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.
