That is, spaces will become available as each student finishes their 10 weeks

What this means for students is that the course will run as usual. 
Students will be able to join in week #4 or 6 or 9 or whatever the case may be.
It also means that that there will be slightly less of the progressive building from week to week as there has been….but you will have the opportunity to pick things up as you go….and will end up having attended the full 10 weeks of the course.

All classes are now booked in 10 week blocks

Students will generally be expected to use their 10 classes within the 10 weeks from their first class.

BEGINNERS YOGA
In the beginners courses you will learn about some of the fundamentals of yoga. You will explore the basic principles of the breath and cover all the most commonly practiced seated, standing and lying postures.

Then you will move on to more structured sequences incorporating the breath – including sun salutations – and build on established foundations already learned to explore variations and related postures.

Suitable for complete beginners or those with some yoga experience wanting to get back into a regular practice.

COST for 10-week course $200 full price / $190 concession

Rick established Harvest Yoga 20 years ago.
Today we are a small team of dedicated teachers, presenting yoga classes –   including Beginners and mixed Open Level yoga classes.  
We also teach Somatic Movement classes and Clinical Somatics. 
 
The studio is a beautiful, light-filled space that looks out over Kensington’s glorious old elm trees.
 
What sort of yoga do we teach? 
JUST YOGA. 
Plain and simple.
We make our classes accessible to all.
 

Rick is also a SOMATIC MOVEMENT EDUCATOR.
This includes CLINICAL SOMATICS SESSIONS and SOMATIC MOVEMENT CLASSES (based on the work of Thomas Hanna)

Our experienced and dedicated teachers are informed and inspired by the diverse training and study each has pursued over the years, and by the integrity that many years of yoga practice, study and of teaching brings.

We are passionate about what we teach. 
And we teach and practice mindfully, with care, humour and warmth, and with attention to the ease of every person present.

THERE ARE MANY PATHS TO YOGA…
Most of our classes are Open level – which means they are open to all levels of experience, including Beginners.
We aim in our classes to strike a balance between the physical, the mind and the emotions – through movement, breathing enquiry, relaxation and meditation.

About Us

I would say that you are one of the most inspirational yoga teachers I have met. I enjoy your consistency and authenticity in the weekly classes that I have attended since 2009.

Every time I visit Harvest Yoga studio, I leave with improved spirits, more tranquility and peace. It is impressive that since I have known Harvest Yoga, the studio changes and persistently finds ways to be a relevant and meaningful space to practice.

 

Brigid

Attending Harvest Yoga has enabled me to cope so much better with anxiety.

Practising with Rick has enabled me to meet so many other challenges. I can come to a class feeling very dizzy or uneasy. I can honestly say that attending classes is my salvation. The somatic exercises, meditation and the more challenging poses leave me feeling so much more hopeful and empowered and there is always a laugh or two which is the essence of life I think!

Maria

I have been going to Rick’s class for roughly 7 years and I never tire of it or of him. He is a teacher who continues to discover, educate and enlighten. He is funny but makes you work and encourages you to advance your practice not only through meditation but through ever changing poses and sequences. In his class he inspires a deeper appreciation of yoga and what it can do for you. Most of all I love Rick’s class simply because of the effects it has over the following week, thus I keep going back!

Ema

I started coming to Harvest Yoga in 2012 after a personally challenging time. I had tried Yoga a couple of times previously, but could never connect. When I arrived at Harvest Yoga I knew I had found the right place. The organic calming vibe of your studio in Kensington speaks volumes, it is an oasis for body and soul to recharge from the crazy demands of our busy lives.

Over the years, your classes have definitely helped to address problem areas in my body – the hamstrings, the crooked hips, the tight shoulders and sore neck – and my soul. I can’t thank you enough for that!

Chris

I have done a lot of yoga classes over the years and have a clear feeling of what works for me. These classes are about yoga – in its fuller sense – not just some physical exercise but the practice of bringing mindfulness to movement. The studio is a treat in itself. What can I say – it smells good, looks good, feels good and is the perfect environment for an early morning class.

Carla

I’ve always loved how you so easily moderate the poses especially when I’ve needed a challenge or to pull back due to an injury.
The biggest thing I’ve always taken from your class is the notion to be playful with a pose – to find yourself in a pose through breathing and exploring it and to have a renewed sense of awareness for the practice whilst keep the integrity of the pose/movement.

Cam Tu

Harvest Yoga is a haven. A beautiful and restful studio in all seasons. I like to watch the trees or a sunset through the windows onto Epsom Rd. I like to see the sky and hear the magpies carolling when the doors are open on a summer’s evening.

Sally

Firstly, thank you Belinda and Harvest Yoga for having a mums and bubs yoga class available. Best thing ever!!!! The twins and I loved coming to the class to connect with other mums and babies. I really enjoyed learning how to incorporate baby massage and baby yoga into our daily interactions. The twins loved coming and Edward enjoyed being the “demonstrator”. Even if I was having a crazy day at home you offer a beautiful calm and peaceful space that just helped me to relax. Belinda is a fantastic teacher with so much experience being a mum herself it was very reassuring during those times that my babies were unsettled and I felt very supported and cared for.
