25.01.2022 Luis Tamani's artwork takes us travelling through several levels of interpretation. Whether it is a portrait or a composition; animal, plants or both; the vibra...nt and harmonious colors that illuminate the subject represented envelop us in softness and kindness. Nature is source of permanent teaching and surely the best way to reconnect with ourselves. It becomes obvious to emerge as a channel of its beauty. Check it out https://www.luis-tamani.com

23.01.2022 Can’t wait to get back into Yoga in the Yurt Thursday’s 9.30-10.30am and 6-7pm Starting term 4- mid October

23.01.2022 Dear Yogis Life is surprising in its twists and turns I AM UNABLE TO RETURN TO MINTARO to resume our classes for term 4. I am so sorry to get all our hopes up. Please watch this space for a hopeful return in November and please accept my humble apologies. ... 2020 has been full of surprises and has asked for vast reservoirs of patience and acceptance. Much love to you all Emma See more

23.01.2022 ! Reading and seeing many doom & gloom posts about the Mars retrograde recently,... so I thought I’d put it into a little perspective here, looking at the full range of Mars and not only focusing on sex and violence. When a planet goes retrograde, it means the planetary quality is internalised for that period of time. The planet seemingly stands still, it seems to pause on its journey through the skies. So the Mars retrograde phase is the natural phase in the cycle where the Mars energy is internalized, reflective. Mars, the divine masculine or YANG energy it’s the energy that gets us out of bed and into bed. It’s our drive, our assertion, actualisation the raw physical energy. But it’s also our connection to anger, to our ego, our survival mode fight or flight. With Mars being about how we get our needs met, it’s like we have been collectively sent to our rooms now to have a little think about our ego before we are allowed back outside to play. So maybe think about where are your needs met, where are you pushing too hard, where are you pushing too little? How do you actualise your intentions? How do you react in times of stress and danger? Is your ego a little over-active? And can you possibly change that? Mars is currently in Aries which means filtering our action through the lens of Aries. As a cardinal fire sign, Aries goes first, it’s the pioneer energy, fueled with passion and inspiration leading the way. Mars in Aries asks: what’s in it for me? Why wait? Let’s go! And we might see a lot of things happening now in a fast way, with force, full steam ahead. Some ego actions, without much thought or preparation given to them. It could get a little wild now with this temperamental energy, but please take the time and use it for yourself as well instead of exclusively being glued the shit-show that is unfolding externally. I expect a lot of triggers to come up that give us food for reflection - if we are willing to pause and do so. If you get triggered and lash out, can you do it better next time? Our patience might be tested big time, the ego will scream loudly: I want it MY way! NOW! In order to change things, we have to become aware of them first no matter how ugly this looks like. You cannot evolve and change something if you remain in your comfort zone. So we are all catapulted out of the comfort zone of denial now. Once Mars goes direct (which will be on 13th November) it is time to take what you learned in the retrograde weeks and put it into action. When we come out of this phase, chances are we have alchemized so much that we will be able to operate on the more conscious level of Mars /Aries: As much as this world looks like chaos, we can create something brand new here. We can be the pioneers for humanity after thousands of years of oppression and brain washing. We can walk full of courage and direct our inspired vision to make this world a much better place than it was before. By Sarah Ulhaas, all rights reserved Photo: Unsplash / Nicolas Lobos

Emma Hey beautiful yogis I made an advent calendar No email sign up No cost No strings attached Just for fun and for love ADVENT CALENDAR I have never done one of these before and only decided to give it a go a week ago!

14.01.2022 Master, how can I face isolation? -Clean your house. Thoroughly. In every corner. Even the ones you never felt like, the courage and the patience to play. ...Make your house bright and well cared for. It removes dust, cobwebs, impurities. Even the most hidden. Your house represents you: if you take care of it, you also take care of yourself. -Master but the time is long. After taking care of me through my house, how can I live the isolation? -Fix what can be fixed and remove what you no longer need. Dedicate yourself to the patchwork, embroider the starts of your pants, sew well the frayed edges of your dresses, restore a piece of furniture, repair everything worth repairing. The rest, throw it away. With gratitude. And with the awareness that its cycle has ended. Fixing and removing outside of yourself allows you to fix or remove what's inside of you. -Master and then what? What can I do all the time alone? -Sowing. Even a seed in a vase. Take care of a plant, water it every day, talk to it, give it a name, remove the dry leaves and weeds that can suffocate it and steal precious vital energy. It is a way of caring for your inner seeds, your desires, your intentions, your ideals. -Master and if the void comes to visit me? ... If fear of illness and death come? -Talk to them. Prepare the table for them too, reserve a place for each of your fears. Invite them to dinner with you. And ask them why they came from so far to your house. What message do they want to bring you. What do they want to communicate to you. -Master, I don't think I can do this ... -It is not isolation your problem, but the fear of facing your inner dragons Those that you always wanted to get away from you. Now you can't run away. Look them in the eyes, listen to them and you will discover that they put you against the wall. They've isolated you so they can talk to you. Like the seeds that can only sprout if they are alone. Prakasa Yoga Photo: Sawaki Kódó

14.01.2022 Another beautiful reminder from my dear friend Emma Louise Kenyon.

13.01.2022 We don't need to get out of our own way. We don't need to Do anything. We have outgrown this old system thinking pattern. We simply need to Be.... Seek the simplicity of Being in your senses, your breath, your sight, your hearing, your touch, your smell. Be with your senses and sense your beingness-Your PreSense. Our work is to expand into the divine network map of the future that is already woven into existence See more

12.01.2022 From the point of Light within the Mind of God Let light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on Earth. From the point of Love within the Hear...t of God Let love stream forth into the hearts of men. May Christ return to Earth. From the centre where the Will of God is known Let purpose guide the little wills of men The purpose which the Masters know and serve. From the centre which we call the race of men Let the Plan of Love and Light work out And may it seal the door where evil dwells. Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. The Great Invocation, Alice A. Bailey

12.01.2022 Me: Hey God. God: Hey John. Me: The world is completely out of control!... God: I know. It's such an adventure, right? Me: No! It's like being on a runaway train! I need to feel like I am in control of my life. God: You want to be in control? Me: Yes! God: You are living on a spinning wet rock of a planet that resides next to a constantly exploding fireball in the middle of an ever-expanding universe that is filled with mysteries beyond your wildest imagination. Me: Um, okay.... God: And on this planet that you are hurtling through the great expanse in - you are co-habituating with billions of other people who have free-will and their own experiences that shape their perspectives and beliefs. Me: Yeah...? God: And while all this is going on your soul is residing in a physical body that is such a miracle of delicate engineering that at any given moment could produce its last heartbeat. Me: Right... God: What is it about your existence that you think you have any control of? Me: God: Come on - you know the answer to this. What can you control? Me: How kind I am to people? God: Yep and one other thing. Me: What's that? God: How kind you are to yourself. Aside from that - most of everything else is a bit outside of your design. Me: That's a bit terrifying... God: All great adventures are! Written by- John Roedel

11.01.2022 Hey folks is anyone interested in me starting classes back up? Looking at term 4 with covid restrictions and practices in place... What class times would suit you best? I’m more likely to try for mornings and afternoons. Bed time for my boy is pretty sacred so nothing later than 4.30pm most likely. That said please send me any of your favoured times and I will try to weave that in. X ... Namaste See more

10.01.2022 How are you all doing out there in these unprecedented times? As South Australia starts kicking back in to gear many of you have been wondering What’s happening at the Yurt? Can I begin practicing in class again? The answer unfortunately is no. When all this shutting down and isolating began I decided to make a big commitment to change. I rented my place to a friend which required moving my personal things into the studio, while I relocated Jamie and myself to a family sh...ack, walking distance from essential services. So during isolation we have had access, as well as access to the sanctuary of a relatively long and quiet beach. We committed to 6 months of this arrangement at which time we will reassess. That will take us up to at least mid September. It has been lonely, intense and a bit relentless which I am sure many of you can relate to. It’s a relief to be able to have visitors and to go out a bit again but for us this isn’t over. While I had hoped I might get some yoga content up online, the reality of being isolated with my dear Mr Almost 2 has made this wish unrealistic. So apologies if you’ve been waiting in vain. It’s still my wish and with the potential arrival of my mum into our picture from NSW I may just have a space to work on it. Fingers crossed. To each of you I hope you are going ok. If you feel like making contact I encourage you to send me a message. News from you would make my day. Photo credit- Ben McMahon

05.01.2022 On the Solsice this year you might like to join this simple meditation. Take a moment to see, imagine and feel Uluru so you can face it from where you are. Then drop into your heart, and connect with the heart of our Earth. Then just be in deep connection heart to heart.

04.01.2022 Very interesting reading. Jimi is a wealth of knowledge, it’s pretty in depth and I hope it can help if you are having sciatic issues. X
