The Yoga School Public Classes

Our Cairns yoga classes offer 5 levels of instruction for the developing yoga practitioner. We also offer self-practice at the school by arrangement.

• Intro to Yoga – a 5-Week Course designed for people new to yoga or have not practiced for some time. This is an 'easy does it' class where the teacher will guide and explain in detail for your understanding and confidence.  As this Course is based on a roll over program and students may join in at any week.  For example, if you start at week 2, you would do 2, 3, 4, 5 and 1 to complete the 5 weeks.  Any missed classes can be made up!  You may also stay longer if you wish. 
• Level 1 – a Beginner class using the same syllabus as the Intro but moves at a quicker pace and starts incorporationg the use of Vinaysa to build upper body strength, create heat and improve mental focus.  As in all of our classes, postures and techniques are modified, if necessary, to ensure all students are able to participate and benefit.
• Level 2 – an Intermediate class.  As you progress in Asana, the postures become more challenging, but also more fun!  At this level we are studying stronger versions of all the asana groups.  You need to be competent with level 1 before attending level 2.
• Level 3 – an Advanced class. At this level we study Handstand, Forearm Balance, Headstand (and variations), plus much stronger versions of the other asana groups.  You must be competent with and understand the techniques of Level 2 before jumping in over your head.  This is an advanced class working on advanced postures.
  
• Chair Yoga – a modified form of Hatha Yoga which allows students with disabilities, lack of mobility, balance problems, joint challenges, recovering from illness, accidents and operations, or other physical issues to participate in and enjoy the benefits of yoga. 

For an even development of body, breath, mind and spirit, your Knoff certificated or Master 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

In every Yoga class we emphasize:

• Step-by-step progression
• The individuality of every student
• Postures are adjusted to allow for body proportions
• A proper yoga education as well as exercise for the body, mind and spirit

Yoga info for all students

We recommend that you wear shorts or tights and a close fitting tee shirt or singlet to yoga classes. Loose clothing inhibits movement as we journey through new yoga poses.  As teachers we like to be able to clearly see your body so that we can better assist you.

We provide a storage area for your belongings but recommend that jewellery and valuables are not brought to class.  Yoga is a fragrance free zone so please no strong deodorants or perfumes.

We provide all the yoga props and supports you need to enjoy a safe, fun and comfortable yoga practice; this includes mats, belts, blocks, bolsters, bricks and chairs.

We honour cleanliness and hygiene at the school and all our eco-friendly mats are cleaned after every class.

We ask that you bring your own towel for personal use on the mat and a sarong or shawl for relaxation.

For your own comfort it is recommended not to eat for a minimum of 2 hours before attending any yoga class.

As the effects of yoga last for 4 days, we encourage all students to practice at least twice per week in order to retain the benefits of yoga, plus you’ll enjoy greater progress on and off the mat.
