25.01.2022 EASTER BREAK... Hey Yogis and Yoginis, we are taking the four day Easter break this year for a change, but will be back with our Tuesday class straight after Easter, and our Saturday classes as usual from April 22. We wish you all a very happy and safe holiday. Namaste! Shanthi & Yuan. Shanthi Bhavana Yoga Wellness.

25.01.2022 10 Reasons Why Singing, Chanting, or Humming is Good for Us... In Yoga the practice of singing, chanting, humming and toning have long been recognized as practical exercises in creating and maintaining proper physical and mental health. Here’s a few reasons why... 1 Releases endorphins and increases levels of oxytocin; 2 Improves posture, breathing and blood-flow; 3 Saves money: our voice is our free human instrument; 4 Creates new neural pathways and improves brain meta-plasticity; 5 Wards off age-related decline by continuously 'exercising' our brain; 6 Heals depression, strokes and speech abnormalities; 7 Promotes social bonding and cohesion; and helps us rediscover our own identity; 8 Relieves mental health issues: we feel happier, better connected and supported; 9 Connects with other diverse voices and our community; 10 Allows us to be smarter, healthier, happier and more creative. As John Lennon and George Harrison said, and the title of their "Beatles" book on travelling through India in the '60s... "Chant and Be Happy!"

21.01.2022 In our Yoga class we touched on the Doshas, what they are are how they define our body energy system, as part of the Ayurvedic medical philosophy which is a wonderfully integrative complementary system to the art and science of Yoga. Have you ever wondered what actually accounts for differences in people? Why are some people hyperactive and fast moving, while others exude grace and stillness? Why can some people eat a five-course meal with ease, while others can barely finish... a salad? Why are some people inherently joyous, while others carry the weight of the world on their shoulders? Modern genetics offers some insight, but what about the characteristics and idiosyncrasies that make every person unique? Ayurveda answers all of these questions with the Three Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Check out this great site for more information: Ayurveda 101: The Three Doshas- Vata, Pitta, Kapha Ayurvedic cooking for healing is ancient, timeless, practical wisdom based upon taste, hot and cold energy and the post-digestive effect of food at the cellular level EATTASTEHEAL.COM

11.01.2022 Our "Ageless Yoga" just got older... Until last week, our oldest student (private therapy client Fred), was 94. Now a new student has started in our "Chair Flow Yoga" class, at a group aged care facility where we run regular Yoga for seniors. He is 101! (no name or photo because of aged-care rules of privacy, which I respect). I can tell you, at 101, he is remarkably active and agile, and handled both standing and seated Yogasana practice with seemingly effortless ease that m...akes his age look more like late 70's. For his first yoga session ever, he is amazing! And he enjoyed it! These people constantly inspire me, and keep me going. I am so grateful for the opportunity to do this work... its such a privilege. Thank you! Shanthi. See more

05.01.2022 Yoga at Age 94! In 1938 Raymond 'Fred' Bartholomew joined the Royal Navy at age 15 and after 6 months basic training was sent off into battle in WWII at the tender age of just 16. He saw much action on the high seas, even coming up against the mighty German battleship "Bismarck" in the Mediterranean Sea - one of the main theatres of war where many ships and crew served, and often perished. His ship was sunk and he was taken into a prison camp for 7 months, then repatriated ba...ck to the UK, where he was again sent out to sea... this time on dangerous Russian convoys to the frozen north. 'Fred', as he prefers to be called, is highly decorated and to say that he has had a colourful life is a major understatement. Last year, at age 93 'Fred' came to us for massage and Therapeutic Yoga to help with stiff painful shoulders, hips and legs, and general lack of flexibility. Yes... he started Yoga at 93! And he has been coming ever since. A year later, now 94, 'Fred' enjoys his regular private Yoga sessions with us, and also practices every day at home! He is doing wonderfully and his flexibility and ROM have improved greatly. He says, "When I first came to see you I could hardly walk, I was in so much pain. Now I have so much more movement, and no pain... I feel great!" Although he is a gentleman in every sense of the word and English tradition and a very humble man, he has kindly allowed us to post his story and pictures here to help us to inspire many other older people to give Yoga a go for their self-management of health and wellness. As Sri T. Krishnamacharya often said, "As long as you are still breathing, you can practice Yoga!" There is a level of Yoga for every person. We love having 'Fred' come to private Therapeutic Yoga sessions - he has become a great friend. He is very disciplined and is working at opening stiff joints, increasing flexibility and greater range-of-motion, stimulating greater breath and circulation. May he continue to inspire us all and enjoy long life, and his Yoga path. Sri Shanthi Bhavana Yoga Wellness shanthibhavana.com See more
