Healing New Moon Meditation with Kathryn (24 February)

PISCES NEW MOON HEALING MEDITATION & GONG BATH 

The new Moon is a magical time of beginnings, when you can recharge goals, or set new ones. It is a good time to begin a meditation and commit to a 40 day practice.

Group Meditation can help you to focus an intention with power and open the door to change. We’re always setting intentions, and this is a way to do it in a more conscious way.

Join Kathryn for a short Kundalini Kriya and then share in a healing circle and gong bath meditation to clear the blocks that are holding you back from fulfilling your true purpose.

All welcome – bring your friends, loved ones and family for a night of healing and transformation.

Full Moon Gong Meditation with Jaye (9 March)

Full exposure and illumination comes with the Full Moon. The plan bears fruit, blossoms, or culminates. A new perspective can emerge now. Information has now been revealed.

The Pisces/Virgo Full Moon calls on us to see both the differences and the similarities. While we may be drawn to classify and criticise, remember that everything is connected, even if we can’t immediately perceive it. This allows for a greater acceptance of self and others.

Come and allow the Gong to balance your energies beyond time and space.

How is Jivamukti Yoga different to other styles by Doug

Jivamukti Yoga [pronounced jee-vuh-mook-tee. The name means liberation while living and is taken from the Sanskrit term jivanmukti which is used to describe the state of enlightenment or God realisation. Jiva meaning individual soul and mukti meaning liberation. The method is named Jivamukti because the founders wanted students to be reminded of the ultimate aim of the practice.

I am often asked what Jivamukti Yoga is and how it is different from other yoga styles.

If your friend tells you of a great meal they had at a restaurant or café, no matter how sensational their descriptions are, it can’t put the taste in your mouth. Trying to describe a Jivamukti yoga class is the same. I can say it is about putting yourself in the seat, being responsible for your actions, believing in the happiness for all, consistency and breath. But would that do it justice? The only way to know for sure is to take a class…

Jivamukti Yoga is an experience that is different for each individual practitioner depending on what they are looking for. Or avoiding.

Jivamukti Yoga was developed in New York City by Sharon Gannon and David Life in 1984. Based on the tenants of Non-Harming, Meditation, Scripture Study, Sound Vibration and Devotion, all are incorporated in some way in each Jivamukti Yoga class along with a dynamic enough asana sequence to have you leaving class with damp clothes. The room is not heated, we chant together, breathe together and… having fun is allowed!

Come and take a Jivamukti Yoga class at KMYOGA:

Tuesdays 5:30pm – 6:30pm

Wednesdays 6:30pm – 7:45pm

Thursdays 5:30pm – 6:30pm

Sundays 5:30pm – 7pm

Bring your smiley faces!

Book a 1:1 session of Sat Nam Rasayan with Guru Devi – 4 March

The Healing Art of Sat Nam Rasayan

“Shuniya means zero.  The moment you become zero, then all powers will prevail through you” – Yogi Bhajan

What is Sat Nam Rasayan?

Sat Nam Rasayan means “deep relaxation in the true identity”.  It is an ancient meditation technique and healing art in the tradition of Kundalini Yoga.  When you enter a state of Sat Nam Rasayan you become nothing and simply operate from the state of shuniya.  The mind of the Sat Nam Rasayan practitioner becomes transcendent and in the vastness of this consciousness, healing can occur.

Traditionally this art was taught to heal others.  It helps to release tendencies and limitations in the body, mind and emotions (the common reasons for sickness).  The self healing powers of the body become activated and we are able to meet life in a more balanced and clear state.

Sat Nam Rasayan is free from dogmatism, religion and belief systems.

DATE: Sunday, 4 March

TIME:  1:45pm – 2:30pm or 2:45pm – 3:30pm

SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE FOR KMYOGA STUDENTS: $30 for a 45 minute 1:1 session.

Open to all ages including children and teenagers.
