Zoom Classes


WINTER CLASSES ONLINE 

This Zoom session will be a 6 week one, with no live class, but rather a recording being sent to students each week, starting on Monday Jan 10 and running through to Feb 14. Recordings will be available from 5pm each Monday.

Choose between either Gentle Flowing Hatha or Deep Stretch Yin - or take both!

Each class will be 75 minutes long. Cost for one 6 week session is $60, or take both for $110 and get 1 free class.
 
Students will be able to watch the class for 4 weeks after they receive the recording, so can even do it more than once if you are so inclined....!

GENTLE FLOWING HATHA

Cultivate flexibility, strength, stamina and balance with this warming flowing practice. Tap into your playful side as we travel through flowing sequences and static postures. Breath awareness will be generously sprinkled throughout to help keep you present and relieve stress. This class will close with a guided relaxation to restore and soothe body and mind. Suitable for all levels.


DEEP STRETCH YIN

Yin is a practice designed to soften the connective tissues in the body, consisting of passive stretches held from anywhere between 1 - 3 minutes at a time. Most of the poses target the back and hips, although neck and shoulders benefit too.

It is a practice of surrender and patience on every level. Slow down and check in with your body and mind, and get a little comfortable with being uncomfortable. The potential benefits to your joints and muscles, and flexibility in general will be worth the interesting sensations that will inevitably arise! The stillness of the postures also opens up the door to being more mindful and allows a deep connection with the breath. A simple practice that is far from easy! The practice will be followed by a guided relaxation. Suitable for all levels.


A WORD ABOUT PROPS

Special yoga props are not essential for this, as I realize many students don't have them at home. However, you can totally utilize regular household items as substitutes - a folded blanket or small pillow or book for a block, a cushion or larger firm pillow for a bolster, a towel or scarf for a strap etc. A balled up pair of socks can be delightful for behind a knee joint! I would highly recommend having all of those things on hand, as they just help you get more comfortable in those long passive stretches.


Please note, Yin might not be for you if you've had back, knee or hip surgery - so please consult with your doctor beforehand.
