Ground To Grow – yoga program for students longing for more.

Taught by senior teachers Alison Sykes and Tanya Zappala, Ground to Grow is a series designed to help anchor you to your yoga practice whether you have just started or been attending for a while. Book in for one or all seven workshops in our series.  

In a supportive group environment you will be guided to confidently adapt the teachings of yoga for your own evolution. We are creating an environment for you to get into the nitty gritty with alignment and breathing practices, talk philosophy in practical everyday language and learn how meditation can be instinctive and empowering to you.

Each session will include breakdowns of common and popular yoga poses, and pathways to achieving trickier asana like hand balances and inversions. Each student will be encouraged to work in their own way, at their own pace. After asana practice we will come together to discuss the philosophy and psychology of yoga, and to explore how the ancient teachings can be applied to our busy modern lives.

We’ll go deeper into meditation practices, explore and discuss ways of making meditation more accessible, enjoyable and sustainable for you.

The Elements provide a foundation for our series, we’re inspired to share this program with you as yoga has become a way for us to live life more fully, joyfully and responsively. We’re so excited to share these teachings, they light us up and we hope that our passion for this practice will inspire you to bring yoga into all that you are and do.

We recommend that you have at least 6 months of regular practice experience, please contact us if you wish to complete the program but do not meet this guideline so that we can chat about whether the series will be a good fit for you.

Pre-requisite for workshops 4-7, students must have completed any or all of workshops 1-3.

Water | Flowing with the Current

Water is the blood flowing in our veins, permeating every cell. It’s the sweetness of life, the joy of drinking pure clean water, the bliss of taking a hot shower, washing your hands, soaking in a bath. Water is soft yet a force to be reckoned with. It teaches us at times it is best to relax and accept, rather then try to alter or control. To be adaptable between different levels in society, at work or at home. To find fluid transitions from one state to another. From one cell to two, two to four, we have we have started life without physical or mental exertion. Only along the way have we learnt fear that holds us back, pushing against the natural flow of our instinctive selves. Let’s instead reconnect to our innate state of being.

Meditation – Mooladhara Chakra – The Root Energy Centre
Our Earth is that which attracts us inward to our center, which supports and nourishes us. Gravity is supporting our bones, enabling you to stand proud and tall. Earth is fertile, soil enriched by all the living things that it has accepted as compost, renewed to be used again. Earth is having a place where you feel at home, a place to call your own, the ability to settle down and let go. The Earth is nourishing spiritually as well as physically. The Earth welcomes all, and is the perfect place to start your journey.
