10.01.2022 If you're interested in yoga for trauma recovery I'm giving a session in this free online healing summit coming up this weekend. It's organised by Sarah in Victoria - a very generous person who decided to pull this together while home schooling her kids during lockdown. I give a presentation about how yoga helps you heal from psychological trauma, including guided breath and relaxation practices. I hope it reaches people who need ways of staying calm and strong during this very difficult year.

08.01.2022 This is your chance to learn how to play the harmonium and sing kirtan - only $20 for a 2-hour kirtan workshop with Melissa Howden. Then stay on for chai & bliss balls, chanting a Sanskrit healing mantra, and an hour of blissful kirtan. See you there.

There are also extra workshops to deepen your knowledge, plus a real treat for our musical yogis - don't miss the Yoga & Song classes with Sangita. It's all in the newsletter and on the website. See you at yoga!

08.01.2022 If you are feeling like you need some time out before Christmas, these day retreats at Murdunna have been very popular. A space to breathe, relax and just be in the noble company of others in the beauty of nature. There are still a few spaces left. Sangita

08.01.2022 Why Mindfulness Meditation? Last week I asked my mindfulness group to reflect on what changes or benefits they had noticed in their lives during the past 8 weeks. Susan (name changed) was quite emotional as she shared with us the following. She said, I’ve never thought of myself as a successful person, you know, I’m single and I’m in my 50s and I don’t have a partner. I also don’t own my house, I only rent, and my car’s not great. And I worry a lot about where I'm going to... be in 10 years time. But during these last 8 weeks I’ve come to appreciate that I have two beautiful daughters who i have a really good relationship with and who are really good people. When I’m lying in bed at night I have one cat on my right hip and one cat on my left hip who are purring. I love my cats. And instead of worrying so much about where I'll be in 10 years time, I'm just focusing my attention on today and not worrying so much about the future. She said, I feel content. Learning to practice mindfulness meditation doesn’t necessarily change the outer circumstances of life, but by paying more attention to our inner life we begin to get a new perspective. Instead of seeing that our lives are half empty (and having our attention on the empty part) we begin to see that our lives are in fact quite full, and our attention shifts to appreciating that. Still spaces left in the new Mindfulness courses starting tomorrow night. Would love to have you with us. Sangita

07.01.2022 We're delighted to be offering you this special program with Ahimsa and Sangita. The Yoga Capsules is a holistic set of yoga practices that fit into our busy lifestyles. There are daily and weekly practices, ensuring that you're always topping up with a little yoga! Numbers are limited due to social distancing, so don't delay booking on.

05.01.2022 Some photos from the weekend as we delved into some of the more esoteric aspects of yoga including neti, tree puja & havan. Being out of town was the perfect place. Thank you for having us at the Place of Many Stars. #yoga #southhobart #murdunna

05.01.2022 Kirtan Workshop Thankyou everyone for a joyful afternoon of music making. What a dedicated bunch! For some the first time ever, and for others a chance to ref...ine skills. At the end we felt... EXPANSIVE SETTLED CLEAR RARE JOYFUL SOULFUL TENDER GROUNDED May your days be filled with song, until next time.. #kirtan #yoga #music

04.01.2022 Last month's kirtan crew, we had such a great time. All instruments welcome. Can you see the cello in this picture? It's kind of hiding, but wow you cannot hide its deep resonating vibration. Sangita

03.01.2022 Deepen your experience of yoga with mantra, kirtan, ritual, yoga psychology and much more!

03.01.2022 Kirtan time again! Learn how at Sangita's workshop.

03.01.2022 When you think about it, our vanity is largely concerned with how we want to appear to others so that we will be liked, respected, and valued; so that we will m...ake a particular impression. So, what if we could drop this need to be seen in a particular way? What if we were secure enough in ourselves to not care! Watching the program about Cathy Freeman this week, I was struck by so many of the things she said, as were many of my friends. She embodied inner wisdom, acceptance & faith. She made the point that when there is nothing you can do to change a situation, when you have no control over it, make peace with it, and then be FREE. She was talking about the Press frenzy in the lead up to the final of her 400m race at the 2000 Olympics, so she simply made peace with the situation in her own mind, kept it seperate from herself as if it was on the other side of a window, and then was FREE. Free to focus on winning her race, living her dream, taking hold of her destiny. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out on iview. Oh and to give a context, this term my Thursday night yoga class is focusing on Sivananda's 'ities'. This week it was Absence of Vanity. Sw. Sivananda loved to play with the English language and he made up a little song with 18 of these 'ities'. He recommended as well as practicing asana, pranayama, relaxation and meditation, it was important to cultivate personal disciplines and attributes. Here they are! Serenity, regularity, absence of vanity, Sincerity, simplicity, veracity, Equanimity, fixity, non-irratibility, Adaptability, humility, tenacity, Integrity, nobility, magnanimity, Charity, generosity, purity, Practice daily these eighteen 'ities' You will soon attain immortality. #yoga philosophy

02.01.2022 Dear All, Happy to let you know my next Wellbeing for Cancer course is beginning again in October. If you, or someone you know, is struggling in the aftermath of treatment this might just be the thing!

01.01.2022 Early bird finishes this Friday! Love to have you join us.

01.01.2022 Thursday night students, I saw this post and knew it was for you!!! This term in class we are looking at Sw Sivananda's 'ities'. Along with postures, breathing and meditation practices, Sivananda taught that it was also necessary to cultivate personal disciplines and attitudes. He loved playing with the English language and he came up with a little song which has become known as the Eighteen ities of Swami Sivananda. Serenity, regularity, absence of vanity,... Sincerity, simplicity, veracity, Equanimity, fixity, non-irratibility, Adaptability, humility, tenacity, Integrity, nobility, magnanimity, Charity, generosity, purity, Practice daily these eighteen 'ities' You will soon attain immortality.
