SHE Oaks\u2019 Jo Solomon will continue to teach a weekly hatha yoga class from the Maude tennis clubrooms, albeit in a virtual way due to COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n
Every Thursday night at 6.30pm for the foreseeable future, Ms Solomon will broadcast live over Zoom, inviting beginners or those returning to hatha yoga practice, to log on and take part in a guided session in their own home.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s for people that want to learn a solid foundation in hatha yoga and how to learn foundation poses so they can practice in class or at home confidently,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ll understand how to do each pose, how to stay in them carefully, how to move between poses carefully and how to protect their bodies so they don\u2019t get injuries.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s any age, any body, any gender. All poses can be modified up or down, to make them stronger or less strong for a person\u2019s body, depending where they\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Solomon said there are many benefits to this type of yoga, with movement that frees up the body.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt brings flexibility, strength and balance to the body, but it\u2019s deeper than that. I incorporate mindfulness and meditation, ways to be more conscious and present, and breathwork,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat you learn on the mat informs your life off the mat. It\u2019s mind and body awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n
