17 years Hatha Yoga Ipswich

17 years Hatha Yoga Ipswich

premaria

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

    Practice of the week: tree pose (balance on one leg)

    Practice of the week: tree pose (balance on one leg)

    the Tree pose – Vrikshasana 

    Maria, tree pose, February 2020
    The balancing postures on one leg are mentally highly demanding. These postures develop, to the highest degree, the powers of mental concentration and single-mindedness of thought, as well as physical balance. 
    Practising this asana brings a wonderful feeling of inner peace and concentration. Poised on one leg with the other foot as high up as half lotus, or at ankle or knee height. The hands pressed together in prayer position, in front of the chest or stretched up above the head.
    It also improves the muscle strength in the standing leg, keeping the back and spine straight. Therefore always practice on both sides, even though usually one side is easier than the other.
