RACHEL
Open Yoga with Rachel zinman
6 week course - Wednesday 7:00 - 8:30am, 25 Jan - 1 Mar
The deepest meaning of Yoga is Oneness. Yoga practice is the reminder. You are already perfect and whole as you are. When we open our bodies and calm our minds and emotions through the different practices of yoga we discover that stillness is always there. It just seems elusive in the busyness of everyday life.
In this Open Yoga 6-week Course, Rachel will be teaching a style of yoga called इष्टम् ISHTAM. ISHTAM combines asana, pranayama, meditation, mudra and mantra with a foundation in the healing science of Ayurveda and the philosophy of Vedanta to support you to remember yourself not just on the mat but in your everyday life. ISHTAM is the final resolution of yoga. Your SELF
The Course is open to all levels, ages and abilities and each class will explore different sequences and practices. Make a commitment to yourself and come consistently to experience the nourishing benefits that a regular practice offers.
Course Cost: $150

Having practiced for the past 54 years he is looking forward to enrolling students in a unique yoga program to explore the effects of Siddha Kriya Pranayama.

Light On Self 2023 - Atma Vidya
Next course dates tba
In this dynamic series of lectures, John Weddepohl (Siddhartan Dharmadeep) takes us on a journey of revelation to the ultimate understanding and explosion of the unquestionable pure Self. Drawing on the revelatory knowledge of each session, as we let go our false notions of self, an inexplicable joy erupts as the timeless beauty of what is unquestionably present is revealed. As we revel in the understanding and completeness of the vision, seeing the ocean of joy and brilliance of ones original life’s purpose shine forth, what mystifies and stupefies us most is; How did I not see it myself in the first place!
Since man first questioned and contemplated his existence, the author-less teaching of ATMA VIDYA आत्मा विद्या (Self-Knowledge) has given him the answer. Answering the one thing unquestionable: ourselves, after getting lost in taboo and secrecy, rescued from orthodoxy, the modern revival of Self-knowledge in English, has brought the core teaching of the veda/upanishads back to life. Culminating in a final interactive session dedicated to Q&A students can verify and clarify any doubts they may still have.
“Sitting with my Master, a PhD in English for 7 years in Tiruvanamalai (2004-2011) mandated to teach, encouraged by the response, I have been travelling and sharing ever since.” – John Weddepohl

Private yoga & meditation
Schedule a time with Tabatha
MEDITATION, at its best, allows us to cooperate with our bodies' natural ability to heal itself. Since time began, people have been connecting within through music, dance, art and other ways of communing with nature. Meditation schools have taken this knowledge and formalised it, allowing the wisdom of the ages to be passed down. But there is no one way to meditate, no "one size fits all". Through Meditation Coaching with Tabatha you will connect with you innate and spontaneous meditations, your own natural gateways that allow you to connect with your own inner essence.
YOGA There is deep healing available to us through the practice of yoga. We can create space, ease and comfort in our mind, body and spirit through regular engagement with the movement of breath and body and the open embrace of our soul through meditation. In yoga sessions provided one-on-one, the potential is amplified because you get to work with Tabatha on what particularly moves and inspires you, focusing specifically on your needs and wants.

COHERENT BREATHING/YOGA
IN STUDIO : TUESDAY 12 - 1.30PM
Coherent Breathing cultivates a state of calm and ease in the body-mind through the vehicle of the breath. It helps to reduce stress, optimise organ function, and encourages Parasympathetic Nervous System dominance. This practice has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. The practice begins in standing with shaking and tapping to bring us into our bodies. We integrate breath with spinal movements in lying before finding stillness in a restorative pose. We follow the soothing sound of a gong which leads us into the pinnacle of the practice – Coherent Breathing for 20 minutes and completes with a guided mediation.
Cost: 1st Nov. class FREE taster, then sliding scale $15-$25, or $75 for 5 class block.
