New yoga classes + roasted maple syrup almond recipe

Lots of new yoga classes coming soon! View this email in your browser Lots of Yoga happenings! Namaste Lots of news to share with you this week. Firstly, if you enjoy the sound of singing bowls, Unjay and I are holding a singing bowl meditation night 8:15-9pm this Wednesday as part of the 6 week Beginner Meditation course. Everyone is welcome to attend this night, it is just $10 for a casual meditation class - book online or pay on the night (but please email me if you plan to come). Please bring a yoga mat, pillow, warm clothing and/or a blanket - Unjay will lead a yoga nidra (yogic sleep) before we settle into our "mini soundbath" with both of us playing a combination of various Tibetan and Nepalese singing bowls and percussion instruments. Thankfully, Unjay has a beautiful singing voice and musical talent which should result in a beautiful and relaxing experience! The final meditation class next week will involve chocolate, so another class to look forward to. I've included the recipe for the maple syrup almonds in this email that my meditation students are familiar with, please enjoy making these at home for your friends and family :) Also happening this week is the next installment of Mat 2 Plate - bookings close THIS THURSDAY for the Sunday afternoon event. Our 3 course vegan menu has been officially announced and you can tantalize your taste buds by reading it here first! Bookings close THIS THURSDAY for catering purposes so don't delay in reserving your spot. Bring a friend, or just come alone and make new ones - as with all our events, dinner is about friendship and mingling and our previous guests know how much easy it is to meet new people when we play musical chairs half way through dinner (and don't worry, you can still sit next to your bestie!) Our guest teacher for the May 2016 Mat 2 Plate experience is Jacqueline Teusner, director of Go Yoga studio, showcasing Jivamukti yoga and yoga teachers can claim 1.5 CPD credits for attendance. Jacqueline's challenging yoga class will have a back bending theme with a sense of adventure, fearlessness, joy, confidence, compassion and love. Russell and I will be assisting students on the night. We have a $5 off discount for bookings of 2 or more guests. This will be the final Mat 2 Plate until Summer so don't miss out, we promise we will keep you warm, cozy and well fed on this lovely Sunday afternoon at Entropy, Thebarton. What is Jivamukti? Jivamukti Yoga is one of the nine internationally recognised styles of Yoga. Classes are fast-paced, invigorating and a fully balanced blend of vinyasa and asana sequences (sun salutations linked to standing, forward bending, backbending, twisting and inverting poses), sanskrit chanting, physical alignment exploration, Yogic philosophical teachings, meditation and relaxation. Set to an eclectic playlist that ranges from Indian kirtan to hip hop, rock, funk, classical and spoken word. A key tenet of Jivamukti yoga is Ahimsa, that is, a nonviolent, compassionate lifestyle extending to all living beings and the environment. This important tenet will be fully supported with an amazing 3-course vegan meal.

Cog Creative Space venue (from my November 2015 yoga classes) NEW CLASSES You may have noticed my website is being slowly updated with new yoga classes on offer from June. I have 2 additional venues - Accent on Dance at Unley and Effective Living Centre at Wayville. Both venues can fit up to 10 students and I'll be running Beginners Yoga courses starting Tuesday 14th June (12-1pm) at Unley and Monday 27th June (7-8:15pm) at Wayville. The Unley dance studio does have mirrors which can be useful for those wanting to keep an eye on their alignment, providing you don't get too distracted! Current students that did not complete all the beginner course classes can make up missed classes by attending any of the Unley or Wayville beginner classes - just let me know you are coming so I know there is space for you. My Norwood Wednesday night classes (7-8:15pm) will become a regular offering, recommencing 15th June 2016 once I'm back from Bali. Classes will be vinyasa yoga based with a 6 week theme, I'll keep informing you of when each 6 week "term" commences. Repetition and building on postures in a progressive manner are the key to ashtanga vinyasa style yoga, however you are welcome to attend classes on a casual basis as well. All classes have a minimum number of students to run, so make sure you book in early and tell your friends that might be interested in trying yoga! I also appreciate any feedback - please feel free to fill out my online feedback form or even provide a testimonial for my website which really does help me to attract new students :) The next 2 weeks of classes are Wednesday only at Norwood - Cog Creative Space, 20 Boskenna Avenue. Yoga is 7-8:15pm and meditation 8:15-9pm. There will be no classes for the first 2 weeks of June whilst I'm relaxing in the sun in Bali. You may be eligible for a private health insurance rebate if you are using yoga to benefit an existing medical condition (eg. Bupa's "living well" program - form must also be filled out by your medical practioner). If you require an official receipt for classes, please email me. Please hit "reply" to this email if you need to contact me, or call/SMS 0412636219. See you all on the mat soon, Deanne P.S. If you are Soundbath fan, please check out Michelle Byrnes and her husband of Shanti Sounds at my good friend Karen's yoga studio Yoga Garage for over an hour of pure sound therapy bliss! Events are held regularly throughout the year in Belair.
