about our coursesYoga is a systematic method to healing, balancing and understanding every aspect of ourselves. It was succinctly articulated in the yogic text ’The Yoga Sutras (Patanjali 200BCE). Modern yoga is loosely based upon this philosophy and methodology. This system is known as ‘Raja Yoga’ and is comprised of eight components which are articulated and expanded upon in the course material and practices taught.
Kookaburra Yoga's Absolute Beginners Yoga Course introduces the more physical aspects of yoga: asanas (exercise), pranayama (yogic breathing), pratyahara (deep relaxation). The Introduction to Meditation Course goes deeper incorporating the more subtle practices and concepts: yogic breathing, deep relaxation, dharana (concentration), dhyana (absorption), samadhi (merging, bliss). The practices of Raja Yoga are taught sequentially as it is very difficult (or even impossible) to practice the subtler, meditative aspects of yoga if there is stress or tension present in the mind or body. Therefore we recommend the Absolute Beginners Course as a starting point to learn to manage stress, restore balance and wellness and increase the strength and resilience of the physical body. Relaxation becomes second nature and meditation becomes a joy! The Yoga, Relax & Meditate specifically addresses stress, unhappiness, the causes, and the solutions which can be found through integrating the wisdom and methods of traditional yoga. This course complements the Absolute Beginners Yoga and Introduction to Meditation Courses, and also stands alone as an introductory course. If you're ready to delve into the vast body of knowledge which informs modern yoga practice and theory join the Wisdom Teachings of Traditional Yoga Course. You'll learn about the source texts and philosophies including the Yoga Sutras, the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and more. In 2018 we introduce two new courses Yin Yoga Foundations to provide a gentle introduction to this beautiful, soft style of yoga and Yoga & Mindfulness for Teens with teenage friendly and relevant content including take home resources and easy to follow yoga, mindfulness, relaxation and meditation instruction to help with stress, anxiety and pressure. Each course includes Level 1 practices which include yoga postures, breathing, meditation and relaxation methods. You'll leave feeling refreshed, nourished and deeply relaxed!
