How to get your free yoga class in Darwin
Pick a beginner class from the beginner timetable. Beginner 1 is a basic, introductory class for any age, size or fitness level.
In the studio: just come along about 10 minutes before the class starts, and tell the teacher it is your first class and about any injuries or health conditions.
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Iyengar yoga is done barefoot.
Your first class is free if you have not been to Flametree before. In the studio, the free class is for people who have lived in the Northern Territory for three months or more; online, it is for anyone new to Flametree.

What to expect in your free beginner yoga class
A chair makes a forward bend easy for a beginner. Props like this are part of every Flametree beginner class, and the same pose is used in the Yoga For Backs class.
Iyengar yoga, taught step by step
Flametree teaches Iyengar yoga, a style known for clear instructions and the use of props. In a beginner class, the teacher demonstrates each pose, explains where to place your feet and hands, and then helps each student. Blocks, belts, blankets and chairs let a stiff or unfit body do the poses safely, so you do not need to be flexible to start.
Classes run for about an hour. They usually include standing poses, some gentle forward bends and twists, and finish with a few minutes of relaxation lying down. Tell your teacher about any injuries or health conditions before class, so they can adapt the poses for you.
Tree pose builds leg strength, balance and focus. Here it is shown by senior Iyengar teacher Chris Lalor; in class, beginners can use the wall for support.
Who the free class suits
People who have never done yoga, at any age, size or fitness level.
People coming back to yoga after a break.
People with stiff backs, necks or hips; see also Yoga For Backs, Wednesday 7.15pm at Woolner.
Many students find regular classes help them feel stronger, more flexible, better balanced and calmer. Holding poses works the muscles, and the slow, attentive breathing and relaxation at the end of class help many people unwind. In the yoga tradition, practice also steadies the mind. Results vary from person to person, and yoga supports, but does not replace, care from your doctor.
For real stories from Flametree students, see the testimonials and the blog.
Bhramari (humming bee breath) is one of the breathing practices taught at Flametree. Beginners can try breathwork and meditation at Coolalinga on Tuesdays at 7.30am and Sundays at 7.45am.
Breathwork, restorative and gentle classes
As well as Beginner 1, the beginner timetable includes breathwork and meditation at Coolalinga, Restorative Yoga on Saturday afternoons, and Gentle Yoga on Friday mornings. Your free first class can be any of these.
