For over 20 years the majority of participants in my in person classes have enrolled for a 10 session term. This has given us the opportunity to experience the richness of exploring an overarching theme. Feedback over the years has affirmed that this is valuable and helpful so I am inviting you to our ongoing journey in this mode of online recordings. \n\n\n\nEach 3 month period offers within it one or two overarching themes that provide a focus for our practice together (to see what has been offered since autumn 2020 please scroll down).  \n\n\n\nYou can join the current journey (seed) and add as much additional content as you would like. Some of the previous yoga journey themes are also offered as courses so feel free to check those out also.

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/2023-11-18/ 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:20231119T090000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20231119T160000 DTSTAMP:20231105T200221 CREATED:20230913T044626Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231030T110047Z UID:10000622-1700384400-1700409600@yogaaustralia.org.au SUMMARY:Yoga Australia Mini Conference- Perth (WA) DESCRIPTION:Let’s gather again as a community and celebrate our passion for Yoga at our first mini- conference in Fremantle on Sunday 19th November. \n\n\n\nEnjoy presentations from experienced yoga teachers and trainers\, accrue CPD (Continuing Professional Development) points and have the chance to network and mingle with other yoga teachers and passionate yogis at this one day event. \n\n\n\nFeaturing a combination of both movement-based practices and verbal presentations\, this event is ideal for yoga students and yoga teachers wanting to immerse themselves deeper into their own practice whilst gaining professional development. \n\n\n\nWho is this conference for? If you are new to yoga or just learning about it\, this is a great place to start!
