Teacher Spotlight for June is Carly Ponter 💜 .

Teacher Spotlight for June is Carly Ponter 💜
.
Here she shares with us her yoga story:
1. How long have you been practising and teaching yoga? .
I’ve been practicing yoga since I was about 16 years old, but mostly just here and there, certainly not super committed in those beginning years. I got significantly more invested about 7 years ago, so much so, that I decided to do my teacher training. I finished my first YTT about 5 years ago and somewhat fell into teaching opportunities almost immediately after completion and I haven’t really looked back since!
.

2. What’s your preference Livestream or In-studio for teaching?
.
I think live stream classes have most certainly served a purpose of late, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to continue to connect with people during this tumultuous time - but nothing beats the atmosphere of in person teaching. There’s something really potent about a room full of people all moving and breathing together as a collective, there’s an energy and a vibe created that just doesn’t translate through the camera. BUT... I do have to say that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being able to just roll out of bed and practice or teach from the comfort of my home though 😝
.

3. Why did you start practising yoga and what motivated you to want to teach?
.
Yoga was initially just to compliment my training in the gym or at netball. Over the years though, as my training shifted, yoga was something that I always kept coming back to, no matter what, and I realised that I loved it for a whole lot of other reasons rather then just to ’stretch out’ after a run or whatever it was that I was doing.
I started teaching because I felt such great benefits from yoga, I wanted to share that with other people. I was also just excited to empower and educate people about their bodies and minds.

ONLY 2 Days Until Studio Re-Opening!! + new FREE C

ONLY 2 Days Until Studio Re-Opening!! + new FREE Class 💜
.
The theme of this class is the yogic teaching of dharana which means concentration and is the 6th limb of yoga practice.
.
There are so many distractions these days. We are bombarded with stimulus from the moment we wake up and check our phones and even in our yoga practice there’s many things we can choose to focus our attention on.
.
We can focus on the breath, we can focus on observing our 'mind chatter', we can focus our drishti on the tip of our nose, we can also focus on the physical sensations of our body in any given pose.
.
This process of honing our attention, consciously directing our attention to a 1 pointed focus, whatever that is, is the practice of dharana and helps to strengthen the minds concentration muscle kind of like going to the gym and doing a workout, it really needs to be trained and tamed.
.
In this class, as we move through a complete, well rounded series of postures, I’m going to invite you to use the sensations of your body as focal points for your attention as your practice of dharana.
