Meditation for Beginners with Kate

This online workshop addresses the most common questions, misunderstandings and confusing bits about meditation. It covers the essential how’s and why’s of creating a stable practice. The course will be run over 3 weeks, online as a group. Included are:

12 pre-recorded videos
4 live Q&A’s and live guided meditations
a course manual
and plentiful support from Kate.

We’ll explore many different aspects and approaches to and also queries about meditation. Such as

How do I quiet my mind and what do I do with my thoughts?
What is the point? What is meditation for? How is it different to just sitting and thinking?
I know it is good for me, but how do I make myself do it? How do I meditate consistently?
What technique am I supposed to be using? What is the right way to do it?
Am I supposed to be using guidance or do it on my own? And, how do I do it on my own?

In addition, the course addresses the struggles that Kate personally experienced as a beginner, and the mountains of wisdom and understanding that she has gathered along the way.

Kate is an Insight Meditation Teacher, Spiritual Mentor, Transformational Retreat Facilitator, Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist and a lifelong student of the Yoga and Buddha Dhamma. She has been a practitioner of Buddhist meditation for 13 years, and has sat (and facilitated) over 20 silent meditation retreats in the insight (Vipassana) tradition of up to 30 days in length. Kate is currently in a 4-6 year program to become a Senior Insight Meditation Teacher of Australia.

Flow, Roll & Release classes

Starting this Wednesday at 7:15pm we’re introducing Flow, Roll and Release Yoga classes!

Join Karen for these classes, themed around Chinese meridians, in which we will explore facial trains to both energise and release tension in the body.

This practice will be a blend of Yin & Yang with:

Myo Fascia Release
Flow to feel into body
Roll to find the sweet spots of tension
Release to unravel tension stored in the tissues
Yin/ Yang cultivate equilibrium within in the body, mind and spirit

Bigger classes (without live streaming … for the moment)

With class sizes increasing this week (hooray!) we are faced with another challenge (boo!) – how to live stream while maintaining privacy for those in the studio 🙏🏻

As the class orientation will need to change we have the mirrors to deal with which means a little ’tweaking’ (NOT twerking) from us 😜

You can now attend 1 class per day in the studio – no more limits to 3/week – so please feel free to book in to studio classes instead 🙌🏻

If you do not wish to attend in studio classes this week, the other options are for pre recorded classes to be sent, or alternatively a week pause/extension of your membership.

Please let us know your preferred option and we will arrange asap.

Thank you for your understanding.

ANNOUNCING BIGGER CLASS SIZES!

From today our capacity will be increased in line with today’s announcements from the SA Government 🙌🏻
.
We’re hard at work getting the schedule adjusted – standby for class confirmations if you’re on wait lists 📲
.
It’s a small step forward in the right direction and still a way to go – THANK YOU for your support throughout this truly tricky time from all of us at yogafusion 🙏🏻

Waitlist questions?

Due to the limited class sizes imposed by current government restrictions, we’ve implement waitlists on all our classes and we know that there have been some questions about how they work.

So we’re here to answer!

The main points are:

If a class is booked to capacity, you can join the waitlist. This means that if someone booked into the classes cancels you will move up the list and, if you’re at the top, you’ll be added to the class.
You will be notified via email if you’ve been added into the list at least 90 minutes before the class starts, so please keep an eye on your inbox.
If you are waitlisted, but a spot doesn’t free up in the class then you won’t lose a class on your current pass.
If you’re on the waitlist you can cancel at anytime and you also won’t lose a class on your current pass.

In order to use the waitlists, please make sure you are using the latest version of the app. At the time of writing, this is version 3.045.001. If this isn’t the version you’re using, please update via either Apple’s App Store or Google’s Play Store.

To check which version you have, go to the “Settings” section, like so!

Happy waitlisting – we’ll see you on the mat!

We’re opening even earlier than expected!

Live streaming & recorded classes

We are so grateful for the continued support we have received with the transition to online classes.

We are still offering multiple classes a day and a variety of styles. If you haven’t tried it out yet, please join us!

Registering for online classes

You can register for classes in the yogafusion app, or from the class schedule on our website.
It’s best to sign up at least 30 minutes before class starts so you have time to receive the link and log in – but if you leave it until the last minute you’ll still be able to join – just make sure you’re ready to go!
Online classes and recordings are available wherever you are – anywhere in the world!

Preparing for your virtual class

All you need is enough room to roll out your mat and a good internet connection.
You can join on your phone, laptop or computer (if you’re really tech savvy – or are at home with someone who is – link the class to your tv!)
Log in a few minutes early to test your audio and video, so you’re ready to go when class starts.

Viewing video classes

We will e-mail you a link to the class at least 20 minutes before it starts; they are sent out every few minutes, right up until the class starts.
If you do not receive the link 10-15 minutes before class, please reach out and we can re-send the link.
If the class times don’t suit, register anyway as you will be emailed a link to the recording of the class, available for 24 hours.

Sliding scale pricing available

We know this is an incredibly stressful time for many in our community and we want you to know we are here to assist you by keeping connected to the benefits of yoga practice, and each other.
We have introduced a sliding scale pricing option to pay what you can afford – starting from as little as $5/class.

Yoga can be a transformative tool for physical, mental and emotional health and well-being – never has there been a more crucial time to keep a regular practice.

Be well,

Amy, Simon & the Yogafusion Team
