🧘‍♀️ IYENGAR YOGA WORKSHOP - CAIRNS 🧘‍♀️
DYNAMIC EXTENSION

Join us for a 3-hour workshop exploring extension from the ground up.

Focus Pose: Ubhaya Padangustasana
From the buttocks, stretch up through the spine. Actively extend both the arms and legs; from your base, all parts reaching outward and upward.

We will pay attention to making space and extending, elongating and expanding the sides, front and back of the body. Even if you’re stiff, space has to be created and you need to both broaden and extend away from your core.

📅 Date: Saturday 3rd October 2026
⏰ Time: 1:00pm - 4:00pm
📍 Venue: The Yoga School, Piconne’s Shopping Village, Pease Street, Edge Hill
💰 Cost: $80
🎟️ Early Bird: $75 if booked by 20th September

Suitable for: Keen beginners and experienced students

Bookings: [email protected]
Please drop me a text or email with your contact details to secure your spot.

Shoulders: A Pose to Practice

Tassie might be cool, but it’s SO beautiful right now. Perfect weather to come onto your mat and melt some shoulder tension.

Try this against a wall or grill:
1. Set up: Stand with feet hip-width apart. Left foot and thigh pressed to the wall.
2. Left arm: Reach it behind you. Keep the inner elbow + outer shoulder flush to the wall. If there’s an edge, grip it.
3. Legs: Outer thighs draw in and back. Soles flat. Knees firm and steady.
4. Chest + Neck: Lift the chest. Soften the trapezius/shoulders away from the ears.
5. Press: Press the outer shoulder into the wall. Feel the inner armpit crease deepen and soften.
6. Right arm: Take it behind your back, past the waist. Press the hand to the wall or grip the grill. Roll that shoulder back.
7. Finish: Keep the leg action. Aim to bring the chest to face forward.

This action opens the chest and gives real relief from shoulder pain and tightness.
