Online Yoga Journey
2023-01-01 08:00 - 2023-12-31 17:00
The way I have offered support and guidance for others through yoga is by an invitation to join me on a journey. For over 20 years the majority of participants in my in person classes have enrolled for a 10 session term. This has given us the opportunity to experience the richness of exploring an overarching theme. Feedback over the years has affirmed that this is valuable and helpful so I am inviting you to our ongoing journey in this mode of online recordings. Each 3 month period offers within it one or two overarching themes that provide a focus for our practice together (to see what has been offered since autumn 2020 please scroll down). You can join the current journey (seed) and add as much additional content as you would like. Some of the previous yoga journey themes are also offered as courses so feel free to check those out also.

Yin & Pin (Yin Yoga and Acupuncture for Cancer Patients and Survivors)
2023-05-19 09:30 - 2023-06-09 10:45
Weekly 75min session (4 week Program). This unique 4 week program consists of weekly 75 minute Yin Yoga and Acupuncture (Yin and Pin) facilitated by registered yoga teacher and breast cancer survivor, Claire Evans and experienced acupuncturist Sarah Hennessey. During the final relaxation of the session Sarah will insert acupuncture pins into therapeutic locations (wrists, ankles, hands, face and neck) on participants which will remain in place for approximately 15-20 minutes. Melbourne Integrative Oncology Group provides evidence-based complimentary medicine and therapies for patients with cancer and is hosting these sessions at their Bentleigh East practice. Please contact Claire for further information. Cancer can cause a range of physical symptoms and treatment side effects, dependent on the type of disease and treatment undertaken. Psychologically, a cancer diagnosis can trigger anxiety and fear relating to uncertainty about the future. Emotional distress in cancer patients is associated with sleep disturbances and altered stress hormone function. Yoga practice, however, helps to encourage the body to relax and to calm the mind. The key difference between yoga and other forms of exercise is the role the breath plays in practice. Mindful attention to the breath and meditation can help support a shift in perspective and bring about positive changes in thoughts and behaviours. Acupuncture has been shown to have many benefits for people with cancer including helping to control cancer-related pain, relieve symptoms induced by chemotherapy treatment, reduce cancer-related fatigue and improve overall sense of well being.

Rediscover why connecting with your heart is essential for your wellbeing and transformation. We each have the potential to live with wisdom, love and joy, beyond the limitations of a busy mind. This non-residential retreat weekend facilitated by Natalie Snooke is a beautiful opportunity to dedicate time-out to nourish and cultivate the pure power of your heart. Learn skills and practices to strengthen the inner peace, joy and compassion within yourself and to release the obstacles that get in the way with greater ease. Uplift your spirits in like-minded company. And positively transform the circumstances and relationships in your everyday life. Is this retreat for you? So much of our stress and dissatisfaction in modern life arises because we live in increasingly disconnected, fearful and reactive ways. If you feel any of this, you are not alone. By becoming skilfully present with the heart, you make a profound shift. Responsiveness replaces reactivity. Your actions at home and at work have greater impact. You tend to attract love and opportunities. Life becomes more of a flow than a struggle – and you awaken to your true Self. This retreat is open to men and women (aged 18+) and is beginner-friendly! Complete beginners to meditation as well as those with prior meditation/yoga experience or other spiritual practice, are welcome. The only prerequisite is a willingness to learn and to be present. If this resonates, then we’d love to have you along. What to Expect We will explore guided and silent meditation and mindfulness practices that stabilise the mind and heart, supported by reflective (and fun!) group activities that allow for practical learning and integration into daily life. There will be a balance of formal guided practice, self-enquiry and quiet time in nature. The retreat also includes a delicious, nutritious supper, buffet lunches, chai and afternoon snacks, all lovingly prepared by Grace (Natalie’s Mum!) Dietary restrictions are catered for. Benefits, Learning & Gifts You will be gently encouraged and supported to honour yourself, and to participate as fully as you can: Explore the Brahma Viharas, the ‘Four Faces of the Heart,’ and their immediate benefits – loving kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity;

Clarify and embody the difference between reaction and response, closing and opening, fear and love;

Practice authentic guided meditations and mindful movement, both with instructions and in silence;

Learn from the presence and guidance of an experienced teacher with a passion for meditation;

Inner Stillness Meditation and Yoga Retreat
2023-06-16 16:00 - 2023-06-18 15:00
Rediscover yourSelfInner stillness is to connect with the heart of who you are. It antidotes the turmoil of the emotional and mental challenges of life and the stresses of things outside of our control. To cultivate health, healing and happiness, nothing is as important as connecting to inner stillness. The Inner Stillness retreat places the highest value on drawing back from the normal hurley burley to sit in and move from the heart of stillness in a sacred nurturing of wellbeing. The retreat offers participants a time of precious withdrawal and recharge. Inner Stillness retreat is offered in the middle of the Australian winter on a date close to the winter solstice, a time that is conducive to cocooning in meditative practice. The program includes gentle practices to calm the mind, still emotions and connect into the heart of stillness. The retreat location is in the Adelaide Hills in a facility designed for meditative contemplation. You will have your own private room, unless you choose to share one of the Queen or Twin options (limited availablity). All rooms have heating, so don’t worry about the cold.
