Yoga classes resume on Tuesday 25th November 2025 for four weeks until a three weeks Christmas / New Years holiday.
Halasana is very similar to the shoulderstand pose. In this Asana all muscles from the neck to the heels are stretched.
As you practice, please watch your neck and keep your body symmetrical.
Do not practice halasana if you have any neck problems.
Do not stretch too far and do not hold the posture too long.
is named after Garuda, the mythical eagle, who had the beak and wings of a bird but the body of a man.
Garuda Asana does for the arms and legs what the Spinal Twist does for the spine, twisting and squeezing first one side and then the other, to increase circulation to the limbs.
It is an excellent remedy for varicose veins.
Because the leg that supports your weight is bent, this strengthens your leg muscles.
Squeezing your arms and legs together while maintaining the balance improves circulation and develops an awareness of your extremities, right up to your fingers and toes.
Hold the pose, breathing deeply, then repeat on the other side, changing arms and legs.
| The Camel – Ustrasana. The camel pose, also known as the sitting wheel. This Yoga posture gives you all the benefits of the backward bends. Strengthens the thighs while improving the flexibility of the back. If your knees are sensitive and to protect them from pain, use a blanket or other cushion under your knees. In the beginning reach back with one arm only holding onto your foot, while stretching the other arm up to the sky. Alternatively place your hands on your lower back, leaning back as far as you can. Keep the chin forward, don’t tilt the head back, only the upper body. If this feels good, reach back with both hands to hold onto your feet. |
1. Primordial Sound of the Universe:
2. Threefold Nature (A-U-M):
OM consists of three syllabic sounds:
Together, they reflect the entire cycle of existence: birth, life, and death, and beyond.
3. The Fourth State – Turiya:
OM is the sacred sound that symbolizes the essence of ultimate reality, consciousness, and the universe. It is both a sound and a spiritual concept — powerful, transformative, and timeless.
When we chant the Mantra OM with sound, it’s also helpful as a breathing exercise, opening the lungs and vocal cords. On an energetic level, this stimulates the heart Chakra (anahata chakra). Read my blogpost abou the Chakra ….
I have the dates marked in my calendar, but will always confirm again.
The times are Ipswich/Brisbane time.
If you have a yoga class pass, I will tick it off, once I’m back home in Ipswich, and we know the connection worked well. If you pay for the single, individual class, please pay after the class (not before), I want to be sure this works good for everyone.
If you would like to join one of the above online Hatha Yoga classes, please send me an email to hathayogaipswich@gmail.com to receive login details. Thank you !!
