Start-up courses
We run 10 week courses for absolute beginners at the balance yoga studio. The course is designed to prepare the student for entering a level 1 class. The start up course is an introduction to yoga designed to familiarise you with the basic yoga postures and breathing techniques. Relaxation and meditation is also introduced. These courses provide you with a solid foundation for your on-going practice before entering our regular classes. These courses are also beneficial to students already attending classes who want to further refine their yoga practice.
For those who wish a fast track introduction to yoga balance runs start up weekend intensives for the absolute beginner. The weekend summaries what is taught on the 10 week course.

'Yoga is an ideal complementary activity to all "fitness activities" and the specialist
'Yoga for Runners' workshops organised by balance are a great way to strengthen
core muscles and build flexibility. This will help make you a stronger runner and avoid
injuries. I tried the workshop myself and really enjoyed the 'easy to follow' session and
the relaxed atmosphere at balance. Suitable for runners of all shapes, sizes and abilities.'
Terry Brennan, publisher of SCOTTISH RUNNING GUIDE
Pilates Beginner Course
A six week beginner course on Mondays, which provides an introduction to the Pilates method.
The Pilates philosophy focuses on training the mind & body to work together towards the goal of overall fitness & in doing so, changes the way you relate to your body. It is a unique body conditioning method which tones & strengthens muscles, & improves posture & flexibility to create a more streamlined shape. We often pick up bad postural habits, & pilates helps to re educate the body through the mind-body connection.
No muscle group is over or under trained. Your entire musculature is evenly conditioned, helping you meet your lifestyle goals & play sports efficiently with less chance of injury.
