Yoga at our Milton Yoga Studio has sold out even more quickly this time. Sorry if you missed out. The current theme is ‘STRETCH” and sold out by Friday. If you would like to attend a yoga event, why not join in the Mega-workshop on Saturday 17 April 2010?

Yoga and breathing, meditations, postures, placement, how to use yoga and much more. We have discounted this down from $170 to just $99 10am –3pm. You will have plenty of opportunity to try,  ask questions and really go indepth. This is geared to beginners and those who are more advanced and want to learn more – you will gain a different learning from it.

Our Yoga Studio at Milton has a special offer until Sunday 5 July. If you can get to the Studio before we close, you can have a 1 hour private consultation as part of your flexibility program. This is open to all attendees – but at this late stage – there are only a couple of appointments left!

Amazing flexibility in 3 week program!

This is a comment to Ian Skippen (triple M). Skip was listening to an interview between Sami Lucas and our Director, Susan Wanmer demonstrating some Yoga with Dogs. Over the background noises you could hear Susan’s calm tone asking Mookie to ‘balance’, repeating the word over and over. Skip, confounded by the whole concept of doing yoga with your dog said something like “I think this woman is thinking about her bank balance!” A very funny take on a serious topic within stress management. Why don’t you bring Charlie down for a session?

 Warm regards and ten points for your humour! Susan Wanmer, Director, WorkLifeBalance, Milton.

We only have two spots remaining for the Yoga Bootcamp which starts Monday at 6 am. This time we will be stretching you as well as the usual cardio, strength and fitness focus we give you each time. Call or email I you are interested. Last bootcamp was voted Best Ever.  This one will be better again for benefits to you as a recruit.

 By popular request, we are finally putting on a Yoga Stretch Bootcamp. The previous Bootcamp had a detox focus, and many recruits lost weight, and centimetres particularly around the waist. Our Bootcamps really work to help you achieve your goals, in a unique and Yoga way.

2007 ended magnificently. December ‘digestive’ Bootcamp was reported to be successful.

2008 Yoga ‘Summer’ Bootcamp starts Monday 4 February at 6 am. You are invited to join – 12 sessions plus your registration.  

All Bootcamp details and photos can now be seen on the brand new miltonyogastudio.com.au  website.

WE’D LIKE ONE BEROCA AND A GLASS OF WATER EVERY MORNING OF YOGA BOOTCAMP.
Best wishes Team Sunshine

The Sunshine Team had Mondayitis today–and it was Tuesday! And yet there was a marvellous opportunity for true Yoga today. Perhaps the rush of Christmastime had jarred the recruits and kept them in their more external focus. The most important aspect to take out of today’s training was to take on the mind as an observer. New postures can bring up emotions. In yoga that is seen as valuable as it gives the yogi an opportunity to deal with those emotions in a controlled environment. Common responses are to become frustrated, upset, defensive, or angry. The beauty of Yoga Bootcamp is that you can roll through those reactions, guided by the Yamas and Niyamas.

When your Bootcamp Sergeant suggests you could go further, do differently, lift higher, move the belly button etc, it is to send you inside yourself. Your response to take you mind back in to your nervous system (which in turn controls your muscles) and wonder and ponder “how could this be?, how could this happen? how could this be achieved”. It is a wonder, a ponder, a silent and still questioning…creating a space from which the answer will come. And the answer will come back through the body–not through the intellect. You wonder, “How could I possibly lift higher?”. You wait. Response AHA! Suddenly the muscles find a little more stretch, a little more strength. That, my dear recruits and readers is the true mind-body connection.

Today we mobilised the shoulders as promised. We also worked the famous Yoga Bootcamp “puddle and snatch’ move to work the spine and abs at the same time. Shoulders responded much better than expected. Great roll-up to all week one sessions. Recruits rated the session highly and their participation high. The trainer was pleased. When learning new movements, it works well to leave it to sink in and then review it – so looking forward to next week! Big focus on digesting in preparation for Christmas and New Year.

A change in program for Team Sunshine* Do you want weak arms and tight shoulders? NO! Do you want strong, firm arms and tight shoulders? NO! Do you want strong, firm arms and mobile, injury-free shoulders? YES Sergeant Sunshine!! Yes ma’am!!

Well Sergeant Sunshine learnt something the team hadn’t yet revealed, by feeling your shoulders doing a simple martial arts arm movement. Grinding and crunching and tightly glued like a chook’s drumstick when you try to pull it off politely on Christmas Day.

Yoga Bootcamp: you WILL loosen your shoulders!
:you WILL improve your flexibility!
: you WILL mobilise your neck in doing so!

TOO much TAPAS in the shoulders. Be warned, be ready, shoulder release here we come!

Remember Yoga Squats, and the Knee Bandha we did today as well.
