10 Weeks of Yoga Philosophy Themed Classes

At Tania Alexander Yoga there are only 10 weeks of yoga left for this year!
And… there just happens to be five each of the Yamas and Niyamas, the moral and ethical observances, disciplines and duties of a yogi.

So, each week I will be introducing a different topic to theme our classes around with the intention that you gain greater curiosity, awareness and insight into your own way of being in the world. It is from this place that we each have the capacity to learn, grow, and heal, and become our authentic selves.

This October we will start with the five Yamas:

Ahimsa – non-harm
Satya – truth
Asteya – non-stealing
Brahmacarya – self control
Aparigraha – non-grasping

In November/December we will visit the five Niyamas:

Sauca – cleanliness
Santosha – contentment
Tapas – discipline
Svadhyaya – self-study
Isvara Pranidhana – surrender (to Source)

These 10 weeks will take us all the way to the final Hatha75 class of the year on Saturday 13th December, after which you are very welcome to stay and celebrate with our TAYoga Break Up Picnic!
Beginner yogis will be warmly welcomed!
There’s no need to commit to all 10 weeks and you won’t be locked into any subscriptions.
Come as a casual drop-in, or try a Class Pass and book the days that suit you.
Mats and props are available to borrow at the studio, should you desire.

VEDIC CHANTING CLASSES
2025-10-25 08:30 - 09:30, 2025-10-18 08:30 - 09:30, 2025-10-11 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

Finding Soul Space - Spring Retreat
2025-10-24 16:00 - 2025-10-26 14:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | Premalaya, 1701 Wildwood Road, Yallingup, Western Australia, 6282, Australia
Join Sarah Collin, Holistic Health Practitioner, Senior Yoga Teacher, and Yoga Therapist, for a delightful spring retreat in the heart of the beautiful South West of WA and bask in a rejuvenating program of yoga, sound therapy, chanting, and relaxation.
Finding Soul Space is all about YOU.
You choose what to attend and how to spend your time. The retreat offers morning yoga, relaxation, and meditation.
Our retreat begins on Friday evening with an Ayurvedic dinner, followed by our opening circle and sound bath.
Home-made morning tea is provided each day, taken at a leisurely pace, giving you time to enjoy the company of like-minded souls as you soak up the relaxed outdoor setting alongside the studio.
On Saturday, Sarah will share the power of Vedic chanting and meditative vocal toning, leading you into soulful chanting experiences.
You might like to stay cocooned at Premalaya for the weekend, retreating deep into your soul space and making simple meals in your apartment, or you might choose to take an outing to a local winery or cafe on Saturday for lunch or dinner as the program gives you space for whatever your soul desires. After you’ve enjoyed whatever delights you arranged for your Saturday dinner, you are welcome to enjoy the open fire in the outdoor area on Saturday night. Sit with Sarah (who loves a good fire) and let the evening unfold in great company and conversation. Sometimes less is more.
Sunday will begin with morning yoga and chanting. Then it’s time to go back to your apartment to pack up and check out by 10 am, but the retreat is not over. After checking out, we enjoy another delicious leisurely morning tea and a couple of hours to do as you choose. Take in another sauna or massage, go for a spring walk, or simply enjoy some time to reflect before our ayurvedic lunch.
After lunch, we will come back to the yoga studio to enjoy a deep relaxation and mini sound bath before our closing circle ceremony.
Ooh, I can’t wait to share this weekend with YOU.

Christine du Fresne will be teaching alignment-based asana, pranayama and restorative practices.
Carlos Pomeda, a former Swami and respected scholar with over 50 years of dedicated practice, will be leading us in an exploration of how our bodies become a vehicle for transformation through the practices of hatha yoga and related traditions. Carlos brings a depth of understanding rarely found in today’s yoga world. His teachings are a blend of humility, humour, and unmatched knowledge that will open doors into a deeper understanding of yoga.
His gift for making ancient teachings accessible and relevant can shift our perspective and elevate both our yoga practice and the way in which we live.
This isn’t just theory—it’s an opportunity to engage with a teacher who offers profound insights into the world of yoga, and life itself through the ancient wisdom of tantra, celebrating the fullness of life.

Hatha Yoga & Related Traditions with Carlos Pomeda
2025-10-19 11:00 - 14:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | SoHo Yoga, 16 Blandford Street, Grange, Brisbane, Queensland, 4051, Australia
What is the origin of Hatha Yoga? What is the mysterious Kundalini? How can I experience it and how can it help my practice? What is unique about the human body? How can yoga help me to understand my body? Above all, how can these teachings help me to deepen my practice? These are some of the questions that we will be exploring at this upcoming seminar. Building up on the knowledge of the Tantric traditions, the paths of kundalini yoga and hatha yoga present a radical approach in which the body is not an obstacle to spiritual life, but rather the very vehicle to enhance our consciousness and develop a sense of connectedness with our world and ourselves, at the deepest possible levels. This seminar will offer a fascinating tour of the hidden “anatomy” charted by the Tantric masters and will also present several powerful exercises to enhance our daily practice.

During this time he learned the various systems of Indian Philosophy and immersed himself in the practice of yoga, becoming one of the senior monks of the tradition and teaching meditation and philosophy to tens of thousands of students around the world. He combines this experience and traditional training with his academic background, which includes two Masters Degrees: one in Sanskrit, from U.C. Berkeley (where he has taught) and another one, in Religious Studies, from U.C. Santa Barbara.
Carlos currently lives in the US, and travels extensively around the world conducting a variety of retreats, courses, seminars, workshops and lectures on the Wisdom of Yoga and related subjects.

chant or sing it , but it is always a meditation. It transports us.

Come and immerse yourself in this wonderful aspect of yoga.

Breathwork - A Journey into the Superconsciousness States
2025-10-17 09:30 - 12:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | BIYOME Brookfield Retreat, Pacey, Upper Brookfield, Queensland, 4069, Australia
Join Senior Yoga Teacher, Celia Roberts BSc and Breathworker Alisa Craig for this special opportunity for you to explore your own states of consciousness at our Friday meditation retreat. These elevated states of awareness, often referred to as “superconsciousness,” have been mapped out in both yogic and Buddhist traditions, called the Samadhi states and the Jhanas. Now, thanks to modern research, we also have scientific evidence that sheds light on what happens to the mind and body as we engage in rhythmic and somatic breathing practices.
We’ll begin the day with Compassion-Focused Therapy exercises, helping to ground and embody a sense of safety before moving into deeper states of awareness. This will set the foundation for your nervous system to gently transition into altered states of consciousness. Afterward we will engage in a holotropic style of Breathwork practice for up to an hour. This style of breathing allows our nervous system and psyche to expand into a more open state of consciousness, in that state it provides the opportunity to rewire, repattern and recalibrate to become “whole”. Following the breathing will be a longer integration and reflection period – allowing those sacred “aha” moments to arise.
Participants will have the option to explore either open-mouthed holotropic breathwork, which can evoke powerful shifts, or a gentler, closed-mouth breathing technique that may offer a more expansive experience for some. This will be a gentle day of nurture and holding.
Celia Roberts will gently and safely guide you through yogic practices using the three essential tools that have been used throughout the ages to expand states of consciousness: breath, body, and mind. These foundational elements of yoga will be integrated to help you access deeper levels of awareness, facilitating self-realisation.
Alisa Craig, with her fine mastery of breath, will invite you to use your breath medicinally for healing. Celia and Alisa both invite you to use your breath to enter expansive states of consciousness where the thoughts can dissipate, the default mode network switches off and one can enter into what the yogis call the Samadhi states. These states reveal the absolute truth to the seer.

Mudras for Slowing Down Time
2025-10-12 16:30 - 17:30 (Australia/Sydney) | 100% online, Davidson, NSW, 2085, Australia
“…no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.”

Join me for a FREE online event (Zoom) on Sunday 12, October at 4:30pm (AEDT, Sydney) where we will be exploring the theme of ‘Mudras for Slowing Down Time’. We’ll share a real experience of sacred space within as we step free of the matrix.

The reason for running this workshop emerged out of a recent ‘wondering’: why does it seem that time is speeding up? This year has flown by, soon it will be 2026! How can I slow things down, bend and extend time, and allow myself to enter more fully into this gift of life.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Just like Neo in The Matrix, you’ll discover how to step outside the boundaries of time and space. In this sacred hour together, we’ll explore the power of Mudras, breath practices, and energy work to help you enter that deep sense of timelessness – where everything begins to slow and you can view life from a completely new perspective.

WORKSHOP BENEFITS:

Step out of life’s frantic pace
Calm your nervous system
Access heart wisdom and intuition
Release worries and concerns
Gain a fresh perspective on life
Activate subtle body energies

YOU’LL LEARN:

What Mudras are and how they can help you
How to enhance spiritual growth and access healing energy
Daily Mudra practices
A powerful breath technique
A transformative Mudra meditation for slowing down
How to easily enter an inner ‘flow’ state

We will also explore the specific hand position – yes, a Mudra – that Neo unconsciously used to access a state of flowing presence, grounded in intuition.

Let’s step free of the matrix together and gain simple wisdom to help us live a more soulful and soul-aligned life.

The Science of Self-Realisation & Liberation
2025-10-10 09:30 - 12:30 (Australia/Brisbane) | BIYOME Brookfield Retreat, Pacey, Upper Brookfield, Queensland, 4069, Australia
Liberation, a concept deeply rooted in various cultures and religions, refers to the release or freedom from limitations—whether physical, mental, or spiritual. Often associated with self-realisation, enlightenment, and transcendence, liberation in a spiritual context typically means breaking free from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, known as samsara. Achieving this state is frequently pursued through higher-level spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, and prayer.
Liberation involves transcending the constraints of the ego, allowing individuals to connect with their deeper spiritual essence and experience true freedom. Dr. Lisa Miller’s research on the awakened brain identifies five observable traits shared across religious and spiritual traditions: altruism, love of one’s neighbour as oneself, a sense of oneness, the practice of sacred transcendence, and adherence to a moral code. By consciously cultivating these traits, individuals can strengthen their “muscle of transcendent awareness,” leading to a more profound spiritual experience. Miller’s findings suggest that spirituality and religiosity are innate and heritable traits that can be nurtured through environmental influences over a person’s lifetime.
Join us as we explore the science of self-realisation and liberation, delving into practices that elevate consciousness and connect us with the profound truth of our spiritual nature through meditation and mindful awareness.
