About this event

  • 28 days 1 hour

In Yoga Sutra, Sadhana Pada, the teachings outline the 5 Kleshas as that which obstructs us from realising that we are already liberated. The Kleshas according to Patanjali are why we endure suffering; Avidya (Ignorance), Asmita (Egoism), Raga (Attachment), Dvesha (Aversion) & Abinevesha (Fear of Death). Through this journey of classes, we will explore the Kleshas as a way to bring your attention to where you can continue too be aware or release old ways of being. Through awareness, changing your perception. Ignorance is not bliss (like they say) but bliss is found on the other side of ignorance.

This journey of classes is suitable for both the seasoned yogi and beginner practitioner. Through a series of 5 x weekly lunar style classes in August, and the combination of asana, pranayama + meditation practices focusing on the cultivation of Apana Vayu (downwards momentum of energy), you will be guided to release the ghosts of the past, bring your awareness to the Kleshas and lighten the load on your physical being, in turn allowing more spiritual light to enter. Each practice will lead you through the layers of your being, bringing you closer to alignment with your Soul.

When: Every Friday in August, 9:30am

Class Length: 60 minutes

Where: Activity Room at Burleigh Waters Community Centre

Bring: Please bring your yoga mat. You may also like to bring a cushion or a bolster (if you have one) to provide extra support during seated pranayama + meditation. If you are more likely to feel cool, I suggest bringing a shawl or a light blanket.

Classes are capped at an intimate number (5-8)

A little bit more about the practice philosphy;

Traditional Hatha Yoga

Medicine for the modern mind. The science of SOUL. Our yoga classes are based on Moon, Sun, Fire practice philosophy and will move your practice beyond the physical, guiding you towards a deeper connection to self + soul. Incorporating simple postures, slow movement and longer holds in intelligently sequenced order for the energetic purpose of class. Each practice is a ‘Complete Practice’ (Sarvangha Sadhana), including Asana (physical postures), Pranayama (breath techniques) and meditation.

Moon Practice (This Journey)

Moon classes have a focus on cultivating a calm and stable mind, allowing your body and mind to let go and release what is no longer beneficial to you. Grounding back into your body. Moon practice allows you to digest and assimilate information at a physical, emotional and energetic level. Allowing you permission to soften, regulate and de-stress your nervous system. Returning to the connection of your body, mind, heart + soul.

Sun Practice

“Once the moon has been made steady, the sun can be made to rise". Bringing the grounded and calm qualities of the moon with us, Sun classes have a focus on expanding our capacity and sensitising to Prana (energy), so that we can work with it on a deeper level.

Leaving you feeling calmly radiant, confident , a boost in vitality and more connected to the subtle energy body. Enlivening mind, body, heart + soul.

Fire Practice

“Igniting the radiant power of Soul” - Fire practice is an illumination process. With an emphasis of cultivating ‘internal heat’ centred in the navel with the inclusion of deeper work with Bandha, Mudra and Mantra to still the mind, cultivate energy and burn through limitations.

Fire practice allows you to safely call forth dormant spiritual power (Kundalini Shakti) and transform it into Prana Shakti (activated power) resulting in the meditative absorption into higher spiritual centres.

Frequently asked questions

Is this class suitable for a beginner?

Yes. Lunar Hatha Yoga is perfect for beginners, in fact cultivating a calm mind is the most important step for any practitioner. Incorporating simple postures, slow movement and longer holds will allow you to feel the essence of practice without feeling overwhelmed.

Where is the class held?

We are located in the Activity Room at Burleigh Waters Community Centre. When you enter the facility, turn right and from there it is the first door on the right.

What do I need to bring?

Please bring your yoga mat. You may also like to bring a cushion or a bolster (if you have one) to provide extra support during seated pranayama + meditation. If you are more likely to feel cool, I suggest bringing a shawl or a light blanket.

Do I need to be flexible?

As my teachers teacher says, "Flexibility is inconsequential on the path of yoga". Stability + calming the fluctuations of the mind are most important. So instead, i'll invite you to become the witness of your mind, + to simply accept yourself as you are. Yoga is much more than stretching.

Organized by

Ether + Sol Yoga

An invitation to move beyond + trust in the unknown.

Ether; both nothing and everything at the same time. It’s the stillness, yet it’s the very thing that makes all movement and life possible. It is the element that connects us with spirit, intuition + that which is beyond the physical.

Sol; an ode to the sun, that radiates from within. The light which emanates from your soul, that shines upon and liberates the darkness. Like the sun kissing your skin, exuding warmth, peace and a sense of renewal.

Ether + Sol is an expression of the balance between feminine and masculine energies, a place to experience the sweetness of the space in between and a cultivation of energy that allows you to experience your light in full. To return home, to soul. A safe space for you to be guided beyond your limitations, to heal, find stillness and deeply embody a peaceful state to access your innate self + ultimately freedom from within.
