Sharon is teaching a balancing workshop next week over two evenings.  This is a unique opportunity to start looking at balancings in detail.  Whether you're a beginner or a student with more experience, come along and see what balancings are all about.  They are great for changing the way we think about what's possible and coordinating muscles in a way that creates stamina and strength.  

BKS Iyengar writes:

'You must hold the balance by intelligence of the body - by instinct or the sense of equilibrium - and not by strength.  When you keep the balance by strength, it is physical action; when you keep it by intelligence of the body, it is relaxation in action.'

All students are welcome.

Hello Yoga students,

A quick note to update you on the holiday timetable starting next week.  The studio is undergoing some repairs and being repainted next week so there will be no classes from Monday 29 September til Saturday 4 October.  I am sorry for the inconvenience but it seemed the best week to have this work done.  The studio will be fresh and ready to go for the second week of the holidays.  Classes for this week are open to all students.  

Tuesday 7 October 6.00-7.30pm - General class with Kim.

Wednesday 8 October 6.00-7.30pm - General Level Class with Sharon - An Introduction to balancings (session 1)

Thursday 9 October 6.00-7.30pm - General Level Class with Sharon - Progressing balancings (session 2).

Saturday 11 October 7.30-8.30am - General Class with Sharon.

Saturday 11 October 3.00-4.00pm - Yoga Basics with Fiona.

The balancing classes are open to all levels of experience and Sharon will teach several stages and preparation as well as the full poses.  In Sharon's words:

'Balancing yoga asanas not only strengthen the physical body and significantly enhabnce concentration and focus, cultivating mental stability.  Come and explore the pathway to balancing over this 2 evening workshop.  This general level class wil include adaptions suited to all levels of yoga students.'

See you on the mat!
