This week marks the last week of classes together before we have a break and it’s been another wonderful year getting to know you better and sharing yoga together. This year we have had new people join our group, others who have returned and those who have been coming for years, (some close to 15 years!) Others have left the group for various reasons, from health, moving location, etc. To each one of you, regardless of how often you attended classes I thank you sincerely.
I feel honoured that some have trusted and shared very personal details of your life, due to challenges that life can present. I know many have told me that coming to classes becomes a respite from your daily struggles. I am inspired by your commitment, humility and grace.
It is true that I am the ‘teacher’, but I too am the student. I believe I continue to learn just as much from you. I teach because yoga has made a difference in my life. I’m not perfect, I’m human and can go through the full range of emotions. But yoga has helped me see more clearly that although I can’t change the world, I can try at least to look at my response. It has helped me be more empathetic to others, to try to listen, to try to understand the other position, to pause and take a breath rather than react.
Life can be difficult and for some it’s harder than others. But we must be mindful of not blaming others for our pain and sorrows. When we look closely, we will find that others, even those with opposing views also have pain. Polarization is a result of pain, when we blame others for our difficulties and struggles. So, when you have pain, sit with it, get to understand it. Meditate on the other point of views, meditate on love and kindness. As I said, I’m not perfect, I don’t always get this right, but I am a lifelong student of yoga, and this is why I teach, because these things matter to me. Now more than ever, we need more empathy, kindness and understanding.
During this festive season, I encourage you to continue practicing yoga in your heart and in your mind. Be the light, show kindness, listen and try to understand. It’s not always easy, but we can’t change the world, we can only look within.
Again, my heartfelt thanks for your trust in me, for attending classes whether it was one or you have been coming for 15 years. I owe you a great deal of gratitude. Stay well and be safe over the break. Blessings for a happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
Classes will resume Monday 19th Jan.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Our yoga studio in Mordialloc is where you can step away from busy life and meet your authentic self on the mat. Here you can leave your cares behind and move the body mindfully with hatha yoga, in a breath-based yoga practice. Students come to our classes from across the bayside area as far as Bonbeach to Aspendale, including Parkdale, Mentone, Keysborough, and Cheltenham suburbs.
At our Mordialloc yoga studio, you will be taught ancient classical yoga in the tradition of Sri T. Krishnamacharya, considered to be the Father of modern yoga. The practice is centered on the breath, and postures are not something to achieve; rather they are something to experience. Postures, (known as Asana-s), can be adapted and modified to the individual, rather than expecting the individual to adapt and force themselves into a posture. You will be encouraged to work at a level that is appropriate for you. Therefore, anyone can do yoga and gain the benefits, whether that be in the form of group classes or private one on one.
Your yoga teacher who lives locally near Mordialloc has over 22 years of experience and will guide you safely through the postures. She believes classical yoga is a way to enhance the quality of life for all participants by developing mind body awareness. Practice is the key.
Our yoga classes in Mordialloc are friendly, inclusive, and welcoming. From time to time, we have social gatherings where students can connect and enjoy the company and friendship of others over a meal in one of the bayside suburbs. Everyone is welcome from beginners to experienced. We look forward to welcoming you.
