BEGINNER CLASS SERIES
Our Beginner Class is a supportive, thoughtfully paced introduction to yoga designed to help students build a strong foundation. Each class begins with grounding breathwork and orientation before moving into warm-ups that introduce essential postures and alignment cues. Students learn the basics of Sun Salutations, practice accessible standing shapes, and explore simple transitions at a steady, repeatable rhythm to encourage confidence and understanding. The class closes with calming floor poses, savasana, and a brief reflection—leaving students grounded, encouraged, and ready to grow their practice.
With rotating teachers, students will have the opportunity to meet and practice with different members of the Kalā teaching team, gaining varied perspectives and support.
