Saturday Rising Yoga

Yes, these classes are suitable for everyone. You don’t need to be able to touch your toes to join this online yoga community. This practise is about the journey not the final destination. We move in and out of shapes mindfully, listening to our bodies while exploring the various options shared.

It's good to have these things but we can improvise; a yoga mat, a blanket, a small cushion or 2 and an extra layer of clothing/shawl/socks for the guided relaxation. If you do have a bolster or yoga block let me know and I can offer suggestions as to how they can be used in your practise.

The classes are shared via Zoom, you will receive the meeting details when you register for your space.

A regular yoga practise can; increase energy levels and help to calm the mind, reduce bodily tension, improve strength, mobility and balance, allow the body to reset through relaxation and improve sleep and overall mood.

If you are recovering from illness/injury, are pregnant/have just had a baby check with your Dr before starting any new physical activity. For your safety please make me aware of any issues that might affect your practise. Remember to listen to your body.

You can cancel or gift your booking to someone else. Please note that booking is open until 9am so should you rise on Saturday and feel like joining you can book that very morning then log in.

The advantage of this livestream class is that we can be in the practise together, if I can see you I can give very specific guidance and support for your safety and development in the practise. If you would like to keep your camera off please let me know before the class begins.

I am available on Zoom before and after the class and you are welcome to ask questions in the chat. During the practise you may unmute briefly to communicate directly with me if it becomes necessary. You can also Dm me on instagram @akomaheartuk outside of class time.

Turn your camera on & position it well to receive individual cues/guidance. Join the meeting early-you can speak with me if you need to, enjoy a chat with your fellow yogis or take some time for your centring. If you can, create a dedicated space for practise with special things eg scent/flowers.
