Relaxing is a necessity, not a privilege. Bringing the body to complete stillness allows the mind to rest and let go. When tensions and stress become prevalent in the body, reclining in relaxation and restorative asanas brings balance and health back to the individual.

Conscious Rest moves the system towards peacefulness : deepening natural breath, slowing down the heart rate, reducing blood pressure issues, and relaxing all the muscles in the body. One can relieve fatigue, stress, anxiety and insomnia. Restorative asanas boost the immune system and encourage feelings of serenity and lightness throughout the body.

This 2 hour workshop style class will explore various restorative and relaxation asanas using props for ease and comfort. Details on the physical and energetic benefits will be delivered with clear instructions so that students can invite these postures into their daily self practice.

The workshop will end with a guided meditation.

Come and join me for a special Friday evening New Moon celebration. We will flow slowly through some moon salutations (Heat, movement, Yang energy) Followed by restorative poses (Yin energy) to allow the work to settle and the clarity to arise.

The lunar cycle is a journey that constantly ebbs and flows, but its story always begins with the new moon. While the full moon is always intense and climactic, the new moon is a more gentle nuanced experience. Both phases of the moon are important to be aware of.

The new moon is what kickstarts a whole new chapter in your life, as it represents the start of something new. For example: if you start or begin the process of committing to a new project during a new moon, there’s a good chance it will reach completion or peak by the time the corresponding full moon takes place six months later. All the emotions and turning points that tend to occur during a new moon are often incredibly telling and can reveal what is in store for you next.

The rest is a surprise……

The lunar phases affect the masses of water on earth, and so too affect our inner oceans. The element water, which governs the emotions of our being, is affected and transformed by the pull of the moon and its stunning vibration. The New Moon’s purifying energy is there to aid us in our reflection: it’s during the New Moon that we can reflect on our decisions and experiences; we can rejuvenate ourselves to start all over again.  A new beginning, a fresh start.

Join Michelle for a New Moon yoga experience to help invite transformative revelations for where you may feel stuck! New Moon is a perfect time to meditate through movement on the direction you wish to journey towards, symbolic of a second chance

See you in the flow 🌙🌙🌙

Yin Yoga is a slower paced style of Yoga, where the poses are more restorative in nature and the postures are held for longer periods of time. Working fully with the Yin qualities of the practice, there is little action and more time to be self reflective and connect inside. Traditional styles of Yoga work with the balance of Yang (action) , and Yin (non-action). In Yin Yoga we are solely exploring the non-action of the whole and the experience of surrender and letting go.

Yin Yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective of the body—the tendons, fascia, and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Often viewed as a more meditative approach to yoga, its goals are awareness of inner silence, and bringing to light a universal, interconnecting quality.

We will explore various static poses - using props for ease and comfort. When we hold the poses in a more passive fashion, we work deeper with the connective tissues, as opposed to the regular muscles used in more active styles of Yoga. This allows students to work deeply on the emotional healing level.

The pull of the moon has an effect on the vast oceans on the planet as well as the dominant water component of our human bodies. Increased sensitivity, heightened emotion and awareness is often experienced during the Full Moon.

Respecting the laws of nature and flowing with an understanding of how to tailor the yoga practice according to the external cycles, encourages a greater opportunity for peace and harmony within.

Join Michelle for a fun, fluid, slow flow class on Sunday. The class will incorporate Moon salutations, some easy flow sequencing coupled with softness and reflection. Look forward to moving, maybe some dancing and flowing with you respecting the beauty of Lunar energy! The Full Moon falls on Tuesday the 16th, but the effects will be already in effect.

Come and join Michelle in experiencing the power of Twisting!! Manipulating the entire trunk in an aligned movement creates optimal space and mobility between the vertebrae. This increased mobility and space creation helps to relieve tension, tightness and unnecessary pain in the spine, especially in the lower back. Twists are an effective, natural and healthy way to cleanse and detoxify the inner digestive and reproductive organs. The ability to breathe naturally and into the entire abdomen is also improved through the action of twisting correctly.

In this workshop the important ingredients that make Twists beneficial and safe will be explained and experienced in depth. The ‘Twisting’ asanas work with the water element, and thereby aid our ability to discover our voice of clarity, feel our emotions and communicate our truth with integrity.

We will cover various floor and standing twists, with an emphasis on correct Alignment.

Synchronising with the theme of death and rebirth, this workshop will focus all energies in being in the heart space. To be human means living in the heart.

Backbends are the quickest way to fix imbalances or strong pains in the back. Practising Backbends increase overall health, longevity and mobility of the spine.

The specific movement and positioning of the spine creates necessary space, boosts confidence, improves postural defects, encourages natural breathing and can cure depression.

Opening across the front body and chest area can be invigorating, thrilling, and sometimes scary. The workshop space will ensure that the correct preparation is executed so that practitioners feel ready, held and totally supported.

Hatha Yoga principles will be explored in detail using both active and passive Backbends. Some postures will incorporate the use of props so poses can be held, with correct alignment, for longer periods of time and all benefits experienced.

Expect to bend and extend while also challenging old fears that may surface. Come and learn to soften into your boundaries and leave feeling totally alive!

Relaxing is a necessity, not a privilege. Bringing the body to complete stillness allows the mind to rest and let go. When tensions and stress become prevalent in the body, reclining in relaxation and restorative asanas brings balance and health back to the individual.

In Hatha yoga practice, our goal is to achieve a balance of ‘HA’ – action, and ‘THA’ – reflection. HA energy is needed to bring vitality to the whole, but the gentler reflective THA quality is necessary to harmonise this energy.

Conscious Rest moves the system towards peacefulness : deepening natural breath, slowing down the heart rate, reducing blood pressure issues, and relaxing all the muscles in the body. One can relieve fatigue, stress, anxiety and insomnia. Restorative asanas boost the immune system and encourage feelings of serenity and lightness throughout the body.

This 3 hour workshop will explore various restorative and relaxation asanas using props for ease and comfort. Details on the physical and energetic benefits will be delivered with clear instructions so that students can invite these postures into their daily self practice.

The workshop will end with a guided meditation...
