ABOUT YOUR TEACHER
As a Clinical Psychologist and Yoga Teacher of nearly 20 years, and the author of Mental Health Aware Yoga: A Guide for Yoga Teachers, Dr Lauren Tober has seen first-hand the way yoga helps with mental health. But she has also seen the way it can hinder it.
She developed this innovative Mental Health Aware Yoga training to support yoga teachers to make their classes safe, nourishing and transformative for all students, including those experiencing mental health challenges. And to help mental health professionals bridge the gap between what they learnt in their yoga teacher training courses and their clinical work.
Her work is soulful without being new-agey. It’s evidence based without being clinical. It’s authentic, heartfelt and life changing.
Join us in changing the landscape of yoga. It’s time!
WHAT OUR GRADUATES SAY ABOUT THE TRAINING

‘I just loved the Mental Health Aware Yoga training! It was incredibly heartwarming and such an honour and a privilege to be amongst such an amazing group of humans. Dr Lauren is an incredible facilitator and I left the training feeling inspired to bring even more mental health awareness into my teaching and leadership. All Yoga Teachers need to do this training, regardless of how long you’ve been teaching. Gift yourself and your students this training, and sign up, it will change the way you teach!
KATE PIPPOS | HEAD OF YOGA AT VIRGIN ACTIVE | SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

‘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?’
BODIL STENTEBJERG | YOGA TEACHER, TRAINER + STUDIO OWNER | COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

‘If you’re interested in supporting your community with yoga, I highly recommend the Mental Health Aware Yoga training with Dr Lauren Tober. It’s vital that we educate ourselves with this work so we impact our students’ well-being in a positive way.’

Cultivating Inner and Outer Peace - A Retreat for Activists and Changemakers
2024-11-01 00:00 - 2024-11-04 23:59 (Australia/Melbourne) | Springbrook Rainforest Retreat Centre, Springbrook, QLD, Australia
Join mindfulness teachers and activists, Lisa Brown, Lody Levy and Suzie Brown, for a 3-day mindfulness and nature retreat.
As activists and environmental change makers, we are passionately committed to protecting the earth, yet we must face up to the accelerating climate and ecological crises unfolding before us.
Many complex and difficult emotions like fear, anxiety, grief and anger will naturally arise and this can lead to burn out, an absence of joy and affect our health and relationships and ability to show up in the world.
This retreat will help you to learn new ways to prevent and manage burnout through mindfulness practices including silent reflection and meditation, embodied movement, immersing in nature and connecting with like-minded friends, all in a beautiful rainforest setting.
These supportive skills and practices will help you to:

Develop better emotional resilience
Have more energy and inspiration for our work
Reduce burnout
Feel more supported and connected

Robin Wall Kimmerer said “It is a radical act to reclaim your own attention and turn it to the natural world.” Reconnecting to nature is the portal to deep belonging, which we all crave and reminds us of who we are and why we do this work
Our venue will be the beautiful Springbrook Rainforest Retreat: https://tsretreat.org/

2024-11-10 14:00 - 16:45 (Australia/Adelaide) | Sol Yoga, Kaurna Yerta, 187 Almond Grove Rd, Willunga South, SA, 5172, Australia
Are you looking for something to do with your child that is fun and relaxing both at the same time?
Join Antje from Flow and Grow Family Yoga at Sol Yoga in Willunga South for an afternoon of joyful connection with your little one!

Antje’s family yoga sessions are neither adult yoga with kids, nor kids’ yoga with adults. Instead, classes are designed specifically to deepen the connection between you and your child.

We will be weaving together elements of play and storytelling, asana (yoga postures) and mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, a dash of acro yoga, and each participant’s own creative spirit.

Along the way, we’ll release stress and anxiety, connect with our (inner) child, and strengthen body and mind.
No previous yoga experience is required!
Two session times on offer:

Session 1 at 2pm for parents and children aged 3-5 years
Session 2 at 3.15pm for parents and children aged 6-12 years

TESTIMONIALS
“My 4.5 year old and I had a ball at Antje’s family yoga class. It was fun, creative, energising, and calming all at the same time. Most of all it was a wonderful opportunity for one-on-one connection, especially important now that my child has a younger sibling. Thank you for the beautiful class, we’re both looking forward to coming back soon!” (Lara, mother of two)

“My 8 year old daughter and I have absolutely loved each and every aspect of Antje’s parents and kids yoga sessions. Each class we’ve attended has had a different theme which has captured my daughter’s imagination and sense of fun but what I have loved most is the chance to share yoga with my child, connect without outside pressures and look into each other’s eyes as we play, move, dance and rest! Antje is a warm, grounded, calm and professional yogi with a true gift for teaching and holding space for families.” (Emmy, mother of two)

“I’ve done a few different family yoga classes and Antje’s recent class in Aldinga, SA, has been my favourite by far. She has such a lovely presence, and I love her emphasis on connection. I actually became a bit emotional in the final cuddle part of the session – it really emphasised for me how much we don’t make time to just BE with our kids enough, especially 1:1. My 5yo LOVED it, and we both look forward to more classes!“ (Nicole, mother of three)
“Amazing parent/child workshop today. My son is so excited to return. Thank you Antje.” (Torri, mother of one)
“We did the 5 week family yoga workshop and it was such a treat! We both really enjoyed spending time together and the classes were perfectly tailored for children. It was so much more fun and imaginative than I ever expected. Would highly recommend and would definitely do another one!” (Kellie Anne, mother of two)

Please note:
As the focus is on one-on-one connection, a one child/one grown-up policy applies. If you’re interested in a Family Yoga for All session, please consider joining my mailing list to stay in the loop for upcoming sessions the whole family can attend.
Price is per adult-child couple (=2 people).

About the books

Our new book is called Shout it Out! Yoga Therapy for Emotional Resilience.
The yoga story is beautifully illustrated by Andrew McIntosh. It’s designed to help children understand and release emotions and build positive emotions.
The yoga is highly effective meridian-based yoga and is written into the story to guide children to acknowledge and express their emotions through yoga, breathing, self-awareness, letting go, and a positive mindset.
[Spoiler alert!] In a transformational relaxation at the end, children get to choose which emotions they’ll ‘grow’ in their very own inner ‘garden’.
Shout It Out follows on from our popular and impactful first book, Butterflies Be Gone! Yoga Therapy for Fear & Anxiety.
Children and adults of all ages love our first book and many children have enjoyed and benefitted from our book readings at schools, libraries and childcare centres.
Rave review for Butterflies Be Gone (more below):
‘I absolutely LOVE your book and the way you incorporated yoga into your story and presentation. We wrote a reflection upon returning to the classroom. The children also were buzzing about your story. Many of the children will benefit from reading and revisiting your work!’ — teacher, John Colet School, Sydney

Sound Immersion
2024-11-16 14:30 - 16:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | RACV Torquay Resort, 1 Great Ocean Rd, Torquay, Victoria, 3228, Australia
How would you like to spend a blissful 90 minutes immersed in sound?
Your experience begins with a guided meditation to relax the body and settle the mind, followed by the soothing sounds of Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes and drums. As the sounds wash over you, feel yourself being transported to a place of deep stillness and rest.
This meditative sound experience is a respite from the stress of day to day life, creating space and deeply nourishing mind, body and spirit.
Your relaxation begins from the moment you rest comfortably supported on your mat with your choice of blankets, bolsters and cushions.
As you emerge from your experience you may notice an inner sense of peace and tranquillity, awareness of being energised yet calm and a renewed sense of your own aliveness and wellbeing.
And all of this occurs in the restful yoga space that is the Santosha Studio at the RACV Torquay Resort.
If you’re from out of town, why not make a day of it? You can spend time in the Resort or get out and experience all that nature has to offer in the Torquay area.
Make the most of the last opportunity for this year and and prepare yourself before the busyness of the festive season.
All bookings can be made by calling One Lifestyle Reception at the RACV Torquay Resort on (03) 5261 1661. Payment is to be made at the time of booking.

Along the way, we’ll release stress and anxiety, connect with our (inner) child, and strengthen body and mind.
No previous yoga experience is required!
Two session times on offer:

Session 1 at 2pm for parents and children aged 3-5 years
Session 2 at 3.15pm for parents and children aged 6-12 years

TESTIMONIALS
“My 4.5 year old and I had a ball at Antje’s family yoga class. It was fun, creative, energising, and calming all at the same time. Most of all it was a wonderful opportunity for one-on-one connection, especially important now that my child has a younger sibling. Thank you for the beautiful class, we’re both looking forward to coming back soon!” (Lara, mother of two)

“My 8 year old daughter and I have absolutely loved each and every aspect of Antje’s parents and kids yoga sessions. Each class we’ve attended has had a different theme which has captured my daughter’s imagination and sense of fun but what I have loved most is the chance to share yoga with my child, connect without outside pressures and look into each other’s eyes as we play, move, dance and rest! Antje is a warm, grounded, calm and professional yogi with a true gift for teaching and holding space for families.” (Emmy, mother of two)

“I’ve done a few different family yoga classes and Antje’s recent class in Aldinga, SA, has been my favourite by far. She has such a lovely presence, and I love her emphasis on connection. I actually became a bit emotional in the final cuddle part of the session – it really emphasised for me how much we don’t make time to just BE with our kids enough, especially 1:1. My 5yo LOVED it, and we both look forward to more classes!“ (Nicole, mother of three)
“Amazing parent/child workshop today. My son is so excited to return. Thank you Antje.” (Torri, mother of one)
“We did the 5 week family yoga workshop and it was such a treat! We both really enjoyed spending time together and the classes were perfectly tailored for children. It was so much more fun and imaginative than I ever expected. Would highly recommend and would definitely do another one!” (Kellie Anne, mother of two)

Please note:
As the focus is on one-on-one connection, a one child/one grown-up policy applies. If you’re interested in a Family Yoga for All session, please consider joining my mailing list to stay in the loop for upcoming sessions the whole family can attend.
Price is per adult-child couple (=2 people).

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.

Yo’ vipastho’j~naahetu.sca – Shiva Sutras 3.29
Only one with mastery over Kundalini is competent to enlighten others. Such a Guru empowers you to realize your spiritual essence.
Shaktipat initiation awakens your Kundalini, the Divine Energy within you, so that you may attain the highest goal of human life – knowing your own Self. When awakened by the Guru, Kundalini climbs your spine from tail to top. She is the mystical force granting the power and ease of all the Svaroopa® sciences.
You receive formal Shaktipat initiation from Gurudevi twice in this weekend meditation retreat. She is a Kundalini Master, authorized to transmit this powerful initiation. She explains the process and purpose as well as how you cooperate with the inner force that is burning within you, in-light-ening you day by day.
Absolutely wonderful spiritual experience. I was so honored to meet such a great Guru and Kundalini Master; this is truly a life changing experience. – Alena T.
Your spiritual progress is accelerated by receiving Shaktipat. This inner experience leads to enlightenment sooner or later, and Shaktipat makes it happen sooner. That’s the whole point!
The profound inward path of Svaroopa® Vidya Meditation begins with Shaktipat. Discover a whole new dimension to your own being and learn tools that help you bring that into your life.
When someone is ready to go deeper and learn more, this retreat with Gurudevi includes deep teachings. The transmission of Shaktipat awakens the understanding of these teachings. It created a deep sense of inner peace, opened my heart and left me feeling joyful! – Terry G
