A Women's Path to Health & Well-being.

An Ancient Path for Modern Women

Women's Business

"We have been taught to suppress our feminine nature.
Yet its restlessness stirs within us, ever stronger.
Our bodies and hearts follow the moons cycle.
Respond to the suns seasons.
Our emotions flow and change.
This is our true nature.
Let us form a circle.
Grow stronger.
Let us honour ourselves and the earth.
Let us practice together.
Let us learn from the past.
Let us move forward.
The knowledge is within us already.
Let us light its flame.
Strong women every one of us."

Julie Ivison

This is no ordinary flower.

This is Murnong a flower that grows at my place.

The roots of the plant were an important staple food for the people who lived here before me.

Ancient systems of health & well-being.

This Course is dedicated to all the indigenous peoples across the earth. May their wisdom never be forgotten.
Thank You

This is a practical course.

In the course I have focused on bringing in the nourishing feminine practices. Simple through to advanced yoga, including Hatha, Flow, Yin & Restorative Yoga, self- massage, crystal meditations, essential oils, the beautiful hand gestures, all interconnected with breathwork or maybe breath relaxation is a better word!

There are a couple of gentle cleansing days if you wish (guided students only) to practice in the middle of the course. You'll gradually start eating more natural foods and learn how to use herbs and spices to improve digestion and health.

This is the surface layer, the teaching meditations and yoga classes will encourage you to gradually move deeper and discover what gives you joy in life. The teachings are practical and inspiring, giving you the time, to really think and then make plans and all the time the physical practice is making you stronger and more flexible.

It is not an exaggeration to say you will be helping change the world by changing your life.

"The greatest gift you can offer your family and friends, is your happiness."

There is no test, you cannot fail. You will find out your individual dosha. You'll have a deep understanding of the word dosha and energy because understanding your dosha means you understand how to keep your health or energy in balance.  

By the end of the course you will know what classes, meditations, food, herbs, crystal etc. To use/practice to stay balanced or become healthier throughout your life. This will keep changing as you change.

You will develop more skills on nurturing yourself.

The course encourages you to study yourself. Your needs, love's. good & bad habits. Learn what you need to add to your life to feel fulfilled, content and calm and just as important what your need to let go of.

I recommend books to read as you progress but there is a lot of knowledge in the classes, my online book and my newsletters. Follow the links as you go.

There are 52 Weeks in the book. A simple learning calender to help keep you aware of the weeks and gradually draw you deeper into the heart of yoga.

Ayurveda recommends a vegetarian diet.

I encourage you to cook & eat more vegetarian food. These are family favourites and are my simple, tasty and nutritious recipes.

Take your time, you do not need to become a vegetarian or vegan overnight.

Like all of yoga, diet is about balance and time and how you feel.

In the first 2 months you will learn about the Earth Element, through yoga, meditation, herbs, essential oils, self-massage, crystals, lifestyle, food, yantra and more.

Recommended time at least 8 weeks

The earth provides you with strong foundations for everything you do in life.

EARTH

In the beginning I was organising a timetable and ‘doing’ the classes & meditations, I found that once I chose a class and repeated it rather than mixing them daily the connection came. Feet rooted in standing postures, body heavy and pulled into the earth in laying postures, tingling….
Has felt like I’m wrapped in a warm cosy blanket, slowed down a bit and calmer.
