"Sun says, 'be your own illumination.' /
Wren says 'sing your heart out all day long.' /
Stream says, 'do not stop for any obstacle.' /
Oak says, 'when the wind blows, bend easily, and trust your roots to hold.' /
Stars say, 'what you see is one small slice of a single, modest galaxy. Remember that vastness cannot be grasped by the mind' /
Ant says, 'small does not mean powerless.' /
Silence says nothing. /
In the quiet everything comes clear. /
I say, 'limitless' /
I say, 'yes.'

"We give thanks for the blessing of winter:
Season to cherish the heart.
To make warmth and quiet for the heart.
To make soups and broths for the heart.

To cook for the heart and read for the heart.
To curl up softly and nestle with the heart.
To sleep deeply and gently at one with the heart.

To dream with the heart.
To spend time with the heart.
We give thanks for the blessing of winter:
Season to cherish the heart."

Poem by Michael Leunig - 'The Prayer Tree'

To allow some time for rest and processing Melbourne's current lockdown, I'll be taking a little break from teaching classes this weekend.
For anyone who is interested, I'll be offering a Yoga Nidra session free of charge, this coming Monday 31/5 at 7:30pm, via Zoom.
Yoga Nidra is a supportive rest practice with many benefits including relieving stress and muscular tension, deepening sensory and somatic awareness, and restoring balance to the nervous system.
If you would like to join this practice, just contact me here or via: [email protected]
All online classes will resume as normal from the first weekend in June.

~~ MAKING SPACE FOR REST ~~
Join Tess for a restful 45 minute Yoga Nidra session tonight, available to stream live on Zoom, from the comfort of your own space: 7:30pm - 8:15pm AEDT.
Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) is a guided meditation practice accessible for all to practice, regardless of body type, injury, experience level, or age.
Comfort is of highest priority in Yoga Nidra, in fact, it is one of the few meditation styles that encourages a lying down posture.
This guided practice is trauma-informed, and you're welcome to join with your video on or off.
Bookings via https://ayogaseed.com.au
Yoga Nidra practice has a multitude of benefits:
❤️Decreases stress
❤️Reduces muscular and emotional tension
❤️Restores balance to the nervous system
❤️Improves functioning of the endocrine, respiratory, immune and digestive systems
❤️Improves concentration
❤️Boosts creativity
❤️ 1 hour of Yoga Nidra is as restorative as 4 hours of regular sleep!
