Classes

All classes involve and encourage intuitive yoga, drawing on that which you already ‘know’.

Please contact Vicki if you are interested in any of the classes listed.

Private/Couples/’Support Persons’ Life Cycle Classes

In these classes you are involved in designing your own program, one that is tailor made and suits your desires, body and lifestyle. Private/Couples Classes tend to suit some women for various reasons.

Situations where these may suit include:

  • a wish to deepen your yoga experience
  • focusing on a specific area/type of practice, for example, restorative/nurturing asanas, yoga nidra, birth visualisation, moving beyond past traumatic experiences
  • scheduled class times don’t suit you
  • a desire to involve your partner/support persons in the classes - involving your support person/s is a very powerful and beautiful way of deepening your pregnancy and birthing experience, physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally

Horse Lovers Yoga

These classes are designed to improve alignment, balance, flexibility, self-control, stamina and strength physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This promotes a greater connection and enhanced relationship with self, horses and all.

These classes involve asanas (postures), breathing, (pranayama), and yoga nidra and other meditation techniques.

They are held where horses share the space which is mutually beneficial.

These classes are on Monday evenings. They are not limited to those who love horses. They began that way that and have evolved. This class has run continuously since All Around You Yoga Classes began.

Yoga for Carers

These classes are aimed at providing a sacred outlet for carers where they may be able to benefit physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. In this sacred space carers may be free to explore ‘I am’ and simply ‘be’

Prenatal Group Classes

Many women are first attracted to yoga when pregnant - a deep instinctive knowing guides them to yoga. Those who have already experienced yoga may have a renewed awakening to it at this time. Yoga and pregnancy are extremely complimentary. Yoga allows you to connect with your baby, your changing body and other mums. The yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (breath work), meditation, vocalisation and visualisation are specifically designed for pregnant women and cater for those planning natural active birth as well as those who are not. These classes empower women - balancing and strengthening the body, mind and spirit in preparation for birthing and parenting.

Classes begin with a sharing circle where women are welcome to talk followed by centering and connecting with their babies.

These classes are arranged on an ‘as needed’ basis. Regular group classes have not been needed by many women for quite a while.

Mums & Bubs Group Yoga

These classes are especially designed for women and their babies to attend together. Substitutions are ok if the mother is not the primary carer. An extra adult may accompany twins. These classes are interactive with mothers and their babies involved in yoga postures, movement, breath work, meditation and singing. These classes are aimed at helping the mums physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The focus with postures is on strengthening abdominal, back, limb and pelvic muscles. Emotionally, mentally and spiritually the classes encourage nurturing, bonding with your baby and other women and give you sacred time and space to be. You are encouraged to go with the flow during class - feed/change your baby, focus on you if baby is sleeping.

These classes are arranged on an ‘as needed’ basis. They have not been inquired about for some time. This may be because there are many programs for new partents now.
