Open Practice Spotlight: Rachel on Saturday afternoons.

What do you like about this time? I have an irregular working week, doing what I do (I’m a musician). If I’m not performing, Saturday is one of the quieter days in my week, and so coming in on a Saturday afternoon to practice is the time when I feel mentally quite spacious. I have […]

Open Practice Spotlight: Margot on Monday afternoons.

What do you like about this time? It can be quieter compared to class times & less people come in the afternoon it seems. What do you normally practice?  It depends how I am feeing and or my body is feeling. What do you find the difference is for you between coming in and doing a practice, and […]

Open Practice Spotlight: Denise on Friday afternoons.

What do you like about this time? I like weekday early afternoons as the Centre feels peaceful, in a kind of lull between the morning and evening classes. What do you normally practise? I don’t practise a set sequence. Rather, I use the open practices as an opportunity to focus on some ongoing problem areas […]

Open Practice Spotlight: Michael on Sunday Mornings.

What do you like about this time? I have been doing Sunday morning practice from around 7.45 to 9.25 am, since April last year. I use it as a good lead into Robyn’s general class which begins at 9.30 am. Sundays mornings are generally a pleasant time to walk down to the studio, plus it […]

Open Practice Spotlight: Arabella on Wednesdays @ 6am.

What do you like about this time? I’ve come to love the early mornings, but in truth my habit of getting up early in the morning was as hard for me as anyone else – I found it was the only time in the day I could have to myself with work and family commitments […]

  What do you like about this 7:30am time? I generally like to practice in the mornings. My mind and body are fresh and then I can enjoy the benefits of the practice for the rest of the day. There is also a beautiful natural light streaming in through the window at the studio that […]
