Beginning Yoga Workshop

A Holiday Treat

We are very happy to offer this special week long workshop for people who want an introduction to yoga.

Sunday, January 4th – Thursday, January 8th 3:00 – 4:30 PM

Member’s rate of 50 LE per class.
OR buy the “Beginners Pass Card” for 150 LE (this covers all five classes!)

This is our way of saying Happy Holidays!

Each class will be a complete practice starting with a guided meditation to quiet the mind. We will then move through a gentle flow series and end with a final relaxation.

There will be an asana of the day that is explored in depth. You will learn what muscles are being targeted in each pose, ways which you should approach the posture and ways to modify a pose so that it suits your body’s strength, flexibility and well-being.

There will be a strong emphasis on “owning your practice.” You will learn how to meet your body where it is each day, to begin eliminating judgment and competition from your practice and to honor your daily accomplishments.

To pay for classes simply arrive at the studio 5 – 10 minutes prior to the class. There are yoga mats available for use. Please wear comfortable clothes that do not restrict movement, and consider bringing a towel to aid in modifications. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. 010 629 2684.

Blessing for a beautiful New Year,

Tips for practicing at home

The holidays are a wonderful time, eating, drinking, and being merry. They can, however, cause our yoga practice to suffer. If you are going to be out of town or just plain too busy to come to class, here are some tips for keeping your practice strong...



Sun Salutes: They will warm up your body and get the blood flowing, even if this is all that you do for the day, you will benefit.

Stretching: Try to stretch your back in all four directions; twisting left and right, bending forward and backward. Even if you can't remember specific postures, this will keep your spine supple and allow you to ease back into your practice after the maddness has died down!

Take rest: Even if you only do a 15 or 20 minute practice, take a few minutes in savasana (rest pose)

Remember: It's best to practice on an empty stomach, 3 or 4 hours after eating a meal, 1 to 3 hours after a snack

Breathe in and out through your nose

Please email with any questions!

Yoga Joy!
