Optimal Balance Yogo Saturday mornings from April 3rd, 2010. 9.30am until 11am, Dickson Hall (behind St. Margaret's Church), Queen Street. 4 week blobks of lessons can be booked for £26. Drop in lessons are £8. Yoga mats can be reserved. Phone or text Kairin on 07989 189 604, or email yogatayport at hotmail.com.
My optimal balance class is based around the ashtanga primary series. After the first few lessons this becomes a fairly physical and flowing class, beginning with sun salutations, standing asanas (yoga poses), sitting asanas and finally ends with some relaxation. I have inserted extra balance asanas into the standing phase of the class to strengthen both the hips and ankles. My optimal balance yoga class also incorporates a special breathing technique and exercises both the 'core' muscles and pelvic floor. Many people believe that they have to be flexible to follow a yoga class but this is not the case. This class will develop both flexibilty, balance and strength. The dickson hall can take 12 participants only, so mat space must be reserved. Beginners and intermediate participants can both be catered for but please contact me before the start date to let me know which level you are.
Z&R TaeKwon-Do runs a class for children in the mosonic lodge on a Tursday night 6.30pm till 7.30pm. For further information contact:
