A Holistic Yogic Lifestyle
Yoga Ecology is the Yogic and Vedic way of living an ecological lifestyle in harmony with Mother Nature - Prakriti.
05 - 07 Apr $350 Book Here
During this weekend course we will explore;
Yogic lifestyle and routines, Yogic Attitudes, practises and rituals that help us to reconnect with Nature.
Through this renewed connection, we live with awareness and the understanding that we are not separate from nature, we are nature.
This awareness and connection with Mother Nature is a necessity as we face climate change, global warming and the many environmental and social problems of modern times.
This Yoga Ecology and lifestyle course is for anyone who wants to deepen their connection to Mother Nature in their daily lives, leading to a more balanced, harmonious and healthy life not only for the individual but also for society and the future generations.

She is passionate about the environment and outlines the simple changes every individual needs to make in their daily lives to live yoga moment to moment and through Living Yoga, live ecologically.

Awakening Intuition
Intuition as we know it is individual not universal. Individual intuition is the expansion of awareness that in a moment makes the connection between two or more things that have until then only been seen separately. A realisation dawns and a third way an insight can open up. This means that intuition can be improved systematically by creating or setting up a relaxed inner environment through meditation where the noise of the mind as we know it can be seen for what it is. It becomes quiet and the still small voice of wisdom can be heard.
Silence during the course is a blessing and a release from daily concerns. Silence ensures continuity of awareness, an essential quality in being able to go deeper in practice.
Swami Anandakumar is an internationally respected teacher who specialises in practices of self-awareness. He has studied a wide variety of yogic disciplines over nearly 40 years, training and teaching in ashrams in Australia and India, as well as conducting courses on the practical experience of meditation internationally. This brought insight into the benefits of learning to go deeper into self-awareness as a methodical practice.

"I came to Rocklyn for the conscious living course not knowing what to expect, but with expectations of getting some rest, some time out and some reflection. Wow! I came away with so much more. Atma has created an amazing space, and perhaps a unique resource in Victoria for anyone looking for more than yoga asana practice, to a deeper dive into meditation, prana and conscious, healthy living. The daily structure frees up headspace for reflection, taking time to both breathe in as well as contribute to the surrounding beautiful environs. I enjoyed getting my hands dirty in the food garden, helping out, chatting to other lovely souls all on their own journey and having a good look at the spinning thoughts and emotions that can fill our day, and lead to nowhere.
Thanks for guiding me through the course, and I very much look forward to coming again to take stock, recharge and learn more." Jeremy
