Class Schedule 

Vera Vidya Classes
DYNAMIC VINYASA- Energise and Lengthen.
Our signature class, Dynamic Vinyasa is an energetic practice that builds heat, strength, flexibility and endurance. “Vinyasa” means “breath-synchronized movement”. In other words you inhale to move one way and exhale to move another and with all the breaths you are going to be taking you will have had a whole lot of action by the end of class. It maybe fast or slow depending on the individuals and the teacher in the room. 
Why do people love Vinyasa Flow? Because it is an empowering practice that will support you to explore and embrace the edges of your own potential. You will walk out of class feeling energised, grounded and completely chilled. Just they way we like it.
YIN- Release
Find the balance. Still the body and the mind. Yin is a gentle mediative practice targeting the connective tissue, tendons, fascia and ligaments. It is excellent for joint mobility, flexibility and reducing tension resulting in a deep, integrated and satisfying practice. Yin uses passive and relaxing poses that are held for longer to activate the PNS (parasympathetic nervous system – rest and digest) and work on the meridian lines within your body. 
All levels welcome. 
RESTORITVE YIN- Relax
Slow, gentle and deeply relaxing yoga class. The perfect way to take the time out you are looking for. The restorative class involves an adaption of classical yoga using props and holding postures to open and stretch the body. This class is gentle, and with the availability of props, it is accessible to everyone especially beginners, pre and post natal. It is particularly effective in reducing stress, anxiety and sleep disruptions. 
Excellent for desk-bound people who are looking to find greater flexibility and range of motion. 
REMEDIAL- Heal
Remedial is a gentle practice that re-creates balance in the body and harmony in the mind. It works through mobilisation and stabilisation of the joints. A slow calm breath is used throughout the practice to allow the energy to move more freely within the body, creating more space and ease when coming in and out of each pose. It is ideal for anyone working through injuries, limitation or specific needs. Our awesome teachers will step you through each pose helping you work with your individual body.. 
MOBILITY & CORE- Strength 
Functional dynamic stretching and strengthening
Do you ever wish you could have all the benefits of yoga without the bells and whistles? This is the class thats gets you just that. 
With mobility and core you will build your strength (think toned arms, legs & core), flexibility and endurance. It is a must class for cyclists, runners & sports enthusiasts. It gets the body fired up and ready to train at its best whilst incorporating all the stretch & mobility benefits of yoga.
YOGA FOR BEGINNERS
Never tried Yoga or want to revisit your technique, we have got you covered. This class was designed to talk you through all things Yoga: different types of classes, different poses and how to get the best out of each pose for your body, how to start to listen to your body and switch off your mind… something we all struggle with. Come and build your confidence on the matt. 
PRIVATE YOGA CLASSES
All our senior teachers are available for private Yoga classes. This is a great option if you are interested in a tailored one on one program or you have a group of friends gathering together for an event. We recommend private sessions for all our yoga students to ensure you get the most out of every yoga practice.

the word on the street
Don't Take It From Us...
"When I was younger I was fairly flexible, but the older I got this just deteriorated, posture, strength. Getting back to yoga has been a life saver, physically, mentally , spiritually. It is not just exercise, it is meditative and calming. It addresses the mind and body. I notice that on the days I practice my whole being says "thank you’.
If you are looking for something more personal, introspective and caring, try yoga. The yoga studio is beautiful. Your body and mind will thank you!"
Deborah Turner
Over the years I have joined up with many a yoga/ pilates studio, gym membership and personal trainers- and have faded from heights of enthusiasm and commitment to a lack of effort and eventual lethargy!
A monumental shift in my wellbeing last year led me to having a chat with AFA and straight away, I knew this was going to be different.
Ali’s unparalleled knowledge, her attention to listening to “where I was at” and her commitment to support me was both obvious and heartening. The Pinnacle Program was to be my new way of life!
Ali and her amazing team have the depth of understanding for each person’s needs, compassion for each person’s situation, and a driving force and unwavering commitment to motivate and guide each person to reach their best level of holistic wellbeing - and beyond!
I am sure I speak on behalf of many when I say that the exemplary efforts, the hours and hours of time, and immeasurable commitment of Ali and her formidable team both behind the scenes and in front of the camera have been recognised through the admiration, appreciation and immense gratitude of all- for me personally it has been highly beneficial on all levels-and literally life-saving!
Andra Muller
I was apprehensive about attending my first mobility and core class. No way could I touch my toes or even consider myself flexible. I had my arm twisted by one of the trainers at AFA to go and I have not looked back. It took me around 1 km to warm up for park run but now I go to class at 6.45am, warm my body up and am firing by the time I hit the oval at 8am. I have slashed over 2 minutes of my PB since starting to improve my flexibility. 
It does not matter what level you are, from a complete beginner who has never stepped foot in a studio, to someone who attends regularly. There are options and levels for every exercise.
If you are thinking about going but feel intimidated, suck it up and have a go. Take it for me its worth doing.
