Term 3 (20Jul-25 Sep 2020) - Tues 28 Apr - Fri 3 Jul 2020
I am very happy to say classes are starting back at the studio but zoom yoga is remaining in place on Thursdays at 12pm for those of you working from home or who find it more convenient.
Enrolment for term 3 2020 is happening. I would advise to renew/waitlist asap to get the spot you like as beginner classes often fill up and classes are limited to only 5 due to the current COVID space requirements.
Term 3 Beginner's Yoga group classes are 10am on Tues and Thurs and 6pm on a Monday & Tuesday (and Thurs at 7pm is an extra class for this term only to compensate for less people per class as well as the zoom class or recordings only).
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). If you've practiced yoga for atleast a year, give this a go. It is stronger than beginner but I will still give gentle options!
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 7pm)
There are sometimes a few spots in some classes if you want to start mid-term (minus $22 per lesson missed prior to booking). Casual classes (if space are $27 for 90mins). I offer private yoga or yoga therapy sessions ($100 for 90mins) on Weds or Fridays and other times as available (call to arrange).
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 ongoing regular practice & to try to learn the practices so you are able to practice from home even just awareness of posture. I see amazing results in students and love any feedback which is encouraging and helps me to learn and grow too. Make sure to choose the appropriate stage for you (so there is pleasant effort but not strain). If you choose a stage that is not appropriate for you, ask yourself why :)
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. One session is ocassionally enough, but generally atleast 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. Private & yoga therapy sessions can be a stepping stone to a group class or help you overcome a block.
Remember regularity is key although it takes a lot of longing/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! That's what will motivate you in the end.

Beginner classes (Mon/Tues/Thurs 10-11:30AM & Mon/Tues 6pm & Thurs 7pm)
- We will practice the pawanmuktasana series of asana among other beginner practices. These help release blockages improving energy and circulation as well as strength and flexiblity.
- Focus will be on further developing strength, flexibility,balance & endurance as well as covering basic breathing and meditative techniques to help manage emotions and mind.
- Different stages of the practice are offered to suit the practitioner's progression.
- The class will end with many people's favourite practice, yoga nidra (deep meditative relaxation).
- The practices are modified and staged according to individual needs.
- Tuesday morning is the gentlest class as more options are given including chair yoga options however the boxes at the back of the room can be used in any class if it's better for the knees that sitting on the floor.
- The classes will be stronger. Variations and modifications are given so please choose appropriately.
- Surya Namaskara will be included within each class. The modified version will be introduced first - if appropriate the full practice can be adopted for more experienced practitioners.
- There will be some inversions and postures may be held for greater time/repetition.
- Deeper stages and more advanced pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation will be practiced.
