SERVICES
Gertrude Street Yoga Studio is committed to comprehensive and integrated yoga training. Yoga is a deeply personal and experiential inquiry into our own hearts, minds and lives. Yoga helps us to develop sensitivity to our present condition and offers clear methods that work across the entire spectrum of human experience.
The practice of yoga offer a gradual and systematic path of embodiment, inviting a more intimate relationship with the immediate felt reality of our lives. It encourages release from our habitual ways and cultivates a stability of awareness that enables us to rest in the open ground of our essential nature.
Classes at Gertrude Street Yoga Studio are suitable for all levels of experience and ability, ranging from a gentle to a dynamic practice. All classes encourage a balance of strength and flexibility, sensitivity to the breath and the natural energetic dynamics of the body, using flowing sequences to integrate body, breath and mind.
The physical training in yoga while providing time tested health benefits are only the beginning of a life long and intimate journey with ourselves, with others and with life itself.Integrity in action is a constant theme found in all our classes, whether you do a gentle, general or dynamic class. Progress in yoga comes from how you integrate the fundamental principals of movement and embodiment. Opening the body for us at Gertrude Street Yoga Studio means opening to and refining a deep sensitivity and responsiveness to our life, deepening awareness and self understanding. Progress in yoga does not necessarily mean mastering more difficult postures it is more intelligently assessed by how it is helping you live with more wisdom and heart.
In addition to the physical practices of yoga asana, we offer an opportunity to discover and experience the subtler aspects of yoga, refining the practice through heart and mind with pranayama, chanting, yoga nidra and meditation. Students may choose to deepen their experience by progressing from a gentle to general to a more dynamic class or may choose to remain with and deepen a gentle practice.
We also offer Prenatal Yoga classes and these emphasise a deep exploration of the tools of yoga and meditation as ways to prepare for childbirth. Classes include an active flowing style of yoga, meditation, uplifting themes, deep relaxation, pelvic floor exercies, natural birthing principles and extensive handouts. We explore how birth is meditation in action: through meditation we stay anchored in stillness even as intense experiences come and go. Meditation helps us embrace life, just as it is and it is this capacity, that allows us to embrace the special journey of birth itself.
