yoga tune up therapy ball products have arrived - just in time for christmas

6 weeks until Christmas!
View this email in your browser
Dear Yogis,

Christmas is coming! I've got some exciting offerings that would make a unique gift idea and these are in-stock now. Yoga Tune Up Massage Therapy Full Body Kit (2 DVD set featuring 11 guided routines + set of Yoga Tune Up original Therapy balls) $79.95 and Yoga Tune Up Therapy Balls Plus twin set in tote $29.95. These rubber balls are designed specifically for massage - they are grippy enabling the ball to take a hold of your skin and the underlying superficial fascia and slide and transition it over the deeper fascias and muscles beneath. They are best used against bare skin, however we are fully clothed in our Massage Workshop classes (incase you were wondering!). The softness and pliability of the rubber yields around bony prominences, nuzzling around joints and grabbing the delicate tissues surrounding them - which a foam roller or a hard ball could not do. They are also a lot more portable than most foam rollers! Tennis balls are a great starting point, but for serious massage students, you'll love the pliability and grippiness of these purpose designed balls.

Still not sure why we massage? Watch the "Fuzz Speech" video by Gil Hedley that I have screened during some of the past Massage Workshops (warning: graphic content).

I do have an upcoming Massage Workshop (read on below) and you can also combine a ball/DVD kit with a gift voucher for an upcoming Tennis Ball Massage Workshop at a discounted rate as a really unique gift that keeps on giving! Contact me or have a look at my new Online Shop http://www.flexyogaandmassage.com/shop.html for more information. The entire range of Yoga Tune Up products can be viewed on the USA website for direct shipping to Australia.
Yin Yoga and Myofascial Release Massage 90 minute Workshop for Stress

This special workshop is our end of year finale class, focusing on Yin Yoga techniques and massage ball work to release tension in the upper body (neck and shoulders, arms, hands) and upper and lower back. This is perfect for anyone carrying tension around their neck and shoulders from posture, work stress, sports and new mums.

We will use tennis balls as a massage tool (optional) as well as yoga props (bolsters and blocks) to support us through this practice, which can be made as gentle as you wish. I also have a choice of different types of massage balls for you to use if you wish for a gentler (or firmer) option.

This 90 minute class will focus on long slow holds of yin yoga postures as well as the option to add balls for trigger point therapy. It will be lovely body tune-up to get us through the ‘silly season’, and the last class of the year with some nibbles and chai to share after class.

All equipment is supplied for use during class. You can also pre-purchase your own massage ball kit to take home (2 x tennis balls, double ball and 2x mini ball for face/hands/feet) for $12, high density yoga blocks $12 or a range of Yoga Tune Up Therapy Ball and DVD products via my shop or when purchasing your Workshop ticket online. Please also check out the Facebook Event page and share with anyone you think would be interested (you get $5 discount if you book with a friend) and past Massage Workshop students are also eligible for the $5 discount.

Please note that workshops tickets are not refundable but are transferable to another guest.

Where: Cog Creative Space, 20 Boskenna Ave, Norwood (just off Fullarton Road) 7-8:30pm Wednesday 14th December with nibbles and chai to follow.
Investment: $30 per workshop, or included as part of regular yoga passes for current/new students (our Christmas break up!).
Past Massage Workshop/bring a friend attendees can attend for $25.

A big "thank you" to Ben for taking the images above for me after class. Follow me on Instagram or Facebook for "how to" guides for these postures.

If you have been thinking about returning to yoga after a short break, the Beginner's Yoga 6 week course is underway and flowing every Monday night at Wayville 7-8:15pm until 12/12/16. Casual attendance permitted - please use my booking website or email me if you are attending. The next beginners course will start 30/1/17 and there will only be 2 intakes next year.
We begin a new theme this Wednesday night at Norwood for the next 4 weeks - jump in anytime, beginners welcome. We'll be working with understanding arm balances, starting with Crow pose.

If you you have attended any classes with me in the past, could I please ask a huge favour and ask for a review on my Facebook page (or email to me if you prefer)? Feedback really helps to build social trust for new students that are sitting on the fence about trying yoga :)

Namaste!
Deanne

Hi from queensland - yoga therapy training

10/11/2016

0 Comments

 
Spring yoga classes start next week
View this email in your browser
Dear Yogis,

I hope everyone has stayed safe in the horrible Adelaide weather that I’ve been hearing about!

Meanwhile, I’ve been studying hard for the past 2 weeks in far north Brisbane - no phone or internet connection and the studio even has it's own long drop toilet! This yoga course (as part of a Level 2 500 hour training) is on the topic of Yoga Therapy, the therapeutic application of yoga to restore balance and health in an individual by working with their unique constitution. Whilst this is certainly not an area that I’ll ever be an expert in, it is invaluable to have a basic understanding on how to create a made to measure yoga sequence to assist with someone's health or recovery. The module that I have just studied focuses on shoulder, spine and hip anatomy – all the things I need work on, so I’m looking forward to adding some of these things to my own practice! I have a “unique” double scoliosis of the spine and poor posture from standing whilst typing on a computer all day so there’s a lot to work with :) . As always, I am available for private or small group yoga classes (in your own home/office) and can design a yoga sequence to best suit your needs.

I hope everyone that attended the September Tennis Ball Myofascial Release workshops enjoyed themselves – I would love to hear any feedback if you did attend. I have just planned a new sequence for the next workshop scheduled for November 2nd and I tested out on my fellow yoga teacher colleagues last night – they all had a ball (sorry about the pun). We’ve been spending a lot of time practicing yoga, but also many hours sitting on the floor in lectures – self massage is such a valuable skill in these situations! I’ll have basic notes for you, bring a pen if you want to draw pictures or make your own notes to remember what we did when you get home. The September workshops both booked out so make sure you register for the November workshop early to avoid disappointment.

The last beginner’s yoga course for the year starts Monday 10th October. The whole 10 week course can be booked as separate modules (4 week Intro to Yoga and 6 week Yoga for Beginners). The Intro course gives you a solid foundation of posture alignment for those that have never stepped on a yoga mat before, I’ll also explain other fundamentals such as breath, bandhas and drishti over the 4 weeks. The Yoga for Beginner’s 6 week course that follows adds on 1-2 postures each week to the standing sequence learnt in the first Intro course. If you have any friends that you think may benefit from learning yoga, please share this event with them.

My last bit of news is that the regular Wednesday night Level 1 Yoga classes recommence on 5th October (next week!). The Wednesday night classes are suitable for all levels and we focus on a set theme that changes every 6 weeks. This coming 6 week block focuses on shoulder mobility and spine (including backbends, very important as so many people have a slouched posture from sitting all day which can lead to aches and pains and disc problems) – there will be lots of options and modifications with props if required. I’ll also offer an alternative sun salute series for those with shoulder issues and can’t bear weight. Please note that week 5 (2nd November) will be the tennis ball class and all Wednesday night students are welcome to attend using their normal class passes – please pre-register so I can hold a place for you.

One last bit of excitement for those of you who have read this far! There are only 12 weeks of yoga classes left for the year! As a special offer, purchase a 10 week pass before Wednesday and you can attend all remaining Wednesday night classes for the year. Or, for any current or past students that would prefer to repeat any part of the Beginner’s course (Monday nights at Wayville) I can offer you $15 discount off any of the Beginner's class pass. Please email me for the discount codes. All courses and classes are available to book https://flexyogaandmassage.corsizio.com/ (I’m trying a new booking system) – please register online even if you prefer to pay cash, EFT transfer or credit card on the night so I can confirm your place. If you can't make a Monday class, you can make it up by attending a Wednesday class and vice versa.

Enjoy the long weekend, stay safe and dry and I hope to bring some Queensland sunshine with me when I return,
Namaste!
Deanne

August trainings with jo phee (yin yoga) and simon borg-olivier

10/11/2016

Special tennis ball massage workshop coming up!
View this email in your browser
There's no excuse not to have a massage.. you can easily DIY at home

I've spent the last 2 weeks undertaking some serious yoga study. Firstly, a 2.5 day workshop with Simon Borg-Olivier from Sydney, a physiotherapist and well known yoga practioner and anatomy teacher. Last week I took the opportunity to study with Jo Phee (Singapore) and graduated from her 50 hour Yin yoga teacher training a few days ago.

Both teachers were teaching completely different methods and styles of yoga however the message was the same - modern "alignment" style yoga can potentially cause pain and injury to students that just aren't suited to force their bodies into shapes that are aesthetically pleasing. Yoga postures are not one-size fits all and Jo Phee in particular highlighted the variations in our bone structures with lots of anatomy pictures and using our own group of 36 keen students for the bone tests (read on for more). Make sure you do speak up if you are ever concerned about any postures.

So the massage part.. How can you acheive a full body massage for just $3? Using a tennis ball! I'm running 2 massage workshops on Wednesday 7th and 14th of September using a combination of thai massage techniques, tennis ball myofascial release and yin yoga postures combining long holds and pressure point release. Current students of my classes are used to seeing the tennis balls pop up in class, but a full 1.25 hours of tennis ball and other massage techniques will be a certainly be a unique experience.
This workshop is ideal for anyone that suffers from muscle aches and pains - whether you are an athlete, weekend warrior, yogi or just sit at a desk all day! No experience in these techniques is necessary. We'll be covering the whole body with variations covered over each workshop. You can book in online to reserve your space, only 10 places available for the general public for each class ($25/each, $40 for both or if you book with a friend). Current students can use their class passes for this workshop - let your non-yoga friends know if you think they might get something out of this. Check out theFacebook event for updates.
Thai massage techniques and tennis ball release at my last Yoga for Cyclists workshop
Paul Grilley's anatomy pictures depicting natural variation in the neck of femur - some people are built to do motions like the splits or putting their legs behind their head, and some just aren't. We had fun looking at natural body variation of range of motion around the room of 36 yoga teachers - due purely to bone shape.
The "Yinspirational" Jo Phee demonstrating massage techniques combined with yoga postures.
The next 2 Wednesday night yoga classes (24/31st August) focus on the spine in an ashtanga yoga sequence. The following 2 Wednesday nights in September (Spring - yay!!) are the massage workshops. Following this I'll be away studying yoga with Flo Fenton for 2 weeks in Brisbane and classes recommence on Wednesday October 5th.

The next beginner's course will start on 10th of October in Wayville (Mondays at 7pm), the last course for the year.

Hope to see you on the mat soon,
Deanne

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.

New Yoga for beginners and meditation course @ fullarton

New yoga, meditation and singing bowl workshops
View this email in your browser

New Beginners Yoga Course

Happy Lunar New Year! Great news for everyone looking to make some positive changes for their health this year - my next beginner yoga course will be running at a new venue, Chiro Adelaide (266 Glen Osmond Road, Fullarton) in their purpose built pilates studio. I only run 1 or 2 beginners courses each year, so don't miss out if you've been thinking about trying yoga. Several of my past beginner's course attendees are repeating it this year as they enjoyed it so much! The moves are simple, we build a sequence slowly over several weeks only adding 1-2 posture each week, but you will find yourself working up a small sweat as we learn to flow through the postures together. You don't have to be able to touch your toes to come to class - this course is especially for my first timer friends that tell me "I'm not flexible enough to do yoga"! The beginners course runs on Tuesday nights for 4 weeks during March and then switches over to Wednesday nights for the second block of 6 weeks during April. I'm giving everyone a short 15-20 minute yoga routine to practice as "homework" in between classes to keep up the good work if you so desire.

Meditation classes also start during April in a 6 week course format. The techniques are non-religious and I want you to be comfortable (sitting on the floor/chair or lying) so you really relax and learn ways to quieten/let go of thoughts and attachment to thoughts. I'll offer different meditation techniques each week so you can try for yourself and discover what works best for you. Techniques last from quick "spot" meditations up to 15-20minutes by the end of the course.

Wondering what you need to bring to class or not sure if yoga is right for you? I have a FAQ page that will hopefully answer some of these questions, or send me a message.

Course pricing can be found via my webpage or book in online directly (payment by credit card, direct debit or cash on the day). Please register online no matter what your preferred payment method is as there is limited space at the venue and places are selling fast. You can drop in on a casual basis too, however you'll get the most benefit if you make a weekly commitment. I am offering a further $5 discount if you bring a friend, valid concession card holders and for my past students repeating the beginners course again - message me for the discount code. Also, check-in to the Facebook event page!
Singing Bowl Workshop
Anup (Singbowl) is back in Adelaide for the Fringe Garden of Unearthly Delights and Womadelaide. I'm hosting him for the second time to run a Singing Bowl Workshop, Wednesday March 16th 2016. We have a special treat with a special performance pairing singing bowls to the tunes of the church organ! The venue is Church of the Trinity, 318 Goodwood Road, Clarence Park. Bring your own singing bowls from home or learn to play the different types available on the night. We will learn the correct techniques to play different types of bowls, how to use the bowls for chakra healing and join together for a group meditation. Please see the Facebook event page or buy your tickets online.

In other news, Russell and myself are bringing back our Mat2Plate singles yoga event in March following our sold out November event (have a look at this short timelapse video of the night). Are you single or know a friend that needs to know? Check out our Facebook for latest info or join our mailing list. Karen Gunter from YOGA GARAGE will be our guest teacher again with her amazing partner yoga classes. We've been working hard behind the scenes with Mat2Plate and have also been running corporate events. If you are looking for an event with a difference (hen's night, christmas function, work get together), let us know.

Beginners course starts soon!

New yoga course at Cog Creative Space

The weather is warming up and it's time to come out of hibernation! I have a fantastic venue in Norwood (just off Fullarton Road) which is a photography studio with lots of stunning artwork and sprung flooring that lends itself perfectly to a vinyasa style yoga practice. I'm really looking forward to running a public class again and going back to a traditional Ashtanga style class.
I'll be teaching yoga here on Wednesday nights (6:45pm-8pm) for 8 weeks, commencing in October.
The first 4 weeks (October) will be a beginners course suitable for students with no prior yoga experience. We'll break down the basics of ashtanga style yoga (breath, bandha, drishti), learn correct alignment in postures and also learn to be still in an introduction to meditation.
The second course of 4 weeks (November) is "level 1" and will build on the sequence we have already learnt in the beginners course, sequentially adding on new postures and focusing on linking breath and movement as we become more familiar with the series.
If you have previously attended my beginners course or if you have some yoga experience, you may wish to start the yoga course from week 3 once we start to flow. I'd love to see some familiar faces at Norwood! Please let your friends who have wanted to try yoga "one day" know, as this is the perfect opportunity to get started in a non-intimidating way. No mirrors and hot pants in this studio!
Yoga class payment is available from this link.
I have been super busy over Winter and in between moving houses, working and teaching corporate yoga classes, I managed to sneak in a week long trip to Bali and a 1 week yoga teacher training course in Melbourne with David Swenson (USA), the author of the first Ashtanga yoga book and video I ever bought!
Russell and I will be bringing back Mat 2 Plate - our yoga and fun dining experience event, in November. Check out our Facebook page for the professional photos from the night. Video to come soon!
As always, you can find me at Flinders Onesport Fitness gym each Sunday 10:15-11:15am.

Yoga for cyclists workshop

Yoga for Cyclists and Mat 2 Plate information!
View this email in your browser

Yoga for Cyclists - Next workshop is really soon! May 17th (Sunday).  The workshop will consist of three 1 hour classes that can be booked individually or together.  I am including a 1 hour class for "new to yoga" students before the restorative/yin yoga class commences - non intimidating and we'll be breaking down the basic movement patterns of sun salutations and doing some lovely chair yoga stretches.  The Yin Yoga/restorative class will be amazing with long holds/stretches (up to 5 minutes) that will bring you into your body in a completely new way.  The third class will be a vinyasa flow class with cyclists in mind - something similar to the Lululemon Yoga for Cyclists 4 week course I taught in February.  There were over 60 students at each class - thank you so much for your support and energy!
This may be the last Cyclists workshop for 2015 so please make sure you book in and show your support if you are interested.

MAT 2 PLATE
Russell Chan (Unlock Your Body Yoga) and myself have partnered up in a new yoga event venture called Mat 2 Plate.  We launch next Tuesday 12th for our very first event at Entropy restaurant (Thebarton) which serves the most amazing food!!  Our event will be a complete sensory experience from start to finish, starting with a yoga class and meditation, then canapes, refreshments, show bags, door prizes, a beautiful dinner served on shared platters, and fun conversation.  Bookings for the Tuesday night close on Saturday at midday, and our second event on Thursday 14th of May closes for bookings next Monday.  Bring your friends and have a yoga night out :)
See www.mat2plate.com or our Facebook page for more information.

Yoga @ Entropy
Entropy restaurant is set in a relocated 120 year old railway shed - think corrugated iron and beautiful wooden floor boards.  Everything served is from local South Australian produce (no Coca-Cola here!) with daily menu specials.  
I've been teaching yoga here on Wednesday nights - the 8 week course (6:35pm) is still going for a few more weeks with a beginner's class (8pm) straight after.  First class is free, please email me for more information if you would like to join (or see my website).

Yin Yoga Workshop
I hosted Yin Yoga master teacher Jennifer Crescenzo (Melbourne) last weekend for a series of Yin Yoga workshops and a teacher training course last weekend.  There were 35 students in total that came to practice with Jennifer over the weekend, some travelling from overseas and interstate.  I've already started incorporating some of these yin postures into my classes - there is a beautiful meditative and creative aspect to these long, deep holds.  My cyclist friends will really appreciate the long holds and stretches of this Yin style of practice.

May is certainly a busy month for me but I hope to join you all in practice soon,

Namaste,
Deanne

There will be limited yoga mats available for hire ($2/each) or purchase on the night.  The mats are 6mm long wearing black studio mats which feature 2 different textured sides and are very grippy - perfect for ashtanga or vinyasa style yoga.  Cost is $45 per mat, please let me know if you need me to bring one in for purchase.

Other News
Stand Up Paddleboard yoga - Indoors at Marion Aquatic Centre!  This will be lots of fun and not weather and wind dependant.  I'll be teaching some of the Tuesday night classes during the year, more information about SUP and learn to SUP on Stand Up Paddle SA website.

Yin Yoga - for something completely different (and the opposite to our Yang practice).  I am hosting master teacher Jennifer Crescenzo (Melbourne) in May with Yin Yoga workshops and also a teacher training course.  My cyclist friends will really appreciate the long holds and stretches of this Yin style of practice.

Yoga for Cyclists - Next workshop May 17th (Sunday).  The workshop will consist of three 1 hour classes that can be booked individually or together.  I am including a 1 hour class for "new to yoga" students before the restorative/yin yoga class commences - non intimidating and we'll be breaking down the basic movement patterns of sun salutations and doing some lovely chair yoga stretches.  The third class will be a vinyasa flow class with cyclists in mind - something similar to the Lululemon Yoga for Cyclists 4 week course I taught in February.  There were over 60 students at each class - thank you so much for your support and energy!

If you are looking for something nourishing for the body and mind after Mad March and Easter, come and join me for the 8 week yoga course as we start to prepare for the cooler months.  I hope to see you on the mat soon,
Namaste,
Deanne

Upcoming Events at Entropy!

Singing bowl workshop Monday 16th March, 2015

If you have been enjoying the Adelaide Fringe and the Garden of Unearthly Delights, you may have met Anup from Sydney at his Singing bowl stand.  He is there to help you to learn to play the bowls and choose what pitch would suit your needs best. 
If you would like to learn more about singing bowls and their different uses, come and join him for this workshop on Monday the 16th of March.  Duration will be 2-3 hours and will close with a beautiful sound meditation. 
Bring your own bowl from home if you have one - Anup will let you know what pitch it is (and what chakra or other purpose it relates to) and teach you how to play it well if you haven't got the hang of it!  Bowls are also available for playing and purchase on the night and the workshop is an ideal opportunity to work with different bowls and sounds to find the one that resonates with you best.
Pre booking is preferred but you are also welcome to come on the night.  Link to book  is via my website.

Lululemon Yoga for Cyclists classes

Love to Ride Adelaide

Lululemon Athletica (James Place) Adelaide store have invited me to teach a 4 week yoga class series as part of "Love to Ride/Tour de Work" Adelaide during February.  Best of all, it's complimentary!  I'll be starting my class planning this weekend, so if you have any special requests, you can always drop me a line!

Each week will have a different body part focus and will be mainly a hatha vinyasa flow based class with options to suit all levels.  Mats are provided in-store but we won't have props such as bolsters, tennis balls, walls and straps to play with like we do in my workshops.  I would still love to incorporate some restorative postures as I'm sure everyone is tight after a big week of riding during the Tour Down Under!  Classes run Tuesday nights 6:30-7:30pm for all of February.

I've also locked in dates for my first Yoga for Cyclists workshop for 2015.  Save the date for Sunday May 17th and I will send a reminder newsletter closer to the time.  Booking is already open via my website and new flyers will be uploaded soon.  The workshop will consist of three 1 hour classes that can be booked individually or together.  I am including a 1 hour class for "new to yoga" students before the restorative/yin yoga class commences - non intimidating and we'll be breaking down the basic movement patterns of sun salutations and doing some lovely chair yoga stretches.  The restorative/yin class will be particularly exciting as I will have lots of new material to teach after completing the Yin yoga teacher training course that I am hosting in Adelaide early May (taught by Jennifer Crescenzo, Melbourne).  Students that are interested in yin yoga are invited to come to either of the two Masterclasses that Jennifer will be teaching May 1st and 3rd - super long holds in each posture to really open up and release the muscle and fascia.  Again, details and bookings are available via my website. 

Namaste, and I hope to see you on the mat soon!
