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.
