​The best group classes to get started with are our Beginner Vinyasa, Level 1 Vinyasa and Slow Flow. 
These move at a slower pace and offer more explanation on the different postures. ​

Beginner Vinyasa and Vinyasa Level 1
  • One hour classes, starting off with a grounding breath series and warm up, moving into Vinyasa's, flow through the standing pose series, finish with hip poses, back bends and sometimes Inversion prep (If you're feeling up to it!) 
  • These classes generally break down alignment and how to get in and out of poses safely
  • Our Teachers always try to provide a range of variations to meet you where you are at. 

Slow Flow 
  • One hour class, designed to be a slower practice
  • Generally starting from reclined or seated positions to focus on the breath.
  • We flow through lunges and sometimes standing poses and then bring the practice down to move into more deep seated and reclined poses.
  • Our teachers are here to offer supported variations, to make the practice comfortable and stimulating for the body and mind.
Yoga has been practiced and studied for thousands of years. What we see today is mix of yoga, movement, stretching, dance, breathing, meditation and relaxation techniques. These have come from different traditions around the world to be what we understand as modern yoga today. 
​
​Traditionally yoga came out of India. In essence at Raw Yoga we follow Patanjalis 8 fold path of yoga. The main focus you will find in most Modern yoga classes with be Asanas (postures) and Pranayama (Breath work).
