Yoga Course: Basics Plus – 5 Weeks of Mindful Practice
2 November – 9 December 2026
Joga Centrum, os. Zgody 7, Nowa Huta, Kraków
YOGA COURSE: BASICS PLUS
10 Sessions | 5 Weeks | Mondays and Thursdays, 6:30 PM
Join us for a five-week yoga course combining elements of classical yoga with functional yoga. This program is designed for people who already have some yoga experience and want to deepen their knowledge, develop their skills, and gain a better understanding of their bodies.
The course has been carefully structured to guide participants step by step toward building a mindful, safe, and well-informed yoga practice. We will explore not only yoga postures but also movement mechanics, functional bodywork, conscious breathing, and yoga philosophy.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
This course is intended for people who already practice yoga and would like to organize, deepen, and expand their existing knowledge and experience.
Over 10 sessions, we will explore how and why we work in different postures, how to prepare the body for more challenging asanas, and how to progress consciously and safely in our practice.
It is also an opportunity to bring previous experiences together, ask questions, and develop a deeper understanding of your individual abilities.
COURSE PROGRAM
Over five weeks, we will focus on six main areas:
1. BACKBENDS
Developing the mobility and strength necessary for safe work with the spine, shoulders, and hips. Learning how to consciously prepare the body for backbending postures.
2. STRENGTH BUILDING
Developing strength and stability through Chaturanga, planks, core exercises, stabilization work, and balance postures.
3. FORWARD BENDS
Working with the posterior fascial chain, pelvic positioning, and conscious range of motion. Improving mobility while maintaining control and stability.
4. HIPS
Active hip mobility, rotation, and controlled range of motion. The focus will be on functional hip movement rather than training for the splits.
5. TWISTS
Improving spinal and hip mobility and stability. Learning safe and mindful techniques for twisting postures.
6. INVERSIONS
Preparing for Shoulderstand, Headstand, Tripod Headstand, and simple transitions between postures. Special emphasis will be placed on strength, stability, proprioception, and conscious body control.
ADDITIONAL PRACTICE ELEMENTS
Throughout the course, we will also incorporate:
• Neuro drills to support coordination and movement awareness.
• Proprioceptive exercises to improve body awareness and spatial orientation.
• Active mobility and elements of contortion training, focusing on the conscious and controlled development of range of motion.
• Breathwork and diaphragm awareness.
• Selected pranayama techniques, including Ujjayi breathing.
• Yoga philosophy and reflection on mindful practice.
WHAT DOES A TYPICAL SESSION LOOK LIKE?
Each class will follow a structured sequence designed to gradually prepare the body and nervous system for the main focus of the practice.
Sessions may include:
• Pranayama or a short meditation.
• Body preparation and functional movement exercises.
• Sun Salutations – Surya Namaskar A, B, and C.
