The morning session will consist of more active poses, but from the view point of going deeper inwards and to prepare for pranayama.
A lovingly prepared vegan lunch will be offered and then the afternoon session will consist of restorative poses and pranayama.
The day is not suitable for beginners, but for those with a regular yoga practice (experience of Iyengar Yoga desired but not essential) and knowledge of using props.
