Yoga for Complete Beginners course
Join us for another inclusive and expertly taught small group Yoga for Complete Beginners course at the lovely first floor Mill Studio, Moulsham Mill, Chelmsford centre.
Now in its second decade, we created this four-week foundation course for people seeking an authentic, highly inclusive and introduction to a rounded, authentic yoga practice.
Our group sizes are always small with an average of just ten students, making for a supportive, friendly atmosphere where - very unusually - students are offered space to ask questions during class and gently explore their own experience.
A balanced approach
In these four-week courses we teach the fundamentals of a balanced yoga practice - postures, breathworks, meditation, relaxation - in an inclusive way.
It is our intention that, by the end of the course, you will have practiced many core yoga postures whilst having experienced the calming, centering benefits of other pivotal aspects of yoga such as relaxation and meditation.
We hope you will have the confidence to join a regular beginners' class, and, most importantly, an overwhelmingly positive experience of yoga.
Our autumn 2025 course will be brilliantly led by highly experienced yoga and meditation teacher Sarah Sadler.
Course structure
Every class will contain elements a rounded yoga practice:
Physical postures (known as asana) - working to strengthen and tone the body, and boost safe mobility.
Meditation - yoga is an ancient form of meditation. By including simple, accessible mindfulness techniques, often enjoyed lying down, we invite the mind into a less reactive, calmer state.
Breathwork (known as pranayama) - how we can use simple breath practices to boost mood and re-balance the nervous system
Relaxation - in our culture of permanent busyness, most of us have forgotten how to relax. We spend time on this incredibly important art.
“I loved YATM’s four-week Complete Beginners Yoga course. It was relaxed and informal, friendly and yet so informative. I found it pitched at just the right level and delivered everything I had hoped for. The time to myself was a dose of luxury and self-care in an otherwise busy week.”
