John Malherbe recently started a new yoga class at the centre. I haven’t had the opportunity to experience it yet, but after feedback about his Saturday classes, I’m sure they’re great.
John says:
I started my exploration into Yoga in 2005 with my practice in Kundalini Yoga at Ishta – As a dedicated student with a general love for the effects and awareness created by this discipline I decided to expand three years later, combining and incorporating Ashtanga Yoga into my practice. With the further inclusion of strong Hatha yoga I felt satisfied and positively challenged in what Yoga was offering me. My teachers Pritam, Debbie and Anne helped me greatly to deepen and develop within these forms, to a level where I felt competent and inspired to hold the teaching space myself.
Predominantly guided by intuition, a keen sense of energy awareness and a need for physical challenge and endurance; I have developed a style of Yoga which is best described as HATHA FUSION: My sets follow a defined structure with Pranayam, Warm up postures, Twists, Suria Namaskar sequences, Holding postures, Balancing postures, Cooling Down postures and relaxation. Each set is different and I try to keep the sets interesting and fresh to stimulate the body and consciousness in a way that leaves a tangible energetic result.
I believe my classes will appeal to yoga practitioners who enjoy a strong
solid yoga practice, combining the best aspects of my own yoga experiences to become a modality for personal development.
With respect JOHN

Fantastic Goodness – its always great to see new faces in the class and you really connected to the form well – with time the wrists will become looser too
