MYOGA is a fusion of influences woven together, including traditional asanas (physical postures from a broad variety of yoga styles), pranayama (breath control practices) & mudras (the yoga of hand symbols) as well as meditation in motion, sound, laughter, core awareness, & Structural Yoga Therapy. These are like tools in a tool box, each one chosen because it is currently the most effective & efficient tool for the job at hand. Since one of the main tenets of MYOGA is personal & community evolution, the practice itself has evolved (& hopefully continues to evolve!) over the years. We, as teachers, learn as much from you as we do from our own teachers.
The most current weaving of this MYOGA fabric is a Seasonal Structure that honors the changing seasons both within & without our individual bodies.
MYOGA is focused on bringing yoga to the people, on making the practice accessible to the modern human Being & on developing ourselves individually yet within the web of community. MYOGA can be found in its home, the Powa Centre, at all 3 Wellington Configure Women's gyms, at Freyberg Aquatic Centre & in a variety of corporate offices within Te Aro.
As we focus on cultivating the inner teacher & uncovering the wisdom within, the practice deepens & broadens. In 2009 MYOGA graduated 5 women from the innaugural MYOGA Apprentice Programme, a 9 month, 200+ hour intensive teacher training.
