20 years Hatha Yoga Ipswich

October 8, 2026premaria

Back in 2006 on Tuesday evening 31st of October at 6pm I was teaching my first Yoga class here in Ipswich, at the Scout Hall in Cameron Park. Yes, this class is still going, same time, same place. Many of you have come and gone and returned over the past years. I’ve introduced other classes, times and locations. One of the biggest changes has probably been that now we have Yogis joining the class on Zoom from the comfort of their homes.

To celebrate this occasion I’m teaching a Yoga class on Saturday 31st October 2026 at the Scout Hall in Cameron Park, Easton Street, Booval. You can arrive from 9am onwards, the class itself will be from 9:30am – 11am.

The Yoga class will be a mix of the classical Hatha Yoga and Seniors / chair Yoga class, including breathing practices. Therefore I please ask you to book for this class. So I can prepare better, and know how many of you to expect. Please let me know in class next time I see you, or send me a text 0423 477 725 to book your spot. Or if you would like to join on Zoom. Usual cost per class. Thank you !!

Back in those days I used to place my flyers all over Ipswich at the different notice boards in cafes, shops, etc. Since then I share mainly Facebook posts, blogposts on the website and newsletter. The phone number is the same, email and website are outdated.

YOGA Classes July & August 2026

June 29, 2026premaria

During the Winter months our Yoga classes continue. We warm up with the Yoga postures and exercises. It’s good to keep the circulation and metabolism going, plus it warms our heart to be in good company.

Please bring a jumper, socks, and even a blanket to keep warm during the relaxation.

Creative Meditation

October 23, 2025October 23, 2025premaria

Hi There,

This is a spontanous subject and idea for our Meditation class tomorrow Friday 24 October at 5pm. (please contact me for location details).

We have a big rosemary bush growing in the herb – garden. I’m inspired to talk about the benefits of rosemary and herbs in general “how can we use herbs to improve our state of mind and general well being, can it bring calmness?” To be creative and “drop the head into the heart”, will be making smudge sticks. Be inspired and surprised by this different approach to meditation. I look forward to share some herbalims as well. Maria

the eagle pose

September 29, 2025premaria

The Eagle Pose

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.

Online Yoga while travelling

While Im travelling I offer some Yoga classes online on Zoom.

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.
