Great to see everyone back last week. There is still space in a couple of classes so if you know of anyone who could do with some yoga in their lives , you know where to send them. 😊 In such a time of change and uncertainty, a familiar routine and self care are even more important. ☺️☺️ All teachers and students are fully vaccinated. - Yoga with Annerosa Justine Wheelans Lisa Fabri Nathan Arnott Jane Syme Fiona Kiwi

Morning Mantra: “A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action becomes reality.”

It all starts with a dream. But a dream just stays a dream until you take action.

The biggest adventure you can ever have is chasing your dreams. So dream it, work hard for it, then help others reach theirs.

Nothing like a Level 4 Lockdown to challenge our ability to flow with life. It is easy to feel frazzled with such a sudden change. Soften, take it One Breath at a time, fully focus on each task no matter how menial and have faith that we will get through this.

Our fabulous instructor Lisa helping with correct form and positioning – This is something that can be worked on with a lot more attention and detail in our private lessons.

Can you flow more in every part of your life …🌊 Practice staying with your feelings and you will start to become more aware of habitual thought responses. Practice simply witnessing that which we cannot change. Recognise that everything that arises also dissolves. 🌳 Our asana practice can help us learn to “simply be” with whatever comes up and and learn to roll like a ship on the ocean. Instead of losing equilibrium we become nimble, curious and resilient ⛈🌤☀️ 💙 - Justine Wheelans Jane Syme Annerosa Parkinson Nathan Arnott Lisa Fabri

So Term 3 is here. 😆 Last term’s theme of The Koshas (often likened to Russian Nesting Dolls) leads nicely into this term’s theme of FLOW. The more embodied we are within the layers of self (physical, energetic, mental etc) the easier we will move forward with life. Make positive choices, accept change and cope with life’s unexpected challenges. ⚡️ We look forward to seeing you all back in class.😊🧘🏻
Please remember to arrive atleast 10 mins before class so you can gift yourself the full hour you have set aside for your wellness. 💐
