"Yoga Nidra" is a technique often used in yoga classes to induce deep body-mind relaxation. However, this practice provides so much more than just relaxation. Its ultimate goal is to increase self-awareness, to eliminate old habitual patterns and potentially, experiencing states of higher consciousness.
In this workshop, we will spend time practising the techniques that uncover this deep relaxation and the state of ease in mind and body. We will study the philosophy behind Yoga Nidra and we will explore the sub-conscious mind that Yoga Nidra unveils.
Besides the techniques and practices shared during a yoga class, the science of yoga has an ancient history and a rich philosophy which can aid any person in their quest for a happy, peaceful, successful and purposeful life. This half-day workshop aims to expose students to the incredible depth and breadth of yoga and remind them how every day can be an opportunity to practice yoga "off the mat".
The path from being an emotional wreck to being an emotional master is one worth walking. Emotional mastery shifts us from a seemingly ceaseless roller coaster of up and downs to a blissful boat ride down the river of life. The emotionally skilled person is able to monitor, control and leverage their emotions for optimum clarity of mind and ease of heart.
Do you have back pain? Have you tried everything and nothing seems to work?
The aim of this practical 4 week program is to empower you with information about the spine and your condition. Then we will provide yoga therapy techniques to aid in the management of your issue. The workshop will include the anatomy of the spine, common back complaints and the reasons for these issues, accessible and effective yoga postures to mobilise and strengthen the spine, relaxation techniques to calm the body and mind, and remind the brain what it feels like to be pain free and provide practical ways to bring these methods into your daily life.
Restorative yoga is a slow and mindful practice, which usually involves the use of props such as bolsters, blocks, blankets, straps and walls, to aid the student in holding a pose for an extended period of time. Using props allows the student to feel “supported” and “safe”, and therefore, the unconscious and habitual muscle tension has a chance to be dissolved and released. This practice leads the yogi towards a more healing and recuperative experience, achieving a deep level of relaxation in body, breath and mind.
Ginny and Greg Clarke will be leading a full weekend of yogic practices to help us connect, awaken, find clarity of mind, peace of heart and depth of spirit.

Self-esteem is the outcome of doing and being ourself, hearing and following our instincts and intuition. The Self-esteemer is easeful in all situations and with all beings. They are quietly confident, self-assured, and not governed by family, culture or the past. They are also undeterred by error and are swift to admit and overcome incorrect behaviour and attitude. The self-esteemer is a true delight to be around, full of ease and grace, peace and power, present moment awareness and deep compassion.
In this workshop we will decipher some of the unreal from the real and give methods to establish new behaviours cultivating self-esteem and self-love.
