Come and join the incredible Annie Crosby in exploring the foundations of Crow (Bakasana) - a core arm balance that brings together strength, mobility, coordination, and exploration of your individual anatomy in relation to the shape.

Across two 90 minute workshops, Annie will run you through a progressive vinyasa practice to warm and prepare the body, before breaking down the key shapes, actions, and anatomical principles that support your progression towards Crow.

Rather than simply learning how to “do” the pose, this workshop is an opportunity to understand what makes Crow work, and how to build the strength, awareness, and confidence to approach it with greater intention.

$35 non-members, included in Monthly Membership & can be used as part of your class packs.

〰️Part 1: Foundations
Saturday, October 24, 12-1:30pm
We’ll explore the key shapes and physical actions that create the foundation for Crow, including:
- A progressive vinyasa sequence to prepare the body
- Wrist, shoulder and core activation
- Key shapes that support the arm balance, with a focus on chaturanga
- Weight shifting and finding your centre of gravity
- Techniques and drills to build confidence in your approach

〰️Part 2: Preparing for Flight
Saturday, November 21, 12-1:30pm
After having the space and time to integrate your learnings from Part 1, the second session will look at further preparing you to lean into Crow. The workshop will:
- Revisit how the body works together in Crow
- The role of specific anatomy including wrists, shoulders, core, hips and legs
- Activating progress to Crow
- Common challenges and ways to refine your practice
- Integrating the key shapes into a progressive vinyasa sequence

Our dear friend, Hamford McDonald, is joining us once again for a full practice with two very different workshops on Saturday, October 17th 🤎

Ways to practice with Hamford:
〰️ 11am: Progressive Vinyasa (90 mins). This practice will explore elements of standing asanas, balances and inversions practiced through a progression of creative sequences, building a pathway to a specific peak pose or transition. Some experience recommended, however options will be offered throughout.

〰️ 2pm: Myofascial Release. Designed to help you soften tension, release tightness, and reconnect with your whole body. We will use yoga props, progress based pressure, and breath to explore the body from head to toe, creating space to move, and feel more at ease in your body.

Spots limited. Book at the link in our bio.

✨EASTSIDE IS TURNING 1! Please join us for FREE CLASSES all weekend long & a special Birthday Celebration at the studio across October 3 & 4 ✨

I can’t believe this time last year we were fitting out the studio with a 10 month old baby, and preparing for our very first Open Studio at the time with just Cass, Kate & Shani. Then for months we trialled class times, taught many 1:1 classes, and eventually we started to find our feet and along the way we built the most incredible team and community. And here we are a whole year later - what a dream it’s been!

To celebrate with you all, we are opening our doors yet again, but this time for a WHOLE WEEKEND! We will also have a very special celebration on Saturday afternoon at the studio, and for those keen on supporting our local, we will also head to The Painted Lady 1862 at 4pm.

🌿 An update on Pricing & Payment Options🌿

We’ve got some changes coming to our pricing and payment options, and we wanted to share them with you and be transparent as to why these changes are happening, and the options available for you.

**NEW PRICING**
〰️Single class $20
〰️5 class pass $90( 18/class) **NEW OPTION**
〰️10 class pass $170 ($17/class)
〰️Monthly membership $115 - Billed every 30 days (Approx. $12.50/class when practicing 2x weekly)
〰️ Fortnightly membership $57.50 - Billed every 15 days

Please note:
If you’re currently on a monthly membership, your $95/month price will always be honoured as one of our foundational members 🤎

And throughout September, you can still join at the current $95/month price and lock that rate in forever. You can also stock up on 10 class passes at the current price before the change.

We also offer a 15% concession rate, and if cost is still a barrier to practicing, please reach out. We will always do our best to find a way to make it work. We want you here.

We haven’t made these changes lightly. We care so deeply about affordability and financial access to yoga, and it’s been incredibly hard to balance that with the reality of running a small studio.

These changes help us better value our teaching team, while also covering increasing costs - including rent and the card surcharge that will be incurred by the business from October 1 - and, importantly, help make Eastside Yoga viable for the long term.

We’re so grateful for your understanding, your support, and for choosing to practice with us.

We value you so much. Thank you for being part of Eastside Yoga 🤎

Her intention with this workshop is to validate teachers in their own unique approaches, experiences and offerings, as well as share evidence based teaching strategies that we can add to our toolkits - particularly when it comes to teaching to diversity through inclusive practice.

Bringing together her work as a yoga teacher, a middle-senior secondary school educator, and her educational background which includes a Masters degrees in teaching and in inclusive education; everything she shares is based in research and considered best practices in teaching.

The workshop has a sliding pay scale between $80-100, however if cost is a barrier please reach out. We have the ability to support scholarship positions.
