Notes from Maggi
As the class sizes are so small it is important to be consistent in attendance. It is unfair to other students to have technical information repeated.
In the week after the course finishes I will run a meditation week. The course in this term while having a balancing effect will also encompass a preparation for sitting practices. Some simple yet profound concentration exercises will be taught in the meditation classes.
If you are going to miss a class please text me on 0403095779, as there is often a student on a wait list who may wish to attend a one off make up class.
As the classes fill quickly be aware that I can easily arrange to teach other classes so just contact me.
All the course will concentrate on developing and correcting the energetic flow through your body and especially your legs. The strong leg work prepares you to stand and move extremely strongly and gracefully. Once the core is strong spinal flexibility and strength can naturally developed. You will be introduced to strong and calming breathing techniques to enhance your physical endurance and improve your vascular integrity.
In all the courses will be introduced to basic flow warm up movements (vinyasa), directional breathing.
Basic hip opening stretches will be introduced as an introduction to sitting practices.
