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..
