Top tips for re-setting

Dear everyone

A joy full new year to you all! As we can all sense, the new year marks the beginning of a new cycle and as a result can often be a time of reflection for many.

We have recently completed our 6th Annual Summer Yoga Intensive that consisted of daily morning yoga classes over 5 mornings. This year, the intensive ran via Zoom rather than live due to the current Covid-19 restrictions held on the Northern Beaches.

At the completion of the intensive, one of the participants asked for ‘resetting tips’ to support her connection to her body throughout the day. We therefore felt to take the opportunity to share in this newsletter these with you all.

Embracing Change

As we draw towards the end of 2020, this year for many has been one of change and learning to be adaptable.

On a global scale, we have seen the effects of the pandemic which has had not only economic impacts on a micro and macro level but also mental and emotional impacts as people have had to learn to adapt to changes within their lives such as loss of income, jobs and business closure due to lockdown, for some not being able to see family and friends, home schooling, learning how to deal and operate in a world where we have had social distancing, fear of catching the virus (particularly for those who already have compromised health) to name a few.

Yoga & Healing COVID-19 update

This is a brief communication to keep everyone formally informed on the changes of Yoga & Healing services due to and in response to what was declared the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic.

In accordance with the Australian Government and the Department of Health directives and guidelines we have closed our clinics and as such we are currently not able to offer face to face sessions. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

In response, we are expanding our activity online.

January 2019 Summer Yoga Intensive

Reconnecting to your inner-heart

2nd – 6th January 2019 | 7 – 8am | Warriewood Northern Beaches

This intensive is a self-honouring start to your New Year which offers you the gift of resetting and developing a new foundation from which you can move forward into 2019.

Over these 5 morning classes we will explore how to reconnect to the body and to your being. It is through this connection that we come to know our inner-heart, a place that resides within each one of us. It is through a deep honouring of the body that the being that resides within the body can then express outwardly from the inner-heart.

Welcoming the Festive Season

The message that we would like to finish this year with is that the evolution that is offered to us from choosing to heal and reclaim our health and wellbeing is the greatest gift that we can give ourselves. This reflection of living the fullness of us is also the greatest gift we can give another – offering the inspiration that it is possible and that they can choose it too.

The more we make the choice to discard patterns, behaviours, ideals and beliefs that no longer serve us, the more our body works with us to release those held energies in our body, allowing the space for us to express and live from our true essence, which ultimately brings us much joy.

In this article we would also like to offer further support for the “Silly Season” – many of you have shared over the years being affected by it.

Our latest news March 2017

We are into March and we have had a change of season. Observing the change in season reminds us that life is never static and that there will always be change. What we have found is that the more connected we are, then life can have its ebbs and flows, yet we can remain centred and still amongst the busyness of what goes on without being affected by our external circumstances.

The more we focus on deepening our inner quality of being the more we are equipped to handle what comes our way in work, relationships and friendships. We can foster the deepening of our inner connection in every moment through our quality of movement.

Christmas with Connection

It’s that time of year again, the silly season. December has dawned upon us and we draw close to the end of yet another year.

December can be a tricky time for many, school finishing, work being busy as we try to get it all done by the end of the year, festivities with Christmas parties, catching up with friends and family, the extra spending, perhaps later nights than usual, eating and drinking more.

Opening up to Space

Our outer world, the environment we live in reflects our inner world.

We have been exploring of late what it feels like to create space in our physical environment ie. our home and/or office and how this affects how we feel in our body.

If we come back to “everything is energy, therefore everything is because of energy” (Serge Benhayon), then it is common sense that as we let go of physical possessions whether that be clothes, CD’s that we no longer listen to, books that just sit and gather dust, this physical discarding reflects a shift within ourselves and brings about a sense of lightness and ease in our body.

Quality is everything

Having just experienced this year’s Universal Medicine Health Retreat in Vietnam, one of the main points (amongst an absolute jammed pack 5 days of gems) that has really stood out for us is the importance of taking the quality of our being into movement – movement including all the various ways in which we express.
