At Tidy Temple Yoga we teach a variety of yoga styles. Our primary focus from 2016 are vinyasa based “Yoga Flow” inspired by the Baptiste Yoga methodology of self leadership and empowerment and “YogaBasics” – both stemming from the traditions of Iyengar yoga and Ashtanga yoga. We offer a total class experience incorporating physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation (pratyahara, dharana, dhyana), relaxation (savasana, yoga nidra) & philosophy. We aim to connect with people, build community and teach from intuition and authenticity.
The Club caters for both race and fitness walkers. Racewalking is an Olympic sport where competitors need to comply with rules set by the International Amateur Athletics Federation (see below). Racewalking events are always judged and competitors can be disqualified. Fitness walking is a term we use for all other walkers. Its also been called ‘power walking’ and ‘sport walking. The only rule is that you don’t run.
We have two main seasons, they are the winter season that is held at various venues around Canberra on a Saturday afternoon and we also have a summer season with track walks being held at the AIS Stadium every Thursday evening. Club members also have the opportunity to compete in racewalking events around the country on a regular basis
We have walkers of all ages from five to eighty five plus and walkers of all abilities.
At all our events, you can choose between a long and short distance meaning you can choose the distance that you feel comfortable with. We have fast and slow walkers so you probably won’t come last. Even if you do, we’ll show you how to improve. We also have regular handicap starts so that everyone gets an equal chance of winning.
You can walk as fast or slow as you wish. No matter whether you’re a race or fitness walker, walking fast uses your arms vigorously, giving you a full body work-out.
Why yoga?
Yoga is for everyone, for fitness, fun and flexibility, without competition or any feelings of intimidation, and in today’s hectic world, we need yoga to bring balance to our lives.
Yoga is not just for the super flexible, it builds strength, cardio vascular fitness, and of course develops balance. But it is more than just exercise, it is the combination of movement, breath and the mind, the perfect trilogy for staying fit and healthy in today’s hectic world.
What makes Balanced Yoga so special?
Our studio is not a gym, but a peaceful, comfortable and open space, designed to provide the perfect setting for you to strengthen your muscles, stretch, relax and escape from the outside world.
