What is Foundation Yoga?
In the world of Yoga, there are many traditions and paths to choose from. Foundation Yoga is the first part of yoga that any yogi should begin with. It focuses on basic positions, body alignment, breathwork and mindfulness. These are the fundamental practices you learn that ensure that, later on, more challenging yoga is done safely. Yoga is a powerful form of exercise as it helps to train the body and mind by helping you focus on the dynamics of both together.
