AUG | POSTURE CLINIC #2
What to expect:
A deep-dive into the postures that make up the seperate leg series and the transition postures. When: Saturday 23 August, 1-3pm Where: Kapiti Hot Yoga Investment: $55 p/person |
Come and join Anj and the Teachers for the second in our series of Posture Clinics. In this one, we will deep dive into the postures that make up the Seperate Leg Series, along with the two postures that transition us to the floor, so everything from Standing Seperate Leg Stretching to the infamous Toe Stand!
Here is what one of the students from the last Posture Clinic had to say! I had such a great experience at the posture workshop..t was incredibly helpful to be reminded of the why behind each pose—not just how to do them, but what we’re aiming for and how to progress with manageable, thoughtful steps. The workshop struck a perfect balance: accessible and encouraging for beginners, while still offering plenty of insight and challenge for those of us who have been practising for a while. I left feeling both grounded and inspired. Highly recommend!

ONLINE | Hot Yoga Through a Somatic Lens
Kapiti Hot Yoga, is thrilled to be hosting Travelling Teacher Danielle Darcy in this 3-hour workshop, which will deep dive into the foundations of 26+2 Hot Yoga, the lineage, the essence, the energetics, the politics, the science and the psychology.
Weaving 10 years of experience teaching hot yoga and embodied meditation with somatic therapy and group facilitation, Danielle will explore what it is to practise yoga from a place of embodied presence. Presence with all that is. What happens when we arrive on our mats with nothing but curiosity - no goals or outcomes other than to land.
Covering breath awareness, somatic assessment, compassionate enquiry and embodied boundaries, Danielle will look at hot yoga as a practise that supports a greater capacity for intensity - which equates to a greater capacity for holding the full spectrum of life. How this practise can help you open to life, and transform your life - mentally, emotionally, physically and physiologically.
Everything we cover in this workshop is transferable - you will learn tools that you can use in other classes, at the gym, at work and at home. Tools that will help you better understand your self, your habits, patterns and loops. That will inevitably support you to be a better human - treating your body, this earth and the humans around you with more tenderness.
If you have been practising hot yoga for a while this might be a beautiful opportunity to understand what has drawn you to this particular style of yoga and bring a deeper awareness to the ways it has been subtly shifting how you move in the world.
