Whether you are a Yoga beginner, wanting to improve your flexibility and general fitness, or an advanced Yoga student, looking to deepen your practice, our highly qualified Yoga teacher, Debbie Curran can meet each individual’s needs. You will learn relaxation and breathing techniques to help reduce your stress levels, and you will leave Jim’s Farm and Jim’s Beach feeling calmer, fitter and more energised, in both mind and body. Yoga is for everyone; it is not competitive, and you can practice and develop at your own pace. The classes at Jim’s Farm will be held in our shaded Yoga Pavilion, with breath-taking views, surrounded by nature. Similarly Jim’s Beach has a high level Yoga Pavilion, which benefits from gentle breezes and a soft wooden floor.
