Yoga
The practice of yoga is an art and science dedicated to creating union between body, mind and spirit. Its objective is to assist the practitioner in using the breath and body to foster an awareness of ourselves as individualised beings intimately connected to the unified whole of creation. In short it is about making balance and creating equanimity so as to live in peace, good health and harmony with ourselves and the greater whole.

Expect to be made to feel welcome and at ease from your very first class! Here you will learn about your body and how to respect and yet challenge yourself. You will experience the centering and harmonising effect of the asanas (postures) on your body and emotions when practised mindfully with your breath. You will learn to focus your mind, yet release tension. What sets Yoga Bliss apart is that you will also be exposed to the great teachings of the Yoga Sutras which I am very passionate about – threaded through our sessions to give you an invaluable set of life skills to navigate life’s ups and downs.
I respect that we are all different and encourage you to work at your own level.
Expect variety, as each week a new aspect of yoga is explored. Classes are generally an hour and a half in duration, which include time to relax, warm up, move through a variety of asanas (postures), basic pranayama (breathing techniques), visualisation and meditation. We use mats, belts, blocks and blankets at various times and all equipment is supplied for you.
The classes are suitable for beginners and you will receive a solid foundation for your practice and I hold beginner’s classes to learn the very basics of yoga. You can attend on a casual basis or at a reduced rate through the purchase of a 5 or 10 lesson card.
Keeping in mind the ancient wisdom that has been passed on for thousands of years, that our true essence, our very deepest nature is happiness or Bliss (Ananda)
