Autum Equinox

A TIME TO BALANCE DARKNESS & LIGHT


Celebrate the transition of equal day and night when you can harvest your successes, clear the space and come to ground in balance and bliss ...
In the beautiful cosy space of Yoga To Go Studio you have an opportunity to experience deep relaxation and release of long held tension preparing you for a period of reflection and restoration before setting clear intentions for the way ahead. 

 

Feel your connection to the Earth, to the changing season, the slower pace, the deep inner peace through immersion in the sonic vibrations of artisan crafted gongs, bronze and crystal singing bowls, planetary tuned gongs, chimes and temple bells, therapeutic percussion and mantra meditation.

 

Being immersed in an ocean of sound allows healing to occur at a deep level.


The sonic vibrations of these ancient instruments of sound work on a physical and energetic level, helping to clear negativity and old habits, leaving you open for new ideas to emerge with the pure tones of quartz crystal. Breath and gentle movement help you open to the healing effects of the sound, supporting you in your journey through subtle yet specific therapeutic sequences delivered with intuition and inspiration. The perfect gentle way to clear obstacles, dissolve limitations and lovingly re-calibrate your whole being, before moving forwards together.

 

The benefits of sound have been well researched and documented in recent years as this modality gains popularity, even though sound has been used as a tool for healing since ancient times.


Sound healing promotes the restorative functioning of the parasympathetic nervous system - Rest & Digest - so you are welcome to have a light lunch before attending.


A sound healing experience has the ability to take you to a place of deep relaxation through an altered state of consciousness beyond the thinking mind - moving from active Beta states to Alpha, Theta, even Delta brainwaves. The deep states of relaxation attained by the application of sound in a therapeutic manner have been found to affect bio-chemistry and facilitate transformation by reducing the effects of stress, allowing the body to release tension and reach its own state of balance with an increased sense of peace and well-being.

 

This is a chance to give your body, mind and emotions a deeply restorative experience in a safe environment.


There is PLENTY OF SPACE at Yoga To Go to keep the Physical Distancing requirement but numbers are still limited.


Spending time in a beautiful cosy studio setting with friendly smiling faces is enough to boost anyone’s immune system!


Followed by a deep relaxation sound immersion and meditation to re-calibrate your nervous system and bring balance to your inner world.

 

Participant numbers are limited so PLEASE PLEASE book early if you would like one of those places. Earlybird price is offered until 28 February 2021.

 

And remember to bring whatever you need to be really comfortable : mat, blankets, cushions, cotton beach towel, shawl, sleeping bag, quilt, an eye pillow or light scarf to cover your eyes and water to drink.

 

There are a limited number of places available for this IN PERSON event
so please book early to give yourself this special gift of transformation.

Regular : $45 from 1 March

Christmas shopping can be stressful, so to save you the headaches and shopping centre crowds, we’ve put together our top 5 gift ideas for the yogis in your life – whether they’re a newbie or experienced practitioner!

 

1.      GIFT VOUCHERS - are the perfect way to give a flexible gift, that allows the receiver to choose what products or services they get. Yoga To Go Studio gift vouchers are valid for 3 years and can be purchase for a dollar value or to attend specific courses, classes and workshops.

 

Here’s a quick price guide to give you an idea of what value to buy:

o   Casual class – $24 in studio/ $20 online

o   6-week Beginners course - $125 in studio only

o   10 class pass - $220 in studio/ $160 online

o   Sarah’s 3-day Christmas and NY workshops - $120 each in studio only

o   Seniors online yoga (60+) - $15 casual/ $110 for a 10-class pass

 

Gift Voucher_copy

 

2.      YOGA PROPS: are great for any yogi who is using furniture and books from around the house to support their yoga practice. They’re also handy to have when travelling or if you simply get the urge for a little self-practice – hello Setu Bandha Sarvangasana on a block!

 

With student numbers in studios and gyms still restricted, we know that getting to a class is not always easy or possible and that’s why we have continued our online classes and have a range of yoga props available for purchase and pick up from the studio, including:

 

o   Mats - $30

o   Belts - $15

o   Blocks - $18 each or two for $30

 

Simply email info@yogatogo.com.au or call 02 9569 0870 to check product availability and place an order.

 

Props

 

3.      YOGA BOOKS – are full of useful information, instructions and inspiration, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced yogi there are a range of great books available from booksellers and our favourite online yoga store – iYogaprops.

 

Here’s 3 of the most popular books written by BKS Iyengar:

o   Light on Yoga - is the fullest and most practical yoga book on the subject of yoga, featuring detailed images and explaining in detail how to perform more than 200 yoga postures. It also introduces pranayama, bandhas and kriyas, and has a good introductory discussion on yoga - $27.50

 

o   Tree of Yoga - includes a collection of essays that covers a wide range of topics: from food and health to life and death, from the nature of yoga practice to guidelines for teachers - $36.50

 

o   Light on Life – talks about how we can transform ourselves by bringing yogic principles into all aspects of daily living and explores the yogic goal to integrate the body, emotions, mind and soul; the role that postures and breathing play in our search for wholeness; and how yoga can help us to live in harmony with the world - $32.50

 

4.      INCENSE AND CANDLES -  help set the mood and make your home smell just like a day spa or yoga studio. At YTGS we regularly  burn a stick of incense to help clear the room’s energy before and after class. The gentle scent has a calming effect on the mind and body, which helps you slow down and relax.

 

Most health food stores and gift shops stock scented candles and incense, ranging in quality and price from very cheap ($2) to expensive ($60+). Here’s 3 types of incense and what they’re good for:

 

o   Sage - is said to have antibacterial properties that helps purify the air from bacteria and bad energy.

o   Nag Champa – is a blend of florals and Sandalwood that aids focus and meditation.

o   Lavendar - gentle and soothing, this floral incense is great before bed and often used for healing and recovery.

5.      PUNE SHORTS - may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but those who love them insist that once you wear Pune-shorts, you’ll never go back!

 

Pune shorts or bloomers were originally worn by Indian women when practicing yoga, to allow complete freedom of movement while still ensuring their modesty. According to one story it was Ramamani Iyengar – the wife of BKS Iyengar who invented them…

 

They come in lots of colours and patterns, and make a fun stocking stuffer! Check out Etsy for lots of Pune pants options.

Pune Pant

Caring for your health and wellbeing has never been more important, particularly after such an emotionally and mentally challenging year - and yoga is the perfect tool to help manage and navigate all of life’s ups and downs….

 

Give the gift of wellbeing, balance and transformation with YTGS this Christmas!

Yoga Philosophy with Prashant

Yoga is far more than a physical exercise! While there is often a focus on the asanas or poses in modern day classes, they are merely the means, with the body and breath as the instruments, that allow us to reach the ultimate goal of yoga – balance, freedom and enlightenment!

 

The word yoga first appeared in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and was chiefly concerned with purifying the body and mind and achieving enlightenment. In this ancient text, asanas or poses are defined as a steady and comfortable position – to sit for extended periods in meditation. It was Hatha yoga, a branch of yoga that literally means ‘force’ that introduced the physical practice of poses or postures to the world.

 

According the introduction in Light on Yoga, “The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj meaning to bind, join, attach and yoke, to concentrate one’s attention… It also means union or communion.”

 

Yoga, is therefore, the yoking or joining of the body, mind and soul…

 

Prashant Iyengar, who turned 71 this year - is the son of BKS Iyengar. He is the director of Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Puna, India and an authority on Yoga.

 

His has an extensive knowledge about the yoga scriptures and the ancient texts and is known for his philosophical and metaphysical approach to classes. Prashant has been offering some wonderful education lessons online throughout COVID_19.

 

There are 25 sessions available on Youtube ranging in length from 20 minutes to one hour, and covering the philosophy or yoga in detail. Some lessons also include a practical component where you’ll be instructed to perform certain asanas and there are some interesting Q&A sessions too.

 

We have pulled together the full list of lessons for you below to enjoy:

Some of us have even been able to attend classes and workshops with teachers in other states and countries, including Abhijata Iyengar, the grand-daughter of BKS Iyengar – directly from her home in India!

 

Nothing beats a studio class with a real teacher, but there are many benefits of doing yoga online!

 

  • Connection – feelings of loneliness and isolation can be eased by logging into a live class with your teacher and fellow students!
  • Convenience - you can attend classes at any time, without having to drive or finding parking.
  • Choice - you’re no longer restricted to studios that are close to your home or work, you can now attend classes with teachers from anywhere in your city, country or even the world.
  • Comfort - in your personal space and home, you can relax and enjoy the practice without worrying about anyone else around you.
  • Complete Privacy - you can choose to turn your video off so that no one can see you!
  • Care for your Health -  stay in your PJ’s and give yourself rest breaks if you’re feeling sick, tired or simply having a bad day.
  • Create a Home Practice – if you’ve struggled to find the motivation for a home practice, online yoga is a great tool to help build a regular routine.

 

There are some limitations and downfalls of online yoga too - including distractions from kids, partners and pets, issues with your technology, sound or internet and of course, personalised adjustments and tips from your teacher is not possible…

 

Our online yoga classes:

While our studio is open again, class numbers are still limited to 10 people, so we have a few online yoga classes available:

  • Tuesday 10:00am – Romina
  • Tuesday 11:30am Yoga for Seniors – Romina

TwistsForget an apple, try a twist a day to keep the doctor away! ???? On these chilly winter days, there’s nothing better to warm up than a few twists (or warm socks and a hot cuppa…) right?! And if you’ve indulged too much in lockdown or doing Dry July they could be just the thing to support a detox!

 

In an Iyengar yoga class, twisting poses are often used to help prepare for other and more challenging poses such as backbends or arm balances. They teach us to rotate the spinal column which increases the flexibility of the back and torso, and help build up and create length in the lateral muscles.

 

There are three categories and many different twisting poses. Some of the more commonly practices ones include:

 

1. Reclining twists – done on your back, laying on the floor.

  • Supta Padangustasana 3 – one leg straight along the floor, the other straight up at hip height and taken over to the opposite side of the body, with both shoulders remaining flat on the floor
  • Jathara Parivartanasana – both knees bent or legs straight, and taken together over to one side at about hip height, also keeping both shoulders down on the floor
     

2. Seated twists – sitting on the floor, a blanket or chair.

  • Marichyasana 1 & 2 – one leg long, the other bent, and turning either away from (open twist – 1) or towards the bent leg (closed - 2)
  • Baradvajasana – both legs are folded to the same side, and you’re turning the chest, shoulders and head away from the legs.
     

3. Standing twists – are variations on popular standing poses.

  • Parivrtta Trikonasana – revolved triangle pose
  • Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana – revolved half-moon pose
     

These are just a few, there are many many more, including the variation

Twist 1you can see in the image on the right >>>

 

The squeezing and turning action of these poses is also known for their heating quality, which can feel irritating in summer but more enjoyable in the colder months. It’s for this reason that they are also often practiced in combination with forward bends, which are naturally cooling and soothing postures – making them a complimentary companion; the cool yin (forward bends) to the hot yang (twists)!

 

Top twisting tip: try not to close, collapse or scrunch the chest and front body as you do your twist. Keep the spine as erect and upright as possible – lifting and lengthening up with the crown of the head - to keep the front, back and sides of the body open and equally long!

 

twist2For many years, twists have also become known for their ability to massage, tone and rejuvenates the organic body or abdominal organs. In his book Light on Life, BKS Iyengar says, “In asana, we are playing with the elements. When we twist, for example, we are squeezing space out of the kidney, and on release, space returns, but space renewed. Similarly, we are squeezing water, fire, and air, as well as to come extent earth, out of the organ when we twist or contract. When we release, circulation comes back, restoring revitalized elements.We think of this as washing and cleansing the organs.”

 

While more studies are needed, and some people question the ability of twists to detox the organs, we suggest you try them for yourself and notice how you feel before, during and afterwards…

 

The main benefits of regularly practicing twisting poses include an

twist3improvement in:

  • spine mobility - and reduced back pain
  • digestion - releases tension in the abdomen
     

Iyengar also claimed that, “In a twist it is not only the organ that is twisted, but the bones, muscle, fibre and nerves. The vessels carrying liquid will also be constricted. The mind will take on a different form corresponding to the unusual shape of the body. The intelligence will touch the body in a different way, and the vibration that the body emits will be altered for example, I am able to feel the vibration of each kidney and to compare the difference between them.”

 

Imagine being able to tune into your body like that? Only one way to get there – practice, practice and more practice!  

 

Please Note: if you are pregnant, menstruating, or experiencing  diarrhea or any stomach issues, it’s best to avoid strong twists and any pose or action that places pressure or tension on the abdomen area. Open twists such as the beginners’ version of Marichyasana (remaining seated upright and not bending forward into the final pose) that allow the belly to remain soft and broad are fine, but poses such as Parivrtta Parsvakonasana (twisted standing side angle pose) should not be practiced during these times.

 

Remember to always seek the guidance of an experienced and certified Iyengar yoga teacher, and let your teacher know of any injuries, surgeries or health conditions. Also speak to your doctor or physiotherapist first before starting any new exercise programs.
