Enrol for two classes this term and go to Led Practice for free!

To learn and study the art of yoga, a little discipline and consistency is necessary.  We value these qualities highly as teachers and yoga practitioners ourselves.  Ultimately, the more we get on the mat to practice, the greater the rewards to our physical and mental health and to the way we move in the world.  Having a regular practice allows us to take time out of our busy lives to observe, to notice and be present.  Consistently coming onto the mat over time allows us to experience our patterns and habits.

Led Practice

Led Practice is a perfect environment to observe ourselves.  We all practice together - a teacher or Level 2 student calls and leads each asana and we all follow.  We adjust the asanas to our individual capacity by shortening the timings or taking support with equipment.  It's a gateway to home practice and a magnificent way to start your weekend!

Home Practice Workshop

Ultimately, we encourage our students to practise at home.  This keeps a rhythm and situates your yoga practice as part of your life.  It gives it a priority amongst all the other demands and noise in your life and brings harmony and balance.  

The Home Practice Workshop takes place on Saturday 3 August 1.00-4.00pm.  

Join me!  Bookings in class.

Christmas Class and Brunch Saturday 14 December 7.30am

Yoga

The end of the year deserves to be celebrated!  To say thank you for your support in 2024, we invite all our beautiful students to come along to a free Christmas Class.  This opportunity combines the benefits of yoga practice with the joy of coming together as a community.  

 

Brunch at Scrumptious 

After the class we will go downstairs for brunch.  Having brunch together is a great way to connect with fellow students for an informal catch up.  We have booked the cafe downstairs but require firm numbers by Monday 9 December.   (Each student will pay for their own meal).  I will place a list at the studio so you can indicate your attendance for either or both.

7.30am-8.30am - Free Christmas Class

8.45am - Brunch downstairs at Scrumptious

 

We look forward to seeing you to celebrate the end of another year of yoga.

Namaste

Sound Bath 4.00-6.00pm Saturday 5 October

Let yourself be taken on a wonderful journey while being immersed by high vibrational sounds of amazing Gongs, Tibetan and Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls, Shaman Drum, Chimes, Overtone Xylophone, Monochord and beautiful Channeled Toning that will transmit powerful codes for healing, inspiration and connection to the higher realms.

A Sound Bath will bring you into a deep state of relaxation, stimulating the innate healing abilities of your body. It helps pain relief, the release of calming hormones, improves the immune system and sleep quality. It offers the opportunity to be away from daily concerns and just surrender to the flow of beautiful, soothing sounds making you feel uplifted and supported.

Paulien Gort is an experienced Sound Healer who runs regular Sound Baths in Sydney. Bringing in her experience with shamanic healing, she facilitates powerful shifts on a physical/emotional/spiritual level.

Yoga for Children and Young Adults - October Holidays

School holidays are almost here and we are offering classes and workshops to provide some educational fun for all age groups.  Come along and enjoy the fun and learn some new skills.  Times and dates are below:

Wednesday 2 October

9.30-11.00am - Yoga for Children 5-11yrs + Bath Bomb Workshop

This class explores yoga poses with guidance from the teacher and some input from the children.  We focus on mindfulness, observation, listening, concentration, and learning to be still.  The yoga poses are taught without expectation or judgment to encourage participation and confidence.   The class will be loads of fun and build skills and team work.  Following the class we will make bath bombs which your children can take home.  Please bring a plastic container to carry them home in.

11.15am-12.45pm Yoga for 12yrs+ and Natural Perfume Workshop

This class teaches various yoga poses in action.  It's dynamic and teaches coordination, focus, mindfulness and observation.  We will work as a team and work as individuals to listen, observe and work steadily through the class.  The students will also have some input and contribute to the poses we learn as a group.  At the end of the class there will be a relaxation segment - a time to be quiet and look inwards.  We will observe our breath and learn to settle ourselves and be still.
After the Class we will make a natural perfume in a roller ball which can be taken home.  There will be a choice of essential oils including base notes which are grounding, top notes which are typically energising such as citrus oils, and everything in between.
