Fiona Edelstein  offers a range of yoga classes, including Basic, Flow, Restore, Kids yoga and Chi Gung. She was recently featured on HSV7's ' Go for your life! ". her studio, previously named wind and water has recently changed it's name to FLAVOURS OF YOGA - a name that gives a hint to her ever evolving practice , which draws on many subtle spices and various modalities of yoga.

"My personal practice began in 1990, when I completed teacher training at the world renowned Yogaworks in Los Angeles California in 1996 with highly respected teachers, Chuck Miller, Maty Ezraty, and Eddie Modestini . I followed this with an apprenticeship with Rocki Graham, acclaimed in the USA as a leading expert on pre and post-natal yoga. I am a member of the American Yoga Alliance and Yoga Teachers Association of Australia.

"My practice has evolved to include studies in Dragon Gate Chi Gung,Pilates training with Stotts and personal studies of various yoga's and other intelligent movement, breathing and meditation technique's.

I was not one of the physically gifted. I carry a strong memory of what it was like, to be tight and uncomfortable. The practice of  various yoga's has been a tool for change on many levels.  I see yoga as an antidote to the stresses of 21st century living. I aim to educate each student and give them back a personal sense of power. I believe in keeping it simple, accessible and fun. My classes are small,and the individual is seen and receives attention.

"My classes are one hour in duration. I offer a seamless merging of elements of various styles of hatha yoga, chi gung, tecniques  from  Feldenkrais' 'awareness through movement', the five Tibetans, and powerful breathing and meditation practices.All of my classes are one hour in duration with 45 minutes of movement and finish with 15 minutes of deep relaxation when I cover every student with a blanket.

I offer a class suitable for everyone. You do not have to be flexible, strong, co-ordinated or experienced. Just bring yourself, comfortable clothing and a sense of humour, and we can begin.

     .    Basic: Using yoga , chi gung and other intellegent techniques to help release old habits of discomfort.

• Flow: This class uses the same elements as the Basic but builds stamina and heat using sun salutations from various cultures.

• Chi Gung: Ancient Chinese practice for health of simple flowing movements and including meditation and self massage techniques. I incorporarte elements of chi gung into all of my classes.

• Restore: a slow class aimed to restore the body and achieve the benefits of yoga with minimal physical effort.

• Yoga for Kids and parents or carers is a class I inherited recently, and I love. I am teaching kids with their parents, grandparents or carers and if the kids have had enough, my kids will get them doing some art while I give the grown ups a chance to unwind and to do some yoga.

• Workshops....Privates...Corporate...Groups...Individuals:  This yogi is busy and open to new challenges.  I regularly design special programs.I teach individuals, couples and groups, and work as an 'alternative' personal trainer.

• Retreats: We have recently finished our beautiful house, five minutes from the town centre in Warburton. We have an acre and a half of beautiful gardens and incredible views. We also have a self contained two bedroom flat upstairs which we will rent to small groups or families for lovely weekend away, with yoga, massage, workshops, food, ect as an optional extras.. The Villa Apartment comfortably sleeps six to eight .Ring me for more information.    0425 770 464
