Sankalpa Circle: Transitioning to the New Year
2023-12-27 08:00 - 17:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Online, Australia
Nikki and Chris invite you to participate in our Sankalpa Circle to take time out to reflect on 2023 and create intentions for 2024.
This is the third year that we’re offering an online Sankalpa Circle program. The program was developed to share tools and experiences to enrich and navigate transitioning into a new year. We both enjoy being part of a collaborative supportive community and we’d love you to join us!
Our intention for the ‘Sankalpa Circle: Transitioning to the New Year’, is to come together for heartfelt reflection to find a ‘word’ that encapsulates and provides guidance for the year ahead. Our program draws from a range of inspirations that have supported our transitions into a new year, in particular the works of Susannah Conway (Unravel Your Year, Find Your Word) and Gina Macauley (YogaHara Sankalpa workshops and retreats).
Chris’ word for 2023 is expand and Nikki’s word is luminous. We’re excited to discover our words for 2024!
You’re welcome to join for all or part of the program, our aim is to keep it open and flexible. Participants will receive a document that outlines a suggested process; however, everything is an invitation, and you’re welcome to incorporate processes and tools you find useful and skip the rest. You know best which parts of the program support you. Eg, you might join for journaling, be at rest during the mindful movement and skip discussions, or participate in the entirety of the program. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as you choose in the discussions.

Connecting to Centre Core Yoga Workshop

Do you suffer from bloating or other digestive issues?
Do you have lower back pain?
Are you dealing with menstrual pain or have weak pelvic floor muscles?
Interestingly, all of these seemingly unrelated issues can stem from a lack of core strength and correct belly pressure. Attaining an understanding of how the core works and how to cultivate good belly pressure is an integral aspect to reliving these issues.
In this Connecting to Centre Core Yoga Workshop, you will learn:

the most effective exercises to warm up and activate the core – the energy centre of your body.
therapeutic core yoga exercises to support the organs of the digestive system and how they help to improve digestive function.
key therapeutic core yoga exercises to improve posture and reduce back pain.
specific core yoga exercises to help with menstrual issues and strengthen the pelvic floor.
how to use core exercises as a bridge to achieving more advanced yoga asanas.
two breathing techniques to develop a deeper connection with your core.

Added bonus!
After the workshop, you’ll receive lifetime access to 3 BONUS Online Pre-recorded Core Yoga Classes to keep the benefits going long after the workshop has finished. These classes will vary between 10-30 minutes in length.
For more detailed information about this workshop, visit the Connecting to Centre webpage.

Restorative Yoga & Meditation Program Online
2024-02-05 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.

Prior to teaching Children’s Yoga in 2005, she was teaching kid’s fitness classes; studying to be an early years primary school teacher, and working on set on a children’s TV show at Network TEN. Working in children’s hospital wards for over 18 years, Stacey founded the “Calm Fairies” hospital program, where paediatric patients are guided through calming activities during their hospital stay. Using her experience in Children’s TV, Stacey produced a series of kids yoga DVDs which sold all over Australia and features on Gaia TV. In 2021, Peppa Pig invited Stacey to create a yoga class for the Peppa Pig You Tube channel. Since 2012, Stacey has been training Yoga Teachers to specialise in Children’s Yoga, through her Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher Training School, “Inspired Kids Yoga”. A high number of enquiries for the training came from professionals who work with children. This led to a series of workshops being created that included the best TOOLS of yoga, without having to do an entire Yoga Teacher Training. These workshops were turned into online courses during COVID lockdown and released under her “Calm Fairies” brand. In 2022 & 2023, Stacey has delivered over 80 workshops created specifically for kindy teachers in kindergartens around QLD. Stacey is passionate about sharing the practices that have helped her so much through her life and aims to make training as practical, authentic, down to earth and whole-hearted as possible. She has a gift for helping you find and shine your special qualities into the sessions that you facilitate with children.
