As someone who loves and supports several people in my life who have amazing Autistic brains, I’m in a position to acknowledge and foster their creativity, passion, and often quirky humour.
Yet, I also witness their struggles in neurotypical society and environments that force them to mask in an effort to cope, and to minimise themselves so they might fit in.
PLEASE JOIN ME FOR AN AUTISM-FRIENDLY GENTLE YOGA CLASS!
We will practice in a low-stimulation environment with
~ repetitive movements/poses
~ lowered gaze, and
~ easy-paced counted breathwork
All are welcome, especially if you are someone who lives with Autism and have been curious, but hesitant, to try a yoga class.
And, if you’re neurotypical, this experience may help you better understand the social and environmental challenges many Autistic people are faced with, and do their best to cope with, on a daily basis.
All mats and props are provided.
Simply bring yourself (and a support person if you wish) in comfortable clothing and a willingness to try.

Meditation for Building Immense Silent Inner Strength
2025-04-04 09:30 - 12:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | BIYOME Brookfield Retreat, Pacey, Upper Brookfield, Queensland, 4069, Australia
Early and current hardships—whether physical and mental abuse, learning disorders, deep mental suffering, physical pain, the loss of loved ones, eating disorders, or obesity—can serve as profound opportunities for deep self-reflection. When approached with courage and introspection, these struggles can become opportunities to transcend limiting beliefs, transforming them into remarkable superhuman capabilities of heart and mind. It is often taught across various traditions, that those who have endured the most who find themselves on the path to self-transcendence. This retreat will guide you on a journey of inner transformation, inspired by ancient wisdom and modern insights, drawing from your own experiences to remind you that love is your natural state.
A vast, quiet mind is essential for true liberation, and one of the core principles of this retreat is harnessing the power of silence, as taught by mystics like Teresa of Avila and Ramana Maharshi. Teresa spoke of the “prayer of quiet,” a profound state of inner stillness that calms the mind and connects you to your true essence. Similarly, Ramana Maharshi emphasised, “Silence is the true teaching. It is the perfect instruction.” By embracing this inner silence, you will learn to navigate and direct your inner dialogue, cultivating greater discipline and deep inner strength.
This retreat focuses on inner stillness as the path to clarity and peace, allowing you to rise above external demands and internal conflicts. Through the practices of non-attachment and introspection, you can transcend the limitations of the mind, revealing the unchanging essence within. As Ramana Maharshi said, “Silence is ever speaking; it is the perennial flow of language,” and Meister Eckhart echoes its deep value, “Absolute stillness for as long as possible is best of all for you.” This retreat will guide you in exploring this silence, fostering profound inner discipline and transformation. Join senior teacher Celia Roberts BSc as she gently guides you inward, helping you connect with your own truth and the boundless peace that lies within.

VEDIC CHANTING CLASSES
2025-04-05 08:30 - 09:30, 2025-04-12 08:30 - 09:30, 2025-04-19 08:30 - 09:30, 2025-04-26 08:30 - 09:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | DenDuprat Yoga Studio, 1/96 mimosa road, melbourne, VIC, 3163, Australia
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

This free masterclass is for teachers ready to alchemise their teaching to move beyond the surface and begin working with all layers of being.
You’ll be introduced to the Pañcamaya model, a powerful framework from the yogic tradition that maps the five interwoven aspects of our multidimensional system.
Together, we’ll explore:
1. How to teach in a way that speaks to more than the physical body
2. Why the body,breath and mind connection is central to transformation
3. The subtle energetic layers often overlooked in modern yoga
4. How deepening your understanding the pañcamaya can refine your presence, language, and impact
5. A guided experience to begin integrating this view into your teaching

This is not about more information. It’s about transmission, depth, and realignment with what drew you to teach in the first place.
If you’re ready to move from teacher to guide, from surface to soul this is your next step.

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?’

The ancient art of vedic breath-work unlocked. Learning the benefits of controlled and conscious breathing techniques and when and how to use them safely. We lean into utilising our own built in healing modality (breath) to help us energise or down regulate. Recognising and empowering our body’s natural intelligence is a game/ life changer. Aligning with the full moon for extra pranic life- energy and balance…
Experience and learn the transformative qualities of breath-work when applied consciously and correctly. Cultivate energy when you feel sluggish, gain clarity when your mind feels cluttered, internally cleanse your body using controlled breathing. Balance and regulate your nervous, endocrine (hormone), respiratory and digestive systems to homeostasis.
These carefully curated workshops are designed to empower you with specific breath-work techniques that you can add to your self care tool box. You can expect a little bit of inspiring self development and eye opening and potentially game changing light yet impactful education in this session.
Including a gentle and purposeful themed asana practice, moving meditation where movement is like medicine for the soul, vagus nerve toning calling from the wisdom of mantra and a deep reset yoga nidra that includes a purifying chakra activation.
We will also have an opening and closing circle and there will be handouts/ prompted fun journaling and sankalpa (solid goal) setting and embodying. I’d be honoured to share this safe supportive special space with you soon.
My highest purpose is to help you serve yours!
Workshops are kept intimate for optimal experiencing and are limited to seven people so get in quick… Please email me your name and a little bit about yourself (age, town, situation, occupation/study etc) – also, please feel free to share any particular areas of interest or any needs/ conditions that you may have.

Decoding Wisdom Body Retreats
2025-04-25 09:00 - 2025-04-27 17:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | BrisWest Centre Paddington Brisbane, 132 Latrobe Street, Paddington, Queensland, 4064, Australia
Dr Pee Tek Chan is calling you to join him in an enchanted learning in Awakening through the highest potential of Yoga – meditation, absorption, samadhi. In the retreat you will learn Part 1 of the movement meditation called The Form Reality Practice (The Form), a profound vehicle in opening, transcending and realising higher states of Consciousness. Dr Chan teaches through spontaneous transmission arising from his Awakening in Self-Realisation and Sahaja Samadhi. The essence of the retreat includes open honest dialogue and earnest deep self-enquiry. Learning to give voice to everything that is moving within our innermost Spirit is the practice of giving Light to Consciousness of what we Truly Are.
During this experiential retreat, you will also learn to bow and drop deep into your amazing Light Body through the movement of The Form. This profound practice is a dynamic conscious movement of pure Love of the subtle body, Anandamaya Kosha and beyond. You will learn through moving from the interface of the Formless and Form, Consciousness and Light, Fullness and Emptiness, the pure dance of the union of Shiva-Shakti, opening the door to Pratyabhijna, the path of no-path. The dance Integrates the divine Masculine/ Feminine moving as Oneness, opening the central channel, awakening the Kundalini which arises like a Cobra.
The Form is an intelligent evolving movement that flows from where you have arrived in the moment, taking you into the next purification into Beingness. In this retreat you will learn Part 1 of The Form. Part 1 is The Opener, The Way Shower, breaking new ground for Heart-Mind communion. You will learn profound Bowing into your authentic Self. Experience Awakening the radiant wisdom body in outshining shadows of patterns, trauma and confusion.
The retreat offers a safe space for this vulnerable work in opening our hearts in honesty, learning to bow into the innate capacity to Transfigure.

The Insight of Oneness
2025-04-25 09:30 - 12:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | BIYOME Brookfield Retreat, Pacey, Upper Brookfield, Queensland, 4069, Australia
Oneness – Oneness is experienced through many spiritual and religious practices and is part of the awakened brain experience. The experience of oneness occurs when we become one with the rhythm of life. Here, the parietal lobes tend to show a reduction in blood flow as we experience oneness or unity. The parietal lobes are responsible for our sense of self in relation to the world. The parietal lobes have a significant reduction in blood flow as we experience oneness and loss of separate self. The parietal lobes are affected during prayer or spiritual practice, which gives rise to a loss of self, time and space, opening the mind into states of samadhi. We become one with all. To have a deeper spiritual understanding is to realise that we are all one. Not only is this philosophically beneficial, but the evidence here shows how it can be mentally and physically beneficial. Spirituality is not just an idea but a deeper alignment with our truest nature.
We will explore one-ness in its truest form with meditation practice and explorer the following self-enquiry questions to awaken human consciousness:

Who is thinking, seeing, observing?
Do we create our reality?
Do our pain and our past create our present moment?
If we do not create our ultimate reality, who does?

Let us explore a level of enlightened consciousness….oneness with all.

Series 1: Muladhara, Svadhisthana, and Manipura Chakra Meditations
Starts 27 April to 6 June (6 weeks)

The Muladhara Chakra is the seat of our destiny, the door to our unconscious, the basis and the starting point for our spiritual development. It is the foundation from which we climb the ladder of the Chakras; the root from which we receive the nourishment for our spiritual development.
The Svadhisthana marks the second stage of human evolution, corresponding to the subconscious level, where we can face our weaknesses and mistakes, control, transform, and ultimately transcend baser instincts.
In Manipura Chakra consciousness reaches the third level, and its radiance develops within us the pearls of clarity, wisdom, self-confidence and wellbeing.

What comes after Series 1 …
Series 2: Anahata and Vishuddhi Chakra Meditations | starting 8 June
Series 3: Agya, Bindu, and Sahasrara Chakra Meditations | starting 20 July
Series 4: The Advanced Meditations from Yoga in Daily Life System | starting 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.
