Marlborough, Tuesday Evenings
Intended as a follow-on for those attending the Yoga Posture-cise Class, this class, new from April 2002, is suspended from 16th July 2002
due to insufficient numbers. You can, however, still register your interest so it could re-start.
On this page:
This is a low energy class using some ha tha yoga postures with breath
awareness but mainly focussing on the non-physical aspects of classical yoga. It will be mainly sitting and include from week to week concentration, meditation, pranayama, philosophy, mantra and discussion. The class will
encourage spiritual aspects to emerge. The class lasts for about 1/2 hour from about 9:30 pm every Tuesday during school terms. It is held in the Marlborough Youth
Centre, St Margaret’s Mead. There are no youth activities at this time and the place is usually very quiet. Good off-road parking is available.
The Classical Yoga Extension will only run if there is sufficient demand.
Entry Qualification
There are no entry qualifications - just a genuine interest in the multiplicity of aspects of classical yoga.
