Meet Tiffany who will be facilitating a class: Lion Cub Flow

One of the Vinyasa Krama Sequences designed by Matthew Sweeney. A slow flow with emphasis on alignment. This sequence stabilizes the hips and shoulders, strengthens the side body, and allows for great variation with asymmetrical alignment.

The reality of having a home Shala sometimes means its given over to a day of Dungeons and Dragons 🐲

Practicing non-attachment to where I do my yoga, I ended in another room which seems to have been taken over by the builder👷‍♂️

A grounding but soft practice of Sattvic Moon emerged amongst the paint buckets 🌙 🪣

The continous joy of combining yoga and parenting ♥️

Here is the full schedule for the Dunedin Workshop. Just 6 weeks away, places are filling up especially the Friday eve Moon Sequence. Book in soon to avoid missing out..........

Friday 20th September
5.45 pm – 7.15 pm
The Moon Sequence
The Moon Sequence is a gentle flowing form that combines yin yoga with vinyasa. Balanced between active & passive this sequence leaves you centered, grounded & peaceful.
A perfect way to end the working week & prepare for the following sessions.
Suitable for everyone with some yoga experience.

Saturday 21st September
9 am – 11 am
The Lion Cub Sequence
The Lion Cub sequence is an easier & more accessible version of the Lion Sequence. This sequence stabilizes the hips and shoulders, strengthens the side body, and allows for great variation with asymmetrical alignment: doing repetitions on your difficult, hard, or restricted areas. This sequence uses props as a foundation. It is a more dynamic sequence than Moon but the pace is steady & the postures are held long enough to for you to work on your alignment & individual tendencies. It is the perfect sequence for those with back complaints.
Suitable for everyone with some yoga experience.

Saturday 21st September
1 pm – 3 pm
Pranayama & Meditation
A warm, naturing session where we dive deep into some of the Vinyasa Krama Pranayama techniques followed by Meditation. The sessions will alternate between some gentle movement, breath work & sitting. I believe this to be the most important class of the weekend as we discover how the simple Pranayama techniques can support us in our yoga asana & general life.
Suitable for everyone with some yoga experience.

Sunday 22nd September
9 am – 11 am
The Sunshine Sequence
Modelled off the Primary Series from Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, this will be the most dynamic session of the weekend. The sequence is flowing & heating. Variations of the postures & vinyasa will be given but the pace will be quicker than the previous sessions.
There are variety in standing postures focus on the four quadrants of the hips (outer & inner, front & back), balancing between flexion & extension (forward bends & back bends) equally. Variations at the end of the sequence open the shoulders & thoracic prior to back bends. Suitable for students with experience in Ashtanga Vinyasa or Vinyasa .
