The Therapeutic Space. ✨
There are so many stories in this room. It’s not just a space for group class but a place that holds the individual who comes seeking inner balance and re-connection through the tools that yoga offers.

This is the yoga therapy space.
Individualized practice….seeker and teacher…moving… breathing…chanting…laughing…wondering…sometimes simply listening. 🧘‍♀️

The journey to personal reintegration has many paths. Sometimes it needs a solo approach.
A space to practice or guidance for home practice.
All is possible. 🪷

I’m constantly in admiration of my clients who come seeking personalised practice. There is a desire for personal empowerment when we take the solo over the group path. It involves a deeper knowing or desire for change.

Sometimes it’s convenience, sometimes necessity. The outcome is liberating.

Yoga Therapy isn’t Yoga as you know it: nothing is prescriptive or done a set way. There is simply the understanding of what the person in front of me needs - at that time.
It is an approach that offers support, direction and hope for so many things that this bodily form encounters and its various needs.

Physical - Energetic - Emotional - Personality Patterns - Mental Impressions.
Stepping out of suffering.
Healing through self motivation and action. ⭐️

Vedic Meditation is a profound yet simple practice that brings calm, clarity, and inspiration into daily life. Rooted in ancient tradition and supported by modern science, it is one of the most researched meditation techniques in the world

It shows powerful effects on reducing stress, improving sleep and relationships and enhancing ones's overall wellbeing.

The technique uses the repetition of a personal mantra based on your date of birth - no concentration or control of thoughts is required.

An intro session explaining Vedic Meditation will be held this Sunday at 4pm and will also be recorded to view later. This is your gateway to learning more about the technique and deciding if it is right for you.

The Zoom session is free.
Following sessions to learn the technique will be held on November 15 & 22.
Please email jill@kyoyoga.com.au to receive the Zoom link or recording. 🙏

It was so wonderful to be invited to teach a workshop on Yoga for Osteoporosis for an eager group at Samana Yoga in Queenscliff yesterday. Thank you Kirsteen!

The ageing body faces many challenges that we can’t ignore.

Yoga as a practice is about reducing suffering, not creating it so learning ways of moving and modifying to best support the body is vital.

Yoga can be beneficial if you have Osteopenia or Osteoporosis but learning how to move relative to your own bone density needs means you don’t increase the risk of fracture and hopefully begin to repair the bone loss - along with other treatments. 🦴

Some key points -

☀️ Opt for practices that stay and hold poses over constant movement. Building strength via our own body weight is essential.

✨ Remove strong flexion and extension postures in favour of more moderate ones.

🕉️ Learn to move in and out of forward bends without rounding the spine. Using wide arms instead of forward movement.

💫 Let go of deep twists particularly standing ones.

☀️ Learn to fully integrate conscious breath into your practice so that the torso can hold itself well and abdominal muscles are strong to support movement.

And there was so much more…🌈

If you are interested in learning more about bone health and how it applies to your yoga practice get in touch. ☺️

Graduating as a yoga teacher after 500 hours of training is a huge achievement. ⭐️
It’s got less to do with what the body can do, more about what the mind can hold.

It is a journey that holds up a mirror to each student. Sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes revelationary and always inspiring! 🌼

A process of learning, reflecting, acting and being open to the change that arises!

Yoga is about relationship.

Here - a relationship between student and teacher, leading to a deeper understanding of the yoga teachings.

I feel so grateful to have guided this beautiful group through the self discovery that will hold them on their life journey. ☀️

If you are interested in experiencing this life changing process, get in touch.
New 500 hour intake January 2026. 🕉️
