Shaktiprem’s yoga class is the ultimate low-impact de-stress. A stressful day, a busy life, family complications can all be gently unwound as she moves you to a calm inner space by steadily leaving your day behind. From there, you gain energy and flexibility through the positions and routines of yoga to refocus the mind and body together. A week without yoga is a more stressful week!
I find Shaktiprem’s Yoga sessions on a Friday before work extremely beneficial: not only my general fitness has increased but my level of energy and happiness too. Shaktiprem prepares the Yoga sessions taking in consideration the type of work we do: it is office based, sitting in front of the computer.
My increased level of energy and positive attitude are directly transferred to my work as follows:
I manage those difficult conversations with underperforming staff with a more composed approach obtaining better results from the employee.
I manage to have successful discussions with stakeholders that have different opinions on the topic that I am trying to get agreement.
I manage to complete all those jobs and tasks that I was aiming to do during the week and for one reason or other I was not able to achieve.
All this allows me to leave work with a sense of achievement relax during the weekend and come back on Mondays with renewed energy to tackle the week.
Yoga with Shaktiprem has been a really good way for me to unwind after a full day on the computer. The yoga she teaches is grounding, facilitates flexibility in body and mind and has assisted me to de-stress. Shaktiprem puts a lot of energy into understanding each and every student’s needs and interests, and as a result, I have felt valued in her classes"
Good morning Shaktiprem,
I am thoroughly enjoying your classes & you sharing your in-depth knowledge of yoga and its benefits.
Personally I have benefited greatly in the following areas:
Better posture when at my work station,
Clearer thinking that has increased my productivity,
Increased fitness and lower levels of stress
Increased feeling of happiness and wellbeing
Thanks again - morning yoga is the best way to enable a productive day.
The hour spent with Shaktiprem at the Yoga sessions offered as part of the UQ Health and Wellness program is enormously beneficial for my mental attitude and I feel great for quite some time afterwards - just shows I should be practicing Yoga more often.
Shaktiprem's yoga classes provide a very positive and uplifting space for me in the business of my week. From her classes I gain the obvious benefit of greater physical flexibility and strength, but more importantly for me are the benefits of mental and emotional balance.
I have practised yoga for 7 years, being in different classes with different teachers. I find Shaktiprem's approach to be holistic and informative. She is particularly helpful with her explanations and corrections of form so that each lesson is a learning experience and one which easily transfers into effective practice during the week. Her nurturing manner allows for a calm and respectful attitude to permeate the class, which facilitates focus and clarity.
I have found the UQ Yoga program run by Shaktiprem to be very beneficial, particularly the stretching and focused relaxation. It has helped with my neck and back issues. I would love to see it offered two to three times a week in the mornings before work – feeling balanced and relaxed would be a good start to the working day!
Just to say how useful and convenient the weekly Yoga sessions on campus have been. I have been experiencing some neck and shoulder pain/stress and your Yoga sessions have addressed these issues and assisted me with home and work exercises to alleviate this stress most of it related to long sessions at the computer. Having the Yoga on campus made the classes accessible and time efficient. Thanks I enjoyed them a lot and am hopeful they will continue in 2011.
