May 27, 2022 10:30am – 11:30am AEST, Natural Medicine Week: The 9 Tenets of Health
Treating the symptoms and not addressing the underlying issues is a band aid approach that ignores the root cause of disease. The Naturopathic approach to health and wellbeing has always been to get to the root cause of illness and work to correct the causes. This means we must make some changes…and not everyone is up for an adjustment of lifestyle! Are you? Learn about the 9 Tenets of Health and put them into practice in your life.

Simple Steps To Reduce Pain
FREE WEBINAR to celebrate

REGISTER HERE:
Register in advance for this meeting:
https://us02web.zoom.us/…/tZYkd…
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
When we take simple practices and bring them to each day we learn to live life well and experience the benefits. A breath, a new way of looking at things, a short physical practice, a simple therapy, some informed changes to lifestyle and diet…done regularly…build the foundations for optimal health and reducing chronic pain.
Those who live with chronic pain can experience overwhelm and stress. After years of working with clients suffering fibromyalgia and other painful conditions, I have found that simple practices have been the most potent when it comes to equipping them to deal with pain, exhaustion, and the mental and emotional drain.
Being inspired to do something daily can be the most powerful gift in helping to reduce pain and suffering

APRIL 6TH 2019 10.30am – 4.30pm
LOCATION: 11:11 Yoga Studio, 277 Peel St, Tamworth NSW 2340
A workshop for yoga students and teachers, to learn about and experience the connection between gut and brain. Learn how specific yoga practices can be powerful keys to regulating your nervous system, self-soothing and relaxation. Discover which breathing techniques, postures and other practices help improve your ability to deal with stress, improve your gut health and sense of well-being.
The Vagus Nerve is often referred to as the ‘Wanderer Nerve’. It is like a communication superhighway between our gut and brain, and powers up our involuntary nervous system. As far as keeping all systems firing in our body, this nerve is a major player.
Chronic stress, modern day life, illness and unresolved traumas impact the functioning of our nervous system. This can leave many of us feeling worn-out, anxious, down and literally sick in our gut.
This is why many of us turn to yoga to help us feel better. And it can!
Together we will learn specific practices that focus on regulating the vagus nerve which will help you and your students regain balance. We’ll learn about the connection between stress, immune function and inflammation, and how we can use the tools of yoga to come back to well-being.
We are going to:
* Learn how to befriend our nervous system by understanding its responses, and learn and experience how yoga practices are a powerful key to regulating our mind and emotions.
* Look at the nervous system and its different roles
* Discover the function of the vagus nerve
* Learn how to counter over-stimulation and to rise up out of exhaustion with specific yoga postures, breathing techniques and visualisations that we will practice on the day
* Look at the microbiome-gut-brain axis and how we can influence it with our yoga tools
* Learn how to improve vagus nerve ‘tone’ with yoga
* Determine how to best use yoga tools to have more flexibility with our nervous system
* Learn pranayama, asana, mindfulness and visualization practices that are specific to toning the vagus nerve and regulating mind and emotions
* Experience and learn a short class sequence that has a powerful calming effect on our nervous system
This is a practical workshop full of doing and practicing skills that you will be able to take home and use, and pass on to your students if you are a teacher.

Ekam is a word from the ancient Indian language Sanskrit. It is a beautiful language, which carries meaning not only through words but also the vibration of sound.
Ekam means “one”.
It is a fitting name for a festival that brings teachers and students of different traditions together to learn and share with respect for each other’s experience and knowledge.
We may practice different postures or the same postures differently. We may focus on meditation, pranayama (breathing) or asana (postures). We may be a beginner or an accomplished practitioner. We may understand yoga to be something that makes our bodies feel good or see it as a deep spiritual practice. At Ekam we come together as one.
Ekam Yoga Festival is organized by Random Acts of Yoga, a not-for-profit organisation based in Port Macquarie, which aims to improve the local community’s wellbeing through yoga. This is a not-for-profit event.
