24.01.2022 We love our T5D community.

23.01.2022 COVID-19 is showing us that when humanity is united in common cause, phenomenally rapid change is possible. None of the world’s problems are technically difficult to solve; they originate in human disagreement. In coherency, humanity’s creative powers are boundless... . COVID-19 is like a rehab intervention that breaks the addictive hold of normality. To interrupt a habit is to make it visible; it is to turn it from a compulsion to a choice. When the crisis subsides, we might have occasion to ask whether we want to return to normal, or whether there might be something we’ve seen during this break in the routines that we want to bring into the future. . From the @charles_eisenstein essay ‘Coronation’

22.01.2022 We just want to raise our hands in gratitude for the teachers keeping our online offering up and running. With the physical studio closed, it hasn’t been easy, and these folks are currently working purely out of their desire to be of service. For the love of what they do, and from the understanding that movement and meditation is so important right now. We don’t need to name these awesome people, you’ll see them when you join our program. However, we want to say thank you and we love you for everything you do to hold our little T5D community together.

21.01.2022 Our online studio has been up and running for a week now and we’re proud of what’s been pulled together in such a short space of time. Most especially, our community, who have stuck with us every step of the way. We’re loving the uplifting conversation in our member’s WhatsApp group the laughter, the support, the random acts of kindness. . To make things simple, we’ve decided to now offer just one single membership, $35 per week for full access to all our classes, our coaches and our resources. . Furthermore, we are offering free access to anyone working in Healthcare. It’s the least we can do to support those on the frontline. But quite frankly, if you’re hurting financially at the moment, just reach out, we’ll make it work. What’s most important to us is just to be of service. So come join us. Move. Meditate. Turn inward.

20.01.2022 Given the current situation with coronavirus (COVID-19), here at T5D while not seeking to increase the overriding fear that unfortunately seems to be the prevailing vibration at this time we are proceeding with prudent awareness. . As such, we are taking precautionary and necessary measures to protect the health and wellbeing of our members, patrons and staff. To that end, we are cleaning our studio, bathrooms and equipment on a much more frequent basis, as well as provi...ding (good quality) hand sanitiser and soaps. We also ask everyone who visits us to please maintain good hygiene, to wash your hands before a session and to refrain from making unnecessary contact with others. . Most importantly, if you are feeling in any way unwell, please refrain from attending the studio at this time. . We have also made the decision to cancel Sunday’s classes while we properly assess how to proceed. We have a number of options available to us, including streaming our classes online, but at this stage, the regular schedule is set to continue from Monday. We will update you immediately should that change. . Thank you and much love from us as always. . Asher, Duncan and the T5D team. See more

17.01.2022 As many of you know, we recently moved T5D online after the COVID-19 restrictions meant the temporary closure of the studio. We also had to streamline our classes a little just to keep sustainable. As a result, we were saddened to lose Kundalini Yoga from the schedule. Not only was it a popular offering, it fit beautifully with our ‘Move.Meditate’ mantra, as well as our philosophy surrounding the four aspects of wellness physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. . But now...... we’re excited to announce a collaboration with Kundalini House which sees Kundalini Yoga back on the menu with three classes (plus a Hatha class). . Now our T5D community are able to join these selected online sessions via Kundalini House, with their members provided access to some of our Move classes (including Animal Flow) and our sacred circles. . While we find ourselves in difficult times at the moment, it’s very gratifying to be part of community-focused initiatives like this, and @duncanmcdaidept and @asherpackman would like to thank Billie, Pip and the team at Kundalini House for embracing this so wholeheartedly. It’s certainly helping us find our happy place right now! . You can check out the revised online schedule at www.t5d.com.au/timetable and remember, our free intro offer still stands. Come join us!

14.01.2022 Now more than ever, right? . As previously indicated, the impact of COVID-19 has required us to tighten our schedule. . Please swipe to check out the current timetable. Note that all Meditate classes (including our men’s and women’s circles) now have an online option and this may be expanded to include some Move classes shortly.... . Members can contact us at [email protected] for access codes. . All Coronavirus protocols remain in place at the studio. Stay well and much love. Asher and Duncan See more

13.01.2022 Honestly, are you feeling this kind of resistance, maybe even more so lately? Be it through movement, meditation, breathwork or even an ice bath, we encourage our community to together turn inward and reconnect with their own true nature. Underneath that potential layer of initial discomfort there’s a limitless vein of gold.

12.01.2022 #repost @asherpackman Having been involved with the AO and Australian Pro Tour for nearly a decade now, I’ve had the privilege of seeing a lot of young tennis players develop. Along the way, you meet some genuine good humans, and @lukesaville18 is one of them. I remember sitting in the presser after he won the AO Juniors back in 2012 and you got that sense even then. I was pleased to find out he was a @carlton_fc fan too. Now he’s a freshly minted Grand Slam doubles finalist (with @maxpurcelll at this year’s Australian Open) and he still hasn’t brushed me! Great knowing you brother and best of luck this week and beyond. Thanks for dropping by to see us at @thefifthdirection_

12.01.2022 One to consider in these times.#spreadlove

10.01.2022 Dear T5D Community, you are the lifeblood of who we are, and the studio space we have co-created over the last year stands as testament to what can be achieved when people come together with their hearts and minds open. We love the energy of the space and the welcoming vibe apparent to everyone who enters. When you think of how much movement, meditation, breathing, playing, ice plunging and sitting in sacred communion has gone on within these four walls, it is little wonder. ...Thanks to you! . Lately, with the impact of COVID-19 steadily making itself more apparent, we’ve done our utmost to continue offering you a refuge to move, meditate and more, but with the Victorian government announcement, the T5D studio must close as a physical space for an as-yet-undetermined period. Our last day of scheduled classes in the studio was today. . We have now reduced the timetable to a single daily MOVE class and MEDITATE class, along with the men’s and women’s circles on Tuesday and Thursday nights respectively. These will all be offered online only. . Read our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2WEb8HM to find out more about changes to membership and other resources we plan to offer. . Much love always.

10.01.2022 Live Animal Flow session Zoom-style with @duncanmcdaidept and friends. Yep, it’s tricky, but there’s something wonderful about our kids keeping us in playful presence.

09.01.2022 Some juice from DD to consider right about now.

09.01.2022 #repost @asherpackman It’s great to be back. A big Wim Hof Method and HeartMath intensive with my co-conspirator @mattyrad29 on a seriously chilly Sunday morn. Thanks to our intrepid warriors for digging so deep in heart and mind.

04.01.2022 We’ve been bringing meditation to our healthcare warriors recently with @asherpackman running a Zoom session for staff at the Alfred Hospital last night (thanks @symonsjoel) as well as discussing the benefits on an interview with @snowdomefoundation, who are dedicated to improving the outcome for Australians with blood cancer. . A reminder from Asher and @duncanmcdaidept that anyone working in healthcare is able to access our online offering (Move and Meditate) at no cost. An invitation to those connected to Snowdome is also in place. Just send us a message and we will set you up.
