The lunar eclipse via phone camera, without any zooming in attempted. The pic with the corner of our house in it was taken at 12.34am. It was lovely to see.🌕0

You should be seeing them in Events on this Whangarei City YOGA page - if not, our 8 x 75-minute hatha yoga classes are detailed on our main page:

Shraddha Yoga and Meditation

There's nothing that you have to be able to do ... and nothing that you have to 'be' (e.g. flexible, fit, young, experienced ...) in order to come along and join in.

We all work at our own pace and level.

And there's an awesome relaxation at the end of each of our classes (hence 75 minutes for the whole session). It's called 'yoga nidra' or 'psychic sleep'. We only have time for a short version of it after the 60 mins of yoga poses but it's a good one, even so!

$10 to try a class (50% of a standard adult casual fee). Then get a concession card that has no expiry - and can be shared - to keep a class at this same excellent $10 rate.

Queries? Just ask Rishi Iyer on 0277104347

He teaches the majority of our classes now and assists at any masterclasses, such as Anahata Xmas and Summer Solstice Masterclass, which we're doing again on Saturday March 14, 10-11.45am. Mair Park. Free (koha appreciated but not obligatory).

Hatha Yoga & Pranayama Wednesday 9am

I'm keen to go to this yoga class again when it restarts on 11 Feb.

Love the guaranteed bit of Pranayama, which often gets called breathwork but that probably doesn't aptly describe it as they are specific yoga breathing techniques with specific effects. Pranayama is one of the major steps of Patanjali's 8-fold path, and some breathwork seems to be simply ways of learning to breathe more fully and smoothly. Of course, 'good' breathing is always important to be doing ... we do this when practicing our Asana (poses) as a matter of course anyway as it's pretty hard to do poses without awareness of, or watching, the breath (often there's coordination of movement in and out of poses with the in and out breath).

Note that practice of specific Pranayama comes after Asana and before Pratyahara (sense withdrawal) in the 8-fold path of Patanjali.

It's a beautiful class in a lovely room at the historic Old Library in the centre of the city. I also like the earlier start (than our 10am ones) as it gets me prepared for a good day a little bit sooner. Although we travel in from Maunu, it doesn't seem to take too much longer than later on in the morning.

If you cannot come in person, come virtually! My friend from Vancouver can also 'be there' - she attends on Zoom as the time it lines up with for her there suits her.💚
