An unhurried hour learning the shapes properly, before anyone asks you to flow.

Foundations is where a new practice starts. The teacher breaks down each posture before you hold it, so you leave knowing the difference between the shapes rather than copying them.

Come to the first weeks of yoga, or after a long break. It is the calmest possible on-ramp to everything else on the timetable.
