Devonport Yoga and Meditation

David and Gillian
Welcome you to Devonport Yoga and Meditation
(connecting with, integrating and balancing Mind, Body and Emotions)
Looking forward to seeing you again from Friday 03 December.
We are operating under red traffic light restrictions so please bring your covid vaccination passport.
If unvaccinated you can still click on the link for my free Youtube classes.
Keep calm... and inspired!

Community House classes (Clarence Street, upstairs) :
Stretch Breathe Meditate (using chairs - gentle movement, stretch and balance with breathing and awareness practices to focus and calm the mind)
Tuesdays 10am from 07 Dec

Stretch Breathe Relax (using mats) - again, gentle movement, stretch and balance with breathing and awareness practices
Thursdays 10am from 09 Dec (you need to be able to get on and off the floor for this one)

At the studio (33 Clarence Street): Meditation 1, 10 week course, every school term, Monday nights 7:15pm - 8:15pm (recommencing Term 1, 2022) and Casual Meditation, Wednesday nights 7:15 - 8:15pm from 08 Dec

and.... for Devonport Yoga, Studio Classes, please see the timetable below.

You will see that most classes are early morning ones and you may well ask: "Why so early?" Well, the answer to that is that as each day progresses more distractions get in the way of your practice and it is difficult to be consistent. A commitment to a regular practice is essential if you want to make physical, mental and emotional changes to your life experience.
I have tried to remove the financial burden of providing you with a regular practice by making the classes just $10 each. I suggest you try to attend a class at least once a week and on the other days use one of the free youtube classes I have provided via the link on this website.
Don't expect what I offer to provide you with a quick fix. Your journey starts here, and while enjoyable, like learning anything worthwhile, it is going to take a long time and it is the 'process' that matters most.
Do you have what it takes to make this commitment? If "yes!" I'll see you at one of the classes soon. Don't forget to book!

Can't make a scheduled class? Book a private one... or keep up with your practice with free classes for yoga (all levels) and meditation (beginners) on youtube:

(if you feel would like to pay something for these classes - please see our list of supported charities below)

A big heartfelt thank you to you David for your amazing yoga videos. I so enjoy and appreciate them. I learn something new every time and by watching them repeatedly I am developing a deeper connection with, and understanding of, my breath, heart, body and mind.

Early Bird Studio Advanced Yoga Studio Practice: (Thursdays only) - in our private dedicated yoga studio, 33 Clarence Street, Devonport
(BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL: please book via 'bookings' tab above)
Aims
A yoga practice that is for those wanting to make a commitment towards achieving enhanced health and comfort in the body and mind.
By facilitating this practice I hope to enable you to experience comfort in your body, and through awareness and meditation practices, to experience consciousness in the absence of thought so that you identify less with your mind as representing who you are in essence. This will free you from the demands of the mind so that you are able to relax into the flow and randomness of everything as you calmly fulfill your destiny.

1 hour of flowing stretches with breath awareness, followed by 30 minutes of relaxation, pranayama (breathing practices), and meditation.
With an attitude of acceptance, these sessions will leave you feeling calm and refreshed.
They involve standing, sitting, kneeling and lying on the floor.
There is no pressure to 'keep up' you can choose what parts you want to do or leave out and take your time to get more and more proficient as the weeks go by..
For a maximum of 5 participants
