What a beautiful night we shared as we honoured the longest day of the year here in Australia—the Summer Solstice—with 108 rounds of the Gayatri Mantra. The Gayatri is the spiritual essence behind the Sun, and more deeply, the light of our own soul.

We continued the evening with kirtan—chanting and singing together—before settling into a relaxed picnic in the studio, made special by the food generously shared by everyone who came along. It was a truly heartfelt gathering, and a perfect way to lead us into this week’s theme.

This week at the studio, our focus is the Anahata Chakra, the heart centre. Anahata plays a vital role in how we experience love, connection, and authenticity—shaping how openly and honestly we meet ourselves and the world around us.

Join us in the studio this week to reconnect with this inner space and gently navigate back toward your heart. And be sure to check below for some other beautiful offerings and events coming up soon.

ANAHATA — THE HEART CENTRE 💚

Located at the centre of the chest, Anahata is the bridge between the lower and upper chakras—where our humanity meets our higher nature.

Ruled by the element of air, it’s the seat of love, compassion, and connection.
When balanced, we give and receive freely.
When blocked, the heart either closes… or clings.

Anahata reminds us that love isn’t something to earn or control.
It’s something we soften into and remember.

Join us in the studio this week for heart-opening practices that reconnect you to your breath, your body, and your deeper sense of belonging. 💚

Join us tonight for 108 rounds of the Gayatri Mantra. 5pm .cronulla

The Gayatri Mantra is not a prayer to the outer sun.
It is an invocation of the inner light. ☀️

From the Rig Veda, the Gayatri calls upon Savitr — the radiant intelligence that illumines the intellect (dhi).

Esoterically, this mantra traces a journey of light:
• from the physical body
• through the pranic field
• into the mind and intellect
• culminating in awakening awareness

The inner sun ignites at the solar centre, rises through the spine, and illuminates the third eye and crown — dissolving ignorance and revealing clarity.

This is why the Gayatri is chanted at dawn, noon, and dusk — the sacred junctions where light shifts, both outside and within.

May that divine light guide our intellect toward truth.

🕉️✨

🌍 A Trip Around the World in One Week
To even consider something like this requires more than logistics—it requires capacity. The ability to move, adapt, decide, and act without hesitation.

🔥 Manipura Chakra – The Fire Within
At the centre of this capacity is Manipura Chakra, the navel centre.
The element of fire lives here—🔥 the force of transformation, digestion, willpower, and self-belief.

Manipura is what allows you to:
• Take decisive action ⚡️
• Assimilate experience instead of being overwhelmed
• Trust your inner authority
• Turn intention into movement

When this centre is strong, challenges feel doable. When it’s weak, even simple tasks feel heavy.

🔥 How This Fire Is Cultivated
Manipura isn’t activated by motivation alone. It’s cultivated through:
• Consistent practice 🧘‍♂️
• Deeper techniques and intention
• Mantra that stokes the inner flame
• Ritual, discipline, and showing up—especially when it’s uncomfortable

This is why we practice. Not just to stretch—but to build the inner engine that carries us through life.

📚 Trainings to Learn This Properly
These teachings aren’t theoretical. They are embodied, trained, and lived.
Through Traditional Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, and Meditation, you learn how to:
• Generate and direct inner fire
• Build real energetic resilience
• Cultivate clarity, confidence, and steadiness

🔥 When Manipura is online, life doesn’t feel random.

You move with purpose.
You act with conviction.
You stop doubting your capacity.

This is the work.
And this is the invitation—to wake up.

Dissolve the boundaries between your inner and outer world.

You, me, we all vary in density through the layers of our body, vibration, emotions, energy and consciousness.

In order to navigate the layers…..

There is no shortcuts, no bypassing in any way and if you find yourself trapped in the superficial layer, the most dense, then their is no way of progressing to pe*****te into what becomes more and more subtle, towards source.

Towards your unique brilliance.

Swadhisthana — The Sacral Chakra
Located in the lower abdomen, this chakra is the seat of emotions, creativity, and sensuality. Associated with the water element, it governs the energy of connection, cohesion, and flow.

It’s said to have six nadis radiating at 60° angles—just like a snowflake—symbolising beauty in emotional and energetic symmetry.

🔸 When balanced, we express ourselves creatively, feel deeply without overwhelm, and enjoy healthy intimacy.
🔸 When overactive, it can show up as mood swings, addiction to pleasure, and emotional intensity.
🔸 When underactive, we may feel numb, creatively blocked, or disconnected from joy and others.

How to balance it?
→ Hip-opening and fluid yoga practices
→ Gentle breathwork (like Sama Vritti or Nadi Shodhana)
→ Clear, heartfelt intentions around intimacy, joy, or creativity
→ And for the advanced: Vajroli Mudra — a subtle pelvic floor technique that helps master and uplift sexual energy for vitality and higher awareness.

Let your energy flow without flooding, create from depth, and feel from your centre. 🌀

Bhāv (भाव) in Sanskrit is a powerful and multilayered word. Its meaning shifts depending on the context, but at its core it points to a state of being.

1. Feeling / Emotion

Bhāv refers to the inner feeling-state that arises from the heart or consciousness. In yoga, devotion, and mantra, your bhāv is the quality of energy you bring to the practice.

2. Mood / Atmosphere

It can also describe the mood or atmosphere of a space. A room, class, or chant circle can have a particular bhāv.

3. State of Being / Existence

More philosophically, bhāv means beingness — the underlying state of one’s mind, heart, and awareness. It’s about how you’re being, not just what you’re doing.

4. Spiritual Attitude / Devotional Feeling

In Bhakti Yoga, bhāv is the devotional attitude — the feeling-tone of your relationship to the Divine. It’s the emotional essence behind the practice.

Bhāv = the feeling, the mood, the state of being, and the energetic quality you embody.

Our tagline of “A Spiritual Practice” is an invitation to come and feel safe while you explore your inner world. Discover who you truly are and what you’re capable of.

The Root Chakra (Muladhara) sits at the base of the spine and is the foundation of your entire energetic system. Linked to the colour red and the earth element, it governs your sense of safety, stability, and your ability to function in the physical world.

When Muladhara is strong, you feel grounded, secure, and present. Your energy is steady, your basic needs feel supported, and you move through life with confidence and clarity.

When it’s weak or imbalanced, everything feels shaky. Anxiety rises, motivation drops, and you may feel disconnected from your body—tired, ungrounded, or unsure of your next step.

Balancing the root chakra brings you back into your body and back into your life.
Moon/Mind-style practices, gentle activation of Mula Bandha at the end of the exhale, and reconnecting with nature—barefoot walking, gardening, or simply sitting on the earth—strengthen this foundational centre.

Muladhara is your energetic anchor.
Strengthen it, and you strengthen everything else.

———

ROOT CHAKRA 🌑❤️ (Muladhara)
Your energetic foundation. Your anchor. Your sense of I am safe.

Located at the base of the spine, Muladhara is all about grounding, stability, survival, and your connection to the physical world.

When it’s balanced:
✨ You feel steady
✨ Clear-headed
✨ Present in your body
✨ Confident to take action

When it’s off:
⚡ Anxiety
⚡ Feeling ungrounded
⚡ Low energy
⚡ Disconnected from your body

How to strengthen it:
🌿 Moon/Mind practices
🌿 Gentle Mula Bandha at the end of the exhale
🌿 Walking barefoot
🌿 Time in nature & earth connection

Strengthen your root, and you strengthen your whole life. 🌱✨

We’d love you to join us for our final gathering of the year as we come together to celebrate the Summer Solstice — the longest, brightest day of the year and a powerful moment to honour the light within and around us.

We’ll begin with 108 rounds of the Gayatri Mantra, offering our collective intention, gratitude and devotion to the solar force that sustains life and inspires clarity, courage, and renewal. After we will merge into Kirtan, lift the energy even higher as we chant, sing, and open the heart together.

Afterwards, we’ll ground the practice in true community spirit with food by the people — a shared feast created by everyone who joins. Your entry is simple:

Bring your best self… your joy, your fun, your presence… and a plate of food to share.

There is lots of stuff we buy….

And then there are those investments that change us.
Gift yourself that thing that truly creates change for a life you desire!
Declare for yourself a decision that brings your vision to life.
Decide to invest in yourself and or the gift to serve others the opportunity to achieve and believe.

Surrounded in discipline, influenced, supported by community, one that you show up for and others show up for you.
And the devotion from your heart to gift life long evolving gifts to yourself or to that person you love

This is the Gift of giving and one that will not become just stuff but a pathway for joy, growth and love.

* Yoga Classes and Privates
* Passes and Memberships
