25.01.2022 It's time to refill my own cup. I'm going to this one (long overdue!) in March. Would any yogi-ni-s out there like to join me? Then have the best ever vegan dinner at Yong Green Food? https://www.ashtangamelbourne.com.au//adjusting-yoga-align

25.01.2022 The Bendigo Yoga Festival is back in town. There will be lots of different styles, teachers and classes. I will be teaching a dynamic hatha yoga class on Saturday at 8.30am. See you on the mats! Nina

24.01.2022 New day new tricks! Omni Y&M has a new logo for its mindfulness service, check it out

23.01.2022 After a well deserved summer break, the veteran community is back on the mats, starting on Monday 17 Feb! I really enjoy teaching this group and am grateful that yoga has become a regular offering for RSL

22.01.2022 This is the highlight of my Saturday. Offering a yoga class at the RSL veteran communitys mental health expo was an extraordinary experience where people from different backgrounds came together and took a moment for self-care, wellbeing, relaxation and fun. My gratitude goes to Craig, Kathryn and all the others who made it happen.

21.01.2022 In our high-paced modern world, employees in many workplaces are required to perform more and better, but often with less resources. It is crucial that we take care of our most precious asset the workforce itself and offer them optional, personal energy renewal opportunities during business hours, not in their private time. A standing desk or a discounted gym membership is simply not enough. I recently ran a 6-week Mindfulness in the Workplace course at the local shire council here in Central Victoria, and Im proud to say that this organisation takes wellbeing of employees seriously and sets an example for others who are contemplating options for their people. I am inspired and honoured to witness this.

21.01.2022 An interesting event coming up in Castlemaine on the topic of Eco-Buddhism, on 9 March. https://castlemainezen.com.au/events/fight-fire-with-fire

20.01.2022 My friend and mentor, Michael Bartura, will be running a retreat at the Yarra Valley Living Centre (Victoria, Australia) in January. Michael is a very experienced, compassionate and visionary coach and trainer, and I warmly recommend this to anyone. https://www.facebook.com/events/459968511384473/?active_tab=about

18.01.2022 This fabulous free online course by Monash University starts on 4 May. Practical, universal, fun, interactive.

17.01.2022 A growing number of workplaces and organisations recognise the importance of supporting the wellbeing of their employees in the work environment. Being able to recharge our batteries and having dedicated spaces and moments to manage our personal energy is what brings the best out of us and significantly helps us feel happier at work. An immersion retreat by Health Futures Australia last week demonstrated exactly this, where I designed a yoga and mindfulness program as part of their retreat program. What a great testament of an inspirational team that takes peoples wellbeing seriously. An added bonus for me personally was that it was a child friendly gig and offered a perfect work-life balance.

17.01.2022 Last night was our first ever men-only yoga class at RSL! Although it was a mere coincidence that no women turned up to the class, it was great to see the commitment of male veterans to personal health and wellbeing and keeping their immune system strong. In the current state of the world, we also practised high levels of personal hygiene - no adjustments from the teacher (me) and we washed our mats with antibacterial agents. There was a great vibe in the group, mentally, physically, emotionally.

17.01.2022 How do you set the scene for your day? How about grounding yourself in nature for 5 minutes by listening to the sounds, watching the sunrise, feeling the wind and smelling the air. My gratitude goes to the Australian native land on this beautiful morning. https://youtu.be/SWKTyKZxHmA

17.01.2022 Here's a wonderful retreat in Central Victoria that you may want to check out. Offered by the gorgeous Jessica Liston at Inner Rhythm. 20 February 2021. http://www.innerrhythm.com.au/experi/women-healing-retreat/

17.01.2022 I would love to have you at these meditations offered by YogaHara. You can come just as you are and explore the world of mindfulness meditation in a safe and supportive group. Whatever the challenge is that you currently might be experiencing, know that you are not alone and will be supported in a gentle, accepting and loving space.

17.01.2022 Nicky has always been my "asana guru". From practising poses safely, to healing from injuries and ailments, to awakening our innate healing ability, to the 80/20% focus, to adjusting safely and respectfully, to reconnect with ourselves in the most beautiful way we might have forgotten. She will push your buttons for sure, but only to the extend you're ready for, to help you learn and grow. And she is a fountain of unlimited compassion. If you're looking for a teacher training with a Master Teacher, I warmly recommend this one https://fb.me/e/DMyNWx5k

16.01.2022 This morning, I reflected on the different ways that workplaces have been coping with and are adapting to the significant physical, digital, economic and social changes across the world in the Covid-19 era. Every workplace is different, there is no cookie cutter solution to the challenges, and many of the future solutions that we will see occurring have not even been thought of yet. But what is currently true for many workplaces is that mental health, resilience and mindfulne...ss programs have become a top priority: employees at all levels are offered and encouraged to take up opportunities for self-care, both during the workday and in private time. A key function of such mental health and mindfulness programs is that they can be very effective in managing stress in acute situations such as in our 2020 global crisis, but they are also an investment for preventative and long-term wellbeing, performance and awareness. A month ago, I had the privilege to facilitate a mindfulness program at Coliban Water, which is a bright example of an organisation that takes employee wellbeing seriously and sees great value in developing the so-called soft (i.e. strong) skills in the workplace.

15.01.2022 Give yourself an early Christmas gift that keeps giving the more you use it . Mindfulness for Christmas workshop this Thursday at 6pm at YogaHara Bendigo. Id love to see you there. Nina

15.01.2022 We had some heavy rains in the midst of the bush fire season. Here's a happy insect going for a drink at the pine needle. Thanks Mother Earth

15.01.2022 Ill be running the "Mindfulness for Christmas" workshop at YogaHara on 12 December. Quite a few people have been asking about my mindfulness classes recently, so its wonderful to have this one back just before the festive season. You will learn (or refresh and remember) skills for staying present and centered, being less reactive to stressful situations, and how to return to a state of balance and wellbeing. http://www.yogahara.com.au//mindfulness-for-christmas-7keys

15.01.2022 Yoga for the veteran community starts in February. I look forward to seeing you there. (Omni Yoga & Mindfulness)

14.01.2022 Our YogaHara team gathered on Sunday to celebrate all the good stuff from 2019 and to start the festive season. Someone wise has said: "When two or more people get together, magic happens". My gratitude goes to Gina and everyone for another great year together. Have a peaceful Christmas and New Year

14.01.2022 Adopting a microcosmic view during bush walks reveals some amazing...cosmic dances, really! Doesn't this ordinary grass look pretty extraordinary? Next time you're out there, just stick you head to ground level, be in the moment, and see what happens

13.01.2022 Gentle yoga asanas with Nina. Treat yourself this weekend by joining me from your home for this 55min practice. Youll feel really good after it - Enjoy! (The video is part of a series of YogaHara at Home which I encourage you to subscribe to if youd like to experience our amazing teachers.) https://youtu.be/HM5FnvmDYP0

13.01.2022 This Saturday, Ill be running a gentle yoga & mindfulness class at the RSL Mental Wellness Expo. Come along and bring your people with you! https://www.facebook.com/events/936871226674814/?ti=as

13.01.2022 A little admin announcement to all clients: Omni Yoga & Mindfulness has become an Eftsure accredited service which means that payments will go through a verification process to minimise cyber crime and to ensure they arrive where theyre supposed to. Lets stay financially e-safe!

11.01.2022 And so the renovations have started...! My new space for sound healing, meditation, yoga and nature walks is emerging like a lotus flower from the mud There will be lots of banging, dust and sweat in the coming weeks but the creative process is very exciting and the result will be worth every effort (and cent) I really look forward to welcoming people in this pristine nature place and to co-creating beautiful things together ... Stay tuned P.s. The space has no name yet but I take suggestions

11.01.2022 The RSL veterans are back on the mats this week! We had many newcomers and had a great time. Did you know that the RSL is much more than old retired veterans who served in the Forces decades ago? My youngest student is 32 years old (no, actually I even had a 7 year old once!) and everyone has a unique story to tell. RSL is a vibrant community of people of all ages who are actively involved in the community in many ways. (Image by RSL Bendigo)

11.01.2022 In support of the workforce across the world and in recognition of the increasing stress that many currently experience, I am offering this free mindfulness meditation which you can practice anytime during your workday. In this meditation, we bring our attention to the sounds of the rain and it is perfect for moments when you need a break from your work and would like to reconnect with the sounds of nature and with the outdoors. Duration: 4 minutes. Offered to you with love by Omni Mindfulness https://youtu.be/QLkOEmJQ1P0

09.01.2022 Our next (free) Global Monthly Meditation is coming up. Join us for this planetary experience where we meditate simultaneously, at the same hour, everywhere in the world. When: Sunday 26 April 2020 Duration: 1 hour Time: 7am GMT/UTC (see below)... Local times below are indicative please check your own time zone if it doesnt appear here: 8am London 9am Vienna/Paris/Berlin 10am Doha 12.30pm Colombo 2pm Bangkok 3pm Hong Kong 5pm Victoria/Australia 5pm Queensland/Australia 7pm Auckland How: The idea is simple. Just find a suitable place where you can meditate undisturbed for 60 minutes. Perhaps use a discreet alarm for timekeeping. Sit comfortably, with your eyes either closed or gently open with an unfocused gaze. Connect with your breath and the sensations in the body and observe them with a kind, curious and open mind, without getting caught up in them. Sit as still as possible for the entire time, stay open to the sensations that come up in the present moment. If you cant do the whole hour, just do whatever is feasible youll still benefit from it. You can meditate alone or get together with friends. A great way to finish off the meditation is to send metta to the world. If you are unsure about how to meditate, please seek advice from an experienced teacher. If youd like to request metta for someone specifically, please send your request to me and Ill forward it to the group. If youd like to share your experiences afterwards, please do post them here - wed love to hear from you. Love, Nina

09.01.2022 Workplace meditations: In this early morning meditation, we awaken our senses to the singing of the amazing birds in Central Victoria.

08.01.2022 Good to see, once again, the benefits of yoga backed by scientific research. This article talks specifically about back pain and arthritis, but the benefits extend of course to our whole being.

08.01.2022 Day 1 of the sold-out Bendigo Yoga Festival was a success! The festival launched with my early morning Light Yoga and Sound Healing session, followed by an exquisite selection of styles and talented teachers. There's one more day to go to enjoy great classes and the company of friends & inspiring people. Thanks to Rosie & Oliver for organising the event, and a special thanks to my special assistant who spoiled me with some Italian sweets ... Yoga Festival Tribe

06.01.2022 I can't think of many better ways of spending my long weekends, even if it means time away from my dear little family!

03.01.2022 Wow, this is absolutely fantastic news! Both Monash University (where I studied) and The University of Melbourne (where I worked & studied) are opening simultaneously a Centre for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies. It's time to give these fields the attention and high profile they deserve. Thanks Jacqui for putting me onto this! https://www.monash.edu//generous-donation-helps-monash-ope https://about.unimelb.edu.au//university-welcomes-$10-mill

03.01.2022 Like Michelle Obama in her post wrote "We should all take a moment to EXHALE after everything we've been through". I'm absolutely thrilled, relieved & grateful about the US election results! Congrats to Biden and Kamala and every individual behind the scenes. Thinking of my family members & friends in the US and what a significant impact this has on our whole planet, including everyone in non-USA! Hope and optimism have returned, yay!!!

03.01.2022 Congratulations to all teacher training graduates at YogaHara for this stellar achievement! And a very special, heartfelt one to my mentee, Maggie, whose journey I was privileged to be part of. Sunday's ceremony was awesome, filled with love, excitement, a sense of accomplishment and a few tears too. Gratitude goes to Gina Macauley who is the amazing heart, mind and inspiration behind it all.

03.01.2022 I cant think of many better ways of spending my long weekends, even if it means time away from my dear little family!

03.01.2022 Bendigo Health has been hosting weekly Spring Soul Sessions for their people to encourage to take time for self-care and reflection during the work day. Last Tuesday, my secular mindfulness session was about taking a moment to pause, breathe and reconnect with ourselves. Thank you Karen Lunney for inviting me to be part of this initiative. Its an excellent reminder of how important it is to give for ourselves and theres nothing selfish about it.

03.01.2022 As the autumn days get shorter and the temperatures drop closer to zero, an inspirational read and a warm cuppa really touch my heart. What an absolute winner, this article about the Digby The Horse and the Walers project in the latest issue of Australian Geographic, as we are heading towards the Anzac Day celebrations! You are a true inspiration, Jess at Inner Rhythm - Herd wisdom for the leader within. Crab a copy at your local newsagent if you get a chance!

02.01.2022 Have you tried mindfulness meditation yet? One of the best forms of self-care we can give ourselves. Starting on 14 July.

02.01.2022 The gorgeous Gina and YogaHara in the Bendigo Advertiser today
