Weekly Content

Each week, there is a 75 min class focussing on yoga for one element. The classes are repeated for 3 weeks in a row to allow for a gradual deepening into the yoga therapy movements (except for the Core stability class, which is done twice). However, each class is unique; different aspects of the element are explored each week. The classes are well-rounded and are completed with 15 min of related pranayama and meditation.

You can take as long as you like to do the course and repeat classes as often as you like, but it’s best to progress through the course in the order given because each week builds on the last.

  • 'I love that you go straight to the problem through the technique in therapy classes, giving very clear cues, and that you incorporate pranayama, genuine meditation not only mindfulness (of course we do the moves mindfully), and listening to the body always as an all-in-one experience.'

  • 'I started the course with an open mind as I didn’t know anything about this style of yoga. Happily, my desire to return to yoga is being met and I’m finding it very beneficial for my body and mind.'

  • 'Adele explains the theoretical aspects extremely well and her demonstrations are excellent. I particularly appreciate the encouragement of attaining the posture to the best of your ability with absolutely no judgment on where you’re at just lots of encouragement and alternative postures offered if necessary. Thank you Adele.’
