YOGA in Port Noarlunga

Namaste Friends
Welcome to Week 8 & Spring 🤩
The Wood Element carries the power of expansion. It holds the power of life of a tree: taking energy from Mother Earth & from Father Sky. In human life, it creates the movement that pushes the physical body to express our spirit.
Wood Element connects with emotions of kindness, forgiveness, self-expansion & identity.
Join me this week for an expansive Spring Flow practice.
Classes this week
Tuesday: 6:30-8pm
Wednesday: 10-11:30am
Saturday: 7-8:30am

Spring Awakening Half Day Workshop at Old Noarlunga, Saturday 21st September
2-5pm. Transition smoothly from Winter to Spring 🙏
The season of Spring is associated with the Element of Wood & it corresponds to the liver. As everything around us blossoms in the spring, so too should we embrace this time.
But the liver must be kept in check. Often the winter months leave some stagnant feelings, which can manifest in different areas like relationships, work or even our bodies. If there is frustration, physical pain or sadness, it may be a sign that energy is not flowing properly or optimally.
Join Annie & Libby as we celebrate Spring through the Sister science of Ayurveda, Relaxation, Asana, Pranayama & Meditation.
Blessings & Peace
Annie & Libby

This is my trusty Yoga travel mat. It’s super lightweight & thin so can easily fit in the case lengthways & bends easily if needed. (Gekko is the brand, & yes Australian 😊)
Allowing that much needed practice wherever, whenever!
My morning ritual consists of a half hour practice followed
by Komorebi (Japanese hot baths)
Off to Tokyo today for a few nights & head home Thursday.
This trip has been incredible.
Blessings & Love

Yesterday trekked up Mt Kurama in the heat & humidity (we went early)
🙏
My Reiki Family would be aware of Dr Usui & his 21 day Meditation & where he gained Reiki Energy.
This was very much a deep spirit quest for me, the whole area felt very sacred as soon as we disembarked the train … once down we found a hidden gem, a Buddhist cafe … what a great day!

WELCOME TO CHAKRA WEEK
In yoga, the life force energy (“prana") travels through the subtle body in a series of channels, called "nadis." These nadis intersect at points of intensified energy, called "chakras." Which are spinning vortexes of energy in the subtle body that correspond to various glands along the spine and inside the skull. Each chakra governs specific behaviors and values in our lives, such as material security, communication, and love. They also regulate various bodily systems, like the skeletal system. Every chakra also corresponds to an element, to a "mantra" (a "repeated syllable"), and to a specific colour along the rainbow spectrum.
Classes this week:
Tuesday: 6:30-8pm
Wednesday: 10-11:30am
Look forward to sharing this practice with you. 😌

😌 Saturday, 8th June - 7-8:30am
Heaviness, Cleansing & Self Care in the Winter. If you feel overly sluggish, & have a hard time feeling motivated this time of year, or you have a kapha constitution, or even depression, make sure to set up a schedule where you’re staying active & engaged throughout the winter.
Flow into the water element�Imagine & feel the calming flow of water … The softness of water increases your body’s relaxation. So let’s focus on soft, gentle breathing & releasing any tension in tight muscle groups throughout your body. Breathe easily, slowly throughout the practice … 🙏 Be Still & let Peace wash over you …
