Kriya Yoga : Tues 15th Sept 10.15am

Kriya Yoga -- for those that have never attended a Kriya Yoga class before -- are dynamic movements. My favourite and specific Kriyas that feature often in class are the movements using the arms and legs that support better circulation (blood and lymph) and help reduce Cortisol (stress hormone) so that it doesn't get stored in the mid-section of the body.

The fat cells around our mid section are high in cortisol receptors, cortisol activates an enzyme known as lipoprotein lipase, these cells pull the enzymes out of the blood stream and stores them in around the belly -- we try to utilise them before this can happen.

Stress spikes also play havoc on insulin that sends messengers to body to store even more fat making the process a double whammy.

Movement is one of the best and natural ways for stress reduction and for improving mind, mental health and returning to calm.

Hence why these Kriya Yoga stretches, movements, breathing, poses need to be repeated frequently and often!

I like to think that my classes are different from your average Yoga classes, they comes with advanced science based knowledge and experience.

Yoga that supports you on multiple fronts.

MENOCIZE : Metabolic 5-4-3-2-1

Sat 12th Sept at 10.15am

Did you know that nearly 40% of menopausal women develop metabolic syndrome. Metabolic issues are a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, and hard stubborn excess abdominal fat.

This metabolic transition, triggered by adjusting estrogen levels causes a chain reaction across the body's energy and metabolic system, meaning a slower metabolic rate.

No wonder you are always tired, and always hungry!!!

To help remedy this, Metabolic 5-4-3-2-1 workout helps spike your metabolic rate during and after, the class has finished, known as the afterburn.

Menocize metabolic 5-4-3-2-1 workout class helps improve metabolic health by combining cardiovascular efforts with resistance training to fundamentally alter how your body produces and burns energy.

Don't worry its not a crazy hi-intensity workout, its a ladder slowly building up and then cooling down, like your metabolic system is climbing up and down a ladder to improve its efficiency, this helps burn more fat for energy!

VENUS IN SCORPIO : Intense Love total soul-level fusion

Venus enters Scorpio 10th September thru to late October whereby we might develop a deep love affair, in the most quirky, kooky ways.

I know so many young mums having new born babies at the moment, if you thought you loved your new child with a powerful unconditional love, as Venus enters Scorpio you may find the dial is turned up on the intensity of this love, with such obsession you can't bare to be apart.

For me I moved out of our family home after 29 years, I never thought I would ever love a house so much as I did that, but I have literally fallen in love with my new home, in a way that has totally taken me aback. Feel totally home in my new home.

Maybe you are a teacher with a new September intake of students and the first few days you noticed all the quirks, unusual traits, idiosyncrasy of the students -- day, by day, they are growing on you, magnifying your passion to teach, educate and rekindle your fervour to your job.

Or say you joined a gym, started a new class and you are not quiet feeling it, come Venus in Scorpio all of a sudden you can't wait to get to class with zeal --and a strong energy and drive to reach a goal.

Lastly the partner you have been with for too many years to mention, whose habit sometimes drive you mad, you start to see with fresh eyes, you laugh at their jokes as if the first time you've heard them, and found a new or old adoration and new found affection for them.

Or lets say you have a creative hobby like art, dancing, writing and you haven't visited your paint-brushes, listened to your favour music or now feel drawn to move your feet to the rhythm, see images in clouds, ready to pick up your pen and write, with such creativity and inspiration -- you can't put the pen down.

Whatever love affair you rekindle, let it fill you with total soul-level fusion. Enjoy and embrace it while it lasts.....

ASHTANGA YOGA : Tues 8th Sept at 10.15am

One of the reasons I love Ashtanga Yoga is due to its 'thermogenesis effect'! Apart from promoting deep flexibility, better balance, alignment, focus--whilst calming the Mind.

Ashtanga yoga has a powerful thermogenesis effect, it stokes your metabolism. Where as passive stretching styles, Ashtanga yoga is a vigorous, structured practice that links continuous movement with deep breathing, rapidly raising your core body temperature and increasing calorie burn!

When muscles are strong they burn more calories, and burn more fat. Ashtanga Yoga stretches promote muscular engagement --that release heat as a metabolic by-product.

As a bonus of practising Ashtanga we use Ujjayi Breath. Did you know that Ujjayi pranayama breath indirectly burn fat as it facilitates how you push it out of your body known as the exit point.

The increased enhanced oxygen flow then metabolizes fat, breaking it down into carbon dioxide and water. This carbon dioxide is then transported through your bloodstream to your lungs and exhaled naturally.

Recommended for those that are actively trying to lose weight but hate running.
