20.01.2022 SURYA NAMASKAR IS A MOVING PRAYER by Chuck Miller This is no ordinary act. Your full power of attention is focused on the present moment. Dive deep within yourself to discover the power of the sun that resides in every cell and impulse of who and what you are. Move slowly with awareness. Movement and breath are intimately linked. As the breath becomes deeper and slower the movements also follow. No hurry. Lengthening the breath is symbolic of, and has the effect of, lengtheni...Continue reading

16.01.2022 Spring has us blooming with good vibes and we want to offer you something special. From 8th to the 30th of September you can purchase a Reformer Pilates 10 class pass for $200 (usually $240). That works out to $20 per class, which is perfect if youre wanting more Reformer Pilates after your 10 day trial! https://www.zamayoga.com.au/reformer-pilates-september-spe/ *Can only be purchased once per client. 3 month expiry from first class on pass.

15.01.2022 PYRAMID POSE FOR SEPTEMBER Were welcoming the change of season with Pyramid Pose as our Pose of the Month for September. Its also known as Intense Side Stretch Pose with Parsva meaning side or flank, and Uttana implies an intense stretch. The name of this asana refers to a pose that stretches the side of the chest intensely. Theres lots of fun variations of this pose. Hands can stay on hips, or you can try joining your palms together behind your back in reverse prayer or h...olding opposite elbows. You can also reach the hands to the ground and use blocks if they dont quite get there. Try making it deeper by extending the arms forward without laying on top of the thigh, or reaching the arms backwards to the back heel. If youre feeling spicy try lift the back foot off the ground for a balance like a tripod! This is a great pose to transition into poses like Revolved Triangle Pose & Revolved Half Moon Pose. Read how to get into the pose here: www.zamayoga.com.au/pyramid-pose-for-september/

15.01.2022 Whether you are transitioning back into the world, or staying inside for a bit longer, now is a great time to turn your passion into a career by enrolling into one of Zamas online courses. For 10 days only receive $50 off your next online training course when you enrol by using the code: YESPLEASE50 *Code expires 10th August 2020. Code can only be used once per student. Cannot be used in bundle courses.... www.zamayoga.com.au/yoga-pilates-courses-training/

15.01.2022 Because were so excited that the studio is open again, we are making this heart opening our pose of the month! Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) is a staple in every yoga class as it strengthens, rejuvenates and increases the flexibility of the spine and also stretches and opens the abdomen, chest, lungs and shoulders. The biggest thing is to not overdo the backbend. To find the height at which you can work comfortably and avoid straining your back, start by taking your hands off th...e floor for a moment in a Baby Cobra. This is a great way to help strengthen the muscles in the mid-back before moving into the full version of the pose. Placing your elbows down in Sphinx Pose is always a great option too if you find Cobra too much for your low back. If youre particularly bendy try King Cobra by bending your knees and touching your toes to your head! Striking Cobra is also a fun variation where you bend the elbows and bring the fingertips out to the sides to press up and lift through the chest. Learn more about the benefits and how to get into the pose on our blog: www.zamayoga.com.au/cobra-pose-for-july/

14.01.2022 We know how much you love our memes, so to celebrate our 10th Birthday, weve digged through the archives to find you your favourite memes OF ALL TIME!! Get ready to cry with laughter, heres number one!

14.01.2022 With the recent new cases in Brisbane we want to let you know that we are doing everything to keep the studio COVID-Safe. To help us we just need a few things from you to help keep our space safe and open for everybody. We ask that you: - Sanitise hands at the front desk on arrival. ... - Bring your own mat. We are suspending mat hire, and have mats available at the studio for purchase if you do not own one. - Bolsters are only to be used if you bring a full-sized towel or blanket to cover the whole bolster. A face towel or a jumper is not acceptable. - Roll your mat back from a white line. - Wipe down the area around your mat with the gym wipes, especially after hot classes. - Blocks, resistance bands and hand weights are still available for use and must be thoroughly wiped down after use. - We encourage for you to bring your own props where possible. - Lockers are to be wiped down inside and also outside if used. - If you notice that the wipe dispenser is empty please let your teacher know.

Well, you’re pretty close but one thing that makes yoga even better is doing it with a friend!

06.01.2022 One more week! Until the end of July take 20% off full price yoga mats & props

06.01.2022 How have we never done Downward Facing Dog before? Well you're in luck, throughout November we'll be making this posture as our Pose of the Month! This pose resembles a dog that stretches itself with its head and forelegs in the downward direction and the hind legs in the upward direction, hence its name. What distance should your hands and feet be in Down Dog? Well it depends! A good way to practice from Childs Pose to find the length along the spine and sides of the body, o...r if you're doing a Vinyasa class the distance can be from Plank Pose. If you are slipping and sliding step the feet in a smidge (that's Sanskrit for a little), towards your hands. Traditionally your head and heels are supposed to touch the ground, but some bodies just can't do that and that's okay. Bend the knees to help lift the hips a little higher to get length along the spine. There's so many fun variations in Downward Facing Dog like lifting one leg up for three-legged dog, reaching your hand underneath the body to the opposite leg for Twisting Dog, or holding the leg with the same arm and lifting the other leg up to the sky for Dharma Dog.

05.01.2022 TOOWOOMBA the wait is over! Yoga is BACK 6 July at the same beautiful location with all your fav old classes!

04.01.2022 TOOWONG IS OPEN! It has been SO GOOD seeing you in the studio. Weve got a couple of spaces left for 6:30pm VinYin tonight by @allthosefreckles

04.01.2022 From today all 5:15pm classes have a new start time of 5:20pm to give you that little extra time to get here from work

04.01.2022 Stage 3 is effective from 12pm Friday 3rd of July! We are so excited for this because it allows us to go back to full capacity, which means that you dont have to book into Yoga, Mat Pilates or Barre classes anymore, woohoo! From tomorrow afternoon you can simply just turn up to the studio like you did before. We ask that you still come a little bit earlier to secure a spot though as first in is first served. You will need to roll your mat back from a white line to keep socia...lly distanced, and Barre will be increased to 4 students per barre. As we are only allowed 50 people into the studio at one time, you may still have to wait outside if there is a class beforehand. More good news is that we will be transitioning some props back for use. We still encourage bringing your own, and we just ask that you give any props a good wipe down after you use them. For Yin and VinYin classes please bring a towel or a pillow case that you can place over a bolster so you can get super comfy and cozy again! Let us know if you have any questions by emailing us at [email protected]. We thank you all for your support, and we are so thrilled for this new normal!

02.01.2022 Reformer is BACK!!! See you on Thursday 4 June Toowoomba Zamis! Book online now: https://www.zamayoga.com.au//toowoombayogapilatesbarretim/ You can use your existing class passes or pay for a casual class $25. ... Social distancing and strict cleaning will be in place. Government restrictions still limit total customer numbers in yoga and Pilates studios (it is not 20 per room, it is 20 per venue). As we navigate this and start to reopen the doors, we need to ensure we are doing so in a way that serves all of our members best. Reformer classes are fairly well impossible to run online so they trump right now!

02.01.2022 Unfortunately we have had to cancel our 6:30pm mat Pilates class tonight at Toowong. If you can, come along to our 5:15pm Hot Vinyasa We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience!

02.01.2022 Visit our friends across the road at KALDI and show your Zama tag to get granola & a coffee for $10!

We want to offer anyone who signs up to the Ongoing Membership to enjoy unlimited Yoga, Mat Pilates & Barre classes at the new client rate of $50 per fortnight and receive the first two weeks free*!

If you are a member on the $60 Ongoing Membership, you are able to switch to the START FRESH membership.

Check out the conditions and sign up here: https://www.zamayoga.com.au/start-fresh-with-two-weeks-free/

01.01.2022 To celebrate Reformer Pilates coming to our Toowong studio weve made Side Leg Lift our Pose of the Month for August! This movement strengthens the buttocks & legs, stabilises the core, and elongates the obliques. You can start this exercise by either lying completely on your side and stacking the ankles, knees, hips and shoulders on top of each other, or bending the bottom leg for a bit more stability. You can also start from a kneeling position with the bottom hand under th...e shoulder and the opposite leg out long. On an inhale raise the leg to hip height with the foot pointed keeping the hips nice and stable, making sure to not let the hips tilt forward or back. On an exhale flex the foot to lower the leg. In Reformer Pilates you can leave the leg up at hip height and reach the top arm with a strap to the ceiling stacking the shoulders and then bring the palm down to the side of the leg. In Yoga you can play with a flow from Gate Pose leaning to one side and then a side leg lift on the other side.
