FEBRUARY TIMETABLE – as above with some new classes

HEALING YOGA CLASS – Saturday 1 February 3.30-5.00pm.   This class takes place on the first Saturday of each month and is by donation.  The posture work in this session is minimal – sometimes restorative, sometimes something to help release and open up in preparation for the breath work and meditation.  In this session we work with Mudras – simple hand gestures, with sound and chants with Emma (Soul Sounds) providing mellow toning, singing and music as a soft background. We use crystals which provide their own special magic in body layouts, grids, or for meditating with.  Sometimes oracle and guidance cards provide the vehicle for helping us tap into our innate wisdom.

Yoga Nidra – Deep Relaxation ends the class allowing the body, mind and soul to heal and restore.

REIKI SHARE GROUP – Saturday 8 February 11.00-1.00pm.  A chance to experience and share energy healing – all welcome.  We meet the second Saturday of each month. Cost: $10

YOGA BASICS – 6 week course.  Commences Wednesday 12 February 9.30-11.00am.  In these classes I’ll go over the fundamentals of yoga – Connect Your Body, Your Yoga, Your Practice.

• Breath and Body Awareness
• Alignment
• Strengthening and activating the core
• Strengthening and protecting the back
• Safe transitions between poses
• Improve strength and flexibility
• How to adapt poses to suit YOUR body
• Breathe, meditate and learn how to relax.

Cost: $110.00.  Please book your space: whisperedsecretsyoga@gmail.com.  This course is also open to those of you with a current concession card, or those paying one of the month/membership options – again please book your space 🙂

STRETCH PLUS – starts Thursday 13 February 6.00-7.00pm.  This class is suitable for all levels with simple stretches to keep you active and feeling good.  Plus…. core and back stabilisation for body balance.
