Term 2 2019 (Tues 29 April - Fri 21 June - 8wks $160)
Enrolment enquiries for term 2 are coming up. I would advise to waitlist asap to get the spot you like as current beginner classes are full so you will be first in line if someone doesn't re-book for the following term. There's usually someone away so often there is a casual spot you can use if no one is making up.
Term 2 Beginner's Yoga group classes are 10am on Tues and Thurs and 6pm on a Monday & Tuesday. There is a teen class for girls who want to try out practices with other girls who are curious (it is for the average person or anyone wanting not just a physical practice but an all round practice) - we use real techniques to balance and strengthen the body and mind and develop confidence/balance and mobility/flexiblity) on at 7pm Thursdays. The classes are suitable for complete beginners as well as on-going practitioners (who can deepen their practice using stages etc).
Progressive classes are on Monday and Tuesday at 7:45pm with more advanced postures and pranayamas and meditations as well as inversions and salutations (suitable if you are reasonable fit and healthy and have practiced yoga for a year or more & wanting a more meditative, breath-centred style).
Yoga Relaxation 12-12:30pm Mondays
Lie down and enjoy a meditative style relaxation to ease tiredness, stress and other deep seated tensions away, leaving you feeling nourished and relaxed. Mats, cushions, blankets and eye masks, etc. provided.
Beginner classes (Mon/Tues/Thurs 10-11:30AM & Mon/Tues 6pm & Thurs Teen Girls Yoga 7PM or mixed/boys 5:15pm pls. enquire)
Progressive Beginner class (Mon & Tues 7:45-9:15pm)
There are sometimes a few spots in some classes if you want to start mid-term (minus $20 per lesson missed prior to booking). I offer private yoga or yoga therapy sessions on Weds or Fridays and other days from 12-1:30 (12:45 onwards on a Monday) or 1:45-3:15pm. If these times don't suit, I can often offer you another time that suits you. There are a couple of evenings this term that I have school commitments for my kids so if yours is a 9wk term (see form or times/prices tab) feel free to book in for a class on another day/time that week if you prefer not to miss a week.
Home practice, once or more often, between classes and during school-term holidays, is highly encouraged for more obvious results. But the most important thing is regular practice and to try to learn the practices so you are able to practice from home! Also make sure to choose the appropriate stage for you (so there is pleasant effort but not strain).
Once a week will maintain you and keep the regularity but if you are looking for deeper results then you may be surprised to hear you only need practice for as little as 10 mins a day. If you make it part of the early morning routine before breakfast/shower and dealing with all the other demands on your day you can meet your own needs before everyone else's! You are welcome to book in for a yoga therapy session to help with this. Generally 3 sessions are recommended (at a reduced rate) as it is much more effective and enables support between sessions and adapting the practice according to feedback and how it has worked for you and how you are progressing. With one session there is not the same thorough / intense follow-up and between care which can make all the difference.
Remember regularity is key although it takes a lot of discipline with all life's distractions and ups and downs in energy levels - but it will be well worth it. You will feel great.
If you wake up and feel tired and lethargic just get on the mat and you will feel so much better for it!
