Vedic Yoga

“Vedic Yoga is in many ways very different from modern Yoga. It is not a matter of a special asana style or a magical sequence.

A community in the heart of Elsternwick offering Vedic Meditation courses, Abhyanga Massage, Yoga and community events that bring people together to learn and grow in love. It is not centered on a special technique or powerful methodology. Vedic Yoga contains many mantras but cannot be reduced to one set mantric formula. The Vedic Yoga is vast and many-sided. It requires adaptation at an individual level, and cannot be made into an en masse formula. It contains all aspects of Yoga from lifestyle to devotion and deeper meditation. We can approach it both at a philosophical level and through practices, and it can greatly enrich all that we do. Vedic Yoga rests upon reconnecting to the Divine and the sacred presence that permeates and energises all things. It returns us to the universal life, its deeper rhythms and transformational processes.” - David Frawley

The reviews are in and Vedic meditation is a winner! 🙌🏻🎊 this incredible practice affords us the opportunity to know ourselves more deeply. It builds a relationship that supports us touching on an aspect of ourselves that is unchanging, infinite and full of creative potential. The Yogic scriptures call this the Self or Atman, a wakefulness that exists beyond the movements of our mind.

As we journey inwards to seek this greater Self, which is our very essence, we also encounter parts of us that seem uncomfortable, irritating and a hinderance to our practice. This is in fact one of the great gifts of meditation, the ability the fully engage with, reconcile and resolve parts of our mind body that we have been ignoring, suppressing or running away from. Meditation teaches us how to move through these sticking points, which is a valuable skill that translates into everyday life.

Most of us enter into meditation with the somewhat misguided notion that a successful practice looks like infinite bliss, peace and a completely empty mind and if our relationship with the inner world becomes troublesome, boring or too close for comfort we become frustrated. Like any intimate relationship we cultivate in the external meditation requires patience, commitment, compassion and a deep reverence for the process as it unfolds for us.

Our encounters in meditation, much like in life can be wondrous, baffling, scary and revelatory, they all come with a particular flavour that delivers us the wisdom we need. Like any good relationship meditation changes over time and it is a practice best undertaken with love and support. Know thy Self and awaken to the infinite potentiality of life around you.

This is more than a teacher training. It’s a journey into the heart of yoga—where practice becomes presence, and posture becomes prayer.
Rooted in classical Haṭha and nondual Ta**ra, this training weaves sādhana, inquiry, and transmission into a living path of transformation.

Join us as we dive deeply into the treasure trove of yoga:

Bhakti. Jñāna. Karma. Rāja.
Breath. Mantra. Meditation.
Darśana. Discernment. Devotion.

We don’t train performers.
We don’t make cookie-cutter yoga teachers.
We cultivate real practitioners who embody love, wisdom, and the courage to serve.

In-person & online options
Starts Feb 13, 2026 | Every second weekend
Limited spaces.

🌕 Sponsor Navaratri Pūjā & Sādhana

As Navaratri approaches, we prepare to honor the Divine Mother through nightly pūjā and sādhana. This is a time of profound inward turning—a chance to align with Her power, wisdom, and grace.

Offering dakṣiṇā, a monetary donation, is a time-honored way to participate in this sacred cycle. In the Vedic tradition, dakṣiṇā expresses reverence, gratitude, and commitment to the spiritual path. Your contribution nourishes the ritual, honors the lineage, and deepens the connection between the giver, the practice, and the Divine.

Each sponsorship helps support the pūjā offerings and the time and presence dedicated to this devotional work. Your name and sankalpa will be included in the nightly prayers, and you will receive consecrated prasād as a blessing at the conclusion of Navaratri.

To offer with devotion is itself a sādhana—an act of humility and love that brings powerful blessings both seen and unseen.

In this way, your gift becomes part of the sādhana—fueling the fire of devotion that burns for the benefit of all beings.

🪔 $45 per night
🪔 $306 for all 9 nights

You are warmly invited to participate in a rare and potent window of inner transformation—Ashadha Gupt Navaratri, taking place at Sukha Ashram in collaboration with Nataraj Chaitanya from June 26 to July 5, 2025.

According to the Devi Bhagavatam, Navaratri occurs four times a year. While the spring and autumn Navaratris honor the well-known nine forms of Goddess Durga, or Kali, Lakshmi, and Saraswati, Gupt Navratri is a more esoteric and spiritually charged period, reserved for deeper practices and secret rites. The word Gupta means “hidden,” reflecting its emphasis on inward transformation and esoteric practice.

During this time, we will engage in Narayani Abhishekam Puja, Ta***ic Sādhana, and contemplation of the ten Mahāvidyās—Kālī, Tārā, Tripura Sundarī, Bhuvaneśvarī, Chhinnamastā, Bhairavī, Dhūmāvatī, Bagalāmukhī, Mātangī, and Kamalā Devī. Their worship is during this time considered highly meritorious and brings swift results.

Together, we will:
    •    Invoke the Goddess through ritual and mantra
    •    Read and reflect on sacred texts from the ta***ic tradition.
    •    Meditate, chant, and immerse ourselves in devotional practice
    •    Engage in secret and sacred sādhana for spiritual accomplishment and inner awakening

Where: Sukha Ashram, 51 Clarence Street, Elsternwick

When: 6pm - 8pm June 27th - July 5th. First night Thursday June 26th beginning at 5pm

Dear Beloved Community,

Tonight you are warmly invited to a sacred evening of Narayani Puja with Brahman, followed by heart-opening Kirtan with our friend and guest Nataraj Chaitanya.

The Narayani Abishekam is a deeply devotional and auspicious puja where we bathe the goddess in sacred oblations, chant powerful mantra and lovingly make offerings to Divine Mother. This ancient ritual invokes the Goddess in her most potent and benevolent form, aligning our inner being with the supreme Śakti. It is said to fulfill heartfelt wishes, purify the mind, awaken deep devotion, and bring blessings of beauty, harmony, abundance, and spiritual liberation.

We will follow the puja with Kirtan, the ecstatic singing of mantras — a practice that softens the heart, silences the mind, and draws us into direct communion with the divine.

🪷 Date: 20th June 2025
🪷 Time: 6pm
🪷 Location: Sukha Ashram
🪷 What to bring: Offerings for the altar (flowers, fruit, incense) are welcome.
🪷 Contribution: Give what you can, Suggested Donation of:
Narayani Plus: $30
Narayani Self: $20
Narayani Subsidised: $10

Whether you’re a seasoned devotee or simply curious, you are welcome. Come as you are. Let’s gather in beauty and reverence, and offer our hearts fully to the Divine Mother.

With love and devotion,
Krissy, Jaydie, Brahman & Nataraj

One of our intentions on retreat was to immerse ourselves in the rich culture of Japan 🇯🇵 with the support of my brother and his beautiful wife (who have both been living in Japan for several years) we had the absolute pleasure of sharing in unique and inspiring experiences that felt authentic and steeped in tradition. These experiences were truly special and I am so grateful for the love and care all of the facilitators brought to their craft.

🧘‍♂️ 5 Friends of Meditation 🧘‍♀️

Meditation delivers the direct experience of what every spiritual tradition teaches—Know Thy Self. This journey through the intricate layers of our being, from gross to subtle, brings us into relationship with the full spectrum of human experience. Here are 5 powerful friends to support this whacky journey we call meditation:

✨ 1. Satsang - Spiritual Community

“By the company of the wise, ignorance is destroyed.”
— Mundaka Upanishad 1.2.12
➝ Keeping the company of Truth uplifts, inspires, contextualizes, and validates the meditative experience.

✨ 2. Bhakti - Devotion

“With love and surrender, the mind naturally rests in its nature.”
— Bhagavad Gita 9.22
➝ Devotion is to prioritize and uphold one’s highest value, which naturally dissolves restlessness and deepens resolve.

✨ 3. Viveka - Discernment

“The seer must distinguish the eternal from the non-eternal.”
— Vivekachudamani, Verse 20
➝ The recognition of our true nature, alongside the embracing of our humanity, creates the spaciousness and acceptance needed for meditation. There is no hierarchy.

✨ 4. Titikṣā - Forbearance

“The endurance of all sorrows and hardships without seeking revenge, without reacting, and without anxiety or lamentation.”
— Vivekachudamani, Verse 25
➝ Forbearance is the wisdom that whatever arises within us is asking to be felt so it can be liberated. We can either project our inner turmoil onto life’s circumstances or observe it with love, compassion, and reverence, allowing it to dissolve.

✨ 5. Ātma-Vichāra (Self-Inquiry)

“Who am I? That alone is meditation.”
— Ramana Maharshi, Upadesa Saram
➝ Quietude and subtlety expand awareness, naturally leading to Self-discovery. This process draws the mind inward to its source—pure awareness.

🌿 One can engage with these friends consciously and intentionally and as meditation deepens, these five qualities emerge naturally. May these friends guide you on your path. Save for inspiration & share with a friend 🔗
