Yoga and Qigong (60 mins)
Venue: Eastbourne Library, Boardroom Level 1
Rate: $15/class on a school term basis
Qigong coordinates breathing techniques with slow repetitions of fluid moment to build strength, balance and flexibility. It is a very powerful method to maintain a healthy spine and retain a youthful, healthy body. Popular for over 2,000 years in China, traditionally Qigong was viewed also as a practice to cultivate and balance your inner life energy.
Yin yoga works deeply into your body by holding a series of passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body (hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine). By targeting the deepest tissues of the body rather than just the muscles you achieve a more lean phasic. During classes students are also encouraged to work with Qi and explore a more holistic side to fitness.
Yoga and Fascia (60 mins)
Venue: Eastbourne Library, Boardroom Level 1
Rate: $15/class on a school term basis
Fascia is fibrous connective tissue that wraps and supports muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, organs, nerves – pretty much everything – giving our body form and structure. It has many sensors for movement, position, tension, pressure and pain, making it our largest sensory organ. Fascia therefore plays a major role in our body so it’s important to keep it healthy through fascia-focused exercises. In class we combine the flowing movement of gentle yoga, the static hold of postures, and the use of equipment like foam rollers, to target fascia and achieve myofascial release.
Yoga Flow (60 mins)
Venue: Eastbourne Library, Boardroom Level 1
Rate: $15/class on a school term basis
This is a dynamic, full body yoga class. We take you through mindful movement to support mobility by creating strong and flexible joints. Through both seated and standing postures we also build strength, increase flexibility and help you to relieve tension.
Stretch (45 mins)
Venue: Eastbourne Library, Boardroom Level 1
Rate: $13/class on a school term basis
Stretching at any age keeps your muscles flexible, strong and healthy. We need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight, making physical tasks more difficult.
