A Yoga Sunday in Muizenberg

20th November

"Bending Reality" will be an extended 150 minute yoga class/workshop and relaxation to help you understand how you can shift your reality - your body, mind and life - to accomodate greater harmony between the sum of the parts and their integration with spirit. This therapeutic, healing aspect of yoga remains close to my heart and is a timeless, root aspect of classical yoga practice. Session starts 10 a.m. sharp. 
Aim to arrive around 9.30 to 9.45. to enjoy a great freshly juiced fruit and vegetable drink with us before we start.
Cost is R130
You may take the healing process further with an additional cranio-sacral sessions treatment after 12.30 - book directly with Sandra: drsandrasmit@gmail.com and 0847000690 / See: drsandrasmit.wordpress.com

Chill-out YOGA Sleepover RETREAT / Two YOGA DAYS

Following up on requests for more Saturday workshops, extended classes,  plus enquiries for affordable weekend retreats I have the pleasure of announcing Sunday and Saturday,  October the 1st and 2nd , as dates for the next yoga weekend. 

     Attend one or both dates as a day student, or bring your own bedding gear and sleep over. 

Apart from having fun with a walk on the beach, chilling out, eating hearty and healthy meals and bonus Cranio-sacral therapy session we will immerse ourselves in meditation practices, sun salutations, easy going classes as well as more challenging sessions and deep relaxation and pranayama practices. As Tom Robbins famously said: "It is never too late to have a happy childhood".

Beginner and advanced students are welcome. 

PROGRAM

The schedule indicates only a framework; actual session content will overlap to a degree. Although the 90 minute long sessions will allow for some workshopping the emphasis will be on doing yoga, not talking about it. 

Saturday  
   9.30 - 11 Easy Stretch, Sun Salutation 
   2.00 - 3.30  Power Yoga, Meditation, Pranayama

Sunday
   9.30 - 11 Sun Salutation, Power Yoga, Pranayama
   2.00 - 3.30 Easy Stretch, Mediation, Deep Relaxation

Stay-over participants can schedule their bonus Cranio-sacral treatments with Dr Sandra Smit closer to the time. 
Day students may also, availability allowing, book a Cranio-sacral session. 

Additional evening and morning meditations or other practices, perhaps some yoga on the beach etc, may be arranged in addition to the scheduled program depending on weather conditions. Saturday evening dinner will include wine and chess and a movie screening.  

EATING

We provide a fresh vegetable/fruit juice at the beginning of the day. Also provided are breads, fruits, nuts, teas, coffee and healthy hearty lunch and dinner meals, breakfast porridge etc. Feel free to bring your own fruits or snacks, and if you like you can get involved in the catering. 

Meals for stay-over persons includes Saturday lunch, dinner and Sunday breakfast and lunch.

Lunches are also included for the day students. 

Together we will strive to achieve an inspiring, uplifting and healthy weekend experience to release the toxins and the stress of day-to-day living and achieve greater well-being. 

ACCOMMODATION CHOICES

The three spaces of the therapy room, children's bedroom and studio will ensure privacy for 3 groups, couples or persons. Depending on the combination of couples, single persons and number of persons wanting to  spend the night you will sleep either in a single bed, on a futon, a mattress, or a pull-out couch. There are two bathrooms for to share. Please bring a sleeping bag or duvet, and a pillow.

"Subtle Practice" Workshop

Saturday the 18th from 10 a.m. to 12.30 and from 2 - 4.00 p.m.
R350

Subtlety is an important aspect of boldness. Without it there is brashness, banality. With subtlety comes effective action, conduct, art, life, everything is elevated.

Subtlety, as everything else, comes in shades. Soon as you refine your awareness of your subject, the crudeness of your perception prior to moving to the next level comes into view. This is the process of committed development at the heart of yoga and self-realization. It is true when refining one's craft, or life skill. Mutual growth beneficial to the overlapping parts of the whole is the result.
