The Yoga
There will be two Classes a day, except Wednesday and Saturday. The morning session will begin with some breathing exercises and build into a dynamic Vinyasa flow practice. The afternoon session will explore restorative yoga, Pranayama, preparation and tools for developing a meditation practice and elements of yoga philosophy.
Classes combine the alignment of Iyengar yoga with the flow of Ashtanga Vinyasa, emphasising the union of breathe and movement. Pranayama and Meditation techniques are also incorporated. Tara will lead you to flow and let go of your limitations by encouraging the individual to work to ones own “edge” to strengthen and detoxify. The class will be tailored to suit all levels.
