Hi everyone. This is my ad. for a local class I am starting next year in Brisbane.
Exciting New daytime Class in 2022: "Good BONE HEALTH with Yoga Qigong"
When - Starting 10.45am, Monday 17th January, 2022.10 week term, ends 21st March.
Where - Parooba Ave Camp Hill, downstairs Studio.
Investment - $176 for the term.
Bookings &/or questions- Phone Radhika, who will be teaching this class, on 07 3342 1480 or email her on radhikarandall@optusnet.com.au or pm
Book in - for yourself, or give this info to friends who you feel may be interested, and benefit from this unique emphasis on Yoga Qigong & good Bone Health.

Background - My initial training with Dr Loren Fishman resulted in assisting James Bone (physiotherapist) in several specialist Yoga courses called “Bones of Steel” in 2017 and 2018 (pre-Covid). Dr Fishman’s research found that yoga performed specifically for bone strength could improve bone mass & bone quality.
During Covid, I did some concentrated training with Qigong Summit, enhancing my previous Instructor training with Tai Chi & Qigong. I emphatically realised that here I can share 2 amazing modalities to improve our health in so many ways. I chose Bone Health as our class emphasis, but rest assured that I will include energy work, as usual, as well as flow patterns for ease and mobility.
Content - I will work on simple bone & body strengthening practices, posture, balance (falls prevention), energy flows, breath work to breathe well, and stress reduction to relax well. You will be fierce to your muscles, but gentle to your joints. You will learn how to get stronger, be more mobile, increase wellbeing & vitality, and learn how to stay younger for longer.
JOIN the Bones class now! I know you will love it, because I have osteopenia, I practise myself regularly, and have slowly but noticeably gotten stronger as I do the practices.

We are having a run on Yoga and Running (no puns intended).
Today, we offer a Yoga class suitable for post-run recovery - especially helpful for runners, although I really enjoyed the easy stretches as well from a dancer's perspective.

Enjoy this short 10 minute post run recovery yoga session.
A simple cool down for all runners to try after their run - a gentle active recovery program, focusing on breathing, easy movement, simple stretches, and short meditation to enhance your running.
Be mindful/aware, do only what is comfortable, take it slow, leave out what is harmful to you.

Yoga for Runners 2

Join us for a 30 minute Yoga Class for Runners.
This session is designed to help all, and especially runners who are stiff or older, especially older male runners. The class is preceded with a short section on how to check your mobility at home, with some excellent simple self- tests. Though training errors and strength are the major issues related to running, feeling stiff & sore may influence how you run, so this is a short class which may help you feel better, & move more easily, with less stiffness.
Be mindful/aware, do only what is comfortable, take it slow, leave out what is harmful to you.

Apologies this is not a full class, but I was quite sick and sad on the weekend and did not feel up to doing a full hour for you good folks.
Maybe the isolation is getting to me! (haha)

Today, we offer an unusual and fantastic Yoga class for ankles - a strong program for mobility and strength.

Join us for a 43 minute Yoga Exercise program for developing strong mobile ankles, which will help you with sport, balance and doing more difficult yoga practices. It may also benefit some people recovery from chronic ankle issues. A healthy ankle should be able to bend a knee forward to wall with toes positioned 10 to 12 cm out from the wall & the heel is kept flat - how mobile is your ankle?

This program does place more stress on the knees & knee caps, so avoid if you have knee pain issues.
Be mindful/aware, do only what is comfortable, take it slow, leave out what is harmful to you.
