In each episode, the Classic Flow ensemble perform an intimate concert of classical music with meditative effects to enhance your practice. Each bespoke playlist has been carefully curated so the music fits snugly alongside the yoga sequence. resulting in a deeply immersive, sensory experience.
In a final gesture of gratitude, Lara invites you to flow though a soothing moon salutation practice, chandra namaskar.

This standing sequence homes in on the pelvis, the gateway between upper and lower halves of the body and the holder of SO much tension.
You’ll move through a series of warrior poses, limbering up connective tissue and strengthening supporting muscle groups, so the rivers of communication can flow more freely between the upper and lower halves of your intuitive body.
Many yoga practitioners find hip work to not just be physically challenging but also emotionally undamming. Please take care with any sensitive knees and souls.
To accompany, a selection of Philip Glass etudes. His compositions are full of pathos, and the piano-playing, beautifully precise. Let it anchor you in the present, and carry you through the challenging moments.
Music Etude No. 5, Philip Glass (9:07)
Etude No. 4, Philip Glass (8:21)
Etude No. 2, Philip Glass (7:26)
Performer: Sally Whitwell

This strong sequence of balance poses is all about moving from your centre - uddiyana bandha - to find equilibrium even when things feel a bit upside down. Your mat is fertile ground to explore this balancing act, to find ease amongst the effort, and softness in your strength.
Maybe you can carry this feeling off the mat and into your daily life? Maybe your own exploration of balance in this class can echo the sweet balance you’ll hear in the music, between the resonant strum of the guitar strings, and the warm, penetrating breath of the shakuhachi.
Music composed and recorded especially for Classic Flow, performed on guitar by Steve Allen and shakuhachi by Riley Lee.
Sorrow Phillip Houghton arr. Steve Allen (9:07)
Just Another Day Steve Allen (10:05)

Spend 15 minutes just bathing, basking in the gift of breath. Try not to force it. Let go of the effort required for perfect technique … whatever that is … and just receive its life-giving elixir.
raven's play through you, a solo work for cello, accompanies us here. The cello’s string vibrations, the loops and the effects will fill the cavity of its ancient, wooden body with a deep, rich sound, just as our own bodies are rhythmically filled with breath. When you think about it, our own resonating torsos are proportionately similar to the curvaceous cavity of a cello, maybe that’s why its sound resonates so deeply with us?
Now close your eyes, and let the music play through you...

In this class, Lara invites you to imagine your body as a big, beautiful sponge to juice up with life-giving prana.

The accompanying music was composed and arranged especially for Classic Flow and features legendary yidaki (didgeridoo) player William Barton alongside Steve Allen on guitar. Together, they create a uniquely Australian soundscape with moments of tranquility – all designed to help you achieve a deeper, more focused practice.

Work up a sweat in this piquant little piece of core cultivation as we spice-up some classic postures. We’ll spend 20 minutes sparking up your centre by moving through a set of well-known poses, igniting that energetic power house right in the middle of your being.
The gorgeous music accompanying this episode is by Australian composer Kate Moore. It’s called Coral Speak and if you listen closely to Louise Devenish’s vibraphone playing, you’ll hear the sounds of the aliveness of the Great Barrier Reef breathing, dancing and tinkling and crackling with tiny air bubbles under idyllic waters. It’s a meditative piece, come back to it and let it be your cool plunge pool in this fiery practice.

With Lara as your guide, take a heart-expanding journey to peak pose Urdhva Dhanurasana. Flow through an energetic asana sequence designed to loosen and lubricate the connective tissue and muscles wrapped across the chest, shoulders, upper back, and then drizzle that sweet, heart sauce over newfound space in the upper body.
This pose can feel pretty intense, both physically AND emotionally. You might feel like your heart is about to burst right out of your chest. You may struggle to keep your breath long and deep - it's ok. This is a hard posture to get right! Take your time. Listen closely to Lara's instruction. Move with love, and find solace and inspiration in the music.
This 40-minute episode is set against a heart-swelling piece of music written and electronically produced especially for Classic Flow by Russell Torrance, it’s called Journey Home.

In March 2018, the Classic Flow team were invited to play on the lush tropical garden grounds of the Gold Coast’s brand new Home of the Arts (HOTA).
Lara Zilibowitz was joined by the Southern Cross Soloists string quartet and guitarist and vocalist Benny Holloway to lead a chorus of beating hearts in a 90-minute sense meditation.
Before you exit the fast lane and dive into this slow river of mindfulness, please note this is a live outdoor recording and the sound quality is different to what you will find in the studio-produced episodes. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon on the banks of the Nerang River and you will hear the liveliness of game play in the public park in the background, with some wind gusts entering Lara’s microphone.
So many of you who were in attendance have been in touch to ask when you will be able to participate in this class again … so, here we are. We hope you can forgive the blustery wind.
When we turn our attention to a beautiful piece of music we have the opportunity to press pause on time. Where past and future can dissolve into the present moment, and it is here that we can truly savour the rhythm of life.
With this in mind, we humbly invite you to dive deep into Classic Flow LIVE at HOTA.
