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.

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”
