Classes & Course Descriptions
What we teach
Manly Yoga and Meditation Centre offers a range of courses and casual classes. All classes are 1.5 hour and consist of postures, breathing practices, relaxation and meditation.
Yoga postures
taught in class begin gently and are explored in a non-competitive
atmosphere with an emphasis on steadiness, comfort and awareness. The
postures help invigorate the body, improve health and flexibility, and
remove tensions.
Breathing practices
aim to awaken, balance and expand the life energy within us. The
practices induce relaxation and help ease mental and emotional
disturbances.
Relaxation practices help de-stress body and mind and support healing. Yoga Nidra™ is the main practice for deeply relaxing all layers of our being.
Meditation practices
cultivate awareness, calmness and serenity. Ultimately, meditation
brings a deeper understanding of our inner nature and is a tool for
enhancing concentration, will power and reducing stress.

Courses & Classes
By attending a course you will steadily progress in your learning and experience of the yoga practices. Manly Yoga and Meditation Centre offers a variety of courses, including:
Introductory Yoga Level 1
This course is designed to support new students in learning an
appropriate foundation of yoga practices, including postures, breathing
practices, relaxation and meditation techniques for their physical,
mental and inner well being. Students are encouraged to practice at
their own level of comfort and capacity and are shown ways of varying
the yoga practices to support their individual flexibility, fitness and
health needs. We recommend that student do this course twice
with 80% attendence before moving to Level 2. The course may be also
be further repeated if required.
Introductory Yoga Level 2
This course is for students who have completed an Introductory Level 1
course and who are now wishing to extend their experience and knowledge
of the various practices of yoga. Students are also introduced to an
understanding of the energy body and how yoga practices influence the
well being of this subtle aspect of the personality. Students need to
consult their teacher before enrolling and purchase the Asana, Pranayama, Mudra and Bandha
yoga text book. There are many practices which can be covered in
this level that we recommend students stay at this level for about a
year.
Progressive Yoga
This level is for students who have been attending classes regularly for at least 2 years. It is for people who wish to progress in their practice of asana, pranayama and meditation.
Building on Introductory Level 2, in this course students progress into
deeper levels of postures, breathing and meditation techniques.
Students are also introduced to the philosophies of yoga to help them
integrate their understanding of yoga into their everyday lives. The
course may be repeated as required.
Prenatal Yoga
This course includes gentle postures, breathing techniques, relaxation
and meditation for prenatal students to support them in pregnancy,
birth and motherhood. This popular course can be joined at any time.
Sunrise Classes
These classes are 1 hour classes consisting of yoga postures with a focus on the practice of Salute to the Sun. Each class finishes with a 15 minute relaxation.
Deep Relaxation (Yoga Nidra™)

Strengthening Yoga

Nada yoga is the practice of using subtle sound vibrations as a vehicle to transcend the mind and experience inner unity.

experienced students. These classes may be joined at any time and are
available to everyone. They are held during and in between terms.
