Prana Flow Classes

Prana Flow Yoga Teacher trainees with Twee Merrigan

For information on Prana Flow Yoga classes in Wellington please see the Yoga Sangha page.

Kara-Leah is now teaching Prana Flow classes at The Dunedin Yoga Studio, Monday nights @ 7:30pm.

Classes are 90 minutes long, and mats are provided. The room is not heated for these classes, but is still a lovely warm temperature, so come prepared to sweat.

Why yoga?

The short answer is that yoga makes you feel good. Practicing the postures, breathing exercises and meditation makes you healthier in body, mind and spirit. Yoga can help with anxiety, arthritis, asthma, back pain, blood pressure, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, headaches, stress and other conditions and diseases.

And that’s just the surface stuff. In fact, most of the benefits mentioned above are secondary to yoga’s original purpose, which is to find lasting happiness and peace of mind. Come along and find out for yourself!

What level are the classes aimed at?

The classes are suitable for all levels – beginners, intermediate and advanced. Prana Flow Yoga is all about listening to your body and working within it’s range of movement and strength. Variations are given for most postures so students can work at their own level. Please note, all beginners need to start on the Monday night classes.

What do I need to know before I show up?

Don’t eat at least an hour, preferably two hours, before class. Wear comfortable clothing that you can easily move in and go upside down in. And come ready to have some fun!
