Restore and Breathe

with Simone, Peta and Tracey,
on Sunday afternoons in winter

>> 5 July with Simone
>> 19 July with Peta
>> 9 August with Tracey
>> 3-5pm each day
>> in studio or online

Immerse yourself in a quiet and spacious two hour restorative session based on BKS Iyengar’s Emotional Stability sequence. This sequence comprises supported poses that place the head below the heart, bringing fresh blood to the glands in the throat, nourishing the nervous system and creating space in the chest. It finishes with a generous segment dedicated to pranayama. A good way to spend winter Sunday afternoons…get yourself some rest, go inwards and find the satisfaction of being quiet and fully present with yourself. For students with at least 1 year Iyengar experience including inversions or their modifications. If unsure ask your teacher.

Cost: $30 per class (same price in studio or online)

Plexus 2

with Stephanie Quirk

>> Saturday 29 August
>> 1.00-5.00pm
>> in studio and online

We will be looking into the region that pertains to the Brachial plexus…a complex region that holds the arms, the shoulders and the skeletal armature that gives access to the chest and neck and, consequently, the throat, lungs, heart and thyroid glands. With our arms we hold the new born baby, we write and compose music, we design and we play.

Suitable for practitioners with a minimum of 3 years Iyengar yoga experience.

This is a hybrid event: Can be attended in studio or online. Recordings will be available for all registered participants for 2 weeks after the event.

Cost: $120

Spring into Summer, the Iyengar Way

>> 10 week course
>> with Simone Ellis
>> Sunday 20 September – Sunday 22 November
>> 3.30-5.00pm 

This 10 week course is a structured introduction to Iyengar Yoga.  Iyengar Yoga is famous for its focus on technique and alignment. Poses are taught with rigour and precision, with detailed instructions given, not just on ”what to do” in each pose, but ”how to do it’. Supporting this reputation is the fact that Iyengar teachers are rigourously trained over many years. 

Have you been attending yoga classes and never quite sure if you’re ‘doing it right’? Many people doing ‘yoga’ make shapes that their body finds easy (ie they go into softness) instead of focussing on alignment that brings areas of resistance and tightness into focus. Is this you?  Or perhaps you are a yoga teacher, loving what you do, but feeling the need to deepen your technical understanding of the poses you teach? If so, read on….

This course will provide:
> a structured introduction to foundational asanas (standing poses, seated poses (twists & forward bends), backbends, inversions)
> clear instructions that set the basis for proper alignment in each pose
> sequences that build access from one pose to the next, supporting your understanding of how poses relate to each other
> adjustment as necessary to help you find the shape, alignment and energetic connection in each pose
> introduction to props that enable better access to the body, give insight into alignment, or hold attention where it is needed
> introduction to the philosophy underpinning Iyengar yoga

This special 10 week course will be good for:
> those who practice, or teach, other styles of yoga who want to experience the Iyengar method
> those with Iyengar experience who want to consolidate the foundations
> beginners who have done little or no yoga

Why this particular course? 
> it’s well timed to harness your spring energy and build strength, flexibility and well being into summer. 
> a 10 week comittment will help you achieve your goals
> maybe Sunday afternoon works well for you?
> Simone is an inspiring teacher with many years experience. She provides clear instructions and demonstrates poses with great clarity. Check out her Instagram posts here.

 A minimum number of enrolled students is required for the course to go ahead.   Once the course is confirmed, through adequate enrolments,  individual classes can be attended by casual students as well as those enrolled. 

Cost: $200 for 10 week course, or $26 for casual attendance

This will be the 10th retreat Suzi will teach in Bali. Last year yogis gathered from around Australia and overseas. A wonderful testimony to the community that yoga builds over time.
