This workshop explores finding balance amidst the many changes women experience in their life.

We will explore both strengthening and restorative yoga poses that are nourishing for women in a way that supports you in daily life including:

– Breast health through opening the shoulders and armpit chest
– Learning how to build good leg work to support the hips and back through standing twists.
– Learning to be-friend inversions and using different ways to use props for optimal support.

Nicole Hills has been practicing yoga for over twenty years and teaching Iyengar Yoga for sixteen. She has worked with many women over this time specifically exploring how to restore and adapt after pregnancy; working with menstruation issues including irregular, heavy and painful cycles and endometriosos; and working through the stages of menopause. Nicole has completed the Intensive Iyengar yoga certification, which indicates high standards of teacher excellence in the Iyengar yoga method. She undergoes regular professional development with senior teaches locally and overseas, and regularly runs women’s intensives.

Professional Development with James Bahuth

The professional development sessions are ideal for already certified teachers and those preparing to present for assessment. There are four sessions in total, a Friday and Saturday in both March and April, and another 2 later in the year. Each session is delivered in a progressive format so attendance to all four sessions helps build on the knowledge and insight gained from one to the next.

These sessions incorporate theory, dissecting practice with specific poses chosen for each session, and offer the chance to work on teaching skills with mock teaching scenarios.

It’s helpful to watch the shift in both practice and teaching from one session to the next.

All training modules count as hours towards maintaining assessment and teaching criteria within the guidelines set out with the Australian BKS Iyengar Yoga Association.

Friday 1st March, 3 – 6.30pm and Saturday 2nd March, 12.30 – 4pm

New Women’s class – Thursdays with Anat Cossen

“When this body has been so magnificently and artistically created by God, it is only fitting that we should maintain it in good health and harmony by the most excellent and artistic science of Yoga.” Geeta Iyengar

Women experience change during the monthly cycle, teenage years, pregnancy and menopause. The practice of yoga supports the female body and mind during the various stages in her life. It balances flexibility with strength, dynamic energy with quiet mind and promotes attentiveness and tenderness.

In this Women’s dedicated session and with the skill of Anat’s 18 years practice, you will experience energetic support and alignment unique to the Iyengar yoga method.

Therapy

Something unique has been building over the years with the weekly Therapy class at Yogaha. At any one time there are 4 – 5 experienced teachers and 3 – 4 trainees assisting.

As a collective teaching body our emphasis is on taking extra care and working with individual needs through specific sequences and the use of props. The use of yoga props in therapy is an art one can learn, however the insight and healing process is a universal language that requires no special process…you simply need to remain open and present. In some cases individual care is given. Yoga therapy works on many levels and can reduce the symptoms of many physical injuries or medical conditions.

Fridays 11.45-1.15pm
