Drop in Classes
All of Damaris' classes (except Dynamic Yoga) are suitable for beginners as she offers modifications to suit all abilities. The Sunday morning beginner's class is now called Yoga - All Levels. It is still a great start for beginner's and there will be plenty of options for people with more experience too.
"Despite trying yoga several times previously, I never really understood what it was all about until I took Damaris' beginners yoga course. This was many years ago now and I've been hooked ever since. Damaris is a thoughtful, sensitive and patient teacher. Her classes are relaxed and she has a real skill in explaining things in a simple and easily digestible way. Her yoga knowledge shines through and she offers variations of poses to suit individual bodies. She also uses creative imagery to help you understand a pose and the correct alignment. I also remember the poses afterwards! Damaris' classes have helped me to build up my flexibility (and I'm not naturally bendy), to reduce stress and also given me a sense of freedom in my body for everyday tasks (mainly sitting at a desk for long hours!). If you'd like an excellent foundation in yoga or even if you have an established practice, I'd highly recommend Damaris' classes". ~ Jo
"This is my first experience of yoga and I am absolutely loving it. Damaris seems very professional and has always planned a good practice each week. She varies the sessions very well and concentrates on different parts of the body each time. Currently classes are on-line but she keeps an eye on what we are doing and can point out where we have not quite got it right. She does this in a very supportive way and is always very positive. I really have learnt a lot over the last few months and I feel a lot healthier." ~ James
