Start 2025 on the front foot by joining one of our Classes or KickStart Programs

Are you looking to start the new year off on the right foot by prioritising your health?  Or maybe you are looking to incorporate yoga into your daily routine? Why not consider starting 2025 with one of our KickStart Programs?  The new year is the perfect time to kickstart your yoga practice and reap the many benefits that come with it.  Whether you are an existing student in our yoga community, or looking for a friendly studio to start your yoga journey, our holiday program has classes for all levels.

What are the Benefits of Yoga?

Yoga is not just about stretching and posing – it offers a wide range of benefits for both the body and the mind. From increased flexibility and strength to stress relief and improved mental clarity, yoga has something to offer everyone. By committing to a regular yoga practice, you can improve your overall well-being and feel more balanced in your daily life.

How Can You Get Started?

Starting a yoga practice may seem intimidating at first, but it doesn't have to be. Consider starting with beginner-friendly classes to build a strong foundation and gradually progress as you become more comfortable with the practice.

Setting Realistic Goals

As you embark on your yoga journey in the new year, it's important to set realistic goals for yourself. Whether you aim to practice yoga a few times a week or simply want to focus on learning the basic beginner level poses, setting achievable goals will help you stay motivated and committed to your practice.

Creating a Sacred Space

One way to stay dedicated to your yoga practice is by creating a sacred space in your home where you can practice without distractions. Whether it's a corner of your living room or a dedicated yoga room, having a space that is conducive to your practice can help you stay focused and in tune with your body.

Joining a Community

Consider joining our yoga community to connect with like-minded individuals who can support you on your journey. We offer classes and workshops for beginners to experienced students.  We are a friendly studio with certified teachers who care about your progress and are there to teach and guide you along the way.  NOW is a great time to enrol in a class or a KickStart Program.

A 10-Week Pranayama Journey with Fiona: Calm Your Nervous System

Pranayama 

If you're looking to find peace and balance, breathing exercises might be exactly what you need. Our 10-week pranayama sessions with Fiona is designed to guide you through ancient yogic breathing techniques that calm your nervous system and help you feel more grounded.

Pranayama, the yogic practice of conscious breathing, is one of the most accessible and powerful tools for managing stress and anxiety.  I have found it essential for creating a clear steady, mind.  It does require time to practice, like all good things.  So make a start with Fiona each Friday morning.  Fiona will start with basics and give you clear instructions to practice and observe within yourself.

Why Calm Your Nervous System 

When your nervous system is in overdrive, it affects everything—your sleep, your digestion, your mood, and your ability to focus. Pranayama activates your parasympathetic nervous system, often called your "rest and digest" response, helping you shift out of fight-or-flight mode and into a state of deep relaxation.

Over 10 weeks, you'll notice improvements in how you feel both on and off the mat, especially if you practice at home as well as coming into the studio.  Many students report better sleep, reduced anxiety, improved concentration, and a greater sense of calm in their daily lives.  Single sessions are also available.

Join Fiona 

With Fiona's expert guidance and a manageable commitment of just 45 minutes per session, you'll discover how powerful your breath can be.  Students need to have a foundation in asana practice before commencing pranayama.  Talk to your teacher if you are interested in joining Fiona.  Book links below.
