Yoga Beginnings

A Foundations Journey into Yoga

More than a beginner class. More than Yoga 101.

Curious about yoga? New to the practice? Or have you attended yoga classes before but sometimes feel like you’re simply following along without really understanding the why behind what you’re doing?

Yoga Beginnings is a welcoming, small-group YogaSol experience designed to help you slow down, ask questions, connect with yourself and discover the foundations of yoga—without pressure or expectation.

Set within the beautiful, newly renovated event space at Riverwood Nature Center, this four-part series is part of YogaSol’s Harvest season—a time to pause, turn inward, connect with nature and make space for something new.

This isn’t 90 minutes of physical yoga. We’ll spend time on the mat learning foundational poses, breath, meditation and mindful movement, but we’ll also step away from the mat for tea, casual conversation and, while daylight allows, a short walk along the nearby trail to the Riverwood gazebos. There may be a little breathwork, reflection or simply time to enjoy being outdoors together.

With a maximum of 8 participants, there’s room to slow down, ask questions, revisit something you didn’t quite understand and become more comfortable with your own practice.

We’ll explore:

🍁 The Eight Limbs of Yoga and the bigger picture of the practice
🍁 Foundational yoga poses and the purpose behind them
🍁 Breath, meditation and mindful awareness
🍁 Props, modifications and basic yoga language
🍁 Yoga class etiquette and those questions you may have wondered about but never asked
🍁Different styles of yoga and how to discover what may feel right for you
🍁 How to listen to your body and begin developing a practice of your own

Previous yoga experience is Not necessary. This series is for someone stepping onto a mat for the first time, someone returning after years away, or someone who has been attending classes but would like to better understand the foundations.

A beginning, not a requirement

Yoga Beginnings can be a beautiful standalone opportunity to discover and enjoy yoga in a supportive setting. Or, if you find yourself wanting to continue, it can open the door to a different YogaSol journey—whether that’s Flow, Restorative, Yin, Sculpt, meditation, nature-based yoga or another style that calls to you.

Between gatherings, you’ll receive optional five-minute YogaSol practices and simple invitations to explore. No homework and no pressure. They’re simply available if you’d like to stay connected between our evenings together.
