AUSTRALIA DAY - NO CLASSES.

Intensive - 27-29 January

Each January I hold an Intensive to kick start the New Year and really cement our commitment to practice yoga and appreciate all it has to offer.  The Intensive is open to all students with 6 months experience of yoga.  The main focus is on being present and working to progress our understanding of yoga.  By stepping onto the mat daily it is an opportunity to spend more time observing ourselves in the practice and giving priority to our practice as we come together as a group and commit to 3 days of steady, measured practice.

The morning sessions are generally dedicated to studying and practising active asana like standing poses, and the evening sessions are dedicated to restoring our energy with passive asanas and pranayama.  the session times are as follows:

Friday 27 Jan 6.30-8.00am and 5.45-7.00pm
Saturday 28 Jan 8.30-10.30am and 3.30-5.00pm
Sunday 29 Jan 9.00-11.00am and 3.30-5.00pm.

Investment for 6 sessions $250.00

Priority will be given to those attending all 6 sessions as this is a complete and comprehensive workshop over the 6 sessions.   If you are attending all 6 sessions you can book online with the link below.  If you wish to attend 4 or 5 sessions email or talk to Tricia.

The Yoga Basics classes are a fantastic opportunity for prospective students to come along and try yoga.  If you have a friend or family member who is curious about starting yoga, please direct them to the website or ask them to call me for a chat.

July Holiday Timetable and Five Reasons you Should Keep Coming to Class during Winter

Hello to our lovely yoga students and yoga friends,

A quick reminder that the current term concludes on Saturday 6 July with the last class being Kim's 7.30am General Class.  Then we are in school holiday territory where we operate on a slightly reduced timetable (see timetable below).  I realise it's well and truly Winter but there are a million reasons to maintain your practice over the coming months, and particularly over the July holidays.  Here are five.

1. Reduce Stress Levels

With all the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed. Yoga is a great way to relax and unwind, helping to lower cortisol levels and promote a sense of calm. By attending holiday yoga classes, you can combat the stress that often comes with school holidays juggling work and children.

2. Boost Your Immune System

During the winter months, it's important to take care of your immune system. Yoga can help boost your immune system by increasing circulation, improving lymphatic flow, and reducing inflammation. By attending holiday yoga classes, you can support your body's natural defenses and stay healthy throughout the season.

3. Stay Active and Fit

With all the holiday treats and indulgences, it's easy to let your fitness routine slide. Attending yoga classes during the holidays is a great way to stay active and maintain your fitness level. Yoga can help improve flexibility, strength, and balance, keeping you in shape during this the Winter months.

4. Cultivate Mindfulness and Gratitude

Winter is often a great time for reflection and gratitude. Yoga can help you cultivate mindfulness and gratitude by focusing on the present moment and connecting with your breath. By attending yoga classes, you can take time for yourself, practice gratitude, and cultivate a sense of inner peace.

5. Connect with a Community

Yoga classes offer a supportive and welcoming community where you can connect with like-minded individuals. Attending holiday yoga classes is a great way to meet new people, make friends, and feel a sense of belonging. Joining a yoga community can provide you with the support and encouragement you need to stay motivated and committed to your practice.

So, why not make time for yourself this Winter and attend yoga classes? Whether you're looking to reduce stress, boost your immune system, stay active, cultivate mindfulness, or connect with a community, our classes offer a multitude of benefits for your mind, body, and spirit.
