At Kookaburra Creek, the essence of traditional yoga is retained, while the practices and teaching methodology has evolved to be relevant, accessible and practical to contemporary students, including absolute beginners.
|
Traditional yoga, a modern approachYoga at Kookaburra Creek is derived from the Raja and Hatha Yoga traditions of India where the centre's principal teachers trained. Kookaburra Yoga's integrated system of Hatha and Raja Yoga ensures the practices are holistic and beneficial on every level of being. Hatha Yoga classes are often the starting point for many people who may eventually enquire into the more meaningful and spiritual paths of yoga.

Inner balance, outer harmonyAt its most fundamental level, Hatha Yoga was originally intended to bring the body, mind and spirit into harmony and balance so the deeper practices of Raja Yoga could be done with greater ease, leading the practitioner towards liberation. In modern times our goal may be different - to strive for perfect health, to be well, to cope with stress, to find a lasting inner peace and spiritual purpose - when there is a clear goal in mind, yoga provides the pathway toward attaining it. Meditation is an experience of our true nature, brought about through the practices of Raja Yoga which bring calmness and control to the thoughts and emotions, leading to inner stillness and joy.

Beauty and potentialIn Kookaburra Yoga's Hatha Yoga classes, the practices taught are of 4 types which align with and bring into focus the values and characteristics of Traditional Yoga thereby leading us towards an integrated and true experience of yoga. The 4 types of practices can be characterised by: those which bring inner quiet; those which bring focus and body awareness; those which bring humility and detachment; and those which increase confidence and vitality.
When practiced regularly and sincerely Yoga has the potential to bring us into harmony and balance, bring healing to the body and mind, and experience the beauty and potential of our true nature. |
