Yoga and Mindfulness Classes and Workshops

Learn More About Yoga with Our Beginner Yoga Blogs

When you're new to Yoga it can be hard to know where to start. That's why our Yoga and Mindfulness teacher Irene has written many blogs for beginners.

All of the below blogs are focused on helping beginners learn more about fundamentals of yoga through a series of tips, tools and information.

We cover key topics like what are the three things you need to know when beginning yoga and how to build your yoga practice at home. As well as more general support on getting started with a specific style of yoga like Ashtanga, mindfulness and chair yoga.

Are you interested in a specific topic that we've not yet covered in a blog? We'd love to hear from you about any ideas and interest you might have for future blogs.

If you're looking for support on beginning your yoga practice you can also try out our free yoga and mindfulness videos that are available on Antara Yoga's YouTube channel or Irene's Yoga pose video tutorials on Yoga Screen.

Once you know you're interested in deep diving into yoga we recommend you start off with a beginners Yoga workshop or beginners Yoga course in Amsterdam, or try our online private beginners Yoga course.

Stay up to date and motivated with Irene's latest published blogs, videos and workshops via our monthly yoga and inspiration newsletter. You'll receive a free yoga practice workbook with seven unique short practice sequences when you sign up.
