About ACT Yoga & Meditation Centre

Established in 1985, the ACT Yoga & Meditation Centre offers a variety of SATYANANDA YOGA classes in a peaceful garden studio. Experienced yoga teachers guide you to progress at a comfortable level for yourself.
 
Regular beginners and progressive levels of yoga are available in day or evening classes. Every class will include
  •  yoga postures which enable you to strengthen, stretch and vitalise your whole body
  •  yoga breathing practices which balance and expand your energy levels 
  • deep yoga relaxation which mobilises your inherent powers of healing and rejuvenation 
  • yoga meditation practices which develop your serenity and mental focus 
We also specialise in pre natal and post natal yoga classes where you learn ways to relax and empower yourself to approach your birthing experience with calm and confidence. You can begin at any stage of pregnancy (or beyond) the earlier the better.

The foundation class gives a good ground-ing in all aspects of yoga. You are recommended to complete a minimum of two foundation courses and are encouraged to develop a regular personal yoga practice before moving on to the progressive level.

Progressive Yoga & Meditation
This level is for students who wish to ex-plore yoga in more depth extending the practices learnt in the foundation
course.

The practices taught in this class are suit-able for you at any stage of pregnancy. No previous experience of yoga is necessary. 

Post Natal Yoga
This class is for you and your baby from six weeks after birth until they can move about 

Details of Teachers

Vedanta Nicholson 

I have been teaching yoga in Canberra for 34 years specialising in pre natal yoga. I am a 'yoga of the heart' person. This is the name of a film made by a friend Jayne Stevenson about Paramahamsa Satyananda and his organisation in India but it's title expresses how I feel about yoga. Yoga needs to connect and involve the whole person, like a great friend or benevolent companion.

I started the ACT Yoga and Meditation Centre in 1985 teaching as many people as I could fit into my lounge.  It has grown steadily since then into a seperate garden studio and continuous classes throughout the week also involving other teachers.
