The move to the Thirroul Community Centre has gone very smoothly so far. It's great how everybody has adapted to the new situation - thank you! There are no classes this Saturday, July 5, due to the TCC hosting the Illawarra Writers' Festival. All other classes are on as usual : )

Classes with Johnny have now moved to the Thirroul Community Centre and Library. With much regret, the Moore Street Yoga Room has been forced to close. We are looking for alternate premises, but in the meantime Johnny will be at Thirroul CC with a slightly amended timetable:
Monday 9:45am - 11:15am in the Red Cedar Room;
Tuesday 6pm - 7:30pm in the Escarpment Room;
Wednesday 9:45am - 11:15am in the Escarpment Room;
Saturday 9:45am - 11:15am in the Escarpment Room;
The above are all-level classes and are suitable for beginners.
For experienced students:
Saturday 8am - 9:30am, led-class in the Escarpment Room.

Please bring your own mat and a 'yoga kit' if possible (yoga strap, 2 x blocks, 3 x blankets is recommended). There will be minimal equipment available to share.

The Thirroul Community Centre and Library is on the main road adjacent to the traffic lights at Railway Pre. There is free parking out the back and trains and buses are very close-by.

From wherever we are in our practice, just starting or after years, there is the potential to transform ourselves - lets get into it this week with standing poses and forward bends ... and a good dose of savasana!

Restorative week from Easter Monday. For two weeks I’ve been hard at it, surfing in the tropics … poor me! After intense sessions in the elements, making time in the afternoons to reinvigorate with a restorative practice has enabled me to spring into the next day’s adventure. Classes are on as usual and we’ll be exploring the restorative side of things all week from April 21. I hope to see you there : )

Restorative and Breath on Tuesdays at 6PM. After a stimulating but chilled Holiday Yoga series, Johnny's classes are back to normal at the Moore Street Yoga Room, Austinmer. Tuesday evenings focus on absorption in the process of surrender - this is healing and revitalising ... and develops new depth in your asana practice.

16/12/2024

Holiday Yoga begins on December 26 and runs for 14 days straight.
7:30am - 9:00am, Led-class
9:30am - 11:00am General class.
Attend as often as you like. The classes will be fun, relaxed and varied, and will suit the weather on the day. Booking links in comments, you can also just turn up, but numbers are limited to 20 max. All welcome!
Johnny has no classes from Dec. 17 - 25.

Yoga brings home the concept that the joy of things is in the process. This coming week we'll be delving, once again, into the standing poses. They have so many benefits, but the real joy and serenity that yoga offers comes from absorption in the actions taken - this aspect is available to everyone that applies themself to the process rather than the outcome: it doesn't matter how flexible or strong you may be. I hope to see you there : )
