Maraetai Yoga Studio

Birthday party yoga! 🥳 Such a fun afternoon. Happy birthday Shona Fearn 🥰 # # #

This Sunday is International Yoga Day — a day inspired by the legacy of B. K. S. Iyengar and an opportunity for people everywhere to celebrate the art of yoga and practise together.

To mark International Yoga Day, we’ll be practising the traditional sequence designed by Geeta Iyengar — building strength, stability, and stillness through practice.

This weekend is the beginning of our slightly longer 75 minute sessions. We will focus on standing poses as well as inversions, such as headstands and shoulder stands, with support as needed. The session will enhance alignment, coordination and balance in this supported standing pose and inversion sequence. You do not need to be confident with inversions for this class. All levels are welcome. Book online www.maraetaiyoga.studio.

This Sunday we will begin the last day of the weekend with a deeply supported and restorative practice using props to quieten the nervous system, encourage passive opening, and promote recovery and renewal. We will end the session with some pranayama or controlled breathing to further calm the nervous system. Book your spot online www.maraetaiyoga.studio.

Ps. This is a pic of Abhijata Iyengar from when she was here in NZ for 4 days back in February! Such an AMAZING few days. Here she was showing us how to best help our students progress with their forward bends when the hamstrings are tight....
