Our holiday timetable runs from Monday 29 September until Saturday 11 October. Keep up your classes as much as possible during this time.  We are on a reduced timetable over these two weeks but all classes on the timetable are open to all students of any level of experience.

Joining classes over the holidays can be the perfect solution to keep your mind sharp, your body active, and your immune system strong.  Don't let the holidays be an excuse to slack off - take this opportunity to keep up your consistency, and it will help you concentrate better and improve your productivity, setting you up for success when the holidays are over.

We hope to see you in class over the two week holiday timetable, and remember you can attend any class.  The timetable is below:

Timetable

Monday 29 September 6.00-7.30pm - General class with Kim.

Wednesday 1 October 6.00-7.30pm - General Class with Fiona.

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

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

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

Yoga Basics Class

If you know anyone who may be interested in starting yoga, or returning to Yoga, please let them know about the Yoga Basics class, which you can book online, or just turn up with cash ($25).

An Introduction to Balancings

Sharon's classes look at how to start practising the balancing poses.  This starts with looking at how you work your way towards these asanas ie the preparation to work on.  You will look at the baby balancings and then progress from there.  You don't have to be already practising these asanas to attend, in fact it's a great idea to start thinking about balancings, which can be done with the support of props, and ropes.  One of the first balancing poses students learn is Ardha Chandrasana (pictured), which is taught at beginner level.  So jump in and learn something new or consolidate and build on your existing practice.

Chair Yoga - Mondays 9.30-10.30am

Kim has commenced teaching a 10 week course of chair yoga.  It is a great alternative for those who have restricted mobility but still wish to keep active and increase their range of movement.  It is also a great class for the prevention of falls for those with balance issues.  Kim is working with the students to teach them how to get down onto the floor and back up again, as well as other seated asanas that have physical benefits as well as building focus and awareness.  

If you have family or friends who may be interested in this class, please ask them to contact me asap.  We are in week 5 next Monday 15 August.  The cost is $15 as it's partialy funded.  Get in while this is still available!

Yours in Yoga

As the Winter School Holidays approach, carve out some time for yourself to step onto the mat.  The time and effort it takes to get to class, will reward you with peace and rejuvenation.  The studio is warm and all that is required is some effort from you to get through the door!

Why should you prioritize yoga during the holidays?

Yoga is not just a physical practice; it is a holistic experience that nourishes the mind, body, and soul. If you are juggling work and children in the holidays, taking the time to unroll your mat and breathe deeply can provide a sense of calm and clarity that is much needed during this busy time.

How can you motivate yourself to attend yoga classes during the holidays?

Think of yoga as a luxurious gift to yourself - a time to retreat from the chaos of the outside world and nurture your inner being. Set aside a specific time each day to practice, whether it's early in the morning before the day begins or in the evening to unwind. Remind yourself that by prioritizing your well-being, you are better equipped to handle the demands of daily life.  We have a number of classes running in the school holidays that are open to all students of all levels of experience.  Please join us on the mat to maintain consistency

Tuesday 8 July 6.00-7.30 pm - Session 1 Using Equipment in Class and at Home - Kim and Tricia
Wednesday 9 July 6.00-7.30 pm - Session 2 Using Equipment in Class and at Home - Tricia and Kim

Wednesday 9.30-11.00 am - General class with Tricia
Saturday 19 July 7.30-8.30 am - General Class with Kim.

All classes are open to all levels of students.  See you on the mat!

Hello yoga friends,

Please join us for a free class and a meal to celebrate International Yoga Day!  All students in our yoga community are invited to mark this special occasion.  The free class will be held on Friday 20 June at 5.45pm.  The class will be 1hour.  Afterwards we will have a meal together, a chat, possibly a slide show of the history of the school and a short 15min discussion.  

Please book the free class on PunchPass as usual.  If you can't make the class, please join us afterwards.  Partners and family welcome.

As the Easter holidays approach, many of you may find yourselves caught up in festivities and family gatherings.  This is a lovely time to hang out with family and friends - the weather is ideal, and you get a few extra public holidays thrown in the mix.   It's also a great opportunity to prioritize your own self-care and relaxation to maintain balance during this busy time.

Step into the studio for an hour or so to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with yourself.  Attending a class or two over the break will leave you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and ready to embrace the joys of the Easter break.  All of the classes on the Easter Timetable are open to all students of all levels of experience.  Everyone is welcome!

Hi everyone,

I hope your week is going along well.  A quick note to let you know that the Wednesday 5.45pm class has been cancelled this week (19 March) due to the scaffolding being relocated at the front door of the studio.  This is the last time we will have to cancel a class so hang in there.  

Instead of Fiona's class in the studio tomorrow night, you have the choice of coming to another class this week or booking the recorded class tomorrow night.  If you wish to access the recorded class, book as usual and log into your PunchPass account at 5.45pm tomorrow night.  You will see the recorded class sitting in your account.  You have access to the recorded class for 3 days.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  

I have already emailed the usual Wednesday night class about this change to the timetable but thought it would be worth sending a general email as well.

Thanks for your understanding.

Namaste,

Tricia
