20 years Hatha Yoga Ipswich

20 years Hatha Yoga Ipswich

premaria

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 The phone number is the same, email and website are outdated.

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.

    the eagle pose

    the eagle pose

    premaria

    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.

    new eye pillows

    I’m in the process of sewing new eye pillows. A whole batch is ready, mainly in the green tones. Other colours to follow in the coming weeks.

    The cost is $18.00 each

    I sew these eye pillows myself, and in general I prefer to do the sewing, handling the fabric, etc. during the cooler months of the year.
