Peace to disconnect - visitor in 2022 
The location, environment, yoga instructions, food and peace were just what I needed to disconnect and completely unwind.

Positive Changes through Yoga Asana

How do Asana influence one's mental and emotional outlook and attitude

Asanas help to change and reorientate one's mental and emotional outlook and attitude.

Asanas help to change and reorientate the mental and emotional outlook and attitude.
Asanas bring about harmony in the various bodily systems.  These systems are rhythmic in nature and include the blood, nervous, respiratory, digestive, and endocrine systems, which are all intimately related to each other.  When the proper working relationship between these bodily processes is lost there is a resultant loss of health and body efficiency.  This has repercussions for emotional and mental wellbeing.  Asanas coordinate these various systems, bringing rhythm and balance into the body-mind complex. Conversations on the Science of Yoga - Sw. Satyananda 

Thanks so much for the time at Rocklyn. I feel so calm and energised this week. Guest

imagine yoga practices that create deep relaxation, and give space within to declutter the mind from the things we worry about

Supporting the Inner Self Happiness

Visitor 2023
Thank you so much for my stay at the ashram and for the wonderful programme. The ashram is such a magical place, nestled in nature and away from the bustle of the city. It was a much-needed break from all the external stimulations and distractions, as well as a good reminder to get back to the practice. I left with a better sense of clarity and centredness, inner happiness and spaciousness.
