22.01.2022 Nothing better than a mid-week Mysore- style session to leave you feeling more yourself for the holidays.

22.01.2022 Many people don't know what to expect when they first show up to a Mysore-style session. So here's a sneak peak of what it looks like! As you can see, the students in this class practice their own sequence at their own pace. Every student has been taught one on one, and has co-designed with the teacher a sequence of postures which best fits their capabilities and desires. This means that when you enter the room, you will notice everyone doing something different. Mysore st...yle sessions are supervised by an experienced teacher, who monitors each student and is available for adjustment, clarification and questions throughout the practice. Popular around the world, the self-paced style means that individual injuries and energy levels are catered for and there is no pressure to maintain a certain pace, or comparison between what individual students are practicing. Each day becomes a new adventure in your practice as you discover the secrets of the breath. You are capable of so much more than you ever thought! We'd love to see you message us for details.

21.01.2022 Last Kundalini Yoga workshop for the year! Get in quick to secure your spot :)

21.01.2022 We love the work of Simon Borg-Olivier. Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga is a system of practice that allows for vast variance and flexibility. The sorts of alternatives like those demonstrated here are a real treat and very healthy. Our very own Richard Kelly has been studying with Simon and many others consistently for a long time and he is back with a Saturday afternoon class featuring joint mobility, following breath, and plenty of education on the Chinese theory of the element...s. Class resumes this week, Saturdays from 4pm to 6pm. Cost is $30 adults and $20 concession. No bookings required.

21.01.2022 Wednesdays from 9.30. Come thru.

19.01.2022 Coming up on Sunday 20 September at the studio! The Spring Equinox is one of the four most powerful days of the year. It is the half way point between the solstices. This is a turning point to shake off the winter cobwebs and reawaken to the sun energy as we head towards Summer. This transition from shorter to longer days and more direct sunlight is an opportunity to synchronize your energy with the prana (life force) that is being released as we head towards summer. Kund...alini Rebirthing Breathwork is a powerful practice used to clear the subconscious, to heal the pain and overcome the obstacles which keep us from living our best life - awakened, rejuvenated and present to your purpose. This will not be the same rebirthing technique we used at the last very popular Solstice Event. This rebirthing workshop is a poignant time to stop and listen, to go within and harmonise your energy and reassess your connection to spirit. It’s a powerful time of re-birth and transformation a time to acknowledge your shadow, heal your wounds, release outdated old beliefs and thought patterns and align with your inner flame to awaken to your highest destiny. The rebirthing practices are the most powerfull, profound, intimate, personal, healing and uplifting kriyas from the teachings of Kundalini Yoga. You will experience a new depth in your meditation and a renewed sense of self without the baggage of the past. A wonderful opportunity to release and let go. A Journey into your light. The sound of the Gong is a potent ally in this endeavor, gifting us with a heavenly lightness and calmness. Join us in this unique event that can truly change the course of your destiny. All levels welcome, no prior experience is necessary. Delicious treats and a healing thirst quenching nectar will be served to enhance the deep healing experience within. Sunday 20 September, 2020 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm at Ashtanga Yoga Newcastle Ticket link - https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=653537&

12.01.2022 The next Kundalini Yoga Rebirthing is going to be a big one! Sunday 20 Dec, 2pm - 5pm at the studio. The Dawning of a New Age: This date is being referred to as the real Age of Aquarius.

11.01.2022 Saturday satsang will now feature a rolling commentary on the 8th century text by Shankara known as Yoga Taravali. This key hatha yoga text, which has been adopted by Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga around the world explains how to transcend material coarseness while remaining within it, guiding it, creating positive and outlandishly excellent lives for everyone we contact. We will explore one verse per session, learn a touch of Sanskrit, do a little chant and discuss many other related topics. We would love to see you there tomorrow 4pm @earthieyoga in Mayfield.

11.01.2022 Workshop - Sunday 29th November ! The highest spiritual bliss is known as ananda. It is always existent and accessible; it is not something generated. We may notice it at times of gratification or stimulation and mistakenly conclude that those events created the bliss, but this is not the case. It is fortuitous blends of beliefs and actions that allow the already-existing and abundant bliss to be felt. With a sturdy yoga practice consisting of asana and pranayama, you will ex...perience much less stress that is a legitimate effect but it is a result of being driven towards your positive idealisations so emphatically that fear, guilt, doubt, self-consciousness and other neuroses fall away. Great joy and potency emerge by developing primary biological functions to levels that humans don’t ordinarily pursue. Come and find out more about these non-physical aspects of yoga in our series of workshops. Email [email protected] to book, or send us a message!

09.01.2022 Birds of a feather Led half primary Mon/Wed 6pm with Ingrid and Jac

09.01.2022 I remember the first time walking into the studio and realising that I had a very long way to go. I decided to take the mindset of a complete beginner and act as though I was learning from scratch. Seeing others around me so dedicated to the practice motivated me to continually come back. Once I learnt the sequence, the practice became much more than just physically strengthening and lengthening the muscles. It became a beautiful opportunity to focus on my breath and sink into a relaxed, meditative state. - Eliza Photo by @one_stop_productions #mysorestyle #ashtangayoga #lifelonglearning #yogateacher

09.01.2022 In today’s 4pm Satsang @earthieyoga in Mayfield, we will be running through the famous Gayatri mantra and the lesser known components of it, along with mystical auditory accompaniment come along !

07.01.2022 The **final edit** of my book is taking place, mostly at @talulahbar Here's an excerpt - in this section I detail some of the history of yoga at the Mysore Palace, and generations of royal family in the area that fostered the arts, education across classes in society: "For generations the Mysore royal family adopted policies and projects that demonstrated an inclusive attitude, and one that provided citizens with opportunities in a rapidly evolving world. During this period... the state became the first in Asia to generate hydroelectric power. They provided English and Sanskrit language education, created housing and temples, provided indoor games for the population, and they prioritised wildlife preservation. They were strong advocates of the arts and they made education along these lines available to far more people than the national culture usually permitted. Mummadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar III ruled from 1799 to 1868. He was a scholar himself and sponsored many other scholars. He composed many works in the Kannada and Sanskrit languages, and was positively influenced by Western concepts of design and architecture. One significant work that he either authored or compiled is named Sritattvanidhi, which means The Illustrious Treasure of Realities, and contains illustrations and descriptions of 122 yoga asana of a kind familiar to modern practitioners of yoga. It is said that yoga in this age, before the current trend of popular public classes, was quiet and private. Those who studied and practiced did so for the purpose of evolution and there was far less emphasis on exercise and general health. Maharaja Chamarajendra Wadiyar X ruled between 1868 and 1894. He was socially progressive and implemented the first democratic representative assembly in India. He and his family prioritised women’s education and a horizontal access to health care regardless of caste. He thought that a rich person ought to expect to be in a hospital bed beside a poor person. They expressed a desire to have the downtrodden brought into the mainstream, something that the upper class opposed." More here: https://www.ashtangayoganewcastle.com/history-of-yoga-in-m/

07.01.2022 This Saturday 4pm we have Yoga for Longevity with Rich: "I hope this message finds you well. In our class this week I’m continuing the blue light journey of the... kidneys, urinary bladder and the gate of life and vitality - the Ming Men. Often when we think of longevity, we conjure up thoughts that it is just for middle or older aged people to be concerned with. But the pursuit of longevity is equally if not more important for younger yang women and men. Your kidneys are the foundation of Yin and Yang energy’s and for all your organs. Imagine yourself as a puppet. The strings are your acupuncture meridians. Each one is affiliated with an organ and an emotion. If the strings become tangled, they form knots of anger, frustrations, grievances, grudges, fear and it is hard to find the flow of life. I often remind myself to flow and glow at the speed of life. A combination of poor lifestyle choices, excessive stress, tension, overthinking, overtraining, placed on top of tight muscles and over build-up of cortisol in the adrenal glands. We have a red-light, self-induced, unconscious cocktail that is less than ideal for optimum performance, vitality and internal wellbeing. It can quickly become a downward cascading effect through the systems of the human body. Your kidneys are also considered the fountain of youth at any age. If you want longevity and youthfulness, then show the kidneys some love right now. Maintain balance between yin and yang energies of body keep generating and storing chi via the chi cycle. You will look youthful with optimal skin elasticity, connective tissue and muscle pliability and feel vital regardless of your age. You will have good bone density so you can remain active and strong, good brain function to keep you learning, growing and engaged with high immunity for fast recovery from any illness should you get one. The puppeteer your (Kidneys) can make movements fluid and supple for life - it doesn’t matter how old you are! You can start working on healthy longevity now, conscious of everything you put into your body and the puppeteer (kidneys) will keep you running like new. Your kidneys well deliver power, vitality, strong bones, a healthy sex drive and willpower. You’ll be pulling on the strings for health and happiness. Come along for meditative water movements, Spinal Synergy movements, posture practice and breath regulation to strengthen the kidney chi and your overall sea of chi and gate of life and vitality. As one my best teachers quotes: Expand and Evolve Much love and best wishes From Rich.

During this alignment a star gate opens to pour energy from the source of ALL creation at the Great Central Sun. In the height of the season of of courageous fire - the brightest star in the sky, Sirius rises in the eastern horizon before the Sun. Ancient Egypt recognized Sirius as the Spiritual Sun. This Workshop will be a powerful portal to connect to its energies of deep spiritual wisdom and unlocked secrets of abundance. We will work to open this gateway of Sirius through the alignment of Kriya, Meditation, and working our celestial body. Bookings essential. Please contact Lucinda @kundaliniyoganewcastle

05.01.2022 Yoga for Longevity with Rich Kelly Yoga 4pm - 6pm Saturdays Water is the most powerful life-giving element and our kidneys are the most powerful organ in our body. This week we will be enhancing and tonifying (strengthening) our kidney chi with movement and posture. In our movement and postural practice, we will develop and cultivate a deeper awareness, moving from our enteric nervous system (ENS), our movement brain where all movement originates from. The enteric nervous s...ystem is a subdivision of the autonomic nervous system. In TCM, the core is known as the elixir field. In eastern traditions all movement originates from this point smoothly and fluidly with natural breathing With kidney qi we are seeking to find the stillness in the movement, effortless effort known as Wu wei. This is a state where our actions are effortlessly aligned with nature characterised by ease and spontaneity. Come and join in this immersive experience. https://www.ashtangayoganewcastle.com/richs-yoga-of-longev/

04.01.2022 Many people attended our screening of this documentary a couple of years ago - and Josh attended the in-person conference in India in 2020. This year, the conference is online - streaming live from the City of Mysore, where many of the greats are still living with us. https://www.mysoreyogatraditions.com/mysore-conference ... The world can use spiritual guidance, and who better to give this guidance than the community that gave us the yoga in the first place? It is a real service to the world, to bring this knowledge out of Mysore and into the international yoga community. It is a noble cause.
