who we are

The vision for Modern Movement is yoga with purpose. Ask why, and let that curiosity inspire your movement, your breath and your potential. We create an experience that offers more than just a good sweat (though you’ll definitely get that!) and moves deeper than just the physical body. It’s steeped in ancient wisdom, tradition and deep connection. But it doesn’t stop there; it’s an evolution from the roots of yoga into the modern world of functional movement, psychology, and anatomical biomechanics. We blend the best of where we’ve been, with the intelligence and potential of where we’re going. That’s why we offer more than just traditional yoga.

KARA ⁣ There is so much to love about the human

KARA
⁣
There is so much to love about the human sitting here! Kara is a bubbling ray of sunshine, oozing passion and sincerity out onto everything she touches. She has a grounded sense of self knowing that is far beyond her years.
⁣
And here’s a fun fact:
Kara graduated our yoga teacher training program last year and has since devoted herself to the practice and the teachings of yoga.
⁣
This girl was born a teacher and we couldn’t be more grateful to be a small part of her journey and to welcome her onto our Mona Vale timetable 🙌🏼
⁣
Catch her on the teachers’ mat every Monday at 6:00am for an intelligent and playful vinyasa practice that will leave you floating for the rest of the week.

What is Yoga? ⠀⠀ “Yoga begins with listening

What is Yoga?
⠀⠀
“Yoga begins with listening.
When we listen we are giving space to what really is. We are allowing other people to be what they are, and we are sanctioning our own bodies and our own minds to fully manifest.
⠀⠀
Yoga also begins with the present moment. Many classic texts, such as the Yoga Sutra by Patanjali; start with the word Atha, meaning ‘now’. Which refers to this very notion. In the context of the sutra, the use of this word atha means that we have come to a point in sour lives where we are ready to wake up from our conditioned existence and our habitual way of behaving, thinking and interacting with the world insinuates that we are finally ready to get real and discover the essence of all existence that lies deep down in the core of our own heart and at the centre of our being.
⠀⠀
It is from this experience of the root of life in the present moment that a yoga practice can actually be generated... Yoga is freedom. It is freedom from the fear of not knowing who we are”
⠀⠀
- Richard Freeman

So do you want the bad news first or the good news first?
⠀⠀
Bad news, ok.
⠀⠀
Bad news is that our beloved Sam is taking ‘carpe diem’ to heart and sailing off into the sunset to explore, live, love and travel indefinitely 😫😭🥺
You’re chances to practice with her in the studio are coming to a close so soak up all of her magical presence this week while you have your last chance!
⠀⠀
Ready for the good news?
Thanks to this covid travel restriction thing she can’t get too far away from us! Haha!
She’ll still be delivering her sumptuous classes online and dropping graceful flows and butt squeezing Pilates classes delivered straight to your living room from wherever she travels.

Silver lining right?!📷 @leilajoy_
