Tuesday 9.30am Hatha Yoga class is a welcoming space for women who want to keep moving, breathing and staying connected to their bodies in a subtle way as they move through the years.

This isn't a hard-core yoga class, but an opportunity to gently stretch, build strength, move stagnant energy, improve mobility and enjoy moving with awareness.

Whether you're feeling a little stiff, wanting to maintain your mobility, or looking for time out and a space to connect back to yourself, you're very welcome to join us. All props are provided

Tuesday, 9.30–11am....$ 25
All women welcome.
My model below is the beautiful Trish who Ive have had the pleasure of sharing my teaching with for a very long time now . She is such an inspiration in so many ways .

Keeping the pelvic tissues active and nourished.......

As we move into perimenopause and menopause, and our hormones begin to shift, it's such an important time to give attention to our pelvic health.

Movement, pelvic-floor awareness, relaxation, appropriate strengthening and maintaining sexual and physical activity can all help support circulation, mobility and pelvic function.
And importantly, when we tend to pelvic-floor care, it isn't simply about squeezing and strengthening — sometimes we need to rebuild our awareness and our neural pathways so we can release, soften and relax.

These are some of the practices and conversations I'll be bringing to REFRAMING Menopause, the second edition of a day retreat my good friend and collaborator Claudine and I are creating together.

It’s been a couple of years since we ran the last REFRAMING menopause. We had such a wonderful and rich day with women who came from all parts the Northern Rivers and beyond.
We felt the time was right to run it again.

I'll be sharing practices and opening conversations around caring for our pelvis, deepening our awareness and understanding the physical and energetic changes that occur through this season of life .
We would love for you to join us for the day to explore, share and discover ways to better understand and care for ourselves as we navigate this transition in life.

All women welcome

Its been a while …Ive taken a little break from teaching on Tuesdays morning though ready to move back into sharing the practice once again with renewed energy and restored passion .
Offering two classes weekly Tuesday and Thursday 9.30-11am .

Tuesday morning class is slow paced simple and gentle that offers women a steady, grounding practice that supports connection to body, breath, and inner rhythm. Sometimes all we need is simplicity and awareness to stay in tune with our bodies

Thursday class is about the connection to the pelvis …the deep core , the pelvic floor , the glutes ect ….toning, restoring , awareness tension holding .

Sometimes you have to say no as a self care practice. As I grow more into my mature years my energy body is speaking more loudly or perhaps i am listening more closely .... mmm ...either way its asking for space to tend to the soul.
So... having a little break from Tuesday yoga until the 29th September.
Thursday somatic movement class will continue for those women seeking awareness, connection, toning and strengthening of the pelvic space which means deep core , pelvic floor and associated muscles and energy systems that support , nourish and provide guidance and balance to this so very important feminine space.
All women welcome 💚
Thursday 9.30-11am

One of my favourite expressions I use when holding class is the saying “sink deep and start feeling from the inside out”.

In yoga, and somatic movement practices, we often begin by becoming familiar with the physical body—our muscles, joints, breath and posture.
Yet beneath this tangible layer is another aspect of the self ...that being the energy body.
While we can't see it with our eyes, we can learn to sense it through refined awareness and presence and like any new skill, it takes time to recognise and build awareness and connection around the subtleness of this energy .

As our sensitivity deepens, we begin to notice these subtle currents moving through the body, perhaps as a gentle sense of spaciousness, warmth, tingling, vitality, aliveness or simply developing the awareness that you can actually transmute this energy and connection into our every day lives.

We all tap into it in our own unique way and eventually we become less identified with simply "doing" and more aware to experiencing it from the inside out.

For most of us ....the energy body isn't something we need to create—it is already there. Yoga and somatic movement simply helps us become still enough to feel what has always been present.

Tuesday and Thursday classes are on this week .
These classes are slow and connective .
Props available for ease and comfort

The last few posts, Ive briefly explored two integral aspects of the body's physical systems . Though there is so much more to being human than the physical form alone.
Yoga has long recognised that alongside the physical body exists the more subtle energy body—a living network through which our life force flows, and while we can't see this energy, we can often experience it through our breath, vitality, intuition, emotions, and the quiet inner sense of feeling grounded and more connected to ourselves.
Through movement, breath, presence and awareness, the classes I offer at Shalom studio invite you to become curious about this subtle dimension of our being.
As we begin to listen and feel more deeply, we often discover that some of the greatest shifts occur in the places we cannot see.
Both Tuesday and Thursday classes are on this week at Shalom studio Ashby heights.
9.30-11am Enquires welcome

Our deep core connection ......

Think of your deep core as a supportive container inside your body. The breathing muscle at the top ( the diaphragm) acts as the lid, your deep abs (beneath the 6 pack muscle ) wrap around the middle like a corset, and your pelvic floor is the grounding base which supports our pelvic anatomy.

These muscles work as a team. When you move and breathe, they gently contract and relax together to protect your spine and support our internal organs, that being the bladder, re**um and womb for a woman
Though sometimes the team breaks down. They switch off, become weak or super tense. Imbalances begin.

It's easy to become disconnected from our body.

Thursday class is about getting back in touch with our pelvic space. We explore the deep, natural partnership between your pelvic floor and your core muscles and how it integrates with the rest of the moving body .
We learn to activate, tone and strengthen our body's supportive base without rigid tension or forceful pressure on our pelvic organs.
We practice the art of listening and feeling the body's responses.

This class offers a somatic approach to raising more awareness and connection to the health and vitality of the female pelvis.
Suitable for women of all ages....all very welcome 🙏

Yoga & The Nervous System

I feel one of the greatest gifts of yoga is its ability to support nourish and ground the nervous system.

Through slower, mindful movement, conscious breathing and moments of stillness, we gently invite the body to shift out of survival mode and into a place of rest, repair and restoration.

In a world that constantly asks us to be switched on, yoga offers a space to soften, slow down and reconnect with ourselves. Over time, this practice can help us feel more grounded, present and able to move through life with greater awareness and ease.

Sometimes the most powerful medicine isn't doing more… it's finding the balance of giving the body permission to simply be.

All women welcome to Tuesday morning yoga.

In the prior posts, I chatted about the lymphatics and the fascia, and how the asanas we practice in yoga can be nourishing medicine to these systems especially as we grow older.

The fascia and lymphatic system are in constant relationship with one another.
When our body does not move enough, lymph flow becomes sluggish, excess fluid, waste and inflammation can begin to settle within the tissues, which for some, may leave the fascia feeling thick, sticky, congested, which then restricts that feeling of freedom when in movement. .

These systems appreciate and need movement to be in harmony with each other and to support the other systems of the body, including the energetic system. ie meridians( nadis ), chakras

This is one of the reasons yoga can feel so nourishing .
Gentle movement, stretching, breath, twisting and toning all help support lymph flow while also hydrating and softening the fascia, creating more ease, circulation and spaciousness from the inside out.

It’s never too late to try yoga.
Classes are slow paced and gently guided, encouraging you to build a grounded relationship with your body and mind .
