The Yoga Space Hastings

A collaborative of yoga teachers, offering a variety of yoga styles and wellness events

Summer has most definately arrived in Hawke's Bay, there has been an intensity to the heat the last week or two. From an Ayurvedic and yoga perspective, summer is dominated by the Pitta dosha, which embodies the elements of fire and water. The goal for this season is to balance the excess heat and intensity with cooling, calming, and grounding practices in diet, lifestyle, and movement.
Our regular schedule of classes continues this week and you can see the times and teachers on the website, https://www.theyogaspacehastings.com/classes
This Friday evening we have a special event, Tuning In and Yoga Nidra with Rachel and Erica, what a wonderful way to end the week.

Meet The Teacher - Mary Brooker.
Mary teaches as part of our Saturday yoga teaching rotation at 8.30am for Rise and Shine Yoga.

Mary has attended various yoga classes for more than 12 years. To advance her own practice she undertook level 1 Purna Yoga Teacher training in Byron Bay in 2019. Purna means ‘complete’ in Sanskrit, so the training included aspects of all the 8 limbs of yoga. For Mary, teacher training has been a life changing experience facilitating daily self-practice. Teaching and sharing this knowledge feels like the natural progression. As a health practitioner she understands the importance of maintaining fitness, flexibility and strength as we get older, and that in today’s hectic life, the skills to focus inwardly and relax are invaluable.
