Womantime has taken place once again in the cool introspective time of Winter in the mountains. Always such a joy to witness women learn to trust their bodies once again. The yoga that is shared is gentle therapeutic yoga, hence it is suitable for all. The pelvic floor “awareness” session is always well received, as we are encouraged to slow down and “wake up”, simple yet not always easy, the long Restorative Yoga sessions so very helpful in slowing down and checking in. sessions help to lead the way inward, a safe gentle progression that then allows my work to unfold effortlessly for the beautiful women that come along to Womantime. Thank you to all, and thank you to Jodie who helps me set up each session with such ease and grace, you are deeply appreciated 🙏❤️🙏

Wonderful Meditation Teacher training, full of gratitude to be co-facilitating this recent programme with Ian Gawler in the Yarra Valley, Victoria.

Many of us will have felt the benefit of meditation coming into our lives. Just had the delight along with the wonderful Melissa Borich of assisting train an exemplary group of people who now want to give back and teach others to meditate. A real pleasure to be amongst people with such altruistic motivation, who have a good background in their own meditation practice, and who bring other skills...
Next training will focus upon meditation and imagery - in November :) https://iangawler.com/meditation-teacher-training/

Love this! So very true!

AN Easter reflection... Who is your life partner?
Mom? Dad? Wife? Son? Husband? Daughter? Friends?
Not at all!! Your real-life partner is your body.
Once your body stops responding no one is with you.
You and your body stay together from birth till death. What you do to your body is your responsibility and that will come back to you. The more you care for your body, the more your body will care for you. What you eat, What you do for being fit, How you deal with stress, how much rest you give to it; will decide how your body is going to respond.
Remember, your body is the only permanent address where you live. Your body is your asset/liability, which no one else can share. Your body is your responsibility, because you are the real-life partner.
Be fit. Take care of yourself. Money comes and goes. Relatives and Friends are not permanent.
Remember no one can help your body other than you.
Pranayama - for Lungs
Meditation - for Mind
Yoga - for Body
Walking - for Heart
Good food - for Intestines
Good thoughts - for Soul
Good Karma - for World

Looking forward to assisting on the next Meditation Teacher Training programme with Ian Gawler, still places available if you are keen.

What a delight to have completed the review and upgrade of the Meditation Teacher's Training manual. This residential training runs from May 12 to 16. The manual is like a book - almost word-for-word guidance on how to present and 8 week Mindfulness-Based Stillness Meditation program, along the lines of my book "Blue Sky Mind"; with lots of supportive material.
If you are considering it, we still have places available and in my view, this is one of the very best things I have done or do...
I love teaching teachers :) Good for beginners and those seeking to deepen their teaching capabilities and capacities.
