• Breath (CO2) testing

Most practices will be done seated in a chair and some practices will be offered lying down on a yoga mat or even on your bed.

This gentle Dru Yoga class begins with activations to warm up the joints and release stiffness. Flowing Energy Block Release sequences, which can be adapted for the chair, incorporate soft stretches, spinal twists, and upper-body movements to improve flexibility and circulation.

Simple standing postures and sequences are offered with the option to use a chair for support or to assist getting up and down off the mat. Dru Yoga classes bring in flowing, graceful movements that link breath and motion into fluid sequences designed to release tension, enhance energy flow and promote a sense of calm.

The class concludes with a guided deep relaxation or short seated meditation, which can be done seated in a chair if preferred, leaving participants feeling calm, refreshed, and energised.

No prior yoga experience required.

Start your week with calm, clarity and intention with this weekly meditation group. Before the emails, to do lists, meetings and busy-ness begins take 45 minutes for yourself.

Join me for some mindful movement, breath awareness and guided meditation to start your week feeling more grounded and focused. Equanimity isn’t about having a calm life, it is about developing capacity to remain steady when life isn’t calm.

If you are already thinking I have tried meditation and I am not good at it, don’t worry you won’t be sitting still for 45 minutes! We will move the body to prepare to sit in stillness and we will focus on the breath to help settle the mind.

While the best time to meditate is when you have time to meditate, there is benefit to an early morning practice when the mind is quieter yet alert after sleep and there is fewer distractions. It can also help set the tone for the rest of your day and on a Monday morning the rest of your week.

Come as you are, wearing comfortable clothing to move and sit in. Meditation can be practiced seated on the floor, cushion or a chair. No previous meditation experience is needed, just the willingness to come along and practice with others.

Leave feeling calmer and ready for the week ahead.

Your Monday morning can start differently!

Cost: $15 (introductory first session is FREE)

A gentle end-of-year practice to slow down, let go and replenish

The end of the year can be a surprisingly stressful time. There are often more demands, more commitments and more things competing for our attention — just when we may be longing for a little more space to breathe.

Yoga for Rest & Renewal is an opportunity to step out of the busyness and give yourself permission to pause.

Drawing on the gentle, flowing practices of Dru Yoga this nurturing class is designed to calm the nervous system, release physical tension and quieten a busy mind. Through gentle movement, breath, relaxation and meditation, you’ll be guided towards a deeper sense of ease and inner steadiness.

Rather than trying to achieve more, this is a practice of doing less — creating space to rest, restore your energy and reconnect with yourself.

You’ll explore practices that can help you:

* release tension and accumulated stress
* settle an overactive or busy mind
* breathe more deeply and freely
* soften physical tension and fatigue
* cultivate calm and inner balance
* replenish your energy during a busy season
* finish the year feeling more grounded and renewed

No previous yoga experience is needed, and everything can be adapted to suit your body.

Come as you are. Leave the end-of-year busyness at the door and give yourself the gift of rest.

Cost: $22 per class or $180 10 class pass (valid 12 months at all classes)

This back care and wellbeing six week theme offers a gentle, evidenced based approach to address well being issues centred around back pain. Learn yoga practices to help support your back and overall well being including muscle strengthening and myofascial stretching. Sessions also include breath practices and relaxation to support your back and overall wellbeing.

From a yogic perspective, back discomfort may be viewed as more than a physical experience. It can be an invitation to explore:

– What am I carrying physically, emotionally, or mentally?
– Where do I feel unsupported in my life?
– What needs greater balance, strength, or flexibility?
– How can I reconnect with my inner wisdom and sense of peace?

When the Chakras (subtle energy centres) and Koshas (layers of being) are in greater harmony, the spine can be experienced not merely as a physical structure, but as a central channel of vitality, awareness, resilience, and equanimity. Handout included for home practice and access to recorded guided relaxation for the spine.
