Yoga Workout

Looking for a more physically challenging yoga class? We've had a few requests to make our classes more challenging. Whilst we would love to have all our classes accommodate everyone, we recognise people have different needs and goals. So we're keeping our Tuesday and Thursday night classes focused on the integration of gentle movements with the breath, working with the mind, releasing emotions and melting stresses away. 

That said, we're looking at starting up a class on Monday nights 6:30–7:30 pm, that's a little more physically challenging, yet still ends with our popular guided relaxation.

If this is something you're interested in, please click the button below to let us know and we will let you know if the class is going ahead.
Mid-Winter Christmas Offer

Private Yoga Sessions 
Big discount at only $50 per hour (usually $70) 

Our private yoga sessions offer you the opportunity to deepen your practice with expert guidance. These sessions are great to refine your practice, learn to work around limitations and injuries, improve your technique, or just ensure you get the absolute most from your time on the mat.

We will complete a full postural and mobility assessment and discuss your goals during your first private yoga session.
Give Yourself the Gift of Relaxation
 
The Shakti Mat is a therapeutic tool that uses the benefits of acupressure to bring about a feeling of deep relaxation. 

Ever wondered why the Indian Yogis have been lying on beds of nails? They use them to meditate on for the relaxing effects the acupressure treatment gives them. 

The Shakti Mat is an acupressure mat that is designed for prevention, reduction or complete elimination of stress, sleep problems and back pain, by encouraging circulation, muscle recovery and relaxation. 

Order Yours Now:
We have three left in stock and they can be ordered and collected from our private clinic in Birkdale.

The cost is $69.00 each and they come with their own 'Happiness in a Bag' carry bag.

Feel free to pop in and try one out for yourself before purchasing. Or try one out after your next yoga class.

Your Shakti mat comes with a 30-day money back guarantee.
