30 YEARS today 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you to everyone who turned up early this morning for our 6 am class to celebrate together on the mat. We had a fun class with “30 poses for 30 years”, followed by a nice cafe breakfast in Hamilton.

More celebrations on the weekend. Please book in via Punchpass if you want to come along.

Thank you also to all well-wishers via email and messages. Much appreciated.

30 YEARS
25th September - from 1996 to 2026
Reminiscing about the early days of this yoga school...

When I first established my school, ‘Novocastrian School of Yoga’ in 1996, the yoga community in Newcastle was small enough that you knew all the other teachers in some way or the other. Classes were often held in community halls, surf clubs, school rooms and people's homes. Word of mouth was often the best advertising, as were the pinned flyers in bookshops and cafes (well before the online social media void started).

From Novocastrian School of Yoga to Hamilton Yoga, the Newcastle yoga boom, to 30 years as a Hamilton business.

30th ANNIVERSARY
1996 to 2026

On the 25th of September, our yoga school celebrates its 30th anniversary!! What a milestone!!

What started as the 'Novocastrian School of Yoga' in 1996, with David as a young, enthusiastic, 28-year-old, wet-behind-the-ears teacher, has blossomed into the school it is today.

Thank you to every single person who stepped onto the mat with me or the other teachers at our school over these past three decades. I am still reflecting on the early days and look forward to sharing some of those memories with you. More to come!

To celebrate:
** Join a special FREE CLASS on 25th September @ 6 am with me. Book here: https://hamiltonyoga.punchpass.com/classes/20594836e,
** or come to our Saturday gathering with a pot-luck dinner, details to be confirmed. Stay tuned.

🙏🕉️
Namaste, David

KURMASANA
Tortoise Pose

Steady, quiet and inward-looking, Kurmasana, or Tortoise Pose, is dedicated to Kurma, the tortoise incarnation of Visnu.

During our Forward Bends week, Kurmasana was one of the poses explored in our advanced classes. As with many deeper forward bends, the journey into the pose begins well before the final shape.

We prepared the hips and hamstrings through a series of opening asanas, with particular attention to Prasarita Padottanasana, the wide-legged standing forward bend. As per B.K.S. Iyengar’s instructions in Light on Yoga, we worked towards the precise alignment of bringing the hands, feet and head into one line.

Kurmasana is a challenging pose, but also a reminder that in yoga, the depth of an asana comes through preparation, patience and practice.
