Dear SunYogis,

So here we are again at the end of another big year.  Classes finish on Tuesday 20th December. 9.30am in Albion and 6.30pm in Footscray. Still some spaces in the Saturday 17th classes too if you need to do a make up class or just simply need another class before the crazy Christmas New Year period.

Covered in this newsletter:

    • JANUARY OFFERINGS
    • NEW: EARLY MORNING INTENSIVE
    • NEXT BREATHING SPACE WORKSHOP
    • NEW ZOOM CLASS ADDED
    • CHRISTMAS BLESSING
    • TERM 1, 2023 DATES & FEES

 

Heading into the festive season I am reminded of how so many of you let me know that you miss yoga over our summer break and look forward to returning in the new year. The usual for SunYoga is a 4-6 week break inline with school terms. Well I have listened to your feedback (and my daughter is no longer of school age) so this year have decided to add in some January offerings. 

January offerings:

Firstly, to start of the New Year with calm and clarity, I am offering a New Years Early Morning Intensive. These sessions are a great opportunity and will be chock full of practices to embody our intentions in love and belief in possibilities. Sometimes a positive affirmation is simply not enough. Our minds get involved and draw us away from our true self, our deep knowing that we are capable enough & deserving enough of such a vast array of possibilities being with in our reach.   It will run at 7am for four consecutive days Jan 4, 5, 6 & 7. You can attend all four or as many as you can make. If you have never experienced the feeling of consecutive days of practice I enthusiastically invite you to try it out. They will include special practices to affirm your intentions for 2023, meditation, asana & Yoga Nidra. Please read my new Early Morning Intensives page under Events & Workshops tab on the website. 

Secondly, I am running another Breathing Space Workshop. It is scheduled for January 21st. 10.30am – 1pm. 

I had some amazing feedback from the last one. Here is just a few snippets: 

“Lisa’s beautiful calming voice guided us through amazing breath work, asana, mantra and meditation practices. My nervous system was so calm & I felt renewed from the inside out……” 

“I was fortunate enough to attend the Breathing Space Workshop held by Lisa recently & I left the yoga space feeling uplifted, relaxed and rejuvenated. It is lovely to have the extra time to slow down and go deeper into the reasons why we practise. Lisa always chants at the end of  our weekly sessions but during this extended mini retreat we enjoyed longer melodic chants, mantra with asana & Vedic chanting. What a treat! I highly recommend the experience to those who are long time yogis or people who are first time practitioners.”

“….I had never done Yoga Nidra before and Lisa’s guided practice sent me into a state of conscious relaxation that lasted the whole day!….”

Check the Breathing Space Workshop page for more details and bookings. 

Also NEW for 2023 will be the availability of logging in to the Tuesday night Footscray class via Zoom

 

Christmas Blessing

If I don’t catch you in the remaining classes to pass on my well wishes, please have a very safe, healthy and enjoyable festive season. 

Understanding that it is not always an easy or enjoyable time for many, I would love to share this Christmas Blessing that I received from my beautiful friend, yoga & vedic chant teacher and mentor – Deb Robertson. You can click on her name below to discover more about Deb. 

”    ….’Merry Christmas’ – surely the most challenging of our holidays. Hugely joyous and loving for some, exceedingly stressful, grief-stricken and challenging for others … or perhaps a complex combination. 

Let me be “the person” who reminds you to embrace your self-care at this time. Of all the times throughout the year when we most need it – these are typically the times when we prioritise everything else above our own needs.

Self-care is not selfish. Self-care is not selfish. Self-care is not selfish.”

   – Deb Robertson

 

I look forward to seeing you in the New Year to continue our Yoga journey together.

Much Love, 

Lisa  

 

Term 1, 2023 Dates and Fees.

Term 1 2023 will be an 8 week term with in a 9 week block. There is one week near the end of term  where there will be no classes as I have a performance commitment. 

Fee increase.

Unfortunately after much consideration I have had to review my class pricing. Due to the resulting effect Covid has had on SunYoga, which I thought would have passed by now, and the current state of inflation, I have reluctantly made a small price increase.  

I want to thank everyone for your understanding and for continuing to support my small business. If anyone is having financial hardship please reach out to discuss payment options. I’d love for everyone who wants to, to be able to experience the benefits of yoga!
