Relieving Stiffness and Pain

The somatic movement solution anyone can do
A two-hour workshop with Tina Shettigara
Perhaps you are in a body that has seen many birthdays already. Perhaps it has just been 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!
Gentle movements that really work
In 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:

Lower back
Neck and shoulders
Hips
Hamstrings
Jaws
Head forward posture
Stooping
Sway back

Suitable for nearly everyone
The 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.
Participants will need to bring their own yoga mat. (If you can’t please contact me as I can provide a few.)

$50 per participant

This series is designed for all levels, whether you’re a beginner looking to build core strength or an experienced yogi seeking to refine your inversion practice. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your core strength and elevate your inversion skills. Join us for both workshops to experience the best of both teaching styles and unlock the power of your core!

Restorative Yoga & Meditation Program Online
2024-02-12 19:15 - 20:15, 2024-02-19 19:15 - 20:15, 2024-02-26 19:15 - 20:15 (Australia/Melbourne) | Kyo Yoga & Healing, 17 Platypus Court, Ocean Grove, Victoria, 3226, Australia
When is yoga really restorative? When if offers space and ease (sukham) to all layers of the human system. Many styles of ‘restorative yoga’ focus on techniques that actually create strain or mental agitation by pushing the body into postures that constrict rather than release. For yoga to be restorative it needs to accomodate the needs of the person not put them into a one size fits all mould.
This 6 week on line program offers yoga that feels easeful and allows the full experience of letting go of held tensions and strain – in body and mind. The postures are gentle, grounded and readily adaptable for different bodies. Time will be taken to explore what you need.
Staying is a focus but gentle movement will be used to encourage ease and restore energy to balance.
As we wind our way through relaxing the nervous system via the breath, focus and imagery (bhavana) will be incorporated to enhance the restorative effect and provide focus for the mind.
Bhavana is a powerful tool – ‘what we think, we become’ and the practices will offer us the experience of creating positive focuses for the mind.
The meditative focus each week will be on a different element (bhuta) according to Ayurveda – earth, fire, wind, space, water – and their manifestation in our body. We are made up of all these elements and when in balance assist our body to be well.
Yoga tools for self care will be explained to take into daily life.
The final 20 minutes of practice will offer guided meditation that leads to silence and time for inner space and reflection.
When: Monday February 5 – March 11
Time: 7.15pm-8.15pm
Online via Zoom
Suitable for all levels of experience and those wishing to engage in a gentler yoga practice leading to an experience of meditation. If you have tried forms of meditation before and find it difficult to focus, this practice may offer a new way arriving in meditation for you.
A great practice for calming body and mind and preparing for rest and good sleep.

Menopause Yoga Class - Wednesday 14 at 7pm

The Science and Art of Awakening Human Consciousness - Session Consciousness
2024-02-16 09:30 - 14:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Biomedical Institute of Yoga and Meditation, 66 Pacey Road, Upper Brookfield, QLD, 4069, Australia
This session will initially explore consciousness through the five-level panchamaya yoga model. We will also experientially and briefly touch upon the science of consciousness in meditation with reference to the work of cognitive neuroscientists Dr Anil Seth and Dr Donald Hoffman. Most importantly, we will explore the field of consciousness that is beyond body, mind, birth, life & death. This field of consciousness is what the great yogis have explored throughout the ages, taking us to a deeper understanding of what science has not yet proven: the recognition that consciousness and energy are the same and not separate.

“The whole universe, inside and out, are manifestations of the same Universal Force: ChitShakti.”

~ Michael Singer
On a more personal level, we will explore both resistance and acceptance within, noticing how the mind dictates heavily what we do and don’t want. The deep spiritual teaching lies in the recognition that the World isn’t always going to give us what we want. Our minds are constructing a reality of what we think we want. Therefore it is wise that we remain open, without expectation, to the moment unfolding right in front of us. What is unfolding in front of us is the reality of where our consciousness meets the moment that just is.

“You attract and manifest whatever corresponds to your inner state.”

Eckhart Tolle
Let us explore the radiance behind all that is…

Join Sue Everett for an online Slow-Paced Yoga sequence for students who would prefer and/or benefit from a more slowly paced, less vigorous class, without inverted poses. Most of the poses will be taught using a chair to offer maximum support, as well as fresh perspectives on how to perform common poses with this yoga prop. Most of this class will be taught using a chair, and along with your yoga mat, it will be useful to have additional yoga props, such as a bolster and a yoga strap. About the Presenter:Teaching is something I have always loved doing. As a former dancer, I have a unique skill set that is deeply informed by a lifetime of movement-based techniques. This ongoing study of form, function, stability & movement assists in delivering a clear pathway of how to resolve any issues you may have. Currently based in Melbourne, I travel to teach within Australia & overseas. I am a senior level yoga teacher, trainer & mentor with over 32 years experience; read more here… I offer teacher training and mentoring for teachers wishing to deepen their skill-sets: click to read more… My vision at Still_Move Yoga™ is to assist students to go beyond what they thought possible. I am deeply inspired by working with people at all stages of their yoga experience & helping each individual reach their yoga goals. By sharing my depth of experience methodically and clearly, through live online sessions, pre-recorded yoga classes or ‘in studio’ workshops, each student feels their practice is elevated to a whole new perspective. I feel it is important to be receptive to the student and imbue the class with a sense of communal support and acceptance for what our bodies and minds can manage at each stage of the journey.

Cosmic Alignment: Yoga Therapy for the Spine
2024-02-24 10:00 - 2024-02-25 16:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Tara Hall/Buddha House, Magill, SA, 5072, Australia
A two-day workshop with international teacher Leila Stuart
24 – 25 February 2023
in Adelaide
I am thrilled to be hosting Leila Stuart for her first workshop in Adelaide. I met Leila through our mutual association with Donna Farhi, with whom Leila co-authored the book Pathways to a Centred Body (2017). This workshop topic is the core of her new book Theoretical Anatomy: Therapeutic Applications of Embodied Movement and Awareness (forthcoming 2024). Leila’s transformational system of therapeutic yoga evolved from her desire to empower patients and students on the path to self-healing. Whether challenged with physical, mental or spiritual issues, Leila skillfully guides students toward a felt sense of their wholeness by exploring experiential anatomy and the interplay between awareness, gentle movement, breath, and mental patterns.
In this workshop we will explore the spine through experiential anatomy, somatic inquiry, yoga therapy principles, movement repatterning, asana, breath, sound, and mental perspective. We will use the koshic model to discover safe ways to improve spine health, alignment, stability, and mobility, and to understand how spinal awareness can lead to deep personal transformation.
This workshop is suitable for experienced yoga students, yoga teachers, personal trainers, physiotherapists, and massage therapists interested in learning slow, mindful, and accessible movements for healing the spine and neck.

“The actions, emotions, and behaviors of a person align with their perceived truths about themselves and their surroundings. Imagination, not sheer willpower, sets the mental ‘picture’ or goal that our automatic mechanism strives to achieve. Our actions or inactions are guided by imagination, shaping our reality more than mere ‘will’ alone.”— Maxwell Maltz

Join Sukha Mukha Yoga Director Idit Hefer Tamir for a restorative workshop and a journey inwards.
We will explore the quiet within, by practicing Restorative Yoga asana, Meditation & Pranayama.
As the year resumes its fast-paced rhythm, join me in a session dedicated to cherishing, exploring, and deepening our connection with rest, restorative yoga, and Yoga Nidra.
These practices encourage us to remain an integral part of our lives with mindfulness and compassion.
Rest is not just a pause; it’s an ongoing journey that prompts us to observe the diverse layers of stress we’ve accumulated. Step by step, we cultivate a sense of calm and safety, allowing these layers to dissolve and release.
This session is inclusive and welcoming to everyone, providing a space for relaxation and rejuvenation.
It is a beautiful evening inviting the body, mind and spirit to rediscover that all we need already exists within us.

” If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.
If you can dream it, you canbecome it”
William Arthur Ward
