Ashtanga Primary Series
Non-Heated | All Levels | Activity Level 2/3
Primary Series build strength and flexibility in the body, loosening tight muscles and realigning and detoxifying the body and nervous system. The series begins with forward bends, then twists and hip openers with a vinyasa between each asana.
On a mental level, through regular practice focus, willpower, mind-body awareness and confidence are improved as we overcome the mental obstacles to our practice. On a subtle level the Primary series works therapeutically to clear obstacles in the energy channels in the body (known as Nadis).
This clearing of obstacles allows the Prana to flow more freely so the body and mind are therefore allowed to work more effectively.
All are welcome - modifications are offered

This all level yoga class is a blend of synergy between Ayurveda and Yoga, the sister sciences. The shift in seasons can cause imbalance in our dosha. The structure of the class will change based on the season to pacify the dosha. We will be doing Asana (posture), Pranayama (control of breath), Dhyana (meditation), Yoga Nidra (relaxation) and Mantra (sacred sounds). I am happy and excited to share this practice to bring healing to mind, body and soul.

Rocket Yoga

We are very excited to have Guest Teacher, Beth George, visits us from London to share Rocket Vinyasa with us!!
Rocket Vinyasa | August 14th | 9-10:30am | $35 | $31.50GM
Activity level 2/3 - Non heated
Created by Larry Shultz in San Francisco, ‘The Rocket’ is a series of postures based on a modification of Ashtanga Yoga Primary & Intermediate series. Viewed as a rebellious revision to traditional Ashtanga, the inception and influence of Rocket Yoga became one of the key roots of modern day ‘Power Yoga’.
There are 3 original series (Rocket 1, 2 & 3), each sequence a dynamic, invigorating & rhythmic vinyasa routine led by Ujjayi breath. Sequencing includes Sun Salutations, a string of Standing Postures (including optional transitions, inversions and arm balances) followed by the familiarity of Ashtanga Seated Postures… but with room for breaking the rules!
Rocket honours its Ashtanga roots but revises the traditional series by destroying the ‘hierarchy’ of postures. It welcomes pose modification and variations enabling students to gain the advantages of practicing the ‘advanced’ postures whilst respecting their bodies present ability and working within their limits. Most importantly Rocket designed to be inclusive, an uplifting, playful practice that energises and empowers the students

A little bit about Beth George
Initially Beth utilised yoga as respite from the rush of a corporate career in the City of London. Her commitment to the yoga practice profoundly and positively altered her relationship with her mind, body and Self. The evident improvement in Beth’s mental health and wellbeing, achieved through implementing the practice, were impossible to ignore and a catalyst that led her to change career paths entirely. Beth teaches in the hope of sharing the transformational benefits she has experienced with others.
To date, Beth has close to 600 hours of certified training in various styles including Vinyasa, Rocket and Tripsichore. For Beth, being curious and open to explore, examine and receive a range of ideas, perspective, methodologies and styles is both inspirational and key to discovering her own truth and helping students explore theirs.
Beth teaches an uplifting, dynamic and energising class, a welcoming environment that supports exploration, progression and self expression in the practice. Acknowledging how challenging navigating this life can sometimes be, Beth hopes to provide practitioners with tools to support, centre and balance themselves through life’s ups and downs.

Flip your perspective, explore the upside down.
August 20th | 10:30am - 12:30am | $35 | $31.50 GM
This skills based workshop is suitable for anyone who is looking to begin or deepen their handstand practice. Whether you’re a handstand novice and just starting out or an intermediate student looking to refine and progress the skill, this workshop will provide you with the tools and direction to prepare your body for handstands and confidently and independently continue your hand balance journey.
Akin to Yoga Asana, the handstand practice acts to focus the mind, a form of concentration, discipline and play that teaches us to be fully present. The importance of breath and an awareness of the body is crucial to entering and maintaining the handstand shape and therefore a foundational yoga practice is recommended to attend this workshop.
So, what does 2 hours of playtime look like?
•Start with a short asana practice and to prepare your body and mind and shake off any nervous excitement
•Understand the mechanics of hand balancing and the practical anatomy of the pose (hands, wrists, shoulders, core & hips)
•Find out how to safely bail out/exit of the pose with control and purpose
•Work on strength and flexibility conditioning exercises to build a solid and stable foundation, enhancing progression and efficiency in the inversion
•Break down the various movements and analyse the pose through specific skills & drills to teach the body how to move in space and build crucial muscle memory
•Learn how to incorporate the use of props and support (walls & partner work) to find your alignment and train the body to work safely in open spaces
•Play with different variations and entries, straight line handstand and other fun shapes
