Yogasana
The classical postures of yoga, taught with care and precision.
Here we return to the heart of yoga: the asanas themselves. This classical practice moves steadily through traditional postures with attention to alignment, breath, and stillness – building strength, mobility, and a deep understanding of each pose.

So what exactly is yogasana?
Yogasana – from the Sanskrit “yoga” (union) and “asana” (seat or posture) – refers to the physical postures of yoga. While modern classes often move quickly through poses, this practice slows things down: each posture is entered with care, held with attention, and understood properly before moving on.
A typical class works through classical standing, seated, twisting, and reclining postures, with the teacher offering detailed guidance on alignment and breath in each. Holds are longer than in flow-based classes, giving your body time to genuinely open and strengthen, and your mind time to settle. Research even suggests regular practice can support people managing joint conditions – the steady, low-impact holds are genuinely therapeutic.
At MoreYoga, our classes are ideal if you want to understand the “why” behind every pose – and they make every other class you take better too.
The Benefits You Can Expect
Slowing down to study the postures properly pays off in every corner of your practice….a few benefits include:
- Foundations that last
Learning each asana properly – its alignment, its breath, its purpose – gives you a foundation that makes faster flowing styles safer and more rewarding. - Strength without strain
Longer holds build deep postural strength and stability, particularly through the legs, core, and shoulders, without high-impact stress. - Joint-friendly movement
The measured pace and precise alignment make this one of the most accessible practices for stiff joints and bodies recovering from wear and tear. - Real body awareness
Time inside each posture teaches you to feel what’s actually happening in your body – the skill that separates practising yoga from just copying shapes. - A naturally meditative pace
Long, steady holds with focused breath quiet the mind as effectively as any seated meditation.
