Beginner’s Yoga Course – January 2013

Yoga Health & Healing — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 06:06:02 +0000

I am taking interest now for a beginner’s yoga course starting Wednesday 9th January. The course will run for 4 weeks on Wednesday evenings 6 – 7.30pm. The cost of the course is $80 and includes a yoga handbook. This is a great way to kick-start your New Year’s yoga practice.

This will be a valuable opportunity to learn the following:

Foundation and alignment of the most common postures (asanas)
Yogic breathing (pranayama)
How to link breath and movement
How to do sun salutations (surya namaskara)
Relaxation techniques

All equipment is provided and I have an extensive library of books and DVDs which will be available for loan over the four weeks.

Please email me with any questions or to register interest.

The next 4-week Beginner’s Course starts this Wed night 11th July at 6-7.30pm. There are 2 more spots available. This course is a beneficial way for a new yogi to learn the basic principles of yoga and it includes a course manual. Please contact me if you are interested.

Please keep this date free – Sun 9th Sep for Yoga Aid. The big annual yoga fundraiser is being held at King’s Square in Fremantle. I have been asked to lead 9 of the 108 sun salutations. It was great fun last year and I am really looking forward to making this year’s event bigger and better and raising money for some very worthy causes.
