Beginners, Stiff and Injured

All classes in the FG 12 (excluding FG2 and Beast) our designed to be suitable for beginners, but for the particularly yoga shy the below is the gentlest introduction to Yoga, or particularly great for those who are working with a lot of stiffness. You can find suggested practice programmes for those new to yoga in our FAQs.

If you're injured our S.O.B. class is specially designed for those who are injured and need to learn modifications and how to work with them. This will give you the tools you need to feel confident attending the other classes and staying safe and we recommend starting with one of those classes, and a tutorial targeted at your injured area if available.
