24.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW that improved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga? During your first class, you probably won’t be able to touch your toes. But if you stick with it, you’ll notice a gradual loosening, and eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become possible. You’ll also notice that aches and pains begin to disappear. That’s no coincidence. If your hips are tight they place extra strain on your knee joints or if you suffer from tight hamstrings that can affect the lumbar spine and cause back pain. https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws SIGN UP FOR BEGINNERS YOGA TODAY

24.01.2022 2021 will be the perfect time to immerse yourself in a Introduction to Yoga course. This course is designed for beginners as well as those returning to yoga or wishing to deeper their understanding on the fundamentals of yoga.

23.01.2022 'Setting your intention for 2021 finding your truth. with Gina Funke New Year 2021 What can this year bring? After the doozy of 2020 we might be left feeling a little cautious and unsure about pinning our hopes on 2021. In previous years, the saying goodbye to the old and bringing in the new offered us the opportunity to discard the blunders of the months gone by and set new goals, make plans to rise above our flaws, and to scale to new heights.... But this year I believe that, instead of shedding the past, we should draw on the wisdom derived from introspection throughout 2020 to create intentions. The transition from 2020 to 2021 holds more potential and is laden with a transformational power so much greater than we can possibly imagine. The coronavirus pandemic has brought change to almost every part of our lives how we live, where we live, how we work, what family means, and what is really important to us. There have been months in lockdown where our world has been on pause, causing many of us to dig into existential questions: What is my purpose? Where do I belong? What really matters? This time of isolation and introversion in 2020 has given us the brilliant opportunity to truly reflect on what it is we would most like to see manifest in our lives. Let us use this time of transition from one year to the next as an opportunity to declare our deepest longings, goals and intentions. 2020 was not cancelled, it has actually been an awakening. Let 2021 be a year of rebirth. https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws

23.01.2022 Do you love stories? Here’s one on changing your perspective.

22.01.2022 Sirsasana, or a yoga headstand,which is an advanced position, can be an energising pose. It's one of the more difficult poses to master and, needs to be done correctly or it can cause injury. This post requires long hamstrings, flexible spine and shoulders, and solid upper body strength. It's important to ensure you're focused, conditioned, and using proper technique before attempting the pose on your own.

22.01.2022 Good Morning friends, so the groundhog predicts a few more weeks of winter.... There’s only one thing for it, let’s dance our way through it. Happy Monday

21.01.2022 Hope you have an awesome week

20.01.2022 MEET OUR TEACHERS - Marie tailors her classes to suit a wide range of needs - focusing on teaching her students physical practises and mindfulness techniques that can be applied in daily life. With a calming and comforting voice, Marie leads her students through strongly themed classes that take into account any injuries, limitations and needs of her students. While her style is nurturing, she always provides the opportunity and encouragement for students to take the challenge and develop their mental and physical strength. Her classes are not about getting the right pose for an instagram photo - rather a journey into mindful movement and self love.

16.01.2022 MEET OUR TEACHERS - Lisa’s yoga journey began seven years ago, but it wasn’t until a retreat in 2017 that her practice completely changed. It went from being simply a form of exercise to becoming something so much deeper and more profound. She found her connection with breath and learnt how to create space for herself on her mat. For Lisa, yoga is home. It’s the safest place where she can be the most true expression of herself. It is because of this that Lisa loves to teach f...rom the heart, encouraging students to use their breath to guide movement. She creates sequences that encourage movement with intention and purpose. Her classes build with pace and power, with little snippets of philosophy and opportunities for self-reflection weaved throughout. She always encourages students to move in a way that respects their body and how they are feeling. You can expect to leave her classes feeling vibrant and rejuvenated. See more

10.01.2022 So yesterday was a day of turmoil for me, and seeking some enlightenment or wisdom I thought of the Buddha and how in mythology was born under a tree, became enlightened under a tree, taught under a tree and died under a tree. And with a prayer for some sort of miracle, epiphany or revelation, I sat down under a tree to meditate. The words of the wonderful teacher Jack Kornfield began to ring true in my ears, ‘meditation isn’t necessary about having a mystical experience, b...ut about coming back to the natural experience of being alive’ ...being alive... My eyes began to focus on the blade of grass, the sun shimmering on the water and the more I let go of the need to react, even just chatter in my own mind like ‘hey, look there’s a duck ‘, the more I fell into presence. And with this surrender it was as if a 3D switch had been turned on in my brain, I lost complete awareness of self as the humming of nature was turned up to full volume. I’m not sure if this awareness lasted 2 seconds or 5 minutes, but I know that this was a truly awakened experience. Another quote, I’m not sure from who, ‘Healing can happen just by realisation that we are alive, complete presence in the unrepeated miracle of each moment.’ I am alive See more

10.01.2022 On Monday, after hearing the extension of our Vic lockdown I decided to do a walking meditation to process and get clear. Fee had an appointment so I had the opportunity to walk somewhere different, and to my surprise, snuggled beside the Nepean Highway I discovered for the first time this serene park, lake with ducks & cross - to tick all the boxes, plus a perfectly blue sky. I was reminded that on every journey we can find an oasis, a place of peace and rest, and in the stillness, if we listen we can hear the voice and guidance. Namaste
