Kathy found yoga in her early twenties when she was teaching ballet. Her first yoga class blew her mind, but it was only after children and a few career changes, she finally fully embraced her love of the practice in earnest. Her practice led her to Shri Yoga where she completed her 200hr teacher training in 2017 with Julie Smerdon, learning the principles and philosophy of Anusara yoga. Kathy and her partner moved to Dalveen in December 2020 as part of a tree change. She is enjoying her animals on the farm and the sense of community her new life offers, including how welcoming and friendly everyone is at Yoga Tree Stanthorpe.
Description
This class builds strength and steadiness through a progressive sequence of poses. The class leads to a peak pose or action within a pose so that students can increase their range of motion over time and develop good movement patterns both in and out of the yoga room. The emphasis is on finding proper alignment in the pose and using the breath to cultivate courage and mindfulness. By balancing the flow of energy in the body, and becoming aware of how various parts of ourselves are integrated and interconnected in our yoga practice, we can experience both stability, freedom, and a greater sense of fulfilment both on the mat and in our everyday lives.
