When was the last time you felt truly at ease and at peace? Do you find yourself bouncing from one thing to the next or chasing your tail while you try to meet all your commitments and responsibilities? Do you feel like you’re not quite ‘making the grade’ in any area of your life?

Or perhaps you feel good about some areas of your life, but others just don’t seem to ‘work’, no matter what you do or how hard you try? Or are you at a crossroads, where circumstances in your life have changed and you’re not sure where to go next?

You might be struggling to connect authentically with the people in your life, feeling separateness and aloneness, even amid friends, family or co-workers?

Whether you are new to Yoga or someone who has been practicing for a while, this program could be exactly what you’re looking for. It can satisfy your curiosity and deepen your knowledge and experience of what Yoga can offer.

Greater Ease is Possible

If you’ve answered yes to any (or many) of these questions, the good news is you are not alone! Many of us struggle to find moments of ease in our lives and if we have found them, we wonder how we can lengthen and maintain the feeling of calm, peace and clarity that we know is achievable.

What if you could find a reliable and simple way to find that feeling of wholeness that you know is possible? What if you had the knowledge, tools and caring support you needed to make (and sustain) positive change in all areas of your life? An internal and external ‘support system’ that you could turn to whenever you needed it?

Transformation Can Be Yours

Does it sound a bit too good to be true? The beautiful truth is that through learning and applying the ancient wisdom of the system of Yoga, and being supported within a group of like-minded people, you can experience incredible personal transformation and bring about lasting change in all areas of your life (regardless of whether you have practiced yoga before or not).


What Makes This Program So Powerful?

In a way that is both deeply healing and highly practical, through the application of yoga philosophies, techniques and tools, this unique program supports you in what you need to bring lasting change in your life. This program is strictly limited to a maximum of 12 participants to ensure every member of the group receives optimal support and guidance.

The secret to the transformational power of this program comes down to three important things:

1. The Power of Shared Intention

Being part of a group of like-minded people and the sense of togetherness and community that develops when everyone is working toward a shared intention is something that is both beautiful and powerful. Together we will experience fun, laughter and special connection as we encourage and support each other through our personal and shared transformation.

2. The Power of Self Reflection

As you learn to appreciate and listen to your higher and innate wisdom, you may find that there are paths, not yet explored, that will support and possibly accelerate your journey in life.  And with the knowledge of the multi-dimensionality of your human experience, you can explore and discover new ways that will serve you – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

3. The Power of Personal Practice

With the support of an experienced yoga teacher-mentor, you will develop your own personal yoga practice, weaving in the tools, techniques and philosophies you are learning in a highly-personalised way that embeds your learning into your daily life. Your mentor will guide you in the development of a personal practice that meets you exactly where you are right now and takes you gently but surely to where you want to be.


What You’ll Experience

This program is carefully structured to make sure you have the time, space and support you need to digest and embody what you learn and apply it in your life. There will be a combination of: sharing the wisdom of Yoga teachings; facilitated group discussion where everyone is given the opportunity to listen and to be truly ‘listened to’; guided movement and breath practices; exploration of what is and is not serving you through playful and reflective activities.

If you have an existing yoga practice, you will take your practice deeper and experience a profound shift in your relationships with others and with yourself. If you are completely new to yoga, you will learn to connect with your breath, mind, body and loved ones in a whole new way.

Regardless of your level of experience, you will come to understand, and learn to practice Yoga in a way that supports you as you move towards the life you want. You will also learn to truly listen and connect to yourself and others more consciously.
