This week we look at stretching the spine in a concave movement,

that is, bending backward.

TUESDAY; 4.30 - 5.40 PM
THURSDAY: 6.30 - 7.30 AM

Railway Halls, 40 Macnamasra Street MANUNDA

15/04/2026

Join me tomorrow 6.30 am - 7.45 am
for an early morning start to your day.

FORWARD BENDS: with the back in the concave position.
Concavity of the spine brings extension and softly rotates the abdominal muscles
without compression.

FORWARD BENDS:

Pelvis is anterior tilt …
As the hamstring muscles begin at the sitting bones and
connect below the knees, the only way to stretch them is
to bend at the hips, keeping the knees straight.

Tuesdays: 4.30 - 5.30 pm
Thursdays: 6.30 - 7.34am

Railway Halls, 40 Macnamara Street, MANUNDA

I hold an Iyengar Yoga Teaching certificate; Junior Intermediate Level 2. I have been teaching yoga since 2001.

With an eye for detail and clear concise instructions you are in good hands. The space is absolutely beautiful. There is some yoga mats & equipment available to borrow. I do, however, encourage you to bring your own gear. Please bring a towel to put over any equipment you do use.

The location of the hall is easy to find...driving north along Porters Promenade, make a right hand turn into the beach side caravan park (opposite the Big 4) and turn immediately left into the carpark. You will see the beautiful community hall straight ahead. We are right on the beach.

Hope to see you at the space soon...you will not be disappointed.

Jan Watson
