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. \n\n\n\nTogether\, 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. \n\n\n\nOn 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. \n\n\n\nAt 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. \n\n\n\nWe can’t wait to be in ceremony with you again. \n\n\n\nWhere: Dunghutti Country\, Crescent Head\, NSW \n\n\n\nWhen: Spring Equinox\, Saturday 23 September \n\n\n\nCost: $39 incl a nourishing supper \n\n\n\nIn keeping with the intimate nature of our events\, places are limited\, so reach out now to secure your spot & ensure you’re catered for.

Both Prānāyāma & meditation are integral parts of a Yogi’s spiritual practice\, & the techniques selected must be considered in the context of lifestyle & outcome. \n\n\n\nThis 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. \n\n\n\nYou will also learn how to work in collaboration with their clients & students to prescribe the most appropriate Prānāyāma techniques for physical\, psychological & spiritual wellbeing. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter: \n\n\n\nJessica 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.  \n\n\n\nAnchored 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. \n\n\n\nJessica 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. \n\n\n\nIf you’re looking for improved physical\, mental and spiritual health\, and an inner freedom amid the chaos that is this life\, reach out now. \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll need: \n\n\n\n• Pen & notebook \n\n\n\n• Capacity to sit comfortably in a meditation posture \n\n\n\n• An empty stomach \n\n\n\nBookings & Venue \n\n\n\nBookings are essential\, please make sure to secure your spot through Eventbrite.

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. \n\n\n\nHealthcare 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. \n\n\n\nYoga 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: \n\n\n\n\nThe Mind-Body-Spirit trilogy and how chronic pain is the result of unconscious postural and psychological habits.\n\n\n\nThe mechanisms of acute and chronic stress in preventing Healing.\n\n\n\nPostural Alignment in Asanas and the Use of Props to treat biomechanical dysfunctions.\n\n\n\nBreathing\, the foundation for healing.\n\n\n\nThe Importance of Presence and Somatic Awareness in Rehabilitation.\n\n\n\n\nWhat do the attendees need to bring? \n\n\n\nPen\, paper\, any questions to have answered. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter: \n\n\n\nSylviane 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. She is also a highly respected Therapist and owned a clinic specialised in chronic neuromuscular-skeletal pain and sensorimotor rehabilitation. Sylviane is also a certified clinical hypnotherapy and Life coach. \n\n\n\nHer journey to becoming the expert that she is today took a new turn when she suffered severe spinal injuries and nerve damage that leaves her body partially paralysed.

Of its many definitions\, the most pertinent is the gleaming fluid secreted from the pineal gland during deep states of spiritual practice and identifying with the moon. \n\n\n\nThe Soma Sessions integrally connect you to the lunar phases and energies through specific Asana\, Pranayama and meditation techniques to bring you closer to these intuitive states and a joyful sense of calm. \n\n\n\nDuring the Soma Sessions\, we practice together under the influence of the waning and waxing moon. We feel the contrast and proceed accordingly. \n\n\n\nWe move gently\, breathe well\, rest and bathe in the ocean of self-love and community. Then we eat – served by our very own culinary Guru Dipendra from Streets of Nepal Crescent Head. \n\n\n\nWhen: Every second Saturday from 1 April 2023 \n\n\n\nTime: 7.30-9.00am \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBYO: Mat\, water bottle\, empty belly \n\n\n\nPreferred to be contacted via email please: jessica.ranjit@gmail.com URL:https://yogaaustralia.org.au/event-course/soma-sessions/2023-07-15/ LOCATION:Loftus Road\, Loftus Road\, Crescent Head\, New South Wales\, 2440\, Australia CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://yogaaustralia.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Soma-Sessions-flyer-Oct-23.png ORGANIZER;CN="Jessica%20Ranjit":MAILTO:jessica.ranjit@gmail.com GEO:-31.1498869;152.9785018 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loftus Road Loftus Road Crescent Head New South Wales 2440 Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Loftus Road:geo:152.9785018,-31.1498869 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20230714T160000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20230716T140000 DTSTAMP:20231105T200514 CREATED:20230607T014940Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231030T110631Z UID:10000417-1689350400-1689516000@yogaaustralia.org.au SUMMARY:Winter Yoga Retreat DESCRIPTION:Join me for a nurturing winter retreat.
