Beginners Course
with Emma Gartside

If you've been curious about yoga but hesitant - perhaps thinking you need to be flexible or fit - the Beginners Course at Upward Frog is the ideal starting point.
🌟
Our supportive six-week Hatha yoga course has been tried and tested for over seven years and is designed for complete newcomers, those returning after a break, or anyone seeking a strong foundation.
🌟
Led by an experienced teacher (the next course is with Upward Frog founder Emma), you'll build confidence through themed weeks covering breathing, essential poses, forward bends, backbends, Sun Salutations, and Warrior poses, building up to a full 60-minute practice in week six.
🌟
All classes are held in our welcoming Stockport studio with equipment provided, plus a comprehensive manual, video tutorials, and home sequences. It's just £75.00 to enjoy benefits like feeling calmer, stronger, more flexible, better sleep, and reduced anxiety from week one.
🌟

🤍
As well as the six studio classes there is a course manual and weekly themed videos to consolidate your learning. This will be the last Beginners Course until September.

Our May Friday Focus explores standing balance with a practice leading to Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana).

This posture brings together balance, strength, and openness. It asks for steady focus through the standing leg, strength through the hips and glutes, and space across the chest as the body expands sideways. Half Moon challenges stability while encouraging lightness - finding that balance between effort and ease.

In our 90-minute Friday Focus we will explore different ways to enter and experience Half Moon, helping you understand the posture and find what works best for your body.

Friday Focus - Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana)
With Amie George
Friday 1 May 2026
6.30pm - 8.00pm

Memberships, class passes or pay £15.00

➡️ Boring but Important
Half Moon requires balance and stability, particularly through the standing leg and hip, so mindful progression is key.

Also, the following people should approach with caution or modify:

❌ Anyone with ankle, knee, or hip injuries/pain
❌ Anyone with lower back issues or SI joint sensitivity

Wythenshawe FM is a 27/4 community radio station which exists to enhance the lives of people and communities in South Manchester. They use the power of radio to platform voices that are not always heard and upskill volunteers to get involved in producing a wide range of shows for the station.

Last week Emma recorded an interview with producer Ben Cooper to highlight our Community Chair Yoga classes at Civic, and it’s been playing this week across WFM’s Breakfast, Silver Seniors, Drivetime and News Hive shows.

On Sunday some of our bold yogis got together to have some photos taken in the studio. These will soon find their way onto our refreshed website which is due to launch in May. Here’s a very quick preview of some of the pictures.

A really big thanks to everyone who came and a special mention for James who brought his home made lemon drizzle cake.
