Sally's Yoga journey | |
Hatha Yoga is designed to prevent illness through the body and
mind, by creating balance in your life through postures,
breathing and meditation.
In all classes the emphasis is on counteracting the everyday
stresses placed on the body and mind and developing correct
understanding and technique for practice. Modifications,
adjustments and variations of postures and breathing
(Pranayama) techniques are always given for students at all
levels of practice.
Students usually begin with attending the Beginners Hatha
course to lay down the foundations of yoga, then move to the
General Hatha classes. Following this, students can continue
with attending the weekly hatha yoga classes, or for those who
would like to explore a more physically intensive yoga
practice, Ashtanga yoga can be introduced (see below for more
details).
If it's your first time at yoga, a beginners course or 1 on 1
personal sessions with Sally is strongly recommended to
develop a correct understanding of breath, bandas and sun
salutations.
Hatha classes are open to students of all levels, from
beginner's to advanced. These classes are designed to cleanse
and nuture the body and mind through a combination of gentle
and strong asanas. The foundations of yoga practice are
firstly lay down in the beginners hatha course, then through
weekly classes we gently develop strengh and flexibility
through the body. We always conclude with a deep relaxation to
ultimately bring you into deeper contact with your calm,
relaxed Self. Students may experience a transformative effect
on both the body and the mind after just one class.
Hatha yoga also increases energy, circulation of blood and
lymph, improves digestive function, can lower blood sugar
levels, aids in the recovery of injury and illness, builds
core strength, whilst promoting calm and stress relief.
Once strength has built through the body and the foundations
of yoga are solid, students are then invited to attend the
Ashtanga yoga courses.
A 4-6 week course top get you started.

Ashtanga Yoga is an ancient system of Yoga originating from India thousands of years ago. It is a specific sequence of postures linked together in a continuous, flowing series.
The sequence is physically intensive and can potentially transform your body within months. Ashtanga Yoga, practised in its correct sequential order, gradually leads students to rediscovering his or her fullest potential on all levels—physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual.
The linking of breath with movement is the foundation of the
tradition, combining the three elements of mind, body and
breath, ultimately bringing you into deeper contact with your
Self
To learn Ashtanga yoga with Sally you begin with attending a

Workshops are run as a Mysore style class. Bookings essential.
A general hatha class for teens, where we explore postures,
breathing and meditation techniques in an open and nurturing
environment. This class is great for developing
strength, muscle tone and suppleness throughout the body.
Relaxation and meditation techniques are also a big part of
the class, aimed to equip students with lifelong skills to
help balance the stresses and challenges they encounter, to
further create resilient, balanced and healthy teenagers.
During a kids yoga class, we discover many aspects of yoga through postures, games, stories, songs, art, dance, breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation.
Students will be connecting to many parts of themselves including the mind, body, breath, personality, imagination, creativity and inner peace. We will explore their inner voice, their inner thoughts and work on training these subconscious patterns to further create resilient, assertive, joyful children.
'Above all, Yoga for kids is about having fun.’
Prior to teaching yoga, Sally taught secondary school Health and Physical Education for six years. During this period, Sally discovered Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga in Perth, where she practiced with her teacher for many years before giving birth to her son, Elijah. She knew after her first few weeks of practicing Yoga that her path would include bringing this transformational practice to others.
Sally then began two years of formal training
through Aura Yoga Institute, USA.
Now living and teaching in Torquay/ Jan Juc, Sally's aim is to pass on this beautiful and transformational tradition of Yoga to all students, as it has been transmitted to her.
