ELAINE

--------------------------------------
I am a RYT Registered Yoga teacher, Sports,Thai massage and Bodywork therapist.

I received my teacher training from Yoga Arts (Australia) in 2005. My yoga journey has taken many forms; From the vigorous practises of vinyasa and ashtanga to acroyoga ..... For the past 5 years, I have found inspiration in the teachings of BKS Iyengar and am a disciple of senior teacher Peter Thomson.

I am certified in Thai Massage by the Thai Massage School of ChiangMai and have studied under Oestheopaths Arnaud L'Hermitte & David Lutt and Itzhak Helman of the Sunshine Network.

I have a keen interest in sports especially endurance sports and have trained in Ironman and sports massage with the renown Dr Myk Hungerford (mother of sports massage).

I am also a sports consultant and organise marathons and sports events.

Yoga helped me recuperate from a traumatic accident and I practise yoga to share its healing benefits with others. I believe in the transformation power of yoga and use Massage and other bodywork techniques to achieve greater depths in my yoga practise.

Yoga is a sharing of love and compassion that can bring about emotional and physical healing.

Giving and Receiving of Pleasure

Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn
that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower,
But it is also the pleasure of the flower
to yield its honey to the bee.
For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life
And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love,
And to both, bee and flower, the giving and receiving of pleasure
is a need and an ecstasy.

The Prophet
Kahlil Gibran

GSCF - Rescue Haiti Mission


My friends at the GSCF have sent a team to Haiti with search equipment, water purification systems and medical supplies. They urgently require financial support for this mission.


All proceeds from yoga classes and massages next week (25-31 Jan) will go towards the GSCF - Rescue Haiti Mission.

So, you can come for class everyday or book a massage and do your part in the relief efforts. :)

If you would like to donate directly on line, please go to
https://gscf.donnerenligne.fr/. I will be doing a bank transfer at the end of next week so we can do a group sending if you prefer.

NOTE : The GSCF is a non-profit relief organisation comprising entirely of volunteers and funded through donations. They are doing amazing work to provide rescue and assistance to victims of natural and man-made disasters around the world. Please support their work. http://www.gscf.eu/


Contact Improvisation


I just started Contact Improvisation classes and the practise is really amazing. It's a bit like dance with acroyoga, playful wrestling and meditation all rolled into one!

In yoga, we build an awareness of self that is deep and beautiful.... The journey inwards is however done in isolation. With Contact (as in massage work), the meditation is deep but the journey is different as it embraces all that is around us; connecting us with people, objects and the environment - Bringing awareness to a different dimension. Try it out!


I practised contact at various Yoga Massage workshops during the past year but it is great to finally get some formal instruction.


I take classes with Matthew Heys @ La Salle. You can find out more at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=21

THE GOLDEN POT OF HAPPINESS

Bolivia

Surrender;
Fill your soul with complete ecstatic gratitude
And you will hear what you heart already knows.

There is no need to be chasing rainbows
For the pot of gold is in the backyard.
Be mindful of the present
and the secret door to eternal bliss will reveal itself.
It is there; always been there.
Quieten the heart,
Stop the chase
And allow the universe to bestow upon you what is rightfully yours.

Happiness does not need to be pursued,
It does not need to be earned.
Happiness is our birthright;
The world, our playground;
And every soul that crosses our path,
A light to the divine.

The light in me acknowledges the light in you.
May our light continue to shine bright and true.
May happiness reveal himself to us in all his splendor.
