Gift yourself and your students this training\, and sign up\, it will change the way you teach!\nKATE PIPPOS | HEAD OF YOGA AT VIRGIN ACTIVE | SYDNEY\, AUSTRALIA\n \n\n\n‘I can hardly think of any supplementary training for Yoga Teachers that is more relevant than Lauren’s Mental Health Aware Yoga training! I will recommend all of our trainees – and in fact all Yoga Teachers – to do this training to educate themselves in these very important topics. Because in all yoga classes that we teach there is likely to be several students affected by stress\, anxiety\, depression or trauma – and we want to be able to hold the space and teach the yoga that support their inner journeys in the best possible way\, too\, right?’\nBODIL STENTEBJERG   |  YOGA TEACHER\, TRAINER + STUDIO OWNER  |  COPENHAGEN\, DENMARK \n\n‘If you’re interested in supporting your community with yoga\, I highly recommend the Mental Health Aware Yoga training with Dr Lauren Tober.

SUMMARY:Find Balance through Sound (self paced)
DESCRIPTION:Self Paced event. Find a deeper connection to stillness and life through the yoga of sound. Chanting is known to: Increase breath control\n\nInfluence heart rate\n\nLower blood pressure\n\nEase muscle tension\n\nImprove digestion\n\nReduce pain and assist healing\n\nActivate different part of the brain\n\nStimulate learning and memory\n\nHelp us focus on positive words and phrases\, involving gratitude and peace\n\nUnite people and enhance a sense of connection with others\n\nHelp prepare for pranayama\, meditation or prayer\n\nMay reduce snoring by toning the muscles of the throatThrough practice\, we draw senses inward to quiet the mind. In this stillness\, we can experience more subtle aspects of being that resides beyond the mind; a oneness and wholeness with all of life and a sense of profound peace. Mantra is a reminder to treat our words as sacred\, creative and divine.   What we think and say\, we create.  Inspired by Deepak Chopra’s ‘Seven Spiritual Laws of Success’\, these 10-15 minute seated practices offer reflection\, self enquiry\, connection and stillness through mantra repetition (japa) and meditation.  There are 7 recordings in this series which run through my ‘Radiant Wellbeing’ APP so you can practice anywhere\, anytime.

SUMMARY:FOOT WORKSHOP - WALKING WITH EASE

Participants will be introduced to principles of the Alexander technique in order to better understand the direct influence whole body balance and coordination has upon the feet. \nThe workshop will also cover practical anatomy as well as simple yoga postures for re-activating the feet. \n​

SUMMARY:Relieving Stiffness and Pain
DESCRIPTION:The somatic movement solution anyone can do\nA two-and-a-half-hour workshop with Tina Shettigara\nPerhaps you are in a body that has seen many birthdays already. Perhaps it hasbeen injured or you have conditions like fibromyalgia. Whatever the reason\, the thing we have in common is stiffness and pain in the body. It makes us not want to move\, but unfortunately that can often make it worse! \nGentle movements that really work\nIn this workshop you will learn gentle movements that really work to relieve the stiffness and pain that is holding you back from full enjoyment of life.I have seen amazing improvements for many people and in my own body\, especially in these areas of pain\, low range of motion and postural problems: \n\nLower back\nNeck and shoulders\nHips\nHamstrings\nJaws\nHead forward posture\nStooping\nSway back\n\nSuitable for nearly everyone\nThe movements are exceedingly gentle. In this workshop we will do most of our work lying on a yoga mat on the floor. Ability to get down there and up again later (albeit slowly perhaps) is all that is needed. A chair next to your mat to assist you in this is fine. \nParticipants will need to bring their own yoga mat. (If you can’t please contact me as I can provide a few.) \nInvestment\n$65 per participant $50 concession for pensioners\, health card holders\, full time students and Veterans card holders – use coupon code SOM-CONC when paying \n2 February 2025\n1.30 – 4:00 pm \nEliza Hall @ Payinthi\nProspect Council Centre128 Prospect RoadProspect SA 5082 \n$65\nConcession $50 REGISTER HERE
