Yoga, Meditation, Holistic Counselling.Yoga and Meditation
-are excellent ways to reduce the impact of stress, anxiety and depression;
improve performance, relationships, personal well-being, recovering after
emotional and physical hardship and or/injuries.

Gentle yoga class is suitable for all the age groups and
fitness levels. The classes are aimed at building strength and endurance for
muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons; improving flexibility in the stiff areas
and strengthening the weak parts of the body; stretching and toning muscles,
nerves, blood and lymphatic vessels; balancing hormonal levels, especially
stress-related.

Purna Yoga originates from Iyengar Yoga. Sharing the same
background and the attitude towards props and alignment, Purna Yoga takes on
board the practical experience and current knowledge of anatomy/physiology of
modern urban people. I love the gentle and mindful approach of the style.
Awesomely, the style somehow carries and transmits that subtle yet ever penetrating
atmosphere of Byron Bay.

Being a Biochemist I
used to have headaches after long hours in front of computers – the blessing
and the curse of modern scientists. Along with an unusual workout, yoga
exercises eliminated the headaches. I was fortunate to have good instructors
and yoga friends at the beginning of my journey. Through them I went to
workshops/retreats from different styles such as Yoga Synergy, Shadow Yoga, had
a touch with Yoga 23. During these four years in Canberra I mostly attended classes
with Yoga Mandir and I really liked sweaty Power Yoga; along with regular
classes I participated in their “40 Days of Personal Revolution” program.
