Whether you've never stepped on a mat before or you've already been practicing but want have a deeper understand of what you're doing, this is where you start. Welcome to The Den's Foundations Beginner course. This is a 5-week, small-group course designed to give you the real basics: pose introduction, how breath connects to movement, and how to build a practice that feels good in your body and makes sense to your needs. Over five weeks you'll learn: · Learn the foundational poses and how to do them well such as mountain, warrior I & II, downward dog, child's pose, and more. · Basic yoga anatomy: your spine, hips, shoulders, and how they work together. · Breath basics such as diaphragmatic breathing and what is Ujjayi breath and how to use it. · How to move through a vinyasa sequence with confidence. · Basic modifications so your practice works for your body. · Week three includes the Master Your Chaturanga workshop. A dedicated session on the pose most beginners get wrong. You'll learn the shoulder and wrist mechanics, the alignment cues that actually help, and the difference between chaturanga, upward dog, and cobra so you always know which one to use. Your enrollment also includes 6 classes to use across The Den's regular schedule during the course. You can put into practice what you're learning between sessions, explore what else we offer, and start feeling at home on your mat. Only eight spots available per course.
