One On One Meditation
$20/ 30 mins
Meditation is a way of coming home to our true selves, quietening our busy minds and connecting in with a peace that we often search for outside of ourselves. When we are present we are not thinking about the past or worrying about the future and we become more accepting of what is happening in each moment.
This is for anyone who is interested in learning about meditation but isn’t sure how to start, or who has questions or would just like to talk about it.

Iyengar Yoga
BEGINNERS WECOME-ALL AGES
The Iyengar Yoga method is renowned for its focus on precision, timing and use of props. Created and developed over 75 years by Yogacharya BKS Iyengar, the Iyengar method is firmly based on the traditional eight limbs of yoga taught by Patanjali over 2,500 years ago.
Iyengar Yoga will help you to achieve mental, physical and spiritual stability and strength. BKS Iyengar created props, such as bolsters, benches, bricks, straps and sand bags, to help students experience the full benefits of asana and pranayama.
In an Iyengar Yoga class, you can expect detailed instructions from the teacher, who will often demonstrate poses to help students deepen their understanding of the postures and develop an overall awareness of body and self. You will also be encouraged to work at your own capacity, and deal with injuries or conditions you may be working with.
