Self Paced event.

Find a deeper connection to stillness and life through the yoga of sound.

Chanting is known to:

Increase breath control

Influence heart rate

Lower blood pressure

Ease muscle tension

Improve digestion

Reduce pain and assist healing

Activate different part of the brain

Stimulate learning and memory

Help us focus on positive words and phrases, involving gratitude and peace

Unite people and enhance a sense of connection with others

Help prepare for pranayama, meditation or prayer

May reduce snoring by toning the muscles of the throat

Through 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.

VEDIC CHANTING CLASSES

Improve your memory and focus. – Reduce mental agitation – Increase your breath capacity. – Improve listening and communication skills – Find and refine your own voice – Increase your self confidence. – Strengthen you spiritual connection – Gain an overall sense of well-being!!
Vedic Chanting is yoga, it is concentration, meditation, it is prāṇāyāma, it is jñāna and it is bhakti. It is a commitment to learning something very deep.
I am asked what the Vedas have to do with Yoga. Well, the Vedas contain it, the Vedas are themselves Yoga. That is what this is all about.
That said, you don’t need anything to practice and learn. If you want to know something in you that will surprise you a lot, this will surely interest you. It is not easy, but it is enriching. It is not quick, but it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
Chanting controls and transforms the Prāṇā, it is a feeling of merging with the Universal vibration, and it is rediscovering oneself anew in a practice very little known in the West.
In these classes you will learn how to pronounce Sanskrit, you will learn the correct way to recite some Vedic mantras, such as the popular Gāyatrī, as it was taught in ancient times, unchanged, orally and following the rules of a South Indian lineage.
You don’t need to know how to sing, or how to tune, in Vedic Chanting we only use 3 notes not 7 as in music , this makes it accessible to everyone!
Chanting classes are conducted seated, either on the floor or on a chair. It is important to feel comfortable so that you are able to focus only on the sound. All chants will be taught through a “call and response” methodology, using the aid of chant texts. The basic rules of Chanting, along with general meanings of chants will be explained.
These classes are for you if you want to learn more about mantra practice. If you are a yoga teacher or student and you want to introduce Chanting in your classes or you want to work with mantras in your personal practice

Practicing 'Chair' yoga
2025-05-27 17:00 - 2025-07-29 18:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | 100% online, Davidson, NSW, 2085, Australia
Practicing Chair yoga is a great gift for a number of reasons.

It might be that you need support for the poses; you might have a knee or hip that’s not coping well with weight bearing; or you might not have the time or space to roll out your mat.

Using a chair, poses can be gentle or strong, and I’ll teach both.

I will be giving detailed alignment instructions for the actions, and introducing new actions each week.

There will be video recordings of the live sessions so if you can’t make a live session all is not lost.

My intention, my hope is that over the ten sessions you will learn enough to be able to create your own practice.

There’s such ease in pulling out a chair and doing some stretches. Such support for building strength. Such a great opportunity to be drawn in to the quiet inside, as the outer body moves.

Meditation for Finding and Achieving Your Unique Purpose
2025-06-06 09:30 - 12:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | BIYOME Brookfield Retreat, Pacey, Upper Brookfield, Queensland, 4069, Australia
“All that you do to maintain your life, your everyday work and play, all your attempts to earn a living, should be done with sincerity, love and devotion, with a firm conviction that true living means virtually perfecting one’s spiritual existence in tune with the universe.”

Indian saint and mystic Sri Anandamayi Ma
This retreat invites you to discover or deepen your unique life purpose by uniting ancient spiritual wisdom with modern psychological insights. Our journey will be initially guided by the contemplations of best selling author Robert Greene, who emphasises self-awareness, learning from all experiences, and understanding the dynamics of relationships, career, and society. His insights on power, communication, and the balance between vulnerability and strength provide valuable guidance for finding your path and building meaningful connections with others.
A core focus of this retreat is embracing a deeper, more present sense of purpose, as taught by Eckhart Tolle. Tolle emphasises that true purpose is not about striving for future goals, but about fully engaging with the present moment. Our inner purpose is to awaken, and life brings us exactly the experiences we need to evolve our consciousness, providing opportunities for growth and self-discovery. This journey of awakening is a shared, universal experience across humanity.
By shifting from a “thought-based” mindset to a state of presence, you can let go of mental patterns that cause dissatisfaction, allowing a more harmonious and fulfilling life to emerge. We will also draw on Michael Singer’s teachings, which show how releasing resistance and accepting reality, rather than fighting against it, can lead to lasting happiness, love, and spiritual growth.
The retreat ultimately draws on Vedic philosophy, which teaches that the ultimate goal of life is spiritual liberation and realising our oneness with the universe. Late Indian Sage, Swami Sivananda, emphasises that the purpose of human birth is to achieve Divine Consciousness, assuring us that this is attainable within this lifetime. Swami Sivananda encourages us to see the divine in all creation, purifying and stilling the mind, and attaining freedom through self-realisation. Participants will be inspired to connect with their inner divinity and understand their spiritual purpose on a deeper level.
Through meditation and self-inquiry this retreat offers an opportunity to deepen your self-awareness, improve your relationships, your working situation or simply find greater fulfilment in everyday life. It is an opportunity to align with your true purpose and live in harmony with the greater intelligence of the universe, remembering that You are the Universe and the Universe is within You.

Deep Healing Retreat: Embodied practices for therapists and those who hold space
2025-06-06 16:30 - 2025-06-09 13:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | QLD
Located in Hepburn Springs, Victoria, we have the entire Continental House to roam, find our own little nook and settle in, sit in the garden or go for walks through nature.
Enjoy the sumptuousness of having your own space, meals served to you and yoga designed for your needs. Then dive into experiential understanding of Yoga Psychology ~ how the sensing, feeling body informs the mind about safety and social engagement, armouring and withdrawal. Expect a deep dive into the mind’s nature and come out the other end brimful with new ways of thinking and being in the world.
Katie de Araujo has a way of unravelling the stress, awakening the sensing body, opening hearts while expanding one’s knowledge and perspective.
Katie de Araujo is a body-centered yoga therapist with expertise in embodiment: felt-sense movements that honour the natural movement of the body and the intuitive breath.
She teaches high level concepts of psychology and philosophy in practical, common sense language to equip learners with a sense of mastery and achievement.
In this long weekend retreat (Friday evening to Monday afternoon):
~ you’ll release the subtle armouring and vigilance we often think of as normal or okay. Why? To feel open, new and clearer so that new learning can occur.
~ Feel the effects of your particular nervous system and practice regulation and co-regulation with others
~ expand and then refine your practical knowledge of the mind-body connection from neuroscience, breath science and somatic experiencing.
~ learn essential practices and practice them to a level more masterful than otherwise would be possible (repeat, iterate, build)
~ have a clear framework for sharing your skills with students, clients or significant others in your life
~ be apart of a unified, supportive group (my favourite and most valued element of any retreat 💗) and preserve a special experience to remember forever.

Quiet Mind Open Heart Meditation Series
Chakra Meditation Course
This ONLINE COURSE is a unique opportunity to continue to develop your experience, dive into your inner world, and unlock your hidden potential in a gradual and supported way.
In each of us, there is a wonderful and miraculous dormant potential and as we begin to activate this inner energy source, we can utilise these dormant powers to achieve what we so dearly desire; a purposeful existence living in peace, harmony, and happiness.
Series 2 – Anahata & Vishuddhi Chakra Meditations
You can join series 2 even if you haven’t done series 1.
Starts 8 June

With activation of the Anahata Chakra (heart centre), the perfect awakening of self-realisation takes place. Our heart opens to infinite, divine love thus our love becomes infinite.

Vishuddhi Chakra (throat centre) is the center of physical and spiritual purification, where harmful residues are removed from the body on a physical level, and in the mental sphere the thoughts, emotions, consciousness and subconscious are purified and harmonised.

Series 3 – Agya, Bindu & Sahasrara Chakra Meditations starts 20 July
Series 4 – The Advanced Meditations from Yoga in Daily Life starts 31 August
How it works:
Each series runs for 6 weeks with live guided evening meditations Sunday through to Friday 9 – 9:30pm. The idea is that you will have completed your days duties and can put them aside to join the session. After you can continue with your own personal meditation, journalling, reflection or have an early nights sleep. It’s ok if you cannot make it every night, but at least 3 per week to make it worthwhile.
