SUMMARY:SOUTHERN INDIA YĀTRĀ
DESCRIPTION:From the Mountains to the Sea**January 9 to 24\, 2026 \nThere is a moment in every temple when the world softens. The stone floor feels warm with centuries of devotion. You step forward and feel the vibration of a thousand prayers beneath your feet. The ritual is simple. You shower\, you adorn yourself in a sari or salwar kameez\, you leave your shoes and your intellect at the gate\, and you open to a felt sense of connection that rises from the ground up. \nMany women join this journey after feeling a pull they cannot explain. A quiet tug in the heart. A knowing that the time is now. \n“I feel a pull\, unexplainable but so right.”“I’ve been curious about India for so long. I feel called.”“I want to bathe in all India has to teach me.” \nThis is how pilgrimage begins. Not from logic. From something deeper. \nThis Yātrā is a sacred and culturally rich journey through Tamil Nadu\, my home away from home. Since 2014 I have guided groups through South India with care\, clarity and deep respect for the culture and traditions we meet along the way. As a senior yoga teacher\, long term student of Dr NC and dedicated practitioner\, my role is to support you\, help you feel safe\, and open doors to experiences you could not access on your own. You are held by years of practice\, study and lived connection. \nTogether we travel from Chennai to the southern tip of India. We visit ancient temples\, meet my teacher and his family\, take part in fire puja and rituals\, cycle by the coast\, enjoy cooking classes\, sip Masala chai\, wander colourful streets\, and feel the devotion that pulses through this part of the world. \nIt is a journey that stays with you long after your feet return home. \n\n\n\n\nWhat is included\nA curated immersion so you can relax\, learn and absorb the experience fully. \n• 6 nights of accommodation across Chennai\, Tiruvannamalai\, Pondicherry\, Chidambaram\, Thanjavur\, Madurai and Kanyakumari• Private air conditioned bus and dedicated driver• Two days of study with Yoga Vaidya Sala\, Dr NC and family• Yoga philosophy sessions and teachings on sacred places• A personal asana practice from Dr NC to support your journey• Regular meditation\, chanting and group circles• Traditional South Indian cooking class• Pondicherry cycling tour• Guided temple rituals and ceremonies• Breakfast\, lunch and dinner each day• Support with clothing\, shopping and cultural preparation• Airport collection on the first day of the retreat \nOptional: A Yoga therapy consultation with Dr NC may be available at extra cost. \nYou will only need around $350 AUD for general spending unless you plan to shop for clothing or gifts. \n\n\n\n\nWhere we go\nChennai\nA soft landing at the Taj Connemara. Pool time\, gentle adjustment to India\, temple clothing shopping\, and two days of study with my teacher and his family. \n\nTiruvannamalai\nArunachala mountain. Sacred caves where Sri Ramana Maharshi practiced. Cafés. Prayer. Fire energy. Temple life that lights the heart. \n\nPondicherry\nFrench coastal charm. Cycling tour. Cooking class. Boutique shopping. A Ganesha temple for safe travels. \n\nChidambaram\nHome of Nataraja. The place where Sage Patañjali received the teachings of Yoga. Fire puja\, temple rituals\, mantra and three nights right at the temple gates. \n\nThanjavur\nThe UNESCO listed Brihadishvara Temple and the rich artistry of the Chola dynasty. \n\nMadurai\nThe Meenakshi Amman Temple\, local sweets\, vibrant streets and the pulse of Tamil culture. \n\nKanyakumari\nThe southern tip of India. Ocean sunrise\, sunset and moonrise. Vivekananda Rock. A gentle space for integration. \n\n\n\n\nNotes on the flow\nThis Yātrā is immersive and alive. While the journey follows a clear structure\, there is space for flexibility so we can honour the energy of each place and respond to the unexpected moments that India always gifts. \nYou are encouraged to rest as you need. India is powerful\, and we travel with care. \n\n\n\n\nIf your heart is whispering yes\nWe have two places available. \nIf you feel even the softest pull\, I would love to talk with you and explore whether this journey is yours. \nBegin your 2026 in IndiaJanuary 9 to 24 \nRachel

SUMMARY:BIYOME Evening Dark Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Join Celia Roberts BSc for a profound evening immersion into the ancient practice of dark retreat\, inspired by the teachings of Tibetan Master Namkhai Norbu and Dr. Andrew Holecek\, renowned scholar of Tibetan Buddhism\, lucid dreaming\, and meditation. Holecek describes dark retreat as “meditation on steroids”. Dark Retreat is a powerful method of inner exploration\, growth\, and awakening\, with the dark being considered such a valuable feminine teacher.\n\nDarkness has long been revered for its ability to restore balance\, quiet mental noise\, and awaken the luminous mind (prabhāsvarā). In the Tibetan tradition\, dark retreat (mun mtshams) is closely associated with advanced Dzogchen practices such as yangti\, where time in complete darkness is used to deepen awareness and accelerate contemplative insight. Contemporary research supports these traditional insights\, showing that extended time in darkness influences circadian rhythms\, alters melatonin and DMT levels\, and produces measurable effects on brain and body states\, facilitating deep rest\, perceptual shifts\, and transformative healing. It may help manage sensory processing challenges.\n\nAt BIYOME\, our Evening Dark Retreat Practice provides a safe and supportive environment to begin this path of night-time meditation. Through stillness\, gentle movement\, and guided contemplations\, participants will directly experience how the absence of light can open new depths of clarity\, non-dual awareness\, self-realisation and spiritual awakening.\n\nEvening Program – Saturday\, January 3rd\, 2026 | 5.30pm – 8.30pm\n\n 	5.30 – 6.00pm Evening Twilight Yoga Preparatory Practice\n 	6.00 – 6.30pm Techniques for Lucid Dreaming & Dream Yoga\n 	6.30 – 8.30pm Dark Retreat Meditation in complete darkness (restorative yoga postures provided; please bring a sleep mask Manta Pro Sleep mask recommendation here). One candle will gently light the room as required.\n\nLocation: BIYOME\nInvestment: $148\n\nPlease bring a sleep mask\, water\, a pillow and layered clothing for warm and cold temperatures

SUMMARY:VEDIC CHANTING CLASSES
DESCRIPTION: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!! \nVedic 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. \nI 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. \nThat 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. \nChanting 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. \nIn 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. \nYou 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! \nChanting 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. \nThese 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  \nhttps://dendupratyoga.com/vedic-chant/ \n

SUMMARY:Parent and Child Yoga at Yogita Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for something to do with your child that is fun and relaxing both at the same time?\nJoin Antje from Flow and Grow Family Yoga at Yogita Yoga studio in Highgate for an afternoon of joyful connection with your little one!\n \nAntje’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.\n \nWe 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. \nAlong the way\, we’ll release stress and anxiety\, connect with our (inner) child\, and strengthen body and mind. \nNo previous yoga experience is required! \nTwo session times on offer: \n\nSession 1 at 2pm for parents and children aged 3-5 years\nSession 2 at 3.15pm for parents and children aged 6-12 years\n\nTESTIMONIALS \n“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)\n \n“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)\n \n“I brought my daughter here for a parent/child yoga class and it was a really lovely experience. Antje was a wonderful instructor with thoughtful and intentional components for both the children and the adults. We loved it!” (Linly)\n \n“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) \n“I had the best time and the parent child yoga with Antje. Some special time with just my older daughter. Antje creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere and really knows how to involve children. We had fun\, we stretched\, played and relaxed. I would highly recommend her classes if you are looking for a class that incorporates both the parent and the child. We will definitely be back! Thank you!” (Corinna\, mother of two)\n \nPlease note: \nAs 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. \nPrice is per adult-child couple (=2 people).

SUMMARY:The Nectar of Prāṇāyāma Advanced  Practice and Teaching Immersion
DESCRIPTION:We will immerse  in-person to experience an uplifting combination of practice\, techniques\, and the principles of Prāṇāyāma through study and practice. Committed students and teachers from all backgrounds are welcome.  \n  \nYou will gain a deeper understanding of the hows and the whys of Prāṇāyāma so that you can confidently practice and perhaps lead specific breath classes and expand this into your current classes and private sessions. My hope is that you will also refine and expand your ability to design and teach a well-thought-out and effective Prāṇāyāma practice with a particular goal in mind. \n \nAs my teacher\, Dr. Candrasekaran\, says\, “ Every technique in Yoga is like clay. Whatever product comes out of a lump of clay is entirely in the hand of the potter. In the same way\, whatever effect comes out of a Yoga technique is entirely in the hands and teaching methodology of the teacher.”  \n  \nWe will unpack some of the ancient texts. In Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras\, he defines Prāṇāyāma (2;49)\, he gives a method (2.50) and the benefits/fruits of practice (2.51 & 2.52). In this course\, you will gain a deeper understanding of the classical Prāṇāyāmas as taught in the Krishnamaracya tradition. We will chant and reflect on Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras\, some quotes from the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā\, Bhairava Tantra\, and Bhagavad Gītā. These ancient texts invite us into the symbolism\, intention\, and results of a committed Prāṇāyāma practice.  \n“Practice Prāṇāyāma with attention\, then when the breathbecomes long and smooth\, the mind is ready for meditation” Krishnamacharya  \nTechniques we will cover: \n​ \n\n\n 	\nPūraka Prāṇāyāma  \n\n 	\nRecaka Prāṇāyāma  \n\n 	\nKumbhaka  \n\n 	\nUjjāyī \n\n 	\nAnuloma ujjāyī \n\n 	\nViloma ujjāyī \n\n 	\nCandra bedana \n\n 	\nSūrya bedana \n\n 	\nNadi śodhana \n\n 	\nSītali \n\n 	\nKapālabhāti \n\n\n  \nPrinciples of Prāṇāyāma covered  \n​ \n\n\n 	\nThree gates of awareness Prāṇāyāma -Desa (place/technique)- Kala (time/rhythm) – Samkhya (repetition/number) \n\n 	\nVinyāsa of Prāṇāyāma – the order we work in \n\n 	\nEnergetics / kleśa / Prāna / Agni / Mala \n\n 	\nBrmhana\, langhana\, Samāna  \n\n 	\nĀsana considerations in preparation for Prāṇāyāma  \n\n 	\n1;1 breath assessment & coaching \n\n 	\nTeaching techniques\, breaking things down\, modifications  \n\n 	\nApplication – what and when to teach  \n\n 	\nBreath ratios in sitting & in āsana (Visamavrtti / Samavrtti) \n\n 	\nMantra & Bhavana in prāṇāyāma \n\n 	\nBandha as an extension of Prāṇāyāma \n\n 	\nThe art and science of class design  \n\n\n​ \n​ \nDates\, timings\, and inclusions: \n​ \n\n\n 	\n22nd & 23rd November 10am – 4pm day in-peron immersion at Samadhi Yoga Shala\, 134 Grove Road\, Lesmurdie 6076 WA \n\n 	\nMaximum of 15 students  \n\n 	\nPrinted handouts provided   \n\n 	\nCertificates and CPD points are available for those with memberships to Yoga Australia or Yoga Alliance.  \n\n 	\nPlease bring a light nourishing lunch with you \n\n\n​ \nInvestment \n$320 Early bird if paid in full by 1st November \n$380 Full Price
