You KNOW you need this!
Two hours, dedicated to YOU.
⌚ Time to check in with yourself
⌚ Time to open up your body
⌚ Time to unwind & deeply relax
YIN YOGA is different from other yoga styles.
I will show you how to mindfully bring your body into carefully supported positions, which we will hold for several minutes so you can slowly release tension and work into your deepest tissues.
This 2-hour workshop includes the theory behind Yin Yoga, self-inquiry and reflection, a curated Yin sequence, deeply restorative Yoga Nidra practice (yogic sleep) and mindfulness meditation.
Did I mention that you'll also receive an awesome workbook, designed by moi? 😊
The workshop is THIS SUNDAY - plan ahead, book your place now, and commit to showing up for yourself!
Everything is provided for you, simply bring yourself in snuggly, comfy clothes and your water bottle.

Sound like jibberish?
TRANSLATION:
"Honour your needs with a workshop on deeply restorative self care"
YIN YOGA = supported body positions held for several minutes so you can slowly stretch and expand down to your deepest tissues
YOGA NIDRA "yogic sleep" = bringing attention to parts of the body in a particular sequence to allow for deep relaxation
MEDITATION = techniques used to encourage the mind to maintain focus and awareness
Are you curious?
I endeavour to provide an inclusive, body-positive and mental health aware environment, empowering you with expression and agency, while you connect with your body/mind.

MOTIVATION TO MOVE ... .. "Urrrrrrrrrrrgh!" I hear you groan.🙄
What are the excuses flooding your mind right now?
❄️"It's too cold!"
👨‍🦳"I'm too old!"
👎"It's not easy!"
😫"I'm too busy!"
You KNOW you need to move your body.
You KNOW you want to stress less.
I don't need to nag you. And I don't want to!
But, I would like to help motivate you, so..... this is a picture of me in a propped version of Savasana, the final resting pose in EVERY yoga class that I teach.
Now, imagine yourself in this same pose, after spending some time being mindful of how you breathe, and being carefully guided through body movements that are tailored to suit your needs and ability. Imagine that you were able to make choices throughout our session together so you gained confidence in what your body and mind were capable of, and you were with a small group of people who also felt how you felt.
You, in Savasana.
Your body slowly relaxing...
Your mind lulled by my voice giving you permission to rest...
Ahh... Savasanaaaaa...
Learn more by visiting my website, and then come and visit little ol' me! I'm a local, sole-trader, middle-aged mumma who wants to give you experiences like these through practices in yoga.

Can you recognise the signs of mental health crisis? 🥺
Would you know what to say, what to do? 🥺
As a mum, a yoga teacher, a mentor and a member of our local community, I witness first-hand the emotional toll that is, unfortunately, all too common these days.
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER.

Take the training. Learn the ALGEE action plan.

Integrate these skills into your relationships, home life, workplace and wider community.
Show those in need that they matter, and you care.
You might save someone's life.
Or, your own.

Scared to move after an injury?
Bringing back mobility and building strength is an important step on your road to recovery after a strain, sprain, break, surgery or other physical trauma/injury.
But overcoming the fear to move again could be one of your biggest obstacles... 😕
If you have been encouraged by your doctor, specialist or therapist to include a movement practice in your recovery program, yoga could likely be very beneficial for you!
I teach slow and gentle forms of yoga, breathwork and mindfulness meditation techniques in a way that nurtures your mental health and honours your agency so you may build up your confidence as well as your physical ability.
Want to see how yoga could help you?
🧘 Mindful Movement - yoga with the support of a chair
🧘 Gentle/Novice - improve joint mobility
🧘 Slow Flow - build muscle strength, challenge balance
🧘 Yin & Meditation - restorative, deep tissue release
Sessions are held in the main dojo at Deshi-do Martial Arts Studio.

SURPRISE! I'm running it again! 🎉
Join me on Sunday 17th March to learn the origins of yoga, the different forms and their yogic paths, and how Hatha Yoga, in particular, has been altered by modern society.
Created and curated for yoga novices - JUST LIKE YOU - who are curious, but have no idea where to start!
This 2-hour workshop is designed to gently step you through the fundamentals of yoga, as expressed through sage Patanjali's "Yoga Sutra" as the Eight Limbs of Yoga.
The program will include:
❤️ grounding, and intention setting
❤️ theory with accompanying workbook
❤️ reflection and discussion (optional)
❤️ somatic release "brain break"
❤️ foundational asana instruction
❤️ gentle flow routine using props

Introducing the theme for in-studio classes this week:
Sutra 2.46: Sthiram Sukham Asanam
"Effort and Ease in Postures"
We will explore how to express these dual qualities in each pose, gaining greater understanding of our abilities, limitations, alignment, focus, and determination - let's do this!

I'm a day late with posting this week.
It's taking me some time to get my sh*t together, especially while feeling as though I'm pulled in many different directions.
I'm sure you can relate!
But, no matter how cruddy I feel, I am a rainbow unicorn after I lead or attend a yoga class - and I'd like you to feel the same way too!
This week we will explore the concept of "control", especially trying to release this word of positive or negative connotation.
And, of course, there will be some lovely core-heavy postures and use of the 3 main bandhas to help us discover control from within.

This is the pile of tree debris that took out my veggie patch last week - it almost fills my back yard! (Big shout out to the SES crew.)
I was lucky. My youngest was unwell, so she was home from school, and my other daughter had just walked in the door when that insane storm hit.
So many people were caught out, though. The destruction was unbelievable. And the days of clean up, waiting for power, waiting for internet connection, throwing away spoiled food and dealing with the trauma of such a violent storm... The effects linger.
I wish to offer you yoga sessions this week where we will tread softly, move gently and take the time to soothe jangled nerves and pent up tension. Please join me! I'll offer you ways to connect with your self and your needs, and hold space while you do so.

Our yogic theme will be APARIGRAHA (non-grasping), and we'll be facilitating this with hip opening STRADDLE SEQUENCES across all classes, all week.
So much physical and emotional tension is stored in our hips, and we desperately try to counter this in our daily lives in many ways, attempting to ease the heaviness and pressure however we may.
I offer you the opportunity to carefully open up the hip girdle and release what you're storing by taking you through appropriate and adaptable breathwork practices, asana (pose) sequences, and by holding meditative space - with care and compassion - for you.

"WHAT IS YOGA?" WORKSHOP
Sunday 18th February 3-5pm
The first of my NEW workshop series this year is kicking off in under two weeks!
Held on the third Sunday of every month in the Yoga Room at Deshi-Do Martial Arts Centre, these two-hour workshops are intended to take you beyond a yoga class structure and deeply discover the different aspects of yoga, from history to philosophy, daily living habits and behaviours to the purpose behind yoga class structure and the (sometimes unintended) outcomes of asana practice.
February AND March workshops will follow the same format and shall focus upon understanding WHAT YOGA IS, the major forms, and why people are drawn to the practices.
You will have the opportunity to experience foundational breathing techniques, learn the base asanas from which all the fancy ones have evolved, and have a taste of guided relaxation and meditation.
These first two months of workshops are only $40pp.
Are you keen? Click the popup on my website to register now. Be one of the 12 people to attend... 👇

🧘‍♀️🧘 YOGA THIS WEEK 🧘🧘‍♀️
Where did January go?! With the kids back at school this week, give yourself an hour to move and breathe with me.
The unifying theme across all sessions will be
TWISTS & TURNS
Fantastic for spinal health, creating mobility through the joints and aiding the digestive system, twisting asanas add a layer of depth to common poses.
🔷🔹🔷
Pranayama (breathwork) practices this week will include Sama Vrtti ("Equal/Same" "Fluctuation") with and without Kumbhaka ("Breath Holds"). When these breath holds are the same length as the inhale and exhale, it becomes known as "Box", "Square", or "Seasonal" breathing.
This form of breathwork allows the practitioner to become aware of tensions, blockages and fears around the movement of the breath, and once a comfortable cadence is established, the mind moves with the breath in synchronicity. The results feel amazing!
🔷🔹🔷
FRIDAY EVENING MINDFUL MOVEMENT
Can't make a morning yoga session?
Come to class at 6:30pm on Friday evenings!
What a wonderful way to shake off work or school (or your partner, or your kids!) and help you switch into "weekend mode".

22/01/2024

🧘‍♀️🧘 YOGA THIS WEEK 🧘🧘‍♀️
Rather than talk you through each yoga sequence for my Gentle/Novice, Slow Flow, and Yin & Meditation classes, this week I'd like to highlight the unifying theme across all sessions:
ATTENTION to moving with INTENTION
Integral to maintaining your own safety throughout a movement practice, being intentional with how you execute a pose is also a challenge for the ego!
Paying attention to this gives us awareness of how we fluctuate within our spectrum of existence, with Performance at one end of this spectrum, and Pure Authenticity at the other.
Let's explore this concept with curiosity, noticing moments when we may be pushing too far, and others when fluidity and grace seem effortless.

BALANCE POSES
(Gentle/Novice & Mindful Movement classes)

Balance is critical to maintain. We all know the ramifications of muscle loss (sarcopenia) and the risks of falling. Strength training is key - pushing and pulling against weight that is greater than what you're used to - and your own body weight can be just that! We will test out several core and balancing poses, using our bodies, the floor, and the wall to get us into position so we can explore sensation and mobility safely.

🔷🔹🔷

CORE FLEX & STRENGTH
(Slow Flow - Intermediate Level)

A decent warm up and reminder to engage lower body bandhas will assist you in this class of mini-flow upon mini-flow. Moving with intention and control will not only have you get the most out of this core-strengthening sequence, but will have you celebrating your wins with balance, too!

🔷🔹🔷

WALL SUPPORT
(Yin & Meditation classes)

Are you in need of a little support? Sometimes, we need to turn to strength and solidarity from outside sources to hold us up so we are allowed time to explore our inner selves. So, for this sequence, the wall will be our prop. See what a difference it's unyielding surface will make to your practice!

🧘‍♀️🧘 YOGA IS BACK!! 🧘🧘‍♀️
IT'S ALL IN THE HIPS
How flexible have you been over the summer holiday break? Emotional tension and the stress of running around like a headless chook in the lead up to Christams, going back to work, or setting kids up for the new school year will have built up in your body if you haven't had the chance to intentionally clear it out.
So, this week, we will be working on those hips. Yes, for EVERY yang-style class - Gentle/Novice, Slow Flow AND Mindful Movement!
The hip girdle is not only a major load-bearing part of the body. This area is also prone to deferred pain, sciatica, postural misalignment and pent up emotion. Let's open up with care.
🔷🔹🔷
RELEASE RESISTANCE
Are you resisting having to implement your usual routines? Perhaps you're feeling the build up of tension in your body and your mind, but you're not ready for an active yoga class?
The Yin & Meditation sequence I have planned for this week will allow you to open your hips sloooooooowly as we hold each pose for several minutes in stillness. Feel yourself gradually relax into position, with props to keep you in alignment and supported according to your particular needs.
This hip sequence is interspersed with spinal twists so that you can feel the effects along the whole length of the spine, releasing tension and resistance along the way.

If you're curious about who I am, what my body movements and flexibility looks like, my mannerisms, and how I can be a little silly and poke fun at myself, then check out this blooper vid I put together recently! . During Covid times there was a Handstand Challenge floating around on several social media channels, and if you scroll back through my biz page Tania Alexander Yoga, you can find my carefully curated version, after many - and I mean many - takes. . This is how most people post video on their socials. And I was sucked into doing the same, at the time. . Recently, my "memories" brought my original video to my attention, so I decided to re-shoot it and do a blooper mash-up to better reflect that we are all so imperfectly imperfect: 🔹everyone makes mistakes 🔹everyone gets frustrated with themselves, and 🔹everyone can reach their goals if they keep trying . I hope you get a giggle out of my antics! 🤣 . . . #TaniaAlexanderYoga #HandstandChallenge #BlooperVideo #JustPokingFunAtMyself #YogaMelbourne #YinYogaAustralia #NotYourAverageYogaTeacher #YogaClassesMeantForYou #YogaMum #MiddleAgedYogi #LoveMyJob

Anzac Day Eve ceremony last night at the MCG. A touching, communal show of reverence and respect. Lest we forget. 🙏

Do you live with wonder, awe and curiosity? . Imagine yourself in my nephew's shoes. Pause and take the time to return to the childlike you, the part of you who can be in this moment of experience. . What does it feel like? . When we are so immersed in what we think it means to be an adult, we can quickly forget about the child inside each one of us, and the qualities of innocence, exploration, and pure joy. . Thank you dear nephew, for reminding me, and making our time together so precious. ❤️ (Posted with parental consent)

Feeling grateful that Monash has so many pockets of natural reserve to explore. I had an hour of time that could have easily been filled with DOING, but what I really needed to feel was my BEING. When will you grab some snippets of time to literally stop and smell the roses? Or daisies? Or eucalypts?

When we doubt ourselves, we limit our potential. 🫶 Caveat your "I can't" with an "I can't - YET!" 🫶 . Perseverance (and, in my case, stubbornness) helps keep you on track towards your goals. . Check out my chonky, middle-aged butt giving the Tiktok Handstand Challenge a go! Not exactly elegant, and the intensity on my face is a little alarming, but I'm owning it! . Now, to be clear: my yoga classes do NOT include intense inversions like handstands, headstands or shoulder stands. This is just me poking fun at myself, (and a little surprised I didn't land on my scone!) . Instead, I will show you how to control your breath, move your body safely according to your build, ability and experience, and guide you through stress-busting mindfulness and meditation techniques. But sure, we'll work on upper body strength, too! . ⭐️ General/Novice ⭐️ Slow Flow ⭐️ Yin & Meditation For more info, and to book a class, visit: 👉 www.tayoga.com.au #yoga #notyouraverageyogateacher #middleagedyogi #yogamum #slowflowyoga #yinyoga #lovemyjob #healthylifestyle #selfcarematters #tiktokhandstandchallenge
