Virtual Live Classes If you are unable to keep up your sessions in person then I would love for you to join classes in an online capacity.  As many of you know, that thank God I am a teacher, as I am hopeless at paperwork and modern social media still challenges me.  So I ask you be tolerant for the first few weeks while I get my head around it.  Please invite any friends that have expressed interest in starting Yoga / Meditation or who you feel needs the spiritual support / connection at this challenging time to consider our online offerings while they are stuck at home. I know nothing takes the place of coming together as a community group, in the beautiful and supportive setting of Yogatopia, and having our watchful eyes and firm hands there to adjust and support you.  But, I have absolute confidence in our abilities as professional teachers to guide you through well structured, challenging and uplifting virtual classes and personalised sessions in an online capacity.  Virtual private sessions are now available online via Zoom or FaceTime.  Please email cheree@yogatopia.com.au to request your specific session times.  $10 classes to help with technology and equipment costs. Live online mat classes will run as below for the next 3 weeks.  Monday: 5:30pm Hatha and 7pm Yin Wednesday: 9:45am Hatha  5:30pm Hatha, 7pm Beginners Thursday: 5:30pm Yin Friday:  9:45am Hatha Saturday: 9am Hatha, 10:30am Yin How do the classes work?• We will run our sessions and classes via Zoom• You can book your session by emailing cheree@yogatopia.com.au or request a recurring booking if preferred.• Initially, I will email you links to the meeting time requested.

This is the preferred option as we’ll get a better view of you.We’ll be able to see you most clearly if your laptop is high and on an angle to you. A bed, bookshelf, desk or table should work. Download the zoom app: www://zoom.us/downloadWear clothing that is a different colour to the background of your exercise space. Use a mat or a towel to differentiate the space.An area that is not backlit for us to see you moving bestAll of your props ready to goPhone on silent.
