BEGINNERS
EPIC Yoga SC has created introductory level classes for our new and aspiring yogis.
If you have never taken a yoga class before, our introductory classes are both accessible and encouraging. We have created a safe environment in which all levels and abilities can practice.
Our introductory classes provide a slower paced program with more description and commentary accompanying each asana or posture.
Let us help you prepare for your first yoga class by checking out the information below, or contacting us directly.
gentle flow, align + flow, restorative & yin!
Designed with our newest yogis in mind, these classes create a foundation from which you can build on. Held in a safe and relaxing atmosphere you will learn the benefits of yoga, incorporating basic yoga asana (physical postures), proper yogic breathing (pranayama), an intro to yoga philosophy meditation and relaxation techniques. These classes are an excellent introduction for new students and also great for the intermediate/experienced looking for a way to connect with the fundamentals of your practice.

And as for class itself? Have fun. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Skip as much as you want. Sit on your mat and just breathe and get a feel for what’s going on. As long as you’re breathing, you’re doing yoga. The poses are just bonus.
