Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
Easy Flow Yoga is a calm, accessible yoga class with flowing movements and plenty of attention to breathing and clear explanations. You move smoothly from one pose to the next, without rushing.
It's the gentlest way into yoga there is. Nothing is expected of you in terms of fitness or flexibility. You work on mobility, balance and relaxation, and you go home looser than when you arrived. Athletes also use the class on recovery days alongside strength training.
Yes, this is exactly the class to start with. You don't need any experience and you don't have to be flexible. The teacher explains the poses calmly and shows a lighter variation for each one.
Just mention at the start that it's your first time. After a few classes you'll know the basic poses, and then it's easy to join Vinyasa Yoga or Hot Yoga classes too.
No. You don't do yoga because you're flexible; yoga is what makes you flexible. In fact, people who are stiff get the most out of it.
In this class you work within your own range. Can't quite reach? There's always a variation that doesn't require it. After a few weeks you'll notice, without even trying, that you move more freely. If you're really stiff, you can also try Yin Yoga alongside it, where you hold poses for longer.
The class is gentle to moderate in intensity. Your heart rate barely goes up and you sweat very little. The work lies in your focus, your breathing and loosening up your joints.
Looking for more of a challenge? Then Vinyasa Yoga is the logical next step. Prefer something even calmer? Take a look at Yin Yoga.
Your body becomes more supple, especially your hips, back and shoulders, which stiffen up from a lot of sitting. Tension in your neck and shoulders eases, and the calm breathing settles your nervous system.
Many people notice they sleep better and have a calmer mind. And because the class is so accessible, it's a good way to get moving again after a long break. It also works well as a recovery day alongside intense group classes.
Both classes are calm, but in different ways. In Easy Flow Yoga you keep moving: you flow smoothly from pose to pose with your breath.
In Yin Yoga, on the other hand, you hold poses for three to five minutes, usually lying down or seated. That works more deeply on your connective tissue and is often mentally tougher than you'd expect. Many people find Easy Flow the easiest way to start and add Yin later.
Often, yes. Thanks to the calm movements and the variations, Easy Flow Yoga is one of the most suitable classes for getting going again after an injury. Do always let the teacher know, though.
Not sure what your body can handle? Then drop by our physiotherapy practice in the same building first. For a stronger core after back problems, Pilates is a good addition as well.
A calm class such as Easy Flow Yoga is often very doable during pregnancy. Do check with your midwife or GP first about what's right for you, and let the teacher know so they can give you adapted variations.
While you're pregnant, avoid the heated classes, such as Hot Yoga.
Comfortable clothes you can move in easily. You train barefoot. Yoga mats are ready for you in the studio. You might like to bring a bottle of water and a small towel. If you later move on to Hot Yoga, bring a large towel and extra water.
An Easy Flow Yoga class lasts 60 minutes, including the relaxation at the end. You'll find the current times in the class schedule, along with the other yoga and group classes.
Once a week is a great start; after a few weeks you'll already notice that you're more supple and calmer. You can also go more often: this class is gentle enough to do several times a week.
Easy Flow Yoga also works well on a recovery day alongside strength training in the fitness area or intense group classes.
At Black & White, Takkebijsters 2 in Breda, in our own yoga studio. In the same building you'll also find the fitness area, the group classes and physiotherapy.
