The Role of Yoga for Chronic Pain
2023-07-27 11:00 - 13:00 (Australia/Melbourne)
About the Event Yoga Australia have organised this event in line with National Pain Week 2023, helping to raise awareness of the benefits of yoga for pain relief. Chronic Lower back pain and other unresolved neuromuscular skeletal issues affect 600 million people worldwide! Conventional Physical Therapy and medical treatments include addictive drugs, surgeries and years of costly pain management which do not necessarily address the underlying causes of chronic pain. Given the physical and psychological aspects associated with Chronic neuromuscular skeletal pain, it follows that any successful treatment would be best if it addresses both the mind and body, which is what makes yoga such an effective option. However, Yoga has not yet received the same level of respect and recognition from the scientific community as other alternative medicines. That is beginning to change. Healthcare professionals and researchers, like myself, are finding consensus around why yoga is such a powerful tool. Not only in preventing and treating chronic neuromuscular skeletal pain but also in regulating the underlying stress response and negative emotional states at the root of the issue.“[Chronic Back pain ] is one of the most pervasive, misunderstood and under-serviced health issues in the world today” Professor Harald Breivik,International Association for the Study of Pain. Yoga has an important role to play. During this event, we will explore Chronic NMS pain as a balancing act between all of our human dimensions: The Mind-Body-Spirit trilogy and how chronic pain is the result of unconscious postural and psychological habits.

The mechanisms of acute and chronic stress in preventing Healing.

Postural Alignment in Asanas and the Use of Props to treat biomechanical dysfunctions.

Breathing, the foundation for healing.

The Importance of Presence and Somatic Awareness in Rehabilitation.What do the attendees need to bring? Pen, paper, any questions to have answered. About the Presenter: Sylviane has been described as “The Woman who can take the thorn out of the lion’s paw”!She has dedicated 30 years to Teaching Iyengar-style Yoga and trained many to become Teachers.

Advanced Pranayama and Meditation
2023-07-31 11:00 - 12:30 (Australia/Melbourne)
Join Yoga Australia online during this 1.5 hour presentation on Advanced Prānāyāma & Meditation with Jessica Ranjit. The most powerful and accelerated ways to improve your life & the connections with those around you, are often through Svādhyāya (self-study) & Sādhana (your personal spiritual path). Both Prānāyāma & meditation are integral parts of a Yogi’s spiritual practice, & the techniques selected must be considered in the context of lifestyle & outcome. This workshop describes Prānāyāma techniques such as Nadi Shuddhi, Sama Vrtti & Chandra Bhedana incorporating breath wave, bandhas, mantra, visualisation, digital count & metronome. Attendees new to these techniques will have the opportunity to practice & work with Jess towards proficiency ahead of teaching their students. You will also learn how to work in collaboration with their clients & students to prescribe the most appropriate Prānāyāma techniques for physical, psychological & spiritual wellbeing. The second component of the workshop focuses on Yogic Chakra meditation which builds on the Prānāyāma techniques already described. This complex method works with the Chakra system to balance body, mind and spirit through a multi-layered approach. The technique is used to accelerate spiritual evolution & insight, & activate higher brain centres. About the Presenter: Jessica teaches Ashtanga Vinyasa and Restorative Yoga, focusing on much more than the physical practice (Asana) and includes breathing techniques (Pranayama) and meditation in her classes. Her methods support students to accept where they find themselves, assist them to progress along their own unique path and reconnect them with their inner Guru. She uses variations to ensure students are safe, but appropriately challenged. Anchored in the Ashtanga tradition – with gratitude for the wisdom and teachers that came before her – Jessica began practicing yoga in 2001 and fell so deeply in love with the discipline, she now teaches private, group and corporate classes in order to share its gifts. Her more focused learning was born under the tutelage of Gregor Maehle and Monica Gauci, commencing in 2016, where she realised the invaluable benefits of the teacher/student relationship. She now wants to share this with you. Jessica holds a degree in Psychology and studied Astrology and Reiki from a young age. She has undertaken Vipassana in the Indian Himalaya and has worked with Bill Bennett on what he calls the ‘Personal Guidance System’. Jess also worked with the High Commission of India, Canberra as lead demonstrator for the 5th International Day of Yoga 2019 celebration.

Equinox Ceremony
2023-09-23 17:30 - 19:00 (Australia/Melbourne)
The Spring Equinox brings us warm, inspiring days. It’s time to celebrate the life force moving through & around you. The life force that gently tilts our home toward the Sun, coaxing the wildflowers into their full splendour, & carrying the migrant birds with their devotional song. To this phenomenal life, with its countless, unconditional opportunities to pause, to notice, to be grateful, to receive, to reciprocate, we bow in deep reverence. Together, on the Equinox, we find conscious stillness, for there is nothing other than this moment. Pure equilibrium. No future for worry, no past for regret. Just now. Where day meets night. Where feminine meets masculine. Where inhale floats in suspension before exhale. A blank slate. Again. For us. On this land, with this community, with this true & open heart, we finally come home to ourselves. With seeds for planting peace & wellbeing into our lives & the lives of all beings. At this sacred time, we reflect on the state of our body, mind & spirit. We acknowledge what we’ve manifested. We look beyond ego, with clarity of vision, to create a new Earth. Renewing ourselves & our sphere of influence, we use techniques practiced for millenia. We meditate, we breathe with intention, we bow, we share, we laugh, we nourish, we grow. Together. This intentional community that values & cherishes the importance of purposeful ritual, sacredness & love. We can’t wait to be in ceremony with you again.

We come to know the Divine & dystopia begins to wind back. We reconnect with our intuition. We fall in love with life, ourselves & all beings. This one day immersive workshop offers techniques to yoke the Soma within, balancing & uniting the masculine & feminine energies through intuitive movement, specific ancient Āsana, Prānāyāma & meditation practices, Restorative Yoga & Astrology. It’s medicine for the Soul. Is this the beginning of your new Sādhana? Could this be your gateway to remembering your true nature & a deeper understanding of this life? It’s time to lead from the heart, beloveds. It’s time to strip away all that undermines you. There is something arising. It’s time to join the Lunar Revolution.
