Manual Lymphatic Drainage
* Very Relaxing Self-care Class *
Lymph travels through interconnecting pathways (vessels) throughout the whole body. Lymph nodes are like security checkpoints.
This is where waste e.g. toxins, bacteria, viruses, and diseased cells are separated from the healthy components; water, protein, immune cells.
The waste products are sent to the gut, kidneys, liver, and lungs to be expelled through bowel movements, urination, and breath.
The purified lymph fluid is received by the heart to be recirculated around the body.
Lymph nodes and vessels are doing their work with or without any input from us, circulating about 3-4 litres per day.
Our job with MLD is to stimulate the major nodes, ease congestion, and gently influence the fluid to flow smoothly for
filtering and drainage.
ISSUES MLD help to RESOLVE include:
* excess fluid beneath the eyes or the chin or other places in the body
* constant fatigue or tired-but-wired feelings
* heaviness or swelling in the legs and feet (lymph has no pump so gravity pulls it down)
* brain fog, difficulty focusing, forgetfulness
* bloating, pressure, or slow digestion
* tenderness around the major drainage nodes; neck, collarbones, armpits, or groin
* inflammation and swelling
* frequent sinus congestion, post nasal drip, ear fullness
* skin issues such as rashes, dull skin, hives, eczema, acne
* puffiness or bloating after eating
* hormonal swings
NB: For those limited in mobility:
These sessions can be done sitting in a chair,
although if you can lie down for five minutes at the end
it will be more deeply relaxing.
***
Support the lymph and HEALING will FLOW like a clean River of Health.

MEDITATION and ENERGY BOOST
(Class currently on hold))
Based on my book, Reclaim Your Vitality, these sessions consist of breath-work for various ailments including imbalance of the
Autonomous Nervous System, along with healing meditations to restore our mental and emotional wellbeing.
To energise mind and body for the rest of the day, we finish with an easy-to-do
physical sequence which is practised while seated.
Many physical issues, such as body tiredness and
stiffness or tension, are born through deeply buried stress and trauma that we are unaware of carrying.
This 30-minute class often includes the release of such burdens during our long lie-down meditations.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Stretch * Breathe * Relax
This class is driven by the Power and Control of the BREATH.
Breath is life... Life is breath,
and we cannot have one without the other.
Breathing
efficiently and effectively helps us to become the
healthiest version of ourselves that we could possibly be,
which is imperative to
living a happy life, energised and peaceful.
We breathe mindfully as we incorporate gentle yoga moves
to STRETCH in all directions.
In this way we rejuvenate the spine
and give TLC to the internal workings of the whole body.
This class finishes with Guided Visualisations for Healing.
~*~*~*~
Yoga Sculpt
(THERABANDS for SUPPORT are Optional)
We're never too old or too young to improve the way we look and feel. When we work on better muscle tone and body shape,
we become healthier in every way.
Yoga Sculpt classes are short and invigorating. Some of the exercises are a little challenging and will require persistence
and dedication to ramp up stamina.
Streamline the body into a better shape, but remember that your
true beauty begins deep within,
shining out through your smile and eyes.
~*~*~*~
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is simple, however that does not mean it is always easy.
Due to limited flexibility, some may find holding a few of the positions a little demanding at first, while others may have difficulty
finding the patience necessary to relax completely. With gentle guidance, both of these challenges can be overcome relatively easily.
Yin Yoga incorporates Pranayama Breath Control, distributing vital life force energy
throughout the whole body. As well as having a calming and energising effect, Pranayama is an excellent way to nourish all our cells
with oxygen and nutrients, and remove toxic debris
from the body. Yin Yoga is like needleless acupuncture, eliminating energy blocks from meridian pathways.
This meditative and relaxing class suits everyone. Age or lack of yoga experience is irrelevant.

Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga enhances well-being physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Physically and energetically,
muscles are strengthened and toned.
All the internal systems become balanced and harmonised.
Breathing deeply and smoothly into postures improves the circulatory system,
We ensure the distribution of an
optimal supply of oxygen to all our organs and cells.
Every cell needs oxygen to survive.
Long, slow exhalations improve
the functionality of the calming Vagal Nervous System.
This class also stimulates the lymphatic system, aiding detoxification.
My Hatha Yoga classes are suitable for beginners and those at intermediate level.
Variations are given for more gentle or more challenging
preferences.
For example, the above pose could be done lying on the floor on one's side, using a strap around the foot.
We Relax in Savasana at the end of each class.
Your neuromuscular system then integrates all you did during your physical practice.
In Savasana, we let go of any residual tensions, physical, mental or emotional.
~*~*~*~
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra induces complete physical, mental and
emotional relaxation.
Some do this practice regularly because it helps them get a better night's sleep,
others because they discover they can
handle life's troubles and frustrations more calmly.
However there is so much more to Yoga Nidra.
Lying in stillness and covered with a blanket, you will relax your whole body completely. You will then be guided into the Theta Brain Waves State.
The Theta state, also known as
the Hypnoyogic state, is the dividing line between
being asleep and awake. The brain wave cycles are gradually slowed down
so that the conscious mind
settles into complete rest.
When resting this deeply there is no judging, analysing, worrying, decision-making, etc.
This is a
perfect time
to plant the seed of your Sankalpa into your subconscious mind.
A Sankalpa is a positive intention to improve your life,
or perhaps achieve a goal.
In the Theta Brain Wave state, your mind is very powerful.
Your Deeper and Higher Self will assist to ensure your
resolution comes
to fruition.
Of course, you must do your bit consciously too as you continue with daily life, not just sit back to see what happens!
Know the path you want to take, and you
can become the Director of your Life.
For more information on the Benefits of Yoga Nidra and the Sankalpa - including how to choose your Sankalpa, please email your request
for an
excerpt from one of
my books,
'Stepping Stones to Meditation'.
~*~*~*~
FACE YOGA
*Class currently on hold
Face Yoga is a part of holistic health. If we feel vibrant and uplifted on the inside it will show on the face,
and the other way around is also true; if our face is uplifted and energised, we will feel it on the inside.
We tone the muscles of just about the whole body in our various yoga classes, but often neglect to tone the facial muscles.
Primarily, it is a healthy practice to tone and uplift our 43 facial muscles, with the resulting rejuvenated appearance being a wonderful bonus.
Good posture and effective breathing deepen and enhance the experience.
The benefits of Face Yoga include:
* a more defined jawline
* improved lymph drainage
* softened lines and wrinkles
* tension release from entire face
* reduced neck sagging and hollowness
* less puffiness and dark circles beneath eyes
* better blood circulation and nutrients to the skin
* toned muscles that the skin can cover more smoothly
Each class finishes with a Progressive Full Body Relaxation practice.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kundalini Yoga
NB: This class is off the schedule for the time being.
Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of self awareness and rejuvenation. Sequences are designed to remove toxins and awaken dormant energy as we
work through
the Chakras, our subtle energy centres. This practice provides a great opportunity to cleanse the lungs with Breath of Fire.
Dynamic movement combined with Breath of Fire releases endorphins, which are feel good hormones. Participants leave
the class feeling strong
and energised, and at the same time clear-headed and happy.
Socrates said, "If you would seek health, first look to the spine."
If we did not have calendars, our age would probably be measured by the health and flexibility of the spine.
Kundalini Yoga keeps the spine strong and flexible, ensuring that we carry ourselves in a youthful and confident manner.
NB: In my Kundalini Yoga class I invite everyone to go at their own pace.
For Kundalini Awakening, (advanced and intense) you need a qualified Kundalini Master.

More on Yin Yoga
My love of Yin Yoga came as a bit of a surprise to me as it looked like a lot of lying around doing nothing.I discovered it does indeed
involve a lot of doing not much at all, however after my first class I was hooked.
This is not to say others will love it quite so
readily; as a Meditation teacher I was already well-practised in the art of relaxation and mindful breathing.
Learning to relax deeply for anyone who is stressed or overly busy can take a little time and dedication. However the benefits
of Yin Yoga
do begin on Day One, even if they are too subtle to appreciate fully at the time.
As blockages in the energy channels dissolve,
you will feel lighter,
more energised and yet deeply relaxed. The breathing
techniques can make your practice serenely meditative.
In Yin Yoga, most postures are done at floor level and are held for several minutes. This is to give the muscles time to soften and
relax totally.
Our muscles (and organs) are contained in a network of connective tissue called fascia, which is similar to cling wrap.
However when muscles are tight,
fascia becomes more like shrink wrap.
Letting go into stillness in certain positions gives time for the fascia to
soften and rehydrate.
The muscles are then able to move more fluidly.
The muscles completely relax in Yin Yoga positions, and then other connective tissues, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage
begin to receive TLC.
As they soften into gentle traction, they become rehydrated and more flexible.
Synovial fluids will then flow more freely... becoming juicy.
You will notice more comfort and ease of movement in everyday life.
Hatha and Yin Yoga should not be seen as a one-or-the-other choice, rather they are complementary for each other.
While Yin Yoga allows time and space for synovial fluids to flow freely and rehydrate the joint mechanisms, a yang practice such as
Hatha Yoga strengthens and tones.
Muscle strength is necessary to support the joint flexibility we achieve through the more
passive practice of Yin Yoga.
