Cultivating Trust with Independence
Trust is a key concept in trauma informed practice and it is one of the five trauma informed principles (along with Safety, Choice, Empowerment and Collaboration). Generally, it refers to interpersonal boundaries, clarity, and consistency, but what does this look like in a yoga context? And why is it so important for people recovering after trauma?
Sacred Agreements: Conscious Parenting
Lord Krishna tells us in Chapter Six of the Bhagavad Gītā that it is a fortunate birth to be born into a family of yogis. Why is it fortunate? How will yogic parents, a yogic family, benefit those born into them? The grace of being born into a yogic environment is that those around do not only see the child as a little boy or girl. They do not see those born of their sperm and ovum as their offspring, as a project to shape and mould to fit into their own image, or the cultural acceptable standard
Sharath Jois and the Mysore Legacy Part 2

What is yoga?
With its roots firmly grounded in ancient eastern teachings, Yoga is recognised as a traditional system of wisdom, principles and practices derived from the Vedic teachings of India.
Yoga takes a holistic approach to the integrated and innate wisdom of the human mind-body connection, with modern science nowadays beginning to uncover and fortify these ancient teachings and the many benefits this practice holds for your biological, psychological and sociological well-being.
Ultimately, yoga is a tool that may be used for self-discovery, stress-management, physical health & fitness, and mental & emotional wellbeing.
Yoga Australia is the peak national body for registration and representation of Yoga professionals from all traditions and styles of yoga, independent from any one lineage or training provider.
As the peak body for yoga in Australia, we actively advocate for positive change and improvement within the profession. This includes engaging with government and the health industry, lobbying for better pay and conditions for yoga teachers, promoting a broader understanding of yoga’s benefits for health and well-being, conducting industry forums, and collaborating with stakeholders both within and outside the yoga community.
