Yoga for Everybody 2021 - Term 1: Priorities
Mon 10 am, Mon 6 pm, Tue 5 pm, Thu 10 am, and Sat 9 am
Start for 2021 is on 13 February!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Week 1: Good things happen...
We will kick off the new year with reflecting on our priorities over term 1. In our 'Yoga for the mind' opening sequence in all casual Yoga for Everybody classes we will shed some light on what it means to know your priorities and how life-changing it can become when you proactively set your priorities instead of letting events, circumstances or other people dictate them... Knowing your priorities is a tool for conscious living and we will explore what this can mean for our lives, at present and going forward while being gentle with ourselves and nourishing ourselves with self-compassion and Yoga practice!

CHAIR Yoga for Everybody - 'Chair-ish' your chairs...
Starts again in 2021 on Tuesday, 16 February at 3.30 pm (60 mins) - no classes during school holidays
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
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.

There is so much more we can utilize our chairs for than just sitting on them!

ABOUT
Yoga and Intuition is nourishment for mind, body and soul.
We offer the opportunity to connect the dots and to fill the void our western lifestyle produces mentally, physically and spiritually. We think too much and can’t find calm, we eat too much and still feel empty, we experience busy lives but no fulfillment - anchor yourself in a new way with our wholistic Yoga practice, using your intuition for fulfilling self-care.
