Dharma Circle

Dharma Circle Collective is a meditation and yoga space created to support dedicated practice and awakening through the deep inquiry into the nature of mind and the lived experience. 

Dharma Circle Collective is NOT your average yoga studio - if you have ever been curious about the deeper dimension of yoga but haven't known how to move beyond the physical practice or perhaps you've not felt comfortable (or flexible enough) to even venture into a class in the first instance...then this is your place! 

Classes

Hatha Yoga

The Sunday 2hour session with Samantha take a particularly relaxed and spacious approach to yoga practice. Focusing particularly on embodied awareness through the exploration of slow and integrated movements and breath.  The meditative feel of the class allows the body and mind to open beyond the regular holding patterns of guarding and/or over effort-ing  (habits that often keep us tense, in pain or disconnected).

Meditation

Meditation helps cultivate steadiness in the open ground of awareness. It provides a sense of space and clarity, which in turn uncovers and nourishes a deep receptivity to life. With ongoing practice it is possible to allow the mind to rest – more and more effortlessly – in a calm and alert start. From here we are able to turn our attention to the nature of experience, gaining insight that helps move us beyond our habitual tendencies, perceptions and reactions. 

Pranayama

Pranayama is as powerful as it is beautiful and a vital component of a well-rounded yoga practice. It is a portal to the divine essence which links asana (physical postures) and the experience of samadhi (deep meditation).  

All other Pranayama sessions are best suited for anyone familiar with Pranayama with an interest to explore a the subtle breath.
