Studio Update - Oct.2021

To our amazing Community,

We understand how important the service we offer is, particularly during these very challenging times. Yoga and meditation are very important tools to help us navigate at all times, particularly in times of crisis.   

After we got the green light from the NSW Government to re-open from Oct.11th, at first we hoped it would be the right time to open our doors again, even if for only 20 members per class. But as we continued to receive updates regarding the restrictions to open next week, we had to think back and forth and analyze all possibilities from all different angles.

So we made the tough decision to wait, and we will see you back in our sacred space from December 1st. We have never been about division at Yoga Body Works, and are certainly not about turning people away.

We will be continuing with our Online Live classes from the studio with your favorite instructors until the end of November, and will open our doors as an inclusive space for teachers and students alike.

We can't wait to share the practice and the space with you all, and thank you so much for all your love and support.

YOGA BODY WORKS

We acknowledge the Awabakal people, the original custodians of the land on which we live and work each day, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. 

At YogaBodyWorks we believe in the power of community. We're proud of the people who walk through our doors each day for the support they provide us and each other. In fact, we work hard to foster this sense of community because it is a source of inspiration for us too.

We believe in the transformative power of yoga but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Our teachers also work in schools, universities and city councils. They are students, artists and designers. We believe this diversity is one of our strengths because it allows us to speak from diverse perspectives and broad experience providing depth to our understanding of yoga.

At YogaBodyWorks we make real the ethical and spiritual values that lie at the heart of yoga. We work hard to create a real sense of community. We're here to share the yoga journey with as many Novocastrians as we can. This is a philosophy that underpins our personal practice as well as our work here at the studio, fostering comaraderie and reducing competition (most of all with ourselves).

A powerful way of building community within our studio is to reach out to the wider community through fundraising and awareness-raising activities. Our intention is to assist those in need in the Newcastle community and further afield, and to help those already doing this in any way we can.

Join our community and experience the freedom of transformation for your mind, body and spirit. Take advantage of our Introductory Offer, 10 days of consecutive yoga for just $30, and see for yourself why these are the two fastest growing styles of yoga in the World.

Love from the entire Yoga Body Works Team.

Yoga & Your Shoulders

One of the first things people notice about yoga is it’s great for conditioning the body. We become stronger and more flexible, breathe better and feel more alive. Over time, however, especially when we’ve been practicing a lot, we might notice the odd twinge here or ache there and we wonder if it’s yoga’s ‘fault’…
