 New Beginners course commencing regularly at Paradise & Tea Tree Gully/. info@spiritofyoga.com.au
 
General class
From the basic principles you are extended to further develop the practices to a more intermediate and advanced level of Yoga.  This includes more classical poses including (PNF), advanced (pranayama) breathing methods, meditation, visualisation and Yoga Philosophy.  All levels of experience can commence in this class, however a beginner's course is recommended prior to attending.
 
Posture and Flexibility
All classes incorporate the PNF system of stretching.  From the original stretch position, the student gently pushes or pulls the muscle(s) in the direction of which the stretch is felt creating a contraction, after several breaths the muscle(s) are consciously relaxed as you stop contracting, then on an out breath you stretch the limb further into a new stretch position which will always be further into the range of movement than before.  It is especially useful for specific conditions that have developed as a result of injury or ongoing muscular problems and has a deeper relaxation effect afterwards and is complementry to the hatha yoga asanas.
 
Reconnective Yoga
Reconnective Yoga is a new practice now being brought into the Yoga class.  Mostly the classes are of a Hatha Yoga Nature joined with Reconnective Healing. During the class you are encouraged to feel and access the energy or frequecies during some of the practises, before and during the class.  While practicing this way the student tends to feel more "connected" and relaxed and is able to hold and go further into the posture, with ease. It is Yoga and self healing combined to create a powerful practice. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Meditation Courses
 
Meditation is becoming well known for its health benefits.  Understanding who you are and accepting your wholeness and greatness is fundamental to your health and wellbeing.  Meditation is possibly the most honest and clear way to acheive this. Our mind comprises of an ego and a soul or inner self.  For most part we are operating from the ego level unable to connect with the wisest part of ourselves, our true nature, that part that knows all we will ever need to know.  We live constantly at the demands of life and those around us.  If we can find our centre and live from there our life opens into unlimited possiblilties. Possiblities of more happiness and peace, a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, we begin to align ourselves to our deep purpose.
Through learning the fundamentals of Meditation and Yoga we can have a place of reference to return to when our life throws itself out of balance, when pain and suffering sets in we have somewhere to go to find the answers.
 
The Meditation courses present various practises to help you to discover and experience the place of the inner self.  The breath plays an important role in finding your inner self, and the course covers various breathing practises that will enliven you as well as create states of tranquility and peace.. Attitudes and behavious are our stumbling blocks at times, once known we can recognise those attitudes that create problems and shift over to attitudes that are helpful to our health and wellbeing. Learning to be more mindful in each and every moment, learning to trust yourself and life. Understanding there is more to our lives than we can sometimes see brings about a life where you are living with excitement and purpose. Bringing more love and happiness into your lives and those around you is your birthright. Each one of us effects the whole, the more we live from our true self we benefit ourselves as well as those we work with, live with and love with, it is healing the whole world.
 
"The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you wlll discover that for you the world is transformed"  Krishnamurti
