Open House Yoga

Mourning 🖤 Solidarity 🖤 Community

In solidarity with our First Nations People, this Friday Open House is closed.

For the last 5 years OH has stayed open, as a way to make small contributions to Pay The Rent - because sorry isn’t enough.

All passes that were sold on the day and all revenue from classes attended were matched by OHY and the funds given to Indigenous Literacy Foundation. A deep heartfelt thank you to our community. You have been so generous with purchasing passes on Jan 26 the last 5 years. I saw you waiting until the day and buying multiple passes - you absolute legends.

I chose because literacy is a tool to freedom, and keeping culture through stories is resistance. As a Palestinian/Filipina I know this to my core. It never felt right staying open on a day of mourning for the people who’s land I reside, but I rationalised it with fundraising. After a poorly organised referendum, one that preceded truth-telling, a Treaty and was enveloped in so much inflammatory misinformation, OH is changing direction. It’s not business as usual. We will be closed. Instead there will be other opportunities to join in solidarity - a giveaway, a community event and a ‘Pay The Rent’ Class.

I’ll be posting more information this week. Be sure to keep a look out!

With love and in solidarity,
Laila

Ashtanga Workshop

‘Refinement and Purpose’
Saturday, 18th of November
1-4.30pm

When we begin an Ashtanga practice we start with the outline. As a level of comfort unfolds, we add more detail. This is for students with some prior Ashtanga experience, to go over the familiar with new eyes and see how the seemingly simple relates to more complex aspects of practice.

💫“Unlocking Standing”
💫 “Breaking it down, to build it up” - twists, backbends and transitions
💫 Q&A - Time to answer and workshop submitted questions

Ummmm yummm!

“I am the audience. Each student is a universe unto themselves, and it is my place to recognize and celebrate the unique worlds that surround me.
And to do that, I first look at their feet.” ♥️

A yoga teacher explains why she turns her gaze downward before the start of class--and it's not for the reasons you might think.
