North Canterbury Yoga Classes
Health - Fitness - Enlightenment
 Public
yoga classes involve a combination of physical exercise, deep breathing, concentration
and relaxation exercises that generally leave students with a greater sense of
wellbeing, including better sleep, improved health and vitality.
Hatha Yoga Class - Kaiapoi
A gentle to firm workout with a relaxation at the end.
This class is suitable for beginners of any level of health and fitness but can
also challenge experienced practitioners with explanation, demonstrations and
guided practice, sometimes working with partners and group exercises.
This is a very gentle approach to performing asana with the detail and precision
of Iyengar yoga.
The class begins with a few minutes deep breathing followed by a warm up before
continuing onto classical yoga postures and concludes with a warm down and
relaxation.
Students should bring a yoga mat and a blanket or 2 blankets if they don't have
a yoga mat.

Yoga exercise has developed over the past 6500 years and
has been refined in light of medical knowledge so that today, yoga
exercises can be safely practiced for optimal results.
 Yoga is renowned for helping tone musculature, align the skeleton, improve
fitness & flexibility, calm the mind, cure disease and today it is most popular
for maintaining fitness and relaxation with yoga schools and retreat centres
world wide. The principals of yoga when applied to life teach success and create
stronger communities.
Yoga is easy to describe in
simple terms, i.e. "yoga means unity" but much harder to
understand as there are many conflicting opinions as to what
"unity" actually means. Unity is an absence of separation,
therefore yoga works to unify the individual self and the community,
(local, national and global).
Other Classes
 There are yoga classes
in most towns and neighbourhoods, some the focus is on the physical
exercises which condition the body, others are more meditative and every
teacher has a unique style or approach.
Personal training and seminars are available for your group
by appointment.
Yoga is a popular exercise system for body and mind. Basic
yoga exercise helps to maintain health, fitness and balance. It can also be
course in self study, studying our human nature and world. The common meaning of
the word yoga most often means 'performing yoga exercise', but by definition,
the word yoga means 'the ultimate unity or enlightenment' synonymous with
that of Buddha's and saints. Hatha yoga classes are found in most world
cities and yoga is excellent tool for team building exercises. Discipline is
required to keep up a home practise and a strong desire for truth is essential
for the serious student and seeker.
