I'm really looking forward to, hopefully, seeing you at our first Live Online Foundation Course that has not taken place in a very long time! We start on Saturday 1 October and run for 4 weeks.
I'm including the full details of the dates and times below at the end of this email, in addition to information about how the online courses work & what you will need in case you need a reminder, or you are new to the online courses. So do take a look and just drop me a line if you'd like to book. And if you have any questions having read the information below, please don't hesitate to ask.
An opportunity to immerse yourself more fully into the practice we cover on the Foundation Course. If you would like to revisit, refresh, go deeper into or simply luxuriate in the foundational practice of the Dynamic Yoga Method then this workshop is for you.
It is also a great opportunity for those new to yoga who are unable to attend the Foundation Courses in London, and is advisable to anyone who hasn't done the Foundation Course.
Suitable for those new to yoga and also more experienced practitioners.
Annette is a renowned teacher and her classes are taught in the Dynamic Yoga Method. This practice comes from a point of non-duality, embracing the whole, both spiritual and the sensual. It is based on sensitivity, honesty and openness to what is actually happening, respecting and responding to the body's innate intelligence.
How do the Live Online Courses work?
My teaching, as many of you know is primarily given through verbal instruction so you can focus on your own practice, although as usual I will be offering demonstrations when needed.
The platform we will be using is Zoom. This is very easy to use, and you don't need a very high capacity internet connection to participate. (I'll tell you how you can check if yours is ok in a moment...).
Once your booking is confirmed, a few days before the course, you will receive an invite from me, which will contain a private link and a password to access the 'meeting'. If you haven't used Zoom already, once you click on the link there will be a prompt to download and run Zoom which will take about a minute, you will only need to do that the first time before entering the meeting.
The access to the class courses will be strictly limited to those who have joined and places on the course, as usual, will be strictly limited, so there won't be too many people for me to watch and guide well.
I will be leaving the choice as to whether to be naked or not, to each participant to decide individually. This is the opportunity for you to practice yoga naked in a secure respectful online group, and most people will be mainly focussing on their own practice, but I do understand that some people may feel different with it being an online class than in a physical group so that decision is completely your own.
I as the teacher will have my screen equally divided between all participants, in 'gallery view' so I can see all participants equally and give guidance and tips while teaching. As attendees you will be able to 'pin' my image to have my image as your full screen while you are doing the class.
I will open the meeting 10/15 minutes before the class is due to begin, to give time for people to arrive, relax and settle, say hello if they want, and to make sure their mat/computer etc is in the right place, although you are also very welcome just to relax, lie down and meditation in preparation for the class. I will also hang around afterwards for around 10 minutes if any one wants to chat or ask questions, but you are equally free to just leave and get on with your day.
For the class you will need;
- A yoga mat - if you're doing the practice on a hard floor I would suggest buying a fairly thick one, or two basic mats. On a carpet a less substantial mat is fine. You can buy them online in many places. www.yogamatters.com has a good selection - make sure it will arrive on time.
- A laptop or computer with a webcam (or a separate webcam you can attach), and Ipad is fine, even a smartphone, and also built in speakers, (or speakers you can attach)
- An average speed internet connection, zoom advises that for most computers the system requirements are; 800kbps/1.0Mbps (up/down) for high quality video. For gallery view and/or 720p HD video: 1.5Mbps/1.5Mbps (up/down) Receiving 1080p HD video requires 2.5mbps (up/down) Sending 1080p HD video requires 3.0 Mbps (up/down)
- You can check what your own speed internet very quickly and easily at the broadband speed check at; https://broadbandtest.which.co.uk/ if you'd like to make sure before you enrol.
- Enough space in your home to place your mat and your laptop/camera so that your mat is at the bottom of the screen and if you stand up you can see all of you and some space above your head.
Foundation Course Content
The Foundation course is suitable for those new to yoga, and also to more experienced practitioners who want to clarify and bring added depth to their practice. The course is also open to those who have already done the Foundation Course. Many people feel that they prefer to repeat the course before they feel ready to progress to a level 2 course, and return to it again and again after having done the Level 2 practice, to strengthen and improve their practice all round. Usually people find they discover something new each time they repeat the Foundation course.
We will begin each class with pranayama (breath practice) which will progress throughout the course. During the course we will establish the foundations of a good yoga practice, progressing in terms of what we're doing physically from week to week, guided by the fundamental prinicples of yoga.
The cost for the 4 week Foundation course is £75.
It also may be possible occasionally to book for 1,2 or 3 of the classes at a rate of £29 per class subject to availability. Priority is given to those who want to attend the full course.
Booking is made in advance (as the course is likely to fill up) and your place is confirmed upon payment, which is usually made by bank transfer. Alternate advance payment methods can be discussed if a transfer is difficult for you for any reason.
In case of cancellation full course cost may be refunded less £10 up until 2 days before the course is due to commence, after this date no refund or transfer is available.
In case of absence, audio recording of the specific class will be provided if advance notice is given.
Please feel welcome to be in touch if you have any questions not covered by the above information, or on the website, or if you would like to book. The best way to contact or book is via email on nakedyogalondon@gmail.com
By booking you agree to all of the above terms and conditions.
Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully to seeing you soon
