This Saturday morning yoga class is instructed by Pól who studied Classical Hatha yoga and Yoga Therapy in India where he qualified as a yoga teacher in 2007. He started teaching Yoga Therapeutics in Glasgow in 2008 and has continued applying that system throughout his classes. Over the years he has developed his own unique blend of Hatha Yoga and Yoga Therapeutics which creates positive outcomes for both body and mind. You will also experience the many benefits of pranayama (breath-work) which has been shown to improve vitality and respiratory health. No experience of pranayama is required as you will be given simple and clear instructions.

His continued studies in this specialised area of therapeutic yoga has brought a deep understanding of the complex workings of the body’s internal systems and how to assist individuals to address any imbalances.

You will also gain physical and mental benefits from somatic yoga sequences which can help relieve the symptoms of stress and anxiety.
The class finishes with a guided relaxation, which includes the use of sound healing (Sound Bath) using various singing bowls.
The class is beginner friendly and therefore suitable for all levels.
