Megan Jones - Yoga Teacher	Leanne Beveridge - Yoga Teacher	Jessica Frost - Kinesiologist
When I first read that my life would never be the same after I started yoga, I knew I was on the right track. And my life has never been the same since reading that line in the Gita Handbook, Yoga for You, by Lucille Wood and Di Lucas, over 25 years ago. Yoga has seen me through life’s major vicissitudes for over a quarter of a century and so I’m not stopping now. I love sharing with people what have learned from my many years of studying and teaching yoga. I remember being intrigued from the time I started Beginner’s Yoga. Eventually after attending classes for nearly 10 years, I embarked on Gita International’s 900 hours Gold Diploma of Teaching Yoga to learn about the magic of yoga. The first thing I learned was that it wasn’t magic. It is scientifically established that Gita Yoga balances our endocrine glands, enhances oxygen levels in our bloodstream, supports our digestion, elimination and recreative systems, balances our mind and so much more on the more mysterious plane of life. Megan teaches Gita Hatha Yoga on Thursday nights at 6:00pm. Read More	Leanne is a Gita trained Hatha yoga teacher (over 900 hours of training) and yin yoga teacher who teaches a dynamic yin yoga class. Yin yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body (vs. the superficial tissues) and the fascia that covers the body; this yoga is to help regulate the flow of energy in the body. Yin Yoga postures are more passive postures, and is unique in that you are asked to relax in the posture, soften the muscle and move closer to the bone. Yin offers a much deeper access to the body. Postures are generally held for three to five minutes, trying to access the deeper tissues such as the connective tissue and fascia. This intimate practice of yoga requires students to be ready to get reacquainted with the self, with feelings, sensations, and emotions. Leanne teaches Yin Yoga on Monday nights at 6:30pm. Read More	Jessica Frost has practiced Reiki and Flower Essences for the past 25 years and Kinesiology for the past five, helping hundreds of clients cope with everyday stress, resolve personal issues, and re-tune their energy. She treats the underlying causes of a client’s issues, treating the person holistically. Jessica believes that understanding the root cause of a person’s issues is the first step in resolving them, and she uses her treatments to help clients achieve this and then move on with confidence. If you are otherwise well but finding it hard to cope with stress, pressure and life’s speed bumps, Jessica’s treatments could be just what you need to restore the balance in your life. Jessica’s qualifications: • Diploma of Kinesiology • Diploma of Remedial Massage • Reiki Levels I and II • Australian Bush Flower courses – level 1, 2 and 3, White Light Essences, Light Frequency Essences • Diplomas of Naturopathy, Medical Herbalism, Nutrition and Homoeopathy Jessica will be practicing Thursdays from 10-2pm You can make an appointment with Jessica on 0427 250 806 Read More
