NEW CLASSES IN 2009!

great news! We are pleased to inform that we will be introducing Pilates and Prenatal in the coming year!

Pilates is a more dynamic class which focuses more on strengthening the abdominal muscles. Keep a lookout for this upcoming addition!

we have not forgotten our mum-to-be! For Prenatal classes, please contact the teacher in charge, ms colette ward directly.

kindly write to her at colette@absoluteyogasingapore.com. alternatively, you can contact the studio at 6732 6007. Prenatal classes will commence very soon!

A LITTLE SOMETHING TO SHARE FROM OUR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS

this month input is from rene.

here's his tips on:
Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

this is, for me, the quintessential yoga posture! when done correctly it looks and feels wonderfully relaxing. when done incorrectly it feels and looks uncomfortable, straining and not fun. so, how, ah?

as with all postures, start figuring out your alignment from the floor up. start on your hands and knees, with your wrists directly below your shoulders and knees directly below your hips. keep your feet and knees hip-width apart (and, yes, please do look at your hips to check out the width). spread your fingers apart and point your middle finger forward with the wrists shoulder-width apart. please look again to judge the distance; we all judge this incorrectly from time to time. roll your wrists inward pushing down your thumbs and index fingers into the mat. this takes the tension and pressure out of your wrists. next, roll your shoulders apart, spreading your shoulder blades to take the tension out of your neck and shoulders.

now all you have to do is straighten your legs, push your heels down, push your hands forward, lengthen your spine, relax your neck and head, lah... as you gain confidence in the posture and become stronger the posture will be more relaxing.

as with anything practice, practice, practice. Do experiment and play with your yoga practice - your body is different from mine so your experience will be different as well. if you are in doubt, ask the teachers. we do not know everything but we do our best ;-)

if you have something to share about your yoga experience or anything yoga related, please email to info@absoluteyogasingapore.com . we would like to feature your contribution in the upcoming newsletters!
