NEW STUDENTS
If you have some yoga experience you will be familiar with many of the postures in the Ashtanga sequence.
If you are totally new to yoga, please arrange with Alyson to come ten mins early for a consultation. Phone or text 0415 763 250.
NOT FLEXIBLE?
You’re not the only one, but you’ve come to the right place. A consistent yoga practice will help you develop your flexibility and strength slowly over time. But alignment principles are important, we can help with that.
FOR LADIES
During pregnancy, we recommend you take pre-natal yoga classes with one of the wonderful local pre-natal yoga teachers in the area. We currently do not offer pre-natal classes.
It is not recommended to practice Ashtanga yoga on the first 3 days of your period. If you do practice, avoid twisting postures and inversions.
NEED A MAT?
Limited mats available to borrow. It's better if you bring your own.
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SPIRITUAL?
Practicing postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation are valuable steps in developing any contemplative practice. They help calm us down so we can focus the mind and connect you to the Self.
WHICH STYLE OF YOGA IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Ashtanga yoga is an active form and suitable for active people. If you have mobility challenges, it may be better to start with Hatha or Iyengar style yoga.
For new students over 60 yrs and new mothers, please seek medical advice before coming to class.
