✨ We Wish You Fullness of Shakti this Christmas and New Year ✨

14 December 2023

We’re reaching the end of another fabulous year at Yogareal…

It’s been a year since the new teachers Jack and Jarrah – the J Bros – started teaching at Yogareal.  Everyone loves them, their teaching styles and what they bring to the studio.

And Jarrah has brought the wonderful world of Soundbaths to the Studio which has enabled us to teach Nad Yoga – Yoga of Sound – which is very beneficial for healing.
The Retreat was also a wonderful, social, relaxing, informative and restorative time for everyone.

This year we have also initiated new teachings and practices of Yoga which are extremely beneficial for everyone at this time for the world we’re living in now, which has its predominant inherent challenges.Shakti is the Universal Energy which is in everything and the foundation of everything.  The whole process of yoga taught and explained properly, activates that Shakti, and brings awareness of that Shakti, and allows that Shakti to flow with more vitality and symmetry.  Then one feels uplifted and experiences the underlying Oness with one’s Self and Life.

To experience the fullness of Shakti, it helps tremendously if people can feel in themselves the different energies and breathe more fully to stabilise and activate these energies.  This is quite simple and easy to do, but it is the essentiality of a fuller picture of postures, breathing and consciousness.

We’ve been explaining this very simply in class so people can charge themself so they retain that upliftedness, light-heartedness, and groundedness.

Many thanks to Angelique for for her ongoing classes which everyone loves, and for always giving such whole-hearted support wherever it’s needed at the studio.

And many thanks also to Richard, Johnny and all the regular students for your ongoing commitment and support also.

The foundation of Yoga and harmony is Satsang – in the Company of Oneness, Unity Consciousness and Self.  This comes about through regularity and commitment to One’s Self and the Holistic Process of Yoga.  This is very much the principles and energy that Yogareal / Svarupa Yoga emanates and provides.

Once again Wishing You Fullness of Shakti and a wonderful, balanced, loving and harmonious Christmas and New Year for yourselves and your loved ones.

LoveRob and Theresa

Om Namah Shivaya Om Shakti

Such a Fabulous Retreat!

3 November 2023

It was so wonderful to have a full room of committed uplifted people join us for the Svarupa Yoga Retreat last Sunday.  Such a great day for everyone to come together, share the teachings and each others company.  Thanks very much to our committed team and especially thanks to Hugh and Elisha for coming all the way down from Currumbin Valley QLD and all working tirelessly and joyfully together to help us make it the best day possible for everyone.

We’d like to share this beautiful message of thanks we received:

“Thank you Rob and Theresa for the yoga retreat last Sunday. It was such a wonderful day. Everyone loved the experience, the knowledge and the community. Our lunch was delicious too. My kind of food! We are all very grateful for your hard work this kind of event takes. We are so lucky to be part of your community. So special! Thankyou Yvonne”

The format of the Yoga Retreat is the ideal way to learn, understand and imbibe the principles and practices of yoga in a holistic realistic way and have a great time doing it with your yoga friends.

We look forward to the next one.

If anyone else would like to share their experience of the retreat, to inspire others to join us in future, we’d love to hear from you.

Thanks again everyone.

Om Namah Shivaya Om Shakti

Svarupa Yoga Retreat at Yogareal Sunday 29 October 2023 9:30am – 5pm

5 September 2023

Svarupa Yoga Retreat
at Yogareal
Sunday 29 October 2023
9:30am – 5pm

Hi Everyone

Once again the amazing Sound Bath was booked out and everyone was buzzing – during and after!!!  So wonderful to have Jarrah and Dan melting away the tensions with their transcendent sound vibrations. Such a wonderful afternoon, and everyone felt the uplifting effects for days after. We look forward to the next Sound Bath at the start of 2024.

To continue and expand the journey for everyone….

By popular demand, we’re having a One Day Yoga Retreat at Yogareal in Albert Park on Sunday 29 October 2023.

The Svarupa Yoga Retreat

SVARUPA – ONE’S ESSENTIAL FREE NATURE

The one day retreat will be covering the essential components of yoga for each individual to allow themselves to come from the point of Svarupa in their day to day lives, which is their essential, free, light-hearted, open-hearted, life-force coming through.

For each person to develop this ability in themselves is to release the internal ingrained holding patterns that oppose and restrict a person from experiencing their own inherent Svarupa.

We’ll be exploring and experiencing the following:

  • Specifically outlining the Prana Vayus. How they energise and activate everything in oneself in terms of one’s perceptions, thoughts and actions. If these Vayus are dormant or sluggish in any way, a person’s wellbeing and how they feel about themselves and life will be undermined. Through identifying these Vayus and working with them we’ll be activating them.
  • Physical Asana Practice – specific asanas for awakening the Vayus.
  • Unique use of unique props for unique people to assist in releasing tensions and restrictions
  • Videos that will assist to activate and energise these areas
  • Wholesome Vegetarian Lunch
  • Uplifted company

Come to the Retreat and have a fabulous, unique and transformative time.

Raja Yoga and International Yoga Dayat Yogareal 

16 June 2023

Raja Yoga and International Yoga Day
at Yogareal 

International Yoga Day is on this coming Wednesday 21st June 2023.

These beautiful fantail pigeons are continually opening their heart, breathing, feeling and extending the front of the body and getting the breath to go up into the chest and into the head. Very expressive and extremely enchanting and exquisite to watch.

This straight away reminded us of the Raja Kapotasana (King Pigeon Pose) postures which require these qualities to come through and the energy to rise to the crown centre which is Sahasrar or Thousand Petal Lotus.

By breathing feeling, extending, and lifting out a person transforms their state from thinking or duality, to the state of unity consciousness or yoga – higher mind, breathing and feeling, ongoing awareness.  This feeling extends internally and externally.

We’ve been practicing the Raja Kapotasana postures since King’s Birthday. Classical Yoga is wanting everyone to transform hatha yoga or postures into Raja Yoga or Regal/Royal Yoga, which is the whole of the eight-fold path of classical yoga.  This happens when the breath moves up to the crown centre and a person experiences unified awareness.  Then the experience of ongoing meditation and yoga are there for everyone ongoing in their life.

To celebrate International Yoga Day, come to class at Yogareal as often as you can this week and ongoing to experience this for yourself.

Love

Rob & Theresa and the Yogareal Team
