Hi everyone.
First things first, try this: take your hand off the mouse,
relax your neck muscles, shoulders and stomach,
feel your lungs breathing (with your mind),
and then slowly breathe in for a count of 8 seconds
then slowly breathe out for a count of 8 seconds.
Then relax, have a big sigh.
Ok, now we're ready!
Thanks to those who wrote in with responses
to the last newsletter - the more contributions
we make to each other, the more info we have to work with.
It's not about being right. In fact, on an energetic level,
all conversations and words are merely exchanges
between people, representing meanings and beliefs,
and ideas and bananas!

FREEDOM
The aim of Yoga - apart from having fun -
is traditionally directed towards Freedom.
The simple idea is that by learning to truly Let Go,
one can live a life of freedom,
unfettered by concern, doubt, fear, or restraint.
Over the years that I've taught and counselled people,
the common thread it seems to me
is that many people carry an internal struggle.
It's as though there was a time (possibly as a child)
that the human became very serious,
and that responsibility became a weight
upon their shoulders.
Almost like an assumed responsibility,
where the person felt a struggle,
and then carried the blame themselves.
This is not a state of freedom. It is an opposite.
Hardly anyone ever got told that they had to be perfect,
but many people are so hard on themselves,
especially when things in life get pressured.
So hopefully people,
by learning to free up their bodies
and their breath,
get an insight into what it means to let go,
not just of tension,
but of the massive weight of their Past.

5Hr Yoga Session, with plenty of time
to go deeper into the practice.
Anyone can do this class

Chakra work, stretching, lots of breath work.
A good way to start the month.

RECENT WORKSHOP:
KUNDALINI YOGA
This 2 Hr session was held a couple weeks ago
and was probably the best workshop I've given.
This was a focus on the Chakras,
and the specific poses, mantras,
and practices
for each.
A whirlwind class, in a way,
that was designed to balance and clear, energetically.
Given that it was so successful,
I'll be doing another on the 3rd Sunday:
15th June.
1pm-3.30pm.
This time we'll have an extra 30 mins
to add some space to the session.
Cost: $20
