FUNDAMENTALS of YOGA -
a 4- week, theme-based beginner's yoga course
When - on Sat mornings or Thurs
evening (to be decided asap) starting from the 1st or 2nd week of June, 6pm-7:30pm
Where - The Anti-Aging Clinic, 10 Kloof Street, Sea Point
What - You will be taken through a process consisting of a weekly class based on themes as well as home practice. You will be encouraged to practice during the week, as well as sense how the themes relates through other aspects of your life. The idea is to give you a solid foundation, and a focus on subtleties in your yoga practice.
The approach will allow you to become truly familiar with and integrate a yoga practice into your life, empowering you with a practice that you can take anywhere and that you can draw from whenever you need or are inspired. Thework we will do is rich with imagery and multi-dimensional – so that the yoga practice becomes truly felt – an enjoyable process rather than a gruelling regimen, one that will give you insight as well as tools to work with in other areasof your life.
A few of the themes that we will cover are stillness, acceptance, rhythm, flow, stability and change, stimulation, relaxation and integration and you will be encouraged to contemplate them in other aspects of your life. A follow-on course will explore the natural elements, earth, water, air and fire in our bodies and how we can use them to inspire our practice.
The price will be R380 for the full 4-weeks, a R200 deposit will be required to secure your place.Notes and guidelines for self-practice are included

Start saving now from as little as R250 per month. In most instances you can claim back your contribution from SARS and receive a refund from them. Why not let the government help you fund your retirement?
Most of us dream about our retirement and how we will have time to do the things that we do not have time for during our working lives. However, most people will not realise their dreams, simply because they will not be able to afford to do so. In South Africa, less then 6% of people are able to retire financial independent. The adage of “Failing to plan is planning to fail” is most applicable to this area of financial planning.
The success of a retirement plan is largely dependent on how early in your life you start doing something about it. Terence Tobin (of My Money) is offering a free analysis that will assist you in determining a suitable retirement age and setting realistic income objectives. It aims at ensuring that you are able to maintain that standard of living throughout your retirement. This advice process concludes with the recommendation of options (both traditional and non-traditional) as an integral part of your retirement stategy.

SPIRITUAL HEALING FREE WORKSHOP
There is not one malady or disease that cannot be healed on this earth
It is our (and no-body can do it for us) unadulterated, pure, uninterrupted belief in this knowledge that will determine our healing and our health and the speed with which we achieve it – we can do it – know it – and do it!
This information is from the original pure teachings of the Great White Brotherhood, ‘The Bridge to Freedom’ and ‘Saint Germain Press’ material only. Nothing of my own is added and I have changed nothing. (Anthea)
These are the most profound teachings of truth and wisdom I have ever come across. These teachings are the same ancient truths and LAWS OF LIFE found in all sacred texts, introduced in a modern and easy to apply format.
