Classes at Whangaparaoa Hall - Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays
To attend Broga, please bring a yoga mat, a yoga block / thick towel (if not possible we have a few spare mats and blocks so arrive early!) and money to make your Koha (some people ask so the suggested amount is $10). Door opens at 17:45 so you can arrive prior and then settle in for an hour of yoga from 18:00-19:00. Broga is in the Supper Room which is accessed to the left of the main entrance.
Broga is here to give men new to yoga the opportunity to access the numerous benefits of a mindful yoga practice. Well balanced sessions flow through a warm up, an energetic phase, then a cool down and short guided meditation. It's the perfect introduction for guys who have been told yoga would help their back, but who are a bit self-conscious about donning neon lycra and getting an instagram account.
This will help to unlock the pelvis, release the lower back and shoulders, deepen the breath, invigorate bloodflow, stimulating beneficial chemicals and improving the overall posture and mood. It’s the ideal way to do something for yourself and will improve your life in ways you can't imagine, plus it's a practice, so you can't do wrong - unless you force through any pain.
I am looking forwards to seeing you and helping you start on the yoga path, Nameste!
Julian Fordyce suffered a herniated disc in his lower spine and used yoga to recover from a spinal fusion (L5-S1) surgery. He qualified as a yoga teacher in Thailand in 2016 and now takes the aspects of yoga most beneficial for stiff or painful backs and put them together into a engaging practice for the mind body spirit and soul.
