about our courses

Yoga 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 classes were originally 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 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 and Mediate Course draws on Hatha Yoga, Meditation traditions and Yogic Mindfulness to specifically addresses the causes of stress, anxiety, unhappiness, addictions, and provides the tools 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 level yoga course. We take a slow, steady and gentle approach in each session. The course is suitable for complete beginners and those wanting to learn and practice the yogic methods of relaxation and wellbeing.
