After a long break from Mindful Yoga due to extensive renovations in Ngunguru Hall, we are super excited to be able to resume soon.

In the meantime, make time for your own Sadhana, keep up your yoga, it is a real taonga for your life’s journey.

Summer / Raumati  energy is light, warm, high vibration, involving the Fire Element and targeting the meridians of the yin Heart and Pericardium, the yang Small Intestine and Triple Energiser. Try tapping, opening and gently stretching these meridians and the Heart space.
Manipura at the navel centre is the Sun Chakra, a time to connect with your inner sun and the core of your body, supporting the spine and the Diaphragm, actually the true ‘Core of our Being’.
Slow opening sun salutations will balance Pitta Dosha heat in the body,  take your time to open and cool, to be mindful when you practise for the Summer Solstice soon on December 22, set your Sankulpa / Intention to honour the ‘Standing of the Sun’ – we need it!

Then it is New Year, a time to look back on our own unique journey – what we can let go of  to make space, and which seeds have germinated , what can we nuture, develop, take with us through to the future – what lights our inner sun.

Mindful Yoga Hatha classes provide a steady yet dynamic practice, slower than Vinyasa with longer holds, focusing on the breath and movement of prana (energy). Traditional Hatha asanas, Pranayama and Meditation provide a complete whole yoga class. Hatha encompasses many styles of physical yoga, creating balance and uniting opposites. Ha (Sun, hot, active, yang, masculine), tha (Moon, cool, receptive, yin, feminine).

Over the busy Holiday time, enjoy some new Tutukaka Classes offering Community connection,  Tutukaka Coast Yoga Connection…
