Greetings Friends,
As we reflect upon 2017 so far, we can see what a busy yet wonderful start to the year it has been. Hard to believe that winter is almost here! We hope this first part of the year has been kind and full of abundance for you. As we move into the season of introspection, long nights and indoor practices, what is your plan to cultivate vitality this winter? Read about our WINTER YOGA SCHEDULE below, to help keep you warm and bright.
To celebrate midwinter, we invite you to come together on the first weekend of July with International guest teacher Ross Rayburn. We’re excited about a weekend of yoga, connection, learning and fun with Ross. Ross was one of the lead certified teachers of Anusara Yoga, a major influence upon the type of yoga we practice here. He is known for teaching some of the most sophisticated aspects of yoga with passion, humor and clarity. Ross has focused on yoga therapeutics for the last 11 years and has worked with a number of professional athletes and dancers. He has taught internationally over 50 therapeutic trainings to hundreds of teachers and students, including physical therapists and medical doctors. Be part of the experience, full weekend details here.
A huge thank you to our teachers and aspiring teachers for donating their time to teach our Sunday Community class. So far this year we have donated to the ‘Westpac Helicopter Trust’, the ‘Port Hills Mayoral Fund’ and the ‘Give a Little’ page set up for the widow and children of ‘Steve Askin’ (Port Hills Helicopter Pilot). Currently our classes are supporting the North Island ‘Red Cross Flood Appeal’. As a community, we have achieved a lot in such a short space of time. What do you hope to accomplish this winter?
Remember, as the days get shorter the studio will be warm and toasty with great company to enjoy. Make yoga your winter hobby, and do lots of it!
With gratitude & love,
Cara & Veronica, and The Grassroots Team

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOGA RESTORE & DEEP CALM ?
Yoga Restore is all about relaxing and letting go into the support of props. No effort is required and the experience can almost feel like suspended sleep. Suitable for yogis at any stage of their journey.
Deep Calm is an incredibly potent practice which requires active engagement. The poses are held longer and you do a smaller number of poses, held to promote deep tissue release. This practice is soothing and calming in its after taste. Students have reported better sleep and emotional unwinding as a result of regular practice. Suitable for yogis with existing yoga experience, not ideal for total beginners.
