Meditation Club has made a big shift for me. Meditation had always been a struggle. Yet now I am regularly committed to my early morning wakeup call. I know I am making progress. – Annette Z.

It is a commitment. While this introductory program is free, Meditation Club is by subscription, with a three-month minimum. That’s to get you over the hump. Once you find your groove, your meditations get easier, deeper and more fulfilling. Life gets easier, deeper and more fulfilling as well.

My two years of daily early morning meditation with Gurudevi have shifted me 180 degrees inward. More and more, I live life from the depths of who I really am. – Margie W.

Master Your Sleep – Conscious Meditative Sleep
2024-05-31 09:30 - 12:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Biomedical Institute of Yoga and Meditation, 66 Pacey Road, Upper Brookfield, QLD, 4069, Australia
On May 31st, join Celia Roberts and Samantha Lindsay-German for “Master Your Sleep – Conscious Meditative Sleep.” This retreat is designed to guide you in transforming your sleeping hours into a valuable resource for deep meditation.
Many of us experience profound insights during the night that should not be overlooked. According to Tibetan yogis, we are truly awake to reality during the night, and asleep to reality in the day. Numerous practices rooted in Eastern traditions, including yoga, view the 8 hours of the night as a precious opportunity to awaken, gain insights, and explore another dimension of reality.
Andrew Holecek explains, “Unrecognized thought is the daytime equivalent of falling asleep. Each discursive thought is a mini-daydream. Drifting off into mindless thinking is how we end up sleepwalking through life—and therefore death.” ― Andrew Holecek
How can we align ourselves with this truth and genuinely practise meditation throughout our sleep? Let’s integrate the realms of science and spirituality as we delve into:

Improve Your Sleep Quality
Mastering Śavāsana, the corpse pose
Exploring the Mysteries of Deep Dreamless Sleep
Understanding the Yoga Sutras on Dreaming and Deep Sleep
Engaging in Yoga Nidrā: Psychic sleep (day time practice)
Embracing Dream Yoga: Beyond Lucid Dreaming (night time practice)

Embark on a journey to explore Lucid Dreaming to Dream Yoga with Celia and Sam and unlock the potential to awaken within the dream. Let us make our sleep both conscious and meditative.

Sound Immersion
2024-06-01 14:30 - 16:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | RACV Torquay Resort, 1 Great Ocean Rd, Torquay, Victoria, 3228, Australia
How would you like to spend a blissful 90 minutes immersed in sound?

Your experience begins with a guided meditation to relax the body and settle the mind, followed by the soothing sounds of Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes and drums. As the sounds wash over you, feel yourself being transported to a place of deep stillness and rest.

This meditative sound experience is a respite from the stress of day to day life, creating space and deeply nourishing mind, body and spirit.
Your relaxation begins from the moment you rest comfortably supported on your mat with your choice of blankets, bolsters and cushions.
As you emerge from your experience you may notice an inner sense of peace and tranquillity, awareness of being energised yet calm and a renewed sense of your own aliveness and wellbeing.

And all of this occurs in the restful yoga space that is the Santosha Studio at the RACV Torquay Resort.

If you’re from out of town, why not make a day of it? You can spend time in the Resort or get out and experience all that nature has to offer in the Torquay area.

All bookings can be made by calling One Lifestyle Reception at the RACV Torquay Resort on (03) 5261 1661. Payment is to be made at the time of booking.

Official Yoga Australia Event: How to Teach Yoga to Beginners
2024-06-08 12:00 - 15:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Mindful AF, 3/ 333 Belgrave Gembrook Road, Emerald, Victoria, 3782, Australia
Melbourne Yoga Teachers are invited to learn “How to Teach Beginners Yoga” at this In Person workshop, presented by Yoga Australia. About the EventTeaching beginners Yoga is both a skill and an art. Any Yoga Teacher will come across beginner students in their vocation. Often, as a new teacher we start our career teaching beginners. Should you put them at the back of the class and tell them to follow? Or should we (as teachers) develop our knowledge to teach them correctly and safely, so they actually learn how to practice yoga? Teaching beginners is challenging because they have not acquired any knowledge OR their perception of yoga is limited to what they have been seen; via social media for example. As teachers, we need to remember what is actually like to be a newbie, each student attending a class for the first time will have their own expectations, assumptions or past experiences to take into consideration. Join Jacqueline Brumley & Shimon Tchobutaru (Registered Senior & Level 2 Yoga Australia teachers) on this unique workshop where you will be guided on how and what to teach beginners. The 3-hour workshop is both practical and theory based. Agenda:Welcome & Introductions– with talk on the topic of “how the teach beginners”.

Handout on the Yoga asanas and basic practices beginners should learn to build a sound foundation in learning Yoga.

Sequencing the practices so beginners learn systematically.

How to teach beginners about body awareness.

Teaching 2 mock classes: 1. where everyone is a beginner and 2. Where there are beginners in an on-going class.

How to teach with clear, concise information and not overload beginners with too much information. Teach with “bite size information”.

Teaching beginners the full Yogic breath.

Basic relaxation techniques.

Q & A.What to Bring:Mindful AF Yoga Studio in Emerald will have blocks, yoga mats and straps to use during this event. You are welcome to bring you own if you prefer. Bring your own water bottle, wear comfortable loose clothing. There are cafes within walking distance as well as street parking available on the main road. Additional parking can be found at the Hills Hub (5 min walk) or Ritchies IGA parking (5 min walk). Who should attend this event:Yoga Teachers, Yoga Therapists & Teachers in Training. We welcome both Yoga Australia members & non-members to attend. It’s an opportunity to connect with other professionals in the region and learn from not only the presenters, but one another. What other’s have said:“From training with Jacqui & Shimon I have finally learnt the proper skill set to teach beginners Yoga in a correct and thorough way. My students are now learning the fundamentals of Yoga in a systematic way and their progress is noticeable. Thank you for imparting this knowledge” – Susan. March 2018 “I participated in a teacher training programme with Jacqui & Shimon on how to teach beginners Yoga. This training was amazing and gave me the correct method to teach new students correctly and thoroughly. I learnt which asanas they should learn, how to teach them and impart the love of Yoga to them”. – Jane. March 2018 About the Presenters: Jacqui & ShimonShimon Tchobutaru & Jacqui Brumley are a husband team with over 70 years of collective experience. They ran a busy Yoga school in Melbourne for 20+ years before moving to King Island (Tasmania) in 2019.

They also run Yoga retreats in Victoria, King Island and India offering an immersion into Yogic practices.Shimon and Jacqui are offering the Melbourne community a class to experience their teachings.

While the rest of Australia permed their hair, listened to Wham! and waited for hoverboards, Greg Wilkinson started an accounting software company. One man, one maxed-out credit card and one loan against a busted-up Holden Commodore. Those were the humble beginnings of Reckon. Today, they’re one of Australia’s leading business technology providers, listed on the ASX and employing 300 talented folk all over the world. Over the last 30 years, we’ve seen and lodged it all. Floppy disks. The first computer spreadsheet. Fax machines and the rise of online accounting. We were there for GST and Single Touch Payroll. We tallied receipts on dial-up and explored the new world of Open Banking. It’s been a wild ride. But through it all, Reckon has always helped businesses manage change – the expected and the unexpected. That’s our mission. Whatever happens next, whatever the future holds, we’ve got your business’s back. Register Now to join for FREE!This event is FREE for non-members also.

Creating Clarity - The Role of Gunas in Yoga & Ayurveda
2024-06-15 00:00 - 2024-06-16 23:59, 2024-06-16 00:00 - 2024-06-17 23:59 (Australia/Melbourne) | Agama Yoga Centre, 216 Richardson Street, Middle Park, VIC, 3206, Australia
How do the Gunas inform the Mind?
The Gunas are qualities that pervade all of life. Ayurveda teaches that sattva (balance, clarity) is the dominant guna for health. In Yoga we prize sattva as the goal of practice for a refined Mind.
Yet transformation and change (parinama) are the basis of our human experience which means sattva is ever shifting, rather than a permanent state.
How does Yoga practice reorient us to Sattva?
What do we we come to understand when the Mind experiences this state of refinement?
Perspectives from both Chapter 3 of the Yoga Sutras and Samkhya philosophy will be discussed.
Practices will be given to highlight these teachings.
This weekend of study is aimed at experienced yoga practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding and dive into yogic philosophy.For full timetable refer to link below.Saturday 15th June – conducted by Barbara BrianSunday 16th June – conducted by Jill HarrisLocation: Agama Yoga Centre, 216 Richardson Street, Middle Park9.00am – 4.30pm both days. 2 days $250, 1 day $140, half day $80.

Awakening Body: Pulsating From The Centre
2024-06-16 13:30 - 15:30 (Australia/Adelaide) | Tara Hall/Buddha House, Magill, SA, 5072, Australia
This two hour movement workshop is an experience of Spanda in the body.
Dr. Mark Dyczkowski’s described Spanda in his book The Doctrine of Vibration, in which he outlined one of the key ideas of Kashmir Shaivism, or non-dual Shaiva Tantra. According to the Spanda Doctrine, consciousness is not just a witnessing awareness but is an active force and is living, pulsating energy, the source of all manifestation.
The wonder of experiencing the navel radiation movement pattern is to directly experience the somatic throb of the fundamental divine pulsation that is Spanda. The creative pulsation of Spanda produces a world of opposites, oscillating divinely between exquisitely poised alternatives. To connect with the navel radiation pattern is to connect with Spanda in action in our bodies. This workshop is an invitation to enter fully into this embodied experience, moment to moment.
After an initial chat, we will activate our energy with some movement and then have a seated meditation. The movement session begins in a lying down, fetal curl position, where we tune awareness to the experience of the navel, the original source of all our nourishment. Movement unwinds from this position, exploring how we can find ourselves to be pulsating from that centre in our movement. From slow and sometimes free explorations, sometimes in gentle structured movement, the body unfolds into a contemporary yoga practice full of the awareness of this central movement pattern, moving from the centre, expanding from and returning to the centre. This two-hour embodiment experience will unfold from stillness, reach a crescendo, and subside back into stillness, in a sublime mirroring of the trajectory of life and the entire universe.
The session concludes in śavāsana and the expereince of the Blessing Mandala.

The Science and Art of Awakening Human Consciousness - Session Compassion
2024-06-21 09:30 - 14:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | Biomedical Institute of Yoga and Meditation, 66 Pacey Road, Upper Brookfield, QLD, 4069, Australia
Compassion is a state of being that goes beyond sympathy and understanding. It is about being the witness consciousness and recognising that behind every human suffering, there is a being of light. By being aware of our suffering and questioning its necessity, we can gain insights into the impermanence of all things and the removal of egoic self-identification. Suffering serves its purpose until we realise it is unnecessary. Compassion on the spiritual plane allows us to recognise that attachment to thoughts and emotions about the past and future is the root of suffering. Compassion is a state of complete non-judgmental awareness with no agenda, and it can be transmitted through silence, which is the most profound form of raising consciousness.
Compassion is generously offered in the highest state of truth, which is silence, free of mind-based communication. It is a potent therapeutic relationship that raises consciousness. Compassion is a teaching that is silently conveyed through the example we set, rather than through words. By being compassionate to someone who is suffering, we are not getting down there with them but helping them through our example. Compassion is the most powerful tool for raising consciousness and connecting with others in a meditative right hemisphere to the right hemisphere way, as supported by research and neuroscience.

Awakening - Samadhi Retreats
2024-06-28 09:00 - 2024-06-30 17:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | BrisWest Centre, 132 Latrobe Street, Paddington, Queensland, 4064, Australia
Dr Pee Tek Chan is calling you to join him on an enchanted journey in Awakening through the highest potential of Yoga – meditation, absorption, samadhi. In the retreat he will introduce a 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, sourced from his Awakening in Self-Realisation and Samadhi.
During this experiential retreat, you will learn to drop deep into your amazing mystery body through the movement of The Form Reality Practice. This profound practice is a dynamic conscious movement of pure Love of the innermost subtle body, Anandamaya Kosha. It is the moving Interface of the Formless and Form, Consciousness and Light, the pure dance of Union of Shiva-Shakti, merging dancing as One Bliss and Ecstasy, the core of what we Truly Are. This is the essence in Awakening the Kundalini, opening the central channel all the way up and out, arising like a cobra filling up the sky and beyond. Your magic body is woven in the matrix of scintillating Light, moving as a drop in the Ocean of Consciousness. Your light body is quivering to reveal that you also are the Oceanic Altar of the Beloved.
The Form consists of 5 parts. Each part is a leap in Conscious Awareness, evolving towards Self-Realisation and beyond. You will learn Part 1 during the Brisbane June 2024 retreat, and Parts 1–5 in the September 2024 retreat. The Form is an intelligent evolving movement that begins from Part 1 and flows on from where you have arrived in the moment, taking you into the next purification of Beingness. In each retreat, we learn and practice from Part 1 onwards. The Form is not a technique. The following is an outline of each part:
Part 1 – Opener, the Way Shower, breaking new ground for Heart-Mind communion.
Part 2 – Initiating the energy centres (chakras), merging Consciousness and Light to flow as One Shiva-Shakti.
Part 3 – Stepping into your Authority in birthing a new seed of Reality from Pure Potential.
Part 4 – Activating the flowering of the 3 major centres of Awakening: the head, the chest and the belly.
Part 5 – Learning to be taken in embodying the Ascent of the most deep (Shakti power) and the descent of the most High (Shiva Consciousness).
Our natural state of Beingness is pure innocence, pure openness. We are all suffering from the dark unconscious parts of our unloved and unmet self, clogging the chakras and central channel. Opening and freeing the chakras requires deep inner shadow work. Learning to consciously move our light body at Love frequency clears the blocks in the energy centres. This is learning to unconditionally fall in love with ourselves. We have forgotten we are all entangled in spiritual amnesia.
The retreat offers a safe space for this vulnerable work in opening our hearts in honesty, learning to bow to the wonderment and enchantment of our Transfiguration.
CPD Certificate available on request for Yoga Alliance, Yoga Australia, ACA and AACHP members.
