First time on a yoga mat? We get it, starting something new can feel like a big leap! That's exactly why we created our four-week Beginners Yoga Course at Stretch. Think of it as your gentle, encouraging guide into the beautiful world of yoga, where every "I can't touch my toes" moment becomes "Look what I can do!"
Our wonderful teachers believe in the magic of taking things one breath, one pose, one "aha!" moment at a time. Whether you're a complete newcomer who thinks downward dog is just a cute pet trick, or someone ready to deepen your practice and polish those poses, this course welcomes you with open arms (and maybe some gentle stretching).
Grounded in the timeless tradition of Hatha Yoga, you'll discover not just the poses, but the story behind them – the rich history and philosophy that makes yoga so much more than just stretching. Learn to breathe like you mean it (trust us, there's more to it than you think!), explore gentle meditation practices that help quiet the mental chatter, and master proper alignment techniques that make every pose feel sustainable and safe.
By the end of these four weeks, you'll walk into any yoga class feeling like you belong there – because you absolutely do. Consider this your passport to the wonderful, welcoming world of yoga. Ready to stretch into something new? Your mat is waiting.
Paul attended his first yoga class in 2017 as a way to counteract tight muscles from strength training, a desk job and a Hobbit-shaped body. He was instantly hooked and, like many, he realised the benefits go beyond the physical and found yoga to be the perfect remedy for the busy-ness of modern life.
In 2018 he enrolled in Stretch’s very first yoga teacher training course and began teaching soon after that. His favourite parts of teaching include welcoming new students in to a safe environment as well as seeing regular students return and the sense of community it creates.
Working in corporate Learning and Development as his “regular” job, Paul has always valued teaching, coaching and encouraging others to learn and explore and this comes across in his classes. Students will always be encouraged to safely find what works for them, recognising that all bodies are beautifully unique.
In his classes you will find options for everyone, freedom of movement, mindfulness, invitations to explore, playfulness and the occasional bad joke.
Each month we have a variety of offerings, courses and workshops to help you deepen and develop your practice on and off the mat.
