Balance on one leg – the Tree pose 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. It also improves the muscle strength in the standing leg. Therefore always practice on both sides, even though usually one side is easier than the other.
Start with lifting the foot a little to stand on one leg. As the balance improves bring the leg up higher, all the way to half-lotus.
Another way to practice standing on one leg. Close your eyes and count for how long you can stand on one leg, repeat on the other side.
Repeat, repeat, repeat. …….

I recently attended a wonderful Retreat in Cornwall, UK. It was over the Solstice and full moon weekend, at a magical place in nature. We had the opportunity for a photo session with the talented photographer Shanil https://www.shanillakhlani.com/ and his wonderful assistant and partner Emma. Of course I said YES !!
Here a few photos from that morning. More will appear in my blogposts and newsletters over the next few months.
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

This was my original flyer. I physically posted it at many places and noticeboards around town. The email and website changed since then. Phone number is still the same. Social media, Facebook and Instagram for frequent updates....
Saturday afternoon Hatha Yoga Class and Satsang Meditation
is on 15th July 2023. (2pm – 5pm)
First time that we have this class on a Saturday afternoon, changed from Friday evening in previous months & years.
2pm Hatha Yoga Class (please arrive from 1:30pm onwards) 3:45pm Meditation (mantra chanting, silent meditation, empowering talk)
The cost is $15 or one tick on the class pass.
You can join for both sessions to get most benefits. Or if this is not possible for you, just attend the Hatha Yoga class or the Satsang/Meditation class.
After the Meditation we’ll have a cup of tea and something sweet, I usually make a raw vegan cake or snack. If you have time to stay a little longer & chat.
Please book for these classes by contacting me. Thank You !!
