Knoff Yoga is an intelligent and dynamic approach to Hatha Yoga incorporating a synergistic mix of 5 ancient elements:
• Yoga Meditation (non-religious)
• Yoga Breathing (many benefits, including vitality)
• Yoga Postures (anatomically aligned)
• Yoga Relaxation (how to deal effectively with stress)
• Yoga Philosophy (how to have a happy life)
We offer 6 levels of on-going study for a comprehensive yoga education:
• Introduction to Yoga
• Beginners
• Foundation
• Intermediate
• Advanced
• Master
For an even development of body, breath, mind and spirit, your certificated teacher will carefully instruct you using 3 learning modes:
• Demonstrating the techniques – you learn by watching.
• Verbal explanation – you learn by hearing.
• Lead you through the techniques – you learn by doing.

PUBLIC CLASSES APPLICATION FORM
Public Classes Application Form
Note
• You are guaranteed a warm welcome by our professional teachers.
• You may start classes anytime.
• No extra costs, equipment, uniform, assessment or membership fees required!
• We are closed on all public holidays.
We recommend you attend classes twice per week. Home practice is encouraged as it helps you assimilate and understand what has been taught and you will progress more quickly.
All classes are based on our unique Monthly Rotational Sequence with a weekly theme for ease of learning:
ASANA - Weekly Theme:
1. Sun Salutations & Inverted Poses
2. Standing Poses & Forward Bends/Sitting Poses
3. Arm Balancings & Abdominals
4. Twists & Backbends
PRANAYAMA - Weekly Theme:
1. Ujjayi - Victorious Breathing
2. Viloma 1, 2 & 3 - Staggered Breathing
3. Surya Bhedana, Chandra Bhedana & Nadi Sodhana - Sun/Moon/Alternate Nostril Breathing
4. Kapalabhati/Bhastrika & Sitali - Skull Cleansing/Bellows & Cooling Breath
Each weekly theme is repeated every 4th week, so if you start classes on week 3 (Arm Balancings & Abdominals), you will do weeks 3, 4, 1, 2, etc and then repeat. In other words you will pick up the other weekly themes in sequence and your yoga education and training will progress at a steady rate.
There is the appropriate mix of new material to keep you interested and old material to keep you learning through repetition.
Advancement from one level to the next is by formal promotion - held on the 3rd Saturday of the month. Students need to demonstrate understanding as they perform their current level syllabus in front of the teacher. Your teacher will discuss the requirements and fully prepare you BEFORE the promotion. Promotion is not mandatory and only required if you wish to move to a higher level of yoga training.
If you are successful and pass the promotion, you are awarded with a Certificate of Achievement and invited to join the next higher level class.
We look forward to meeting you soon.
Brenden Rolley - Cairns, Australia: Just a quick note to let you know how welcome I feel at Knoff Yoga and how much I am enjoying the classes. At first I was a little unsure whether yoga was for men, but was very surprised to see a very balanced ratio of men to women in your classes. Even though I have only been attending classes for a short time, I am very happy with the muscle strength and definition I have gained. I am also amazed at how energized I feel after every lesson. I also find your teaching approach very professional and helpful in understanding how each yoga position works and its benefits.
We are closed on all public holidays
