BEYOND THE WHITE CLOUDS

I am delighted to launch the next Mud Hut Yoga tour for 2025. It may seem like a long time away…but I’m sure it will be here before we know it. It’s wonderful to have an exciting adventure to dream about and look forward to.

In 2025 we will venture in to new territory: NEPAL and BHUTAN. Both of these beautiful and unique countries hold wonderful adventures in store for anyone who decides to join this very special tour.

We begin in Nepal in the fascinating city of Kathmandu, home to several world heritage sites. We will explore the history, culture and charm of the city and the Kathmandu valley.

From here we will take the majestic breathtakingly beautiful flight over the Himalayas to Bhutan. What to say about a country whose government is guided by a philosophy of Gross Domestic Happiness (GDH) - an index which is used to measure the collective happiness and well-being of the population? We’re hoping the rhododendrons will be flowering…but if not, the beauty of the scenery and the people will well and truly suffice. One main highlight of our Bhutan adventure with a small trek to Paro Taktsang - the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery. An extraordinary experience!

We return to Nepal before we head for home - either for a day or perhaps you may choose to extend your stay for a night or two with our tailored extension at an amazing resort. A chance to catch your breath and process our experiences.If you are looking for a life-changing, spiritually uplifting adventure this is it.

Throughout the journey I will weave the philosophies of yoga, asana (physical practice) and meditation to compliment the spiritual energy so palpable near the Himalayas. We really have a lot of fun, laughter and companionship on these tours. New and old friendships are made and fortified.

No more needs to be said….however, find more details by following the link below.

Feel free to call me on 0438 523 415 if you have any queries or would like to jump straight in and join me on this beautiful, hand-tailored trip.

SERIES: PEACE ~ FLEXIBILITY ~ STRENGTH
Jan
28
to Mar 29

SERIES: PEACE ~ FLEXIBILITY ~ STRENGTH

RECORDED SERIES: Previously the recorded series for the term has been delivered under the banner ‘Yoga Bites’

From Term 3, 2023 it has looked quite different.

First feature: ALL links to the recorded sessions will be delivered prior the start of Term via one email. Therefore, these recordings will be available for the full term.

Second feature: there will be a total of 10-12 recordings of various lengths from 60 minutes to 20 minutes. Each session will have a name and a description so you can choose what appeals to you most on the day. Each session can be watched as many times as you like over the whole TERM.

Third feature: because you have access to the recordings for the whole term you will be repeating some sessions - or all - possibly several times. With repetition comes the opportunity to dive a little deeper each time. As you become more familiar with a session the less you have to engage your ‘thinking brain’ and the more you can ‘feel’ into the poses and movement.

TO REGISTER: There are 2 ways to register

1) Go to the LOG IN page https://www.mudhutyoga.com.au/log-in > purchase the Peace ~ Flexibility ~ Strength Pass. That’s it :)

OR

2) Transfer payment of $110 by direct transfer to BSB:633 000 ACCOUNT NO:169 306 313 Email me or text me to let me know you have paid and wish to register.

NOTE: The series won’t appear on the TIMETABLE and there is no need to register anywhere else - I will see who has purchased passes and will add you to the email list.

MINDFULNESS BASED STRESS REDUCTION

MINDFULNESS BASED STRESS REDUCTION

Introduction to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction: 8-week program

An introduction to MBSR concepts will be offered in this 8-week program.

Sessions will run for 30-minutes commencing Tuesday 7th February

**THIS PROGRAM IS BEING OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE**

At its core, MBSR is based on systematic and intensive training in mindfulness meditation and ever-present awareness is the foundation for the development of positive health behaviours, psychological and mindful hatha yoga.

Embedded within the context of Mind-Body and Participatory Medicine, the MBSR curriculum focuses on the experiential cultivation of both “formal” and “informal” mindfulness practice as a means of familiarizing oneself with awareness itself (mindfulness). The recognition of an innate, emotional resilience, and an overarching sense of wellbeing that can be effectively cultivated and relied upon across the adult life span. (Ref: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Authorized Curriculum Guide © 2017)

Content will include a mindfulness meditation, gentle exploration, and discussion using current research

Research shows participant commitment to attending each session improves experiential learning and ever-present awareness

This course will be offered free of charge both online and in class to students enrolled in Term one Mud Hut yoga classes

MBSR Level One trained teacher- Marie Wycisk will be running these sessions with the potential of a future opportunity to run the full program of 2.5-hour weekly sessions across 9 weeks at full cost

“You can’t hold back the ocean, but you can learn to surf”

Jon Kabat-Zinn founder of MBSR

KICK START YOGA

kick start yoga.jpg

28 DAYS - 28 PRACTICES

KICK-START YOGA.

28 days. 28 practices.

7.00 am live* or at the time that suits you via the recorded session. This will be a short (20 minute) dynamic practice to KICK-START a regular yoga practice, build strength & flexibility, tone muscles and improve cardio fitness. Each session will target a specific area of the body: arms, legs, core, tummy, butt, cardio. And on the 7th day we will rest – with a restorative stretching practice. For 4 weeks straight. The recorded session will be available for 24 hours after the actual class so you can complete the class at a time that best suits you. For the price of daily coffee I think this is a winner!

Studies show that it can take between 3 – 8 months to really establish a new habit. However, the first 21-28 days are the hardest. So, ‘Kick Start Yoga’ will be there for the hard part of establishing a new healthy habit.

STARTS: Monday 11th October – every day for 4 weeks.

Can you find just 20 minutes for yourself each day?

GO ON - CHALLENGE YOURSELF

Bookings can be made via the TERM BOOKINGS tab or follow this link: www.mudhutyoga.com.au/term-bookings

This class series will go ahead pending viable numbers – so feel free to share the information with your family & friends. The more the merrier!

* Friday morning will be a recording only not a live session.

If you do not have an account already you will need to create an account in the ‘Log In’ page and purchase a pass for this series. Then go to the TIMETABLE > Term Bookings tab to register.
