A women's path to health and well-being. An ancient path for modern women.
Yoga should be taught with her sister science Ayurveda's principals and knowledge.
The ancient sciences of self-healing. Always evolving & adapting into modernity.
*This body of work is complimentary rather than alternative to Western health care and that's important, they can work together.
The seven chakra are the seven chapters in a book of self-knowledge and healing and there are seven sections/chapters to work with in my courses.
The chakra are described as spheres of energy that align with the spine.
The base chakra is the first and sits at the base of the spine radiating downwards.
The first five chakra work with an element, beginning with the element of earth (Base Chakra) & a sense smell
This body of work/chakra encourages health and strength in the feet, legs, lower back and pelvic floor. (Yoga asana, herbs, essential oils, self massage of the feet are a few of the healing modalities.)
Stability and strength in the mind. (Breathing exercises, walking/sitting in nature, yoga nidra meditation are a few of the healing modalities.)
And the spirit of the work, connects you back to what gives you joy in life and affirms the importance of quietening your mind so you can access your own personnel heart guidance.(Crystals, affirmations, the colour red, singing/chanting, a healing sound frequency/musical note C to name a few.)
Seven keys or doorways to a healthy, happy life.
I began my journey learning about Ayurvedic healing and have a Diploma in Ayurvedic Herbology and later with a sore hip began yoga. We are still too focused on yoga as an exercise in the West, that's how I thought of it too. The classes are often about health in the body only but the beauty of the work is connecting body, heart, mind and spirit.
I wish to make it easy for you to learn how to use the energy that is within you for self-healing of not only your body but your heart and mind.
Energy is a word I use a lot now, I didn't know what it meant when I started yoga & meditation. But you will begin to feel it flowing within you and around your body, when you quieten your mind. It's powerful medicine once you can feel it.

*There are options to make a small donation for online or zoom classes. $10
Why should I when it's free? Because giving back is an exchange of energy. Instead of taking (a disease of modern society) open your heart and learn to be generous, to use money to say thank you. And you won't need to pay first, give it a try and see if the course is valuable to you. This is a powerful lesson of the heart Chakra and it's your choice.

You will learn how to create a healthy body with the physical postures. I have focused on bringing in the nourishing, feminine yoga practices. Simple through to advanced yoga, including Hatha, Flow, Yin & Restorative yoga.
Learn more than thirty meditations to help promote a healthy mind, special herbs and foods for your health patterns, self- massage, crystal meditations, essential oils, the beautiful hand gestures, all interconnected with breathwork.
This is the surface layer, the teaching meditations, yoga classes and Bird Song my book will encourage you to gradually move deeper and discover what gives you joy in life. The teachings are practical and inspiring, giving you the time, to really think and then make plans, always changing your life to make it more beautiful and all the time the physical practice is making you stronger and more flexible.
The course encourages you to study yourself. Your needs, loves, good & bad habits. Learn what you need to add to your life to feel fulfilled, content and calm and just as important what you need to change or let go of.
"The greatest gift you can give yourself, your family and friends, is your happiness."
What you will learn in the course.
As you begin to understand "energy" You will know which classes, meditations, food, herbs, crystal etc.
To use/practice to stay balanced and become healthier throughout your life.
I recommend books to read as you progress but there is a lot of knowledge in the classes, my online book and 8 years of Newsletters. Just follow the links.
You only need a few things to begin
A journal or diary.
A computer, ipad or laptop to view the classes properly.
Maybe a yoga mat. You don't need to practice yoga asana but I recommend you practice at least chair yoga. Yoga is one of the best forms of meditation for beginners. It gives you a focus, and it heals your body, makes it strong & more flexible.
Decide which course and step onto a new path in life, which encourages health rather than treats sickness. Which asks you important questions such as what you want to achieve in life and then empowers you as well as teaches you how to make it happen. Small steps over time are lasting, make your dreams come true.

A dreaming story.
Miwa Gawaian tells how the Spirit Woman Korrobori came to Earth from the sky, and created the world as a place to rest during her travels. She created trees and plants, to provide food, beauty and shelter. Then she created two sisters to look after the world she had crafted. She named the sisters Wurrata, the Beautiful One, and Wiridjiribin, the Rememberer. Korrobori showed the sisters all around the world she had made, and taught them which plants they could use for food, medicine, and other things.
When the time cam for Korrobori to return home, the sisters were sad, and begged her not to leave. Korrobori took her magic staff and planted it into the ground, where it turned into a beautiful white flower. She named it Miwa Gawaian, although this flower is now known as the White Waratah. Korrobori told the sisters that if they needed her, they could always talk to her through the Miwa Gawaian. She would hear them and come to help them.

About me
I planted this White Waratah in my garden as a remembrance of those who came before us. I hope the wisdom of the indigenous women is taught again and we learn the old ways and how to take proper care of ourselves and county.
Thank You.
The course is the "yoga" of everything I have learnt and experienced in my life.
It is gradually and slowly evolving. I enjoy and feel inspired to write, teach, learn and share. It has all come together over seven years here on the website. All I did was follow my heart. Often when I practice meditation something within me awakens and says you need to share this, it is so important. Somehow I have become an Author too!
I have 2 more books to share, they move deeper and are not pure positivity like Bird Song. She is my maiden book.
My book Sun Women is the mother and she is not all sweetness and light, just like life. Dream Weaver is the crone. I have had the most profound and amazing experiences and dreams that led me to discover the spiritual traditions of my ancestors.
I can talk science and spirituality which would you prefer? Both are as important as each other but our spirit in this modern world has been neglected.
*This website is all my doing, my photographs, my words, my yoga classes. It is full of knowledge but website editing isn't my strong point! I would love you to let me know if links etc don't work, or if you can't find anything. It will help me improve it.
Thank You
I have a Diploma in Medical Herbalism, Diploma in Ayurvedic Herbology, Diploma in Food Therapy. Certificate of Moonology
A Certificate 200 hours Hatha Yoga, 100 hours Yin Yoga, 50 hours Children's Yoga and 10 years of teaching yoga at my local community hall. I have run retreats and workshops and love being part of a community of like minded women
I am also a Radiographer with an in depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
Many of the meditations were spontaneous. I set up the camera, zoomed in to a tree or crystal and then let the words flow.
I did plan the sections of the course, working with the elements and chakra but I was astonished at how Bird Song which I was writing separately became the holding together of everything. The guide book. When we trust our heart, our inspiration flows, there's deep feminine knowledge that is just waiting for us to tap into it.
I chose to make Bird Song a women's book/course. I find some men (I worked as a Radiographer with many male doctors) want to explain everything with science, which is impossible. We can't separate the body from the heart & mind and treat only the physical symptoms, it is all interconnected.
This feminine body of work is sometimes ridiculed in an attempt to diminish it.
But if this happens I just say. This is women's business, not yours. That stops them!
But this is not the real story. We have masculine and feminine qualities within us.
This is a powerful course for men who wish to work with the feminine too.
Loving, nurturing, peace, respect, grace, softness, forgiveness, gratitude.
