THE YOGA ROOM

Well, it's almost that time of year again when we start thinking about Christmas and the end of another year.   Time to celebrate!!!  

This year we will hold a Christmas Class on Saturday 19 November at 8.30am followed by brunch - email me for address or it's on the list at the studio.

One of our long term students, the lovely Jo, has kindly offered her freshly built home as the venue for the class and brunch.  If the weather permits we will hold the class on the deck of her home which has spectacular views.

Please bring your own mat, a blanket and a block (if you have one).  Could you also bring a plate of something yummy to share after the class.

Further details available at the studio.   Please place your name on the list if you wish to come along and share in this informal celebration.  

The class is free and all students are very welcome.

Hello again yoga friends,

With bursts of sunshine and flowers appearing everywhere it feels more like Spring to me.  To get us moving and kickoff the winter blues I have organised two wonderful events with visiting teachers.  Read on to find out the details.

Sound Bath with Paulien Gort - Sunday 9 October 4.00-6.00pm

                       

Paulien is a regular visitor to the studio and she brings her divine healing sounds and high vibrational instruments.  Paulien is an experienced sound healer and her Sound Baths are not to be missed.  If you have never attended a Sound Bath it is a truly relaxing experience that promotes the release of calming hormones, supports the immune system and promotes sleep quality.   

Pay cash at the studio and place your name on the list when paid.  

Sunday Spring Workshop with Lulu Bull
6 November 9.00-11.30am and 12.00-12.45pm

Hello Yoga Friends,

A reminder that the Intensive is not taking place this weekend but I have a few other workshops in store for October and November - more on that over the next day or so.

Please consider coming along to the Flow class instead of the Intensive.  It's an energising start to the weekend and sets up your day for a lovely flow state.  Kim will be in the studio but you can also join online.  Use the link below to book.

Enjoy your weekend!

After a long Winter, Spring is finally around the corner. It’s a great time
to freshen up your mindset and reinvigorate your Yoga Practice.  The format of an Intensive is traditionally early morning and evening practice.  It is an opportunity to come together on the mat in a format  that supports a deeper understanding of the subject of Yoga.  We the luxury of more concentrated time slots over a period of days to learn, study and practice together.

Join me to explore the subject of Yoga in more depth and to take
some time out to be present, to let go of the busy brain and cultivate
stillness. The Intensive is open to all students with 3 months
experience of Yoga.

Dates:

Friday 16 September – 5.45-7.15 pm

Saturday 17 September – 7.30-9.30 am and 4.00-5.30 pm

Sunday 18 September – 8.30-10.30am.

Cost:

4 sessions - $100

3 sessions - $80

2 sessions - $58.

Please contact Tricia with any questions.  I am very much looking forward to teaching the Intensive and passing on any knowledge that may be helpful to you to progress your yoga journey.

In the last blog I gave a short description of each of the five koshas.  In this blog I have included a link to a YouTube tutorial explaining the concepts of the koshers and their relationship to each other.  I hope this tutorial contributes to your understanding of the Koshas and helps to give you some context for your yoga practice.  By understanding the Koshas you can apply your understanding to your practice.  In this way you create a living philosophy that you practice on the mat, and eventually in your daily life.

Se you on the mat!

Tricia
