Exactly 17 years ago today, on the Tuesday 31st of October 2006 at 6pm, I was teaching the first Yoga class here in Ipswich. It was the 6pm class on a Tuesday at the Scout Hall in Cameron Park, Booval. This specific class, day, time & location is still running today. Sometimes with 1 or 2 yogis joining the class, other times a full hall, and of course since three years always someone joining the class online via Zoom as well.
Of course there are and have been other yoga classes as well, at different locations, days & times. Always a continuous stream.
Thank you to each and everyone who ever chanted OM with me while joining a class. Thank you for your continues support and loyalty. Thanks & Blessings with all my heart, Maria Prema. OM OM OM
