Yoga Bliss

I find the lake (here my local Lake Goollelal) is a wonderful metaphor for vrittis (heart-mind stuff).

Sometimes clear all the way to the bottom, sometimes there are waves to overwhelm (turn your boat upside down!) and sometimes perfectly reflecting things just as they are🙏

From the pages of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras in reference to 1.2: Yoga's Chitta Vritti Nirodha. Chitta is the mind-stuff. Vritti is to whirl. Nirodha is cessation, also described as the "way out of the negative effects of Vritti activity".

Translated another way: "The exposition of yoga begins with the cessation of the whirling of the mind-stuff."

Come and enjoy a class with us🤗💜💎

A most wonderful weekend shared with 17 lovely women to Retreat, reset, relax and bask in the peace of the Chittering Valley 💚

Sharing time through Yoga, meditation, reflection, connection, singing, walks to the river, and enjoying delicious meals together. We explored the idea of creating morning/evening self care routines through the wisdom of Ayurveda 💚

I will always treasure this experience that came along at the perfect time for me, to share the transformational practices of Yoga, to awaken compassion that heals us all 💚

Thank you!! And gratitude to Christine and Peter at Moondyne Country Convention Centre for their warm hospitality 💚

A heart full💖 Next Retreat is on Wednesday 18 September (which would have been my Father's Birthday!)

With much love Andrea # # #

A lovely nurturing gift for yourself or for Mother's Day Love💗

Lovely nurturing gifts for yourself or Mother's Day love💕

It is with heavy heart that I share the passing yesterday of my Father, Graham Freeman aged 91 🙏💖

He lived in England and was a Shropshire boy, who later joined the Canadian Airforce and met my Mother. In 1960 I was born. 4 years later we moved to be near family in Wonersh, near Guildford UK. He was an airline Captain in those days, a doting parent and our bond was deep 💖

At age 10 my Mother took me to South Africa and I was only to see him again at 18 years of age.

Even though we saw each other sporadically, he was my Dad, and I have many warm memories.

My condolences go out to his wife and 2 half siblings...with Love Dad, Rest In Peace🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖

If you love a foot massage, you will absolutely love this...

Vatki Kansa treatment, is a traditional Ayurvedic healing technique that involves the use of a Kansa wand bowl made of Kansa metal. This therapy is believed to offer several potential benefits:

• Balancing Doshas: helps balance 3 doshas, promoting overall well-being and health. A specific oil is chosen for you.

• Lymphatic Drainage: Kansa massage involves gentle and repetitive strokes, which are believed to stimulate the lymphatic system. This may help the body eliminate toxins, reduce fluid retention, and improve overall immune system function.

• Stress Reduction: The soothing and rhythmic massage strokes induce relaxation and reduce stress and anxiety. The treatment is often associated with a calming and grounding effect.

• Pain Relief: relieving pain and tension in the muscles and joints. The metal is thought to draw excess heat and acidity from the body, potentially reducing pain and inflammation.

• Improved Energy Flow: balance the flow of Prana (life energy) within the body. This can result in increased vitality and a sense of well-being.

• Enhanced Sleep Quality: promotes better sleep by relaxing the body and calming the mind

• Balancing Chakras: aligning the body's energy centers and promoting mental and emotional harmony.

• Improved Circulation: The massage strokes enhance blood circulation, potentially leading to better oxygen and nutrient delivery to the body's cells.

All treatments in my peaceful Santosa Sanctuary - 3 Illawong Way Kingsley 🌿🙏😊✨️
