Improvers Yoga
What to expect
These levels of classes are open to students who have attended beginner’s classes and/or have been told by the teacher that they are ready to move along.
The flows and work of the beginner’s classes continue with even greater emphasis on focus. It is more refined work and builds upper body strength, enhances flexibility and improves stamina.
At GGYC we like inversions so we tend to teach them! Growing Head stands, free standing shoulder stands, one legged balancing poses and the more challenging backbends may be part of the practice and this continues in the intermediate/advanced classes.
Poses are held for a little longer than in beginners and may flow together or be broken down and examined as the curriculum allows. All six week courses have various pranayama (breathing) methods like Ujjayi breath, Viloma (staggered breath) Nadhi Shodana (Alternate nostril breathing) Kapalabhati (Breath of Fire).
Banda awareness is encouraged as well as meditations skills supported by both quiet time and guided means. All welcome.
Intermediate / Advanced Study Teacher Training Yoga
What to expect
The intermediate to advanced student is being challenged by a stronger practice with some students aiming to become comfortable with free standing headstands and shoulder stands and arm balances. Keeping a peaceful mind and a soft face is our journey! We continue to develop awareness of ‘The Edge’ between challenge and unhealthy struggle as our body wisdom grows. We are resting our minds through movement into stillness.
‘Growing the lotus’ is practiced regularly and of course the joy of sitting meditations. We make no pre-requisites of ability and ask for tolerance of the abilities of others and ask students to work to your own level.
We also aid in the awareness and isolation of various muscle groups and deeper twists and back-bends. Philosophy discussion is openly encouraged.New Courses Sept 2019.
Philosophy lectures are available in workshops and Teacher Training Programs. The Sutras of Patanjali are the foundation of the ethos of GGYC with ongoing awareness of the original Samkyha school of spiritual science.
