Our final workshop before the next 4 week block of classes is with Yumi next Saturday the 9th of August.

The workshop will include:
-Led Asana Class
-Chanting
-A talk on What It Means to Be a Student of Yoga

This is an invitation to explore the deeper dimensions of yoga beyond physical postures. We begin with a led asana class- a practice that emphasizes focus through breath and awareness in motion, guiding us toward inner relaxation. As we move with the breath, we cultivate steadiness in both body and mind, preparing the ground for meditation.

Following the asana practice, we’ll explore the meditative power of sound through chanting. Chanting is a traditional practice that brings clarity, a sense of connection to the divine, and inner stillness. Sacred chanting helps us block out the outer noise/chatters and focus on the sound and vibration, which carry a special kind of power.

We’ll also engage in a discussion on what it truly means to be a student of yoga- not just in class, but in life. Together, we’ll reflect on the value of seeking, honesty, humility, and inner discipline as we walk this path.

When: Saturday 9th August from 7am- 9.30am
Fee: $50
*Payment can be made by cash or bank transfer to Yumi.

In this next workshop, we’ll revisit some of the foundations of the ashtanga vinyasa method. Linking the breath with movement and count, we will move through the full led primary series practice. Attention will be directed to how this particular method or approach to asana practice can support us to create more freedom and space in body and mind.

Within the 2.5hr workshop, we’ll also break down some options to explore when practising dynamic spinal extension. Looking at some common themes observed and experienced during practice, we explore how different cues or modifications can support more freedom of movement. Not every verbal cue you hear in an instructed or led yoga practice will be a universal principle that applies to you, or at every point in time. Taking time to observe ourselves and our own responses to different cues, our anatomy, and habitual movement patterns - can support us to practice with more self awareness (and longevity in mind)!

Some familiarity with the sequence or prior experience practising yoga asana is recommended. If you’re unsure, or to confirm you’re attending - DM with questions or for location.

Workshop fee: $40 (cash or card on the day).
