WINTER YOGA WEEKEND


In July I am going to hold my winter yoga weekend...

There will be four yoga classes, which will all be at least 1.5 hours long. They'll include asana (yoga postures), some pranayama (breathing exercises), and some meditation.

The classes will be open to all levels, and I will offer variations for more advanced yogis.

As it will be in the middle of winter, there will be a focus on creating heat in the body- lots of twists to help your immune system, and some inversions to help awaken an often sluggish winter body!

After the morning practice, we will have breakfast (hopefully in the sun!) on the surf club deck. Saturday morning breakfast will be homemade muesli, with chai or herbal tea, and on Sunday we will have baked eggs with herbs, also with chai or herbal tea.

The days will be free for you to enjoy Yamba, if you would like a massage please let me know and I will book you in.

After the evening practice we will also have dinner in the surf club. The meals will be vegetarian, such as homous and flat bread, then vegetable tagine with couscous, or minestrone and vegetarian lasange. Please let me know about any specific dietary requirements you may have.

If the sun is out, Sunday morning may be a walk along Pippi Beach, with yoga/meditation on the beach or on the look out at Flat Rock. It's the perfect place for yoga if the weather permits.

I also have some lovely lavender and linseed eye bags to give you. These are so nice to use at home to help you relax!

Dates: 
Friday 8th July 4.30 - 6pm. Followed by dinner
Saturday 9th July 6.30 - 8am. Followed by breakfast
Saturday 9th July 4.30 - 6pm. Followed by dinner
Sunday 10th July 7.30 - 9am. Followed by breakfast

The cost of the weekend is $125.  If you would like any more information or would like to book, please call me on 0412 851 994, or email me yambayoga@gmail.com.

I hope you can come!

Advanced class on Tuesday morning...

Tuesday morning at 6.15am is now going to be an advanced class... We will go until 7.30am so we can fit just a little more in.

Everyone is welcome to come to the class if the time suits you best, but just be aware that there will be more advanced postures in the sequence, and it will be more dynamic and challenging! Of course you don't have to attempt them, I just won't be breaking the postures down so much so you will get more out of it if you have an understanding of the basic postures.

It will be great to have a chance to get out of your comfort zone and experiment a little.

Please call me if you have any questions, or to see if this class would be suitable for you.
