FLYING YOGA Course (6 weeks)
Begins Wed April 6th, 7:30-9pm. Cost: $100. Next course begins May 18th.
Flying Yoga is so much fun, you won't even realise you're doing yoga! Working with others in acrobalances within the yoga style needs to be experienced.
Classes begin with a vinyasa warm-up, moving into partner yoga, and then we work together on acrobalances in groups. This is a really fun, challenging class which allows students to deepen trust, build communication and deepen usual yoga postures in more unusual ways using gravity and the support of others.
KIDS YOGA (by demand)
Next kids course for 7-12 y.o.s begins Monday March 21st, 4-5pm.
For kids aged 4-7 or 7-12. Kids are taken on a yoga journey, exploring postures through using imagination, so we often walk through imaginary jungles or the beach and find animals to turn into. Games are played without competition and positive messages are given in stories. Kids gain flexibility, increase co-ordination and concentration, and develop a positive attitude towards something that is good for them. Occasionally we incorporate partner work and some acrobalancing, which kids love.
GENERAL YOGA (see timetable)
Our general yoga is vinyasa-based. It is geared towards challenging practitioners at all levels. Different variations of postures are given so that everyone can access the pose and others can be challenged. Bodies are toned and strengthened with particular emphasis on the core (lower back and abdominal muscles). We work with pranayama (breathing exercises), bandha (muscular locks), and yogic philosophy.
VINYASA FLOW
A more challenging class. For those who want a dynamic workout. This is the class. Vinyasa means movement with breath. A nice, flowing yoga workout. Intermediate yoga practice recommended.
GENTLE YOGA
For those with less flexibility or those who just want a gentle stretch. Most people should be able to access this class and gain the positive effects of yoga.

- Massage Therapists (Shiatsu, reflexology)
