We will slowly build our practice over the duration of this course and explore balancing options for each chakra - one per week starting with the Base Chakra.

What actually is holistic Yoga? As Ayurvedic Doctor Jigar Gor puts it: "Yoga is not about touching your toes. It is about what you learn on the way down." The word Yoga means union - the union of body, mind, and spirit. Yoga is not a physical practice as such, it is a way of conscious living. Yoga postures, or Asanas in Sanskrit, make only one-eighth of the 8-fold Yogic path 'The 8 Limbs of Yoga' described in the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali about 2000 years ago. Patanjali boils it down in Sutra 1.2 by saying: "A mind free from all disturbances is Yoga". Find out what Yoga has in store to make your life holistic, healthy, and harmonious... and happier, of course!
...as always - more in class!

CHAIR Yoga for Everybody - 'Chair-ish' your chairs...
This is for you...
* if you are new to Yoga, then this is a great and gentle way to start, or
* you want to utilize some of the time you spend on chairs each day to do something good for yourself at the same time and learn the moves how to weave in some fitness while on your chair anyway, or
* you might feel limited in your mobility for some reason and wish to explore a gentle way to invite some expansion to your range of movement
Whatever the reasons may be, learning to 'chair-ish' the time we spend on our chairs is extremely beneficial for our well-being and well-feeling.
(This class continues during school holidays)
There is so much more we can utilize our chairs for than just sitting on them!
