Style of classes
The style of yoga I teach is traditional. I encourage students to practice at their own pace and offer easier ways to do poses that are more challenging. Most of the class is asana practice (yoga exercises and breathing) and the rest is relaxation and meditation. The classes are small and suitable for everyone from beginners to more experienced practitioners.
Weekly Focus
Each week I focus a little more on a particular aspect of health, while still giving an overall workout for the whole body.  As an example, some of the areas I focus are "Back Care", "Yoga Combined with Acupressure" "Balancing the Glandular System", "Serenity" (which is more focus on relaxation, restoration and meditation), etc. These themes cover a wide variety of yoga techniques to cover and improve all aspects of your health.
Meditation Classes and Kirtans
No charge for any of the meditation classes below. Donations are welcome to cover costs but not necessary.
By appointment
Personal or group classes at my place or your place. I am available to teach individuals or groups in my studio or your workplaces, support group facilities, etc. Learn some simple yet highly effective methods of meditation that you can practice in your daily life to release stress and anxiety, improve relationships and to cultivate a lasting inner happiness.

Kirtan is a joyful and uplifting form of meditation. It is done with music and singing of the sacred yoga mantras. It is a very effective and easy way to release stress. One can just sit comfortably and listen to the soothing transcendental sound vibrations, or sing along with others. You will feel a huge weight lift off your shoulders.

Yoga Nidra - YMSA Yoga Meditation Studio Kingscliff


Yoga Nidra (Nid-Ra) is a method of relaxation to help quieten your mind and release physical tension, bringing calmness and clarity to your whole being.  

Nidra (Sanskrit) means ‘deep sleep’, not dreaming. It is a state of conscious deep sleep.

This ancient yoga tradition is described as a form of meditation which is usually practiced whilst lying down. Those of you who have attended a yoga class may be familiar with yoga nidra which is usually practiced at the end of the class.

It’s not a necessity to attend a yoga class to enjoy the benefits of yoga nidra. You can easily practice in the comfort of your own home.
 
Yoga Meditation Studios Kingscliff has made available a yoga nidra CD, enhanced with beautiful music, and finishes with a very peaceful yoga chant. 

Very calming and tranquil.

To order your yoga nidra CD, please phone (02) 66742556. $10 or if posted $15
                     
 Some simple guidelines:

 Before commencing you will need to find a quiet, warm place, where you won’t be disturbed for about 30 minutes.
  • The best way to practice yoga nidra is by lying on your back with your arms out by your sides and the palms facing up.
  • Your feet should be hip width apart with the toes falling outwards.
  • Your eyes are to remain closed throughout the session; an eye pillow is helpful.To lessen any external distractions.
  • It’s also important whilst lying down to make sure your body is in a symmetrical position.
  • You can check this by slightly lifting your head and looking down past your navel to your feet.
  • This position helps balance the flow of prana (chi) or life-force throughout your body.
 Yoga nidra helps one gain an inner peace and quieting of the mind. It’s a very relaxed state and beneficial for your whole being. Ideally it is recommended to make this a daily activity which only takes 20-30 minutes.
 
If you feel that you haven’t got the time then please consider that practitioners claim a 20-30 minute yoga nidra session has the same rejuvenating effect as several hours of sleep!

Yoga Meditation Studios Australia (Kingscliff) offers FREE Yoga Nidra classes Monday's at 7pm.
Ph: (02) 66742556 for further enquiries.

YMSA - Yoga Meditation Studio Palm Beach - Ukulele Lessons and Meditation

 

ALOHA

Ukulele and Mantras are a great combination

The Ukulele is a very laid back instrument commonly associated with relaxation, holidays, gorgeous weather, sunshine and good times.
Our thoughts turn to Hawaii, the beautiful beaches, white sands, turquoise coloured waters, fragrant plumeria trees and sweet perfumed flower leis. 

Ahhhh yes the ukulele ...! A relatively easy instrument to play and very popular simply because a base uke, (not a toy) costs around $30.00 which makes it affordable to the masses. This is a very important consideration. For most of us, finding money for extras is hard these days. 

We have Ukulele lessons on every Monday except on public holidays.
Our lessons consist of learning popular tunes and fitting simple meditations to the tunes.
It's great fun!

Did you know that one meaning of ALOHA is:
A - ala, watchful, alertness
L - lokahi, working with unity
O - oia'i'o, truthful honesty
H - ha'aha'a, humility
A - ahonui, patient perseverance 
Very nice.  


Here's another word for you - Gauranga.
It is easily pronounced in 4 syllables

Gaur - ra - ang - ga

This is one of the meditations we learn and sing along to in our ukulele lessons.
Practice saying it a few times each day before you come along so you will be prepared for ukulele lessons. 

Gauranga means 'beautiful golden one'.

You are very welcome to come along and try ukulele for yourself.  

We look forward to meeting you, a fellow ukulelian in the making. 
Until then happy strumming.


If you would like more information on this event, leave a comment or a message along with your details. We will get back to you as soon as we can.
