Tuesday 19 December 6.15-7.30pm

Please note that all passes expire on 22 December 2023.  We will start with new passes and a clean slate in 2024.

January Intensive

Friday 19, Saturday 20, Sunday 21, and

Monday 22 January 2024

I love, love, love teaching the Intensive each year.  The New Year is an opportunity to start with a clean slate, to set goals and to move forward in a way that's free of the past.  There is a freshness and a lightness to the New Year which is well suited to the mindset of Intensives.  Intensives are designed to focus your awareness on your yoga practice in a way that you wouldn't necessarily do by simply coming to class each week.  We can look more deeply into different aspects of asana and pranayama as well as restorative asanas.  It can give students clarity and insight into their practice and allows us to start the New Year with energy and positivity.  The Intensive is open to all students who have a solid foundation in basic standing poses, shoulder stand and halasana.  As numbers are limited, priority will be given to students who attend all 7 sessions.  There are options for 5 and 6 sessions but it is preferable to do the whole Intensive.   I will consider taking 4 session bookings if we have places available closer to the time.

Dates and Times:

Friday 19 January - 5.45-7.15pm
Saturday 20 January - 8.30-10.30am and 4.30-6.00pm
Sunday 21 January - 8.30-10.30am and 4.30-6.00pm
Monday 6.30-8.00am and 5.45-7.15pm.

Investment

7 sessions - $280.00
6 sessions - $260.00
5 sessions - $240.00.

Book all 7 sessions on the link below.  If you wish to book 5 or 6 sessions, please place your name on the list at the studio and pay a deposit of $40 which is nontransferable and nonrefundable.

'Home Practice' means you start practising a little of what you have learnt in class in your own time at home.  There are many reasons to develop a home practice, and also many benefits.  

Yoga is a practice-based form of learning.  We come to class each week and learn as a group.  Just like you need to train if you play a sport, ie football or netball,  in Yoga you need to train or practice during the week so that when you come to class, you can apply what you have practised.  This is the way we progress and develop our yoga practice.  

Having a yoga practice requires a certain amount of discipline, there's no doubt. But what it really requires is consistency.  The act of stepping onto the mat once, twice or three times a week means you create a space from which to observe what is happening in your life, and your reactions to it.  To sit with sensations, emotions and whatever else rises up in the stillness of practice, is sometimes difficult.  If you remain curious instead of judgemental, you can create a space that is welcoming, familiar and almost like a haven.  It is a space for learning - some days things go well, and other days things are challenging.   Some days you need to do active asanas to work out tension, and other days you are so exhausted or anxious that restorative asanas are required to sooth the nerves and revitalise your energy.

The beauty of having a home practice is that you can practise what you need on the day.  Practice becomes a valuable part of your life where you can be still, learn, energise an recalibrate.  This first step to creating a home practice is knowledge, but then you have to apply the knowledge and step onto the mat.  In the workshop we look at obstacles to practice, how to prioritise practice and what to practice.  We look at categories of poses, how to sequence poses to gain different effects, how to enliven the body, and how to soothe the nervous system.  It is practical as well as looking at some basic theory. It is suitable for all levels and invaluable to all yoga practitioners.  If you would like to join me, please use the link below to book, or email me.  You will be very welcome.

Date:  Saturday 19 August
Time:  1.30-4.30 pm

We love teaching yoga to children and it's a perfect school holiday activity that is fun and educational.  Through story and imagination the children will learn how to balance, focus, move with awareness and be still and relax.

This week we have two classes running at the studio:

3-6yrs 9.00am

7-12yrs 10.00am.

We would love to share these skills and have some fun with your children.  Use the booking link below or contact me with any questions.

See you on the mat in the holiday break.

Our lives are full of information, obligations, schedules and a sense of having to stay ahead to stay on top.  Science tells us we are not efficient at multi-tasking, and yet we persist in doing more with our limited time.

This workshop is an opportunity to slow down, bring the mind towards stillness and rest the body.  It sounds simple, and it is really.  But for most of us, going from doing to observing and ultimately to surrendering or letting go, is something we don't often practice.  

Join me in the studio to work with the disciplines of observation and self enquiry/self study (Svadhaya) and surrender (Ishvara Pranidhana).  

This workshop is open to all students of all levels of experience.  You will be very welcome to attend.

Time:  1.00-4.00pm

Investment:  $50.

Do you have things you wish to get done this year?  

Have you been putting off plans for something you want to achieve because you don't know where to start?  

We all need a plan and the New Year offers us a clean slate and a new beginning.  This is an excellent time to make a plan for the coming 12 months.

Take the time to reflect, plan and set some achievable goals for 2023. In this 90-minute workshop we will start with a short meditation and then use a simple technique to assess what areas of our lives need attention and where we should focus our energies.  This technique is simple and helps to create goals that are visual, measurable and realistic.

Join me to make a plan for 2023 and make this year count.  

Join me in the studio or online for this essential workshop to move through 2023 and achieve what you set out to do.

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.

Sunday 29 January - Yoga Basics 2.00-3.00pm with 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.

From all the teachers, enjoy your Christmas break and we look forward to seeing you on the mat in January.
