SELF CARE SUNDAY WORKSHOPS
A special workshop on the last Sunday of every month.
YOGA NAP in August
Supported Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra
In a culture focused around doing more, achieving more and being constantly busy, it is crucial to slow down in order to give a chance to our body and mind to rest and restore. This 2-hour workshop is an excellent opportunity to do just that.
We will start with a supported restorative yoga practice to deeply relax the body, rest the mind and soothe the nervous system. You will be completely supported by the props and the body’s natural healing abilities are brought to the fore.
We will follow with Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, a deep relaxation technique that leads you through the layers of your being: physical, mental, emotional, and energetic. Yoga Nidra takes us to a state of consciousness between being asleep and awake.
It is a powerful guided meditation to help us let go of stress and anxiety, to release the roots of long-held tensions, and tune into our inner wisdom. As we rest in Savasana (Corpse pose), Yoga Nidra brings us to a place of calm and clarity within where we experience profound inner peace and stillness through complete relaxation.
What to bring:
- Comfortable, loose clothing
- An eye-pillow (optional)

SELF CARE SUNDAY WORKSHOPS
A special workshop on the last Sunday of every month.
Yin and Restorative Yoga for Winter Support
As we move deeper into winter, this is a perfect time to slow down, reflect, turn inwards and rest. Join us for a Yin-spired Restorative Yoga session, commencing with a softening and meditative Yin yoga practice focusing on longer, floor-based, passive-held poses to relax our musculature and work on connective tissue.
We will also balance the subtle energy system within the body to leave you feeling nourished and rejuvenated.
We will follow by a deeply relaxing Restorative Yoga practice to restore and reset the nervous system.
Come take a break from the stresses of a busy urban life and experience deep peace.

YIN YOGA CLASSES
Come on a contemplative journey to deeply relax your body, calm your mind, inspire your soul, and access your inner wisdom.
Yin Yoga is a gentle and slow-paced form of yoga with floor-based and longer held postures. It is based on the Taoist concept of yin and yang, opposite and complementary elements. Yin Yoga targets deep connective tissue such as fascia, ligaments, bones and joints. A Yin Yoga practice helps you release physical tension and tightness, as well as diffuse stagnant energy and harmonise chi flow in the body.
We cultivate mind awareness and find peace in stillness by weaving through breath and Mindfulness techniques to make the class a deeply nurturing and meditative practice.
It is a practice suitable for beginners and an excellent complement to a yang practice targeting muscles.
Small-group size for personalised attention and support.
IN THIS CLASS, YOU WILL:
- Leave feeling relaxed, at ease and rejuvenated
- Learn the principles of a Yin Yoga practice
- Develop skills to listen better to the wisdom of your body
- Create space and experience a greater range of movement through the joints
- Learn relaxation and breathing techniques that may stay with you for life
- Experience the peace of stillness
- See and experience yourself differently
- Sleep better, have more energy, feel stronger and more flexible
- Deepen your inner journey with this meditative practice

FREE NEW MOON REIKI HEALING
I am sending reiki healing every month, on the day after the new moon between 8.30-9pm AEST (Melbourne, Australia time) for loving support and guidance.
A new moon is a new cycle and symbolises new beginnings. It is the perfect time to set your intentions, new goals and create your vision for the cycle ahead. It is a time to focus your awareness and energy on positive and loving intentions, to raise your vibrations and manifest what you desire.
At the time of the session, you don’t have to do anything special except relax and receive the peaceful energy. If you are not available at the same time, it’s fine, just imagine receiving the healing when you open the email or before going to bed for my US friends.
If you would like to join, sign up to my newsletter in the sidebar, as I send reiki to everyone on the list. You will then receive an email with what came up during the session. As a bonus when you sign up, you will also receive my free eBook The Mindful Week Journal.
If you would like personalised healing, distance reiki treatments are available.
