I was also an Iyengar Yoga student for several years and have some knowledge of Yin Yoga. Experienced teacher and course leader (university and polytech performing arts) with training in Adult Education and a Masters degree in Theatre Arts. My general yoga teaching aims to

enable you to do "your yoga": to find the best version of the pose or sequence for your body and the benefits you seek - whether those are physical such as strength, range of motion, stability, or mental and emotional and spiritual such as feeling calmer, grounded etc. Classes can also cover pranayama (breathwork) and Yoga Nidra (guided relaxation - and a form of meditation). Individual or small group personalised classes are available on request.

And here's another short collection of mobility/dynamic sequences I've been trying in my own practice. I popped one of these movements into today's class ... and another that occurred to me in the moment, inspired by these. We'll probably do some more :)

The Super Early Birds have gone, but there are still a handful of places at the Early Bird price.
Authentic Movement is a beautiful practice for developing self-knowledge and/or creative expression. While of special interest to dance/movement therapists (along with counsellors, choreographers and physical theatre practitioners), AM can be practiced by anyone interested in the body's knowing and reflecting on this.
AM is an exploration of movement, spontaneity and intuition when on the floor and observation, curiosity, compassion and sharing feedback when witnessing.

Term 2 Yoga at Waimarie: Hamilton East Community House is open for registrations now.
Mondays 12.30 to 1.30, from May 4 to June 29 (no class King's Birthday).
Classes build throughout the term, working on strength alongside flexibility and looking at one pose and its preparations and variations each month.
Open to beginners and those with prior yoga experience. Fairly gentle, with a a little challenge for those who like that - though probably not the pose below!
