| Healing Yoga Private Class |
| Yoga can be a powerful method of self-healing for the body and mind. We provide free consultations for individuals who are interested in using yoga techniques to maintain, enhance or restore health. A personalised yoga practice sequence will be drawn up and taught over 8 weekly sessions, based on the specific issues or ailments of the student. Students will be given homework to practise the yoga sequence on their own. Healing yoga thus serves to empower individuals to understand more about the workings of their own body, and the causes of disease, so that they can help themselves. |

Introduction to Meditation, 12 & 19 February, Sunday 11.30am to 1.00pm |
|
|
Yoga isn't just about the physical postures. The postures or what we call asanas, are but one step towards the higher goal which is meditation. Still body, still mind. Learn how to use the asanas in Hatha yoga to tap into the well of inner stillness, that is the fountain of bliss. |
Many of us are overwhelmed by the complexity of our lives.
Because of that complexity, many seek to escape the pain and
pressure through a variety of means .... The tradition of spiritual
thought called Vedanta advises us not escape from life but.. to maintain
a high quality of life through intelligent understanding
of the true nature of existence. - Meditation and Life
In this course, we start with the fundamentals of stilling the mind.
Learn how to prepare the body for the practice of concentration with
some basic asanas and pranayama. Also learn the sitting techniques so that
you don't strain the body or obstruct the flow of energy during your practice.
Meditation is a time to connect with the higher self, as well as a time to master our inner life.
It is the goal of yoga.
Who should attend:
All levels of students
Workshop meeting dates:
February 12 & 19. Sunday 11.30am to 1.00pm
