25.01.2022 Dear Lara Yoga Community, as many of you already know, I had just 3 lessons left to teach for this term, these were the final classes to conclude my teaching practice indefinitely, (due to family commitments). I was so looking forward to our final gathering together and sharing my favourite teachings with you along with a few things that Id not yet taught. As it is though with the risk of Covid - 19 these final classes will be suspended. Whilst some people are concerned (of... Covid or the flu in general) and others are not, Id rather not put anyone in a compromised position feeling that they either have to risk their health, or give up their last few class credits. So please, hold onto your class credits, because Ill be back! Back to teach a few classes before Mim takes over my usual teaching schedule. In the meantime remember your teachings and please keep going with your practice! Practise the postures, the breathing techniques, most importantly the meditations and the Yoga Nidra, and fundamentally practice ahimsa (non harming) Ive always promoted a daily home practice alongside visiting a teacher, for as Sri Dharma Mittra himself says "constant practice alone, lights the divine flame within." Ill post a few things for guidance over the next few wks. Stay safe, be well and Many OMS to you Lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu OM shanti, shanti, shantih (May all beings everywhere be happy and free, OM, peace, peace, perfect peace)

When we achieve Namaha we may achieve peace")

17.01.2022 Enjoy the stillness. Yin Yoga tonight, 7:30 - 8:30pm

16.01.2022 Yin Yoga on this Wednesday 7:30pm. Gentle Yoga on this Saturday 9:30am. Once every 5 wks experience a gentle, reflective approach to your practice. ... We spend 4 weeks progressing through a Hatha Flow class on a specific theme (eg. Back extensions/heart opening) committing the sequence and skills learnt to memory. Memory in the muscle tissue, memory in the nervous system, the subtle bodies..... With repetition the magic may be released. This 5th week is a chance to reflect and rejuvenate, to rest. It is like a bridging class, to conclude the previous 4 weeks of efforts before beginning the next 4 weeks. Integrating and bringing balance as we move from one theme to the next. Perhaps you will even begin to formulate intentions and dedications for your next 4 wks of practice as you reflect in these slow moving, deeply mindful classes. Looking forward to seeing you all for this week of rest and relaxation $15 casual $12 regular $10 concession, pensioners, uni/college students $120 ten class pass (no time limit) $Free; school aged children (must be able to participate, without distractions.) Please note Yin Yoga is generally too slow and boring for children. The younger the child, the harder it is to stay engaged. I would not recommend this class to primary school children. Address; Bisenella Community Centre, 73 Buckingham St, Lara.

15.01.2022 Last months theme was SLOW. Alongside, slowing down the physical practice during the windiest Autumn month, (grounding elements) I noticed at home that I started making more chai tea, another slow practice Heres my promised recipe (with a couple of variations) I highly recommend making double mixture when you know youll be drinking it all day/night. The longer it brews the richer the flavours! Below makes 2 mugs Ginger. Thumb size, chopped up fine.... Cinnamon. 1 to 2 sticks Cardomon. 6 pods. Cloves. 6. Star anise. 1.5 or 2. Fennel. A pinch. Black peppercorns. 2 or 3. If want it warming, add the pepper, otherwise you might like to omit it in favour for the fennel. I often have both ingredients. Crush all the ingredients except the ginger and peppercorns in a mortar and pestal. Place all ingredients in a saucepan and add 500ml of boiled water. Let it sit in saucepan until ready to drink brewing the flavours! (or if you cant wait simmer for approx 10mins) When ready to drink heat the mixture, bringing it to a simmer and add 1 mug of your chosen milk (and 2tsp of black tea leaves if you like). When you see steam, its time to take it off the heat and strain into mug(s). Any leftovers can sit in saucepan until youre ready to reheat for your next cuppa Serve with your choice of sweetener. If following Ayervedic principles then maple syrup is cooling and honey is warming. Maple syrup or coconut sugar is best choice for a Vegan diet. Enjoy!

14.01.2022 S.L.O.W. this months theme at Lara Yoga Life. Starting this Saturday 27th April, 9:30am. What happens when your body moves from air to moving through water? Penguins will soar as if they can fly, the water becoming "The Second Sky" but for you, what happens?... Perhaps all sensory perception will change; sound, breath, vision, temperature. Perhaps a sense of weightlessness or sinking... These affects change the relationship of your body in space and thus also your experience ...of self. Inspired by these thoughts and my personal rehabilative work at home we will be slowing down and fine tuning our attention; attention on the breath, details of the body, attention to thoughts/feelings that may arise... What a nice way to welcome in Autumn When slow and steady we can sense the changes and watch the body move by itself Open Class: Saturday 9:30am & Wednesday 7:30pm Yin Yoga: Thursday 7:30pm $15 casual $120 ten class pass (no time limit) $10 students, concession/health care card holders, pensioners. Bisenella Community Centre, 73 Buckingham St, Lara.

13.01.2022 Saturday mornings for the next 3-4 wks are themed: SPRING VITALITY! Structured as a PRANA FLOW class; Physically we will be moving the body in rhythm to the breath as we gently build strength in the back body, stretch out the front body and open the chest. Its good for the spine, the lungs, and as we say in yoga, opens the heart space, (the spiritual heart at the centre of the chest) When our prana, our vital energy is able to flow more freely we may feel invigorated and m...ore at ease, presenting our better self.
