45 Yoga Classes in Brisbane QLD, Australia

A gentle blend of slow flow and yin poses, this class moves the mind and body into a place of peaceful reflection. It is a 60 minute gift to the calm yogi within.

A Level 1 and 2 class with some options included for the more advanced students to practice. Alignment focused vinyasa

Purna Yoga Classes - Classical, alignment focused hatha yoga incorporating philosophy, meditation and breath control. Open, general classes, suitable to all levels, no need to book. Blocks, belts and bolsters are available to be used to support and modify postures safely.

All our classes are suitable for both beginners and experienced students. Each Centre instructor has their own unique style and approach to teaching that has been approved by Byron Yoga Centre.

Beginners/General classes are just as they sound. We take things just a little further, but maintain a focus on foundational instruction. There's sometimes a little gentle flow-style practice incorporated into these classes, particularly in the mornings, which may confront the mind initially, but the body quickly takes the reigns - you'll be surprised how easily you pick these up. :) Pranayama and meditation practices may begin to be slightly longer (we may go from sitting for 2 minutes to 5 minutes), we firm up bodily understanding of foundational postures and begin to sense deeper, also moving into slightly more involved and challenging variations.

You will be offered variations according to what your body is asking at each moment - which can vary class to class, and you only ever need to do what you feel comfortable doing - you always choose your own practice, even in a class setting.

Everyone is welcome at these classes - you'll be safe and supported wherever you are in your practice.

Being initiated into powerful yogic techniques, the practitioner can quickly achieve harmony and growth in any aspect of life.

Direct initiations will be given in Laya Yoga (a secret and powerful meditation technique using mantra), and the 10 cosmic powers (Maha Vidyas).

What is special about the Tantric Yoga course?

The teachings are a synthesis of various spiritual traditions including the Indian and Tibetan yoga and Taoist spiritual teachings, combined with modern scientific research, explained in a logic and practical manner.

We place a strong emphasis on direct experience in the Tantric tradition, and the course is a chance for you to practice some Tantric Yoga techniques and feel the effect in your own being, and the impact it has on other areas of your life.

Some elements we'll cover include: techniques for purification of the body, knowledge of universal principles, the law of resonance, sexual continence (conscious control of the sexual energy, there is no sexual activity during the course, this is your home work ;) the principle of polarity, ayurvedic wisdom, and the psychology of the chakra system - learning techniques for harmonising the being at each level.

The course takes place once a week, as a 2 hour class. 30 minutes are dedicated to learning a new technique and receiving theoretical knowledge from the Tantric Yoga tradition. 90 minutes are dedicated to practicing together the techniques taught so far - which have a Hatha Yoga Asana base. Each week you will receive papers with details about the techniques taught and other relevant theory.

The course advances gradually, being structured on years of study. We begin with traditional Tantric Yoga Asanas (postures) mudras and bandhas, then include breathing techniques and various meditation methods. Techniques of purification, mental exercises and dietary information are also given. Later on in the ongoing course students receive initiations into more advanced forms of yoga such as Mahavidya Yoga, Svarayoga, some branches from Tibetan yoga and more.
