Who Can Do Yoga?

Yoga Classes are designed to meet the needs of those seeking a greater quality of life through the practice of Yoga both for the young and the not so young.

Yoga allows you to start at any stage in your life. You don't have to be young, fit or supple. You start where you feel comfortable as Yoga is non competitive. You learn to listen to the needs of your body, progressing at your own pace.

Yoga is about your health and wellbeing, making time to nurture the body, mind and emotions. The gentle postures, breathing techniques and relaxation will make you feel more energised, calm and relaxed.

Meditation classes are held on the second Friday of each month except during School Holidays.

Breathing Practices (Pranayama)
Breathing practices assist in calming the mind and decreasing tension. Concentration improves so you can become more focused. This also helps to prepare the mind and body for relaxation.
