Term 2 2020 - Tues 28 Apr - Fri 3 Jul 2020 - this is online now and is a subscription to 10 weekly classes plus other recordings such as yoga nidra, meditation, breath awareness which will be emailed each Monday from 27 April until Mon 31 Jun. Please fill out the form and email it to me with any questions. I will confirm your subscription and then please pay online to secure it. If things change and we are able to resume classes in the studio you will have this option but make sure you tell me this is your preference before paying so I can pop your name down and ensure you a spot, otherwise your classes will continue online for the remainder of the term. Let me know if you have any questions :)
Enrolment for term 2 2020 is approaching. I would advise to renew/waitlist asap to get the spot you like as beginner classes often fill up so you will be first in line if someone doesn't re-book for the following term or if there is currently space. 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 7pm Thursdays who want to try out practices in a supportive environment - we use techniques to balance and strengthen the body and mind and develop confidence/balance and mobility/flexiblity).. The classes are suitable for complete beginners as well as on-going practitioners (who can deepen their practice using stages etc). I am happy to organise a mixed class before this from 5:15-6:45pm if interest but so far the interest for the teen classes has been limited despite good feedback from previous and current students so this is not firmly established. For this reason, for both of these classes, please enquire.
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 Teen Girls Yoga 7PM or mixed/boys 5:15pm pls. enquire)
There are sometimes a few spots in some classes if you want to start mid-term (minus $22 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 osee if I can offer you another time that suits.
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.
