If you’re looking for beginner-friendly yoga in Augusta, Karridale or online, this page will help you understand exactly what to expect.
Do I need to be flexible to do yoga?
Not at all. Most people start yoga feeling stiff — that’s the point of coming. My classes and online tools are designed for real bodies, especially in mid-life and beyond. You’ll build mobility over time, at your own pace.
I’m not fit. Can I still join?
Yes. Everything I teach is simple, doable, and adjustable. You choose what feels right for your body. Many students start with low energy or long-term stiffness and start to feel better quickly.
I haven’t done yoga before — will I be out of my depth?
No. You’ll be guided step-by-step, with clear options for every pose. My teaching style is calm, supportive, and designed for beginners and returners.
I’m dealing with stress, anxiety, or poor sleep. Will yoga help?
Yes — these are exact reasons many people come to Yoga for Inner Calm. The tools I teach help settle your nervous system, ease racing thoughts, and support deeper rest.
I'm looking for healthier ways to unwind. Is this course right for me?
Absolutely. Many women come to yoga wanting a healthier way to switch off. I teach practical tools you can use in the evenings so you can rely less on wine, chocolate or other unhealthy habits, and feel calm in a more natural, lasting way.
I’m worried the poses will be too hard. What if I can’t keep up?
You won’t need to “keep up.” I offer easier and stronger variations for every movement, and you’re always free to rest. My classes focus on feeling better — not performing.
What should I bring to class?
A yoga mat if you have one (I have spares), comfortable clothing, a small blanket and an open mind. I provide blocks and straps.
Can I do the online course if I don’t have much spare time?
Yes. The course is self-paced, with short, practical lessons you can fit into everyday life. Even 5–10 minutes can make a difference.
Is yoga safe for my age? (50s, 60s, 70s+)
Yes. Yoga is highly adaptable and ideal for maintaining mobility, balance, and a calm nervous system as we age. Many of my students are in this age group.
I’ve tried yoga before and didn’t enjoy it. How is this different?
Not all yoga feels the same. My approach always has options, alows you to connect to your body, and focuses on calming your mind — not pushing, sweating, or forcing flexibility. Many students who “didn’t like yoga” elsewhere find this style works for them.
Where do you hold your classes? Do you have a studio?
I don’t have a dedicated studio. I teach in a couple of community locations in Karridale and Augusta, as well as online. Each live class listing clearly states the venue, so you always know exactly where to go.
Can I eat before class?
Ideally, no — it’s best to avoid eating for at least an hour before yoga. Twisting and bending on a full stomach can make you feel uncomfortable. If you do need something, keep it light, like a piece of fruit or a small smoothie.
