Our culture tends to celebrate DOING… doing more, achieving more, producing more. And even Yoga practice may feel like that: being better, to be more extraordinary, striving to bend further and so on.

Yet, the essence of Yoga may be about cultivating something different, less effortful, and more about BEING. To have times in your practice, in your day, to just be, and to be open to what may arise from a quality of being.

In this workshop:

• Gentle movement and self-care practices to release excess tension.

• Meditation and iRest® Yoga Nidra orientated to experience being.

• Rest deeply and be nourished within the quiet ease and home ground of being.

This course, led by studio owner, Kara Sweney, is designed for absolute beginners to yoga, who may never have stepped foot on a yoga mat, or into a studio before.

We meet on six consecutive Mondays from 715-825pm. The course aims to introduce you to a studio environment, the terminology, tools and the fundamentals of the practice of Yoga - basic postures and movement and the importance of breath. We want to "break the ice" on Yoga for you and equip you with the knowledge and some confidence to join the classes on our timetable.

MANIFEST

Come spring, it’s time to clean out our closet, go inward, set new intentions, connect and begin the process of manifestation. Spring in Aotearoa is a beautiful period of renewal; we’ve weathered the winter, welcomed back longer days and can now set our sights on summer and the new year ahead. On Saturday  Oct 19, 2-4pm we will deep dive into the garden and spring within our heart to sow spring seeds for manifesting all that is in alignment with our desires and soul path. With the gentle, loving guidance of delicious ceremonial cacao, expect to relax into a magical guided meditation while being bathed in shamanic sound vibrations fine-tuned for helping us to fulfil our wildest dreams.

This is a dynamic and playful workshop to help you build the strength, awareness and confidence to get inverted in your practice. Inversions positively influence the cardiovascular, lymphatic, nervous, and endocrine systems. Also great for the cognitive function as oxygen-rich blood flows to your brain. After you adjust to it you begin to notice that your brain feels more alive. Since your brain is the largest consumer of oxygen in your body, more blood means more oxygen, which means better brain function.

THE HEART OF YOGA NIDRA |Embodying a Felt Sense of Sanctuary, Kindness and Compassion

An iRest® Yoga Nidra workshop

"Don’t meditate to fix yourself, to heal yourself, to improve yourself, to redeem yourself; rather, do it as an act of love, of deep warm friendship to yourself." Bob Sharpels

Taking one of Neal’s all-time favourite quotes about meditation as a guide, in this workshop we use the practice of iRest® Yoga Nidra to awaken and embody a felt sense of safety, sanctuary, kindness and compassion.

Central questions we may consider during our Yoga Nidra practice are what, where, and how do we experience these feelings in our body when:
You are kind to someone / some being?
You receive kindness?
You witness kindness?

The second part of the workshop will orientate around compassion. We will discuss what compassion is, what empathy is, and we will practice Yoga Nidra as an invitation to experience compassion for others and for ourselves.

TUNING IN & UP

Upgrading our frequency is the new buzz phrase for navigating the challenges of the ‘’heavy” global shift our planet, humanity, and the collective consciousness is currently experiencing. So given that positive change begins from within; let’s embark on an inward journey where with the loving help of ceremonial cacao, relaxing guided meditation and shamanic sound vibration we will tune up and into the cosmic crystalline grid, journeying through a portal for a high frequency/vibration activation for alignment with our greatest potential.

RADICAL EXPANSION 

Many of us find it difficult to effect change or do what needs to be done for moving forward in life. Having the courage to leave a job, end a partnership, speak our truth or start afresh calls for radical self expansion. A consciousness shift that involves rising above the drama and making soul aligned choices. On Saturday June 22, 2-4pm come and experience a journey for radical expansion where delicious ceremonial cacao, relaxing guided meditation and shamanic sound vibration help us to lift our gaze, take charge and reach for the stars.

JUNE 10th | LIGHTEN UP

Our changing world is going through a heavy stage that for many, is making life feel quite fearful and negative. This ceremony is to help us lighten up; to release some of the personal ‘stuff’ that weighs us down and to bring us into a more positive and neutral focus. Come relax into a meditative voyage receiving guidance from Mayan ceremonial cacao as we use gentle breathwork, guided meditation and shamanic sound vibration to go deep within to access the love and wisdom that will help shift us into a lighter, brighter state of being.

Ceremonial-grade cacao is quite unlike the powered version bought in-store. The difference being that because it’s raw (uncooked) none of the goodness has been removed making it a pure, alive whole food with the activating properties that make it a transformational medicine, intact. Prepared with sacred intention, ceremonial cacao is a powerful initiator for opening the heart and releasing that which no longer serves us. Here it’s combined with kundalini activation breath work, along with the immersive vibrations of the Sun Gong and shamanic instruments, and a guided meditation into a visualised volcano where your spirit guides are waiting to help you to heal, receive and transform.
