Welcome to your 6 week Esoteric Yoga program which commences 11th September 2020. The live classes will be 6 – 7am (AEST), 10pm EU. Week one, the class will be 1 hr and 10 mins to allow for an introduction. For those of you who are new to Esoteric Yoga, please read the information below carefully in regards to what you will need to support yourself the classes. Please note that the recordings will be uploaded onto this page each week for you to access and use as many times as you like. What you will need in preparation for the class

• A quiet space to practice where you will not be disturbed.
• An exercise mat or floor space. The practice can also be done on a comfortable and supportive bed mattress. If you find it difficult to sit up for an extended period of time with your legs out in front, it can be supportive to use a wall with cushions to support your back.
• A mobile device with camera on and facing towards you on your mat.
• Cushions, pillows to support the head, neck, spine, your hips, your legs in both the lying and seated positions.
• Blankets/covers to keep your body warm. An eye pillow may also be used to support a deeper letting go and enhance the nurturing quality of your practice.

The first class will include a short introduction to Esoteric Yoga, therefore the class will go for 1 hour 10 mins. The subsequent classes will run for one hour. The recording will be available shortly after the live class on this page.

Nurturing  – the over arching theme for this program Although the practice itself is very simple and follows a similar template for each class, you will find that each class is different in what it offers for you to reflect on throughout your week. In addition to the over-arching theme of Nurturing you may also have a personal theme that you may choose for yourself to work with over the 6 weeks.

Week 1 – New beginnings Under Esoteric Numerology the number 1 offers us a new beginning.  An opportunity to embrace all that is on offer for us as we dive deeper into our connection with our body and our being. With the full moon last week, we are currently under the constellation of Virgo until the next full moon in October. One of the qualities that is there for us to embrace under this constellation is that of nurturing. Nurturing always begins with ourself first of all, before we can offer this to another.

The beauty of Esoteric Yoga is that it offers us the space to truly self-nurture within the practice and then we can take what we learn on the mat into our movements as we go about our day to day life. In the class this week and thereafter throughout the program, look at all the area’s where you can offer yourself that extra level of care in all that you do.

Each week, take a moment to consider all the details from how you set yourself up for the class, what you wear (is it comfortable, warm, supportive), to the space that you have set up for the practice. Then try taking this same level of care into how you put yourself to bed and how you get ready for your day. Everything we learn on the mat in Esoteric Yoga, we can take into our daily lives so that the connection to our body and being can become our new ‘normal’ in all that we do.
