Happy Easter everybody. We are half way through the shutdown and doing well.
This will be a different Easter for some with some of us not being able to be with close family, grand kids y and friends. To help us keep the yoga practice going and to help keep the kids amused and off the devices -here is a site you can find some ideas for kids yoga-stories and free downloadable resources. https://www.kidsyogastories.com/yoga-resources-for-teachers-and-parents/
There’s also a practice for you all to get us through the Easter period. Eat lots of chocolate and remember to focus on 3 things/people to be grateful for in your life each day. After your practice -turn up the music and do a little dance.
Namaste -Stay well .

Begin week two ‘staynation” with a Yoga Nidra and Meditation class online with Pragyadhara, 1st April,1pm
I hope this finds you all well and managing the changes we have in our day to day lives in our unique bubbles. We all need to establish new routines and rituals to help us move through these times in a grounded, balanced and connected way, especially when your bubble means you are isolated from your other whanau members.
Pragyadhara, who many of you know from her workshops at TYC, is offering an online complementary Yoga Nidra Relaxation & Meditation practice- via Zoom . This will help us to gain quality rest, for mind and body and assist us to build resilience together. ‘Peace begins with a smile. ” mother Theresa.”

Yoga online -Some suggestions for sites that could assist your home practice
I have been in contact with Jay our wonderful web designer to see what may be possible for TYC to provide via our website for our members in Term 2 if we are not back in our centre. Meantime there are many sites online to help you get onto your mat and do a home practice and you may already have your favourites. If not we have gathered up a few you might like to try. Or just do your version of The Sun Salutation series..it’s all good. https://www.yogajournal.com/videos/salute-the-sun
