Surya Tara Yoga

why surya tara yoga?

Creating inner balance is our main focus at Surya Tara yoga. The mind, body and soul are three aspects of our being ~ whilst practising our postures and alignment, we create inner strength , observe what comes up in the mind, and create space for nurturing our souls.

We offer a wide range of classes from private yoga instruction to kids classes, beginner introduction courses, to general classes for those who have been practising a while. Everyone is welcome from beginner to experienced.

when?

Our yoga classes are offered at various times during the week – from morning to evening, and most weekdays. Check out our yoga class calendar to find out which class and time suits you. Please note we also offer private classes.

who are we?

We are a small yoga studio with classes running on most days with an emphasis on attending to the needs of the individual. Our classes are usually 5-10 people in size and and are held at the the Hallett Cove Lions Club on Quailo Avenue, the old original Perry Barr Farm. This old restored barn is perfect for yoga, with a great ambiance and plenty of space. We have a range of classes to suit different levels and needs, from classes based on gentle stretching and meditative practices to the more dynamic morning classes. The style of yoga we practise is mostly based on alignment, but we tailor the yoga to suit the needs of our students. The aim of our classes is to quieten the mind, to establish a strong connection between the mind and body, and to find the joy in our hearts. This is yoga.

The studio is owned and run by myself, Ruth Stanton – I teach most of the classes, and I am lucky to have other teachers – Mel Pfueller, Ahilya Horsfall and Shannon Banyer sharing the space with me. We look forward to sharing our experience of yoga with you.

Shannon Banyer is a “Radiant Child Yoga” certified childrens yoga teacher, and her classes are suited to children aged 3 to 10. The classes run on a Friday afternoon after school at our studio, and it’s a great way to introduce yoga to children in a relaxed, playful environment. Our aim to create a supportive space where kids can be themselves and have fun learning about the importance of taking car of the mind, body and soul.
