Every yoga posture has a purpose. Once you understand why you're practising it, your whole approach to yoga begins to change. Throughout this workshop we'll explore the foundations of authentic yoga and discover not only how yoga works, but why.

​

Most people are taught how to do a yoga posture. Very few people are ever taught why they are doing it.

​

This 2½-hour Private Yoga Workshop has been created for anyone wanting to understand the foundations of traditional yoga. Whether you're completely new to yoga or have been practising for years, this workshop will change the way you look at every posture and every class you attend.

​

Together we'll explore the fundamental principles of authentic yoga, including breathing, energy movement, relaxation and the classic yoga postures. Rather than simply copying shapes, you'll begin to understand what each posture is trying to achieve and how yoga works from the inside out.

​

You'll discover how the muscles, internal organs, endocrine glands and nervous system all work together during a yoga practice. As we explore each posture, you'll gain a practical understanding of why it is practised, what parts of the body it influences and how a balanced yoga practice can support both your physical and emotional wellbeing.

​

One of the greatest benefits of understanding these foundations is that your knowledge won't be limited to Gay Men's Yoga. Whether you attend classes in Melbourne, travel interstate or practise anywhere else in the world, you'll understand what you're doing and why you're doing it. That understanding stays with you for life.

​

Yoga isn't simply about becoming more flexible. It's about understanding your body, learning how it works and discovering how to work with it rather than against it. Once you understand the purpose behind each posture, your whole approach to yoga begins to change.

​

The workshop finishes with a deeply rejuvenating guided relaxation, allowing both the body and mind time to absorb everything you've explored during the afternoon. You'll leave feeling deeply relaxed, with a clearer understanding of yoga and the confidence to continue your practice with purpose.

​

Whether you continue with Gay Men's Yoga or attend classes anywhere else in the world, this workshop will give you the foundations to practise with greater understanding, confidence and awareness for years to come.
