Physically it warms the body and stimulates and cleanses the nadis to enhance its health. Spiritually it brings sunlight to the spirit. Traditionally\, Surya Namaskara was practised as an act of reverence to the sun. The brilliance of the sun is the most powerful symbol of the divine Light that resides within our spiritual\, innermost heart (hrydaya). This sequence of āsana are highly therapeutic. However\, how therapeutic they are relies upon how intelligently we practice them. that their effect on our body is  balanced and harmonious. \nIn Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga\, they are especially pertinent as are the foundation of every vinyasa that we do. This workshop shines a therapeutic light on sun salutations\, illuminating complex postures like Chaturānga Dandāsana\, Urdhva Mukha Svanāsana and Adho Mukha Svanāsana and their transitions. We will also chant the 12 mantras\, honouring the names of Surya as we further put into practice the many refinements that you will learn.I have a deep reverence for these postures and this sequence. With a clearer\, deeper understanding of how to perform the individual postures\, our ease and grace of movement as well as our love and appreciation for this brilliant sequence will grow. \nBending Backwards with Grace & Ease\, Sunday 1.30 – 4.30 pmA deep\, intelligent approach to the art of bending backwards\, where structure\, mobility and awareness meet to create strength\, openness and freedom. Backbends can be deeply transformative\, but they often bring up challenges — both physical and emotional. To explore them safely and effectively\, it is essential to understand the anatomical mechanics and individual variations that influence our experience of these postures. \nIn this workshop\, we will study the functional anatomy of the spine and the key structures involved in backbending: from the ligamentous ‘brakes’ that protect us\, to the muscles that can either support or limit our range of motion. We’ll explore how different backbending asanas call for unique combinations of flexibility and strength\, and how to adapt our approach based on each practitioner’s individual body and needs. \nThe practical part of the workshop includes movement sequences and release techniques to decompress the spine\, mobilise the thorax\, and safely open the hips and shoulders. These practices are designed to support healthy and sustainable backbending\, whether you’re an advanced practitioner or just starting to exploredeeper heart-opening shapes. \nBy integrating anatomical knowledge with somatic awareness\, you’ll learn how to move into backbends with more ease\, confidence and stability — developing a personal experience of grace\, freedom\, and strength in your practice. \nPlease note: \nMantra and chanting are integrated into each Workshop appropriate to the topic being taught. \nWhere there is an anatomical/theory base to the Workshop\, PowerPoint presentations are used as a visual supplement to aid students to better understand and integrate the information presented. \nA digital manual with the mantras and PowerPoint presentation are supplied. \nThere is a strong practical component to each Workshop\, which makes the material relevant and applicable. \nEmotional anatomy is weaved into all topics to enhance the understanding of the mind-body connection\, how our body stores emotions and how better to release them. \nTo enhance your experience of the material taught students are encouraged to bring certain props or are provided with them for some of the workshops. \nThese workshops are interactive and questions are encouraged to make the material pertinent to those in attendance. \nThese workshop contribute to yoga association continuing education (CE) points and are YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Program) approved. \n \n \n \n \n \n Bookings\nFor weekend workshop please click here. \n \n BOOK NOW\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Details \n \n\n \n \n Date:\n \n June 4\, 2026 \n \n \n\n \n Time:\n \n \n 6:10 am \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Organiser\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n YOUR INSTRUCTOR\n \n \n \n \n \n Monica is a life-long yogi.

The focus will be on breaking down the various phases of entering and exiting the postures into their constituents. Performing postures safely while understanding which anatomical actions will get us deep into the asanas will prevent unnecessary energy expenditure. Through inducing precision\, this format also achieves the release of conditioning and emotions lodged in bodily tissue\, preparing us for the higher limbs of pranayama and meditation. \n1 to 3.30pm Yogic Meditation – Through Mantra\, Chakras and Kundalini to Spiritual FreedomDifferent to Vedantic or Buddhist meditation\, yogic meditation contains the same structural elements as yogic postures and breathing and was designed to form together with those an integrated whole. Meditation is the method of bringing your mind into a receptive state? so that you can receive higher knowledge that is already there. Yogic meditation is a collection of scientific methods to bring about such awareness. To accelerate spiritual evolution yogic meditation employs many means amongst which the prime ones are mantra\, mudra\, bandha\, chakra-visualization and Kundalini-raising techniques. \nSunday May 31st 20269am to 11.30 The Breath of Yoga – PranayamaImagine how great it would be to have a switch that\, when operated\, would enable you to consciously choose between your right and left brain hemispheres\, intuitive and analytical intelligence\, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems\, fight/flight reflex and rest/relaxation\, and between the male and female\, solar and lunar\, aspects of your psyche. How great it would be if\, when required\, you could switch from being compassionate to doggedly determined. Or from being charged with energy to being completely relaxed within a few minutes. Or from extrovert (physically present\, expressive and outgoing) to introvert (reflective and absorbing) within a short time. This switch does\, in fact\, exist\, and it is not at all hidden. It is the prominently protruding olfactory orifice right in the middle of your face: your nose. \nPranayama includes some of the most neglected yet most powerful methods of yoga. Pranayama is the vital link that connects asana to meditation\, without which the combined benefit of both cannot be harvested. Learn how to use pranayama to harmonize the doshas (humors of the body) and thus attain a state of health and balance as well as how to still the mind\, enabling spiritual insight. \n1 to 3.30pm SamadhiIn this session\, Gregor will shows how all yogic techniques and methods collaborate to bring about its pinnacle — the state of samadhi.This includes detailed descriptions of the eight classical samadhis as listed in the Yoga Sutra\, both from the practical view of content and experience and from the techniques to access them. Gregor will show the importance that these states have for a new enchantment with our world\, nature\, and all beings. On the way to that climax\, Gregor dissolves misconceptions about samadhi\, shows the importance of both objectless and the much-neglected objective samadhi\, what exactly stands in the way of their arising\, how obstacles are removed and dissolved\, the role of the teacher\, and the role of grace and devotion. He also shows how many other yogic techniques contribute to samadhi. \nFor more information and to book please click here \n \n To book:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Details \n \n\n \n \n Date:\n \n June 4\, 2026 \n \n \n\n \n Time:\n \n \n 6:10 am \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Organiser\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n YOUR INSTRUCTORS\n \n \n \n \n \n Gregor and Monica are life-long yogis.

To explore them safely and effectively\, it is essential to understand the anatomical mechanics and individual variations that influence our experience of these postures. \nIn this workshop\, we will study the functional anatomy of the spine and the key structures involved in backbending: from the ligamentous ‘brakes’ that protect us\, to the muscles that can either support or limit our range of motion. We’ll explore how different backbending asanas call for unique combinations of flexibility and strength\, and how to adapt our approach based on each practitioner’s body and needs. \nThe practical part of the workshop includes movement sequences and release techniques to decompress the spine\, mobilise the thorax\, and safely open the hips and shoulders. These practices are designed to support healthy and sustainable backbending\, whether you’re an advanced practitioner or just starting to explore deeper heart-opening shapes. \nBy integrating anatomical knowledge with somatic awareness\, you’ll learn how to move into backbends with more ease\, confidence and stability — developing a personal experience of grace\, freedom\, and strength in your practice. \nMain topics\nWe will explore the structural and functional dynamics of bending backwards through both theory and embodied practice. \n\nFunctional anatomy of the spine: understanding its natural architecture and stress points• Ligamentous restraints and muscular support in backbending• Body reading and individual adaptation: recognising different needs and movement potentials• Practical techniques to unravel spinal tension and mobilise the thorax• Safe and effective opening of hips and shoulders for backbending• Developing grace\, strength and fluidity in backbending asanas\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Bookings\nFor weekend workshop please click here. \n \n BOOK NOW\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Details \n \n\n \n \n Date:\n \n June 4\, 2026 \n \n \n\n \n Time:\n \n \n 6:10 am \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Organiser\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n YOUR INSTRUCTOR\n \n \n \n \n \n Monica is a life-long yogi.

This training consists of four individual 8-day retreats with each providing 75 hours of tuition\, of which 60 hours are delivered in person and 15 hours online. For additional modules of this training please click here. \nYou can participate in each module without completing the whole training. Students who wish to gain deeper knowledge about a particular subject rather than wanting to teach are welcome. \nLearning yoga and experiencing its various techniques in a condensed format has many benefits. Taking this dedicated time away from your usual commitments and work means that you can immerse yourself fully in the experience\, practice and teachings. Being out of your usual life-style and surroundings has the potential to open you much more to change\, assimilation and transformation. \nBHAKTI\, GITA\, THERAPY & ASANA with Gregor & Monica involves the following themes and subjects: \n\nAsana\, Led & Mysore-style\nBhakti\, The Yoga of Love\nSanskrit Mantras Level 3\nTantric Meditations of the Vijñana Bhairava\nThe Triune Yoga: Karma\, Bhakti and Jñana\nTherapy: The Lower Limb\nTherapy: The Upper Limb\n\nBHAKTI\, GITA\, THERAPY & ASANA with Gregor & Monica will take place on the 12 – 19 June 2025 at Limeni Village Hotel\, Areopoli\, Greece. We recommend flying into Athens airport as we have organised a shuttle bus to get to Limeni Village easily. Please book your deposit/ accommodation with us before you book your flights. Once you have paid for your accommodation\, we will forward you the shuttle departure times and dates. \nAll classes are taught by Gregor Maehle & Monica Gauci. You can use this 75-hour with three other retreats to complete the 300-hour Yoga Alliance certification. All of our levels combined will enable you to reach Yoga Alliance 500-hour status. \nThe only prerequisite for this module is to complete Monica’s ‘Sacred Sounds’ Theory (a one-hour class on mantra and Sanskrit pronunciation) https://8limbs.com/product/sacred-sounds-theory-with-monica-gauci/ \nFor more information please download our prospectus. \nAll prices in Australian dollars. Price does not include travel\, accommodation and food. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Course Curriculum excerpts\nBhakti – The Yoga of Love \nBhakti is the yoga of divine love. We will establish a definition of what the Divine is and what it is not. The Divine will be shown to promote intensity\, creativity\, novelty and co-creation with all life forms. We will also come to understand that the Divine is not a solid state but an ongoing process. \nWe will analyse various historical Bhakti movements and will attempt to learn from their strengths and weaknesses. We will also look at the psychological advantages and obstacles to practising a yoga of love. Finally\, a non-sectarian\, 21st-century approach to bhakti will be presented\, including practices designed to improve our quality of life\, happiness\, contentment and the knowledge that each of us matters to the Divine. An important part is learning to see the Divine in all those we struggle to understand. \nThe Bhagavad Gita\, the Divine Song\, is the main source for Bhakti. The Gita itself presents a sophisticated mix of Jnana Yoga (yoga of knowledge)\, Bhakti Yoga (yoga of devotion)\, and Karma Yoga (yoga of action). We will learn to chant some of the important stanzas and then analyse the practical lessons for life that the Gita imparts. \nThe Raja Yoga of Patanjali is also described in the Gita. Whereas in the Yoga Sutra\, the focus is on Raja Yoga and Bhakti (here called Ishvara pranidhana) takes up only about 5% of the stanzas\, in the Gita\, Ishvara pranidhana takes centre stage. In the Gita Ishvara\, it is called Purusha Uttama (Purushottama)\, the Supreme Being. The definition of the Purushottama very much interdigitates with the description of Ishvara in the Sutra. Still\, friends of the Sutra can find a lot more detail in the Gita to increase their understanding of the Divine. To facilitate this further\, Gregor will not only analyse and juxtapose viewpoints from the ancient commentators on the Gita\, such as Shankaracharya and Ramanujacharya\, but will also integrate the insights of recent luminaries\, such as Shri Ramakrishna and Shri Aurobindo. \nJnana Yoga – Tantric Meditations  \nThis workshop is based on meditation techniques from an ancient text called the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. This text came down through Kashmir Shaivism and contains 112 dharanas\, which we today call meditation techniques. Many of today’s popular meditation techniques have already been introduced in the Vijnana Bhairava. \nMost tantric meditations are simpler than yogic meditation and require less effort. There are also many different techniques to choose from. This sophisticated approach offers a great variety in case a particular technique doesn’t work for a student. This makes this system very adaptable to individual needs and preferences. \nThose techniques that deal with realizing one’s true nature as consciousness are of particular interest. Consciousness in this context is what is conscious rather than what we are conscious of (i.e. the contents of the mind). Realizing this leads to great inner peace and stillness. In the tradition of the Indian mystic Shri Aurobindo\, however\, this state is not the end of one’s spiritual evolution but the beginning of its most fruitful phase.

In order to have the stability that prevents injury and that enables us to build strength\, we need a responsive core that we can adapt to the ever-changing environment of the various movements we continuously perform. \nThis work builds a solid foundation for beginners\, is therapeutic for those with injuries and is essential for those wanting to advance their practice to more challenging and complex āsana. \n¨     Rediscover what is needed to have the stable\, responsive core you had as an infant! \n¨     Learn about the 3 diaphragms and how to maximise their efficiency. \n¨     Understand the important differences between your intrinsic and extrinsic\, expanded core. \n¨     Discover the engine that drives your intrinsic core and the secret to stability and building strength. \n¨     Learn specific exercises to assess and revitalise both our inner and expanded\, functional core. \n¨     Explore the extrinsic core and how to most effectively build strength where it matters most. \n¨     Discover your core wisdom\, how to move from the inside out and integrate your limbs into your centre. \n  \nPLEASE NOTE; \n¨ Mantra and chanting are integrated into each Workshop appropriate to the topic being taught. \n¨   Where there is an anatomical/theory base to the Workshop\, PowerPoint presentations are used as a visual supplement to aid students to better understand and integrate the information presented. \n¨   A digital manual with the mantras and PowerPoint presentation are supplied. \n¨   There is a strong practical component to each Workshop\, which makes the material relevant and applicable. \n¨   A pilates ball is included in the materials of this workshop provided by The Breathing Space. \n¨   These workshops are interactive and questions are encouraged to make the material pertinent to those in attendance. \n¨   This workshop contributes to yoga association continuing education (CE) points. \n \n \n \n \n \n Testimonial\n‘Our Essential Core’ by Dr Monica Gauci is a very thorough exploration of functional breathing\, core theory and anatomy. \nAnything offered by Monica is always layered with spirituality\, chanting\, wisdom\, educational and practical guidance of how to mobilise and strengthen very specific aspects of our anatomy\, in this case\, the core. \nEven if you’re not a yoga student or teacher\, this course will enable you to understand how your body functions and how to effectively and safely mobilise and strengthen your core. \nBig thumbs up from me… thank you so much Monica\, anytime spent with you (even if online) is gold to the quality of my life.\nAdriana\, Australia\n \n \n \n \n \n Bookings\nFor weekend workshop please click here. \n \n BOOK NOW\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Details \n \n\n \n \n Date:\n \n June 4\, 2026 \n \n \n\n \n Time:\n \n \n 6:10 am \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Organiser\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n YOUR INSTRUCTOR\n \n \n \n \n \n Monica is a life-long yogi.

How do imbalances start? How do they effect us physically? What influence does it have on our mind\, how we think? How does it influence our nervous system\, our emotions and how we feel? \nWe explore all of these topics and the therapeutic applications of how to create balance and harmony that soothes our body\, calms our mind and nervous system and uplifts our spirit. \nDiscovering the essence of good posture allows us to breathe effortlessly\, to establish a stable\, supportive core and to develop a graceful relationship with gravity. \nMYSORE CLASSES \nMonica’s guidance\, assists and adjustments are informed by her professional training as a doctor of Chiropractic\, her work as a Yoga Therapist and her 45 years of personal yoga practice. \nHer focus is on anatomically and biomechanically sound\, safe adjustments. \nHer passion is to use touch as the powerful communication and healing tool that it can be when used with consent\, intelligence and a profound sense of listening to each individual student. \nMANTRA \nChanting is a way to connect us to the essence of our being as vibrational sound. \nChanting mantras in the ancient language of Sanskrit tunes us to the wisdom and potency of this powerful language. \nYou will learn and we together will chant a Tantric dhārana for the spine and a Vedic Healing Mantra. \nPHOTO: Thanks to Chloe_Merid \n \n \n \n \n \n Testimonial\nI’d been having an issue with my back and ribs for over two and half years. I had tried different types of hands on treatment but nothing had fully resolved it. I was impressed at how quickly Monica could see my postural imbalances. Her depth of understanding the physical\, emotional\, mental and spiritual body is clear. \nMonica showed me some exercises I could use to help retrain my body into better alignment and healthier movement patterns which in turn would relieve the pain. The exercises are incredibly refined and after doing them for a couple weeks I’m starting to feel better. After a long time feeling helpless through lack of understanding it has been a huge relief to have some tools that I can use to heal myself!  Thank you! \nAmy\, New Zealand \nI describe Monica’s adjustments as “she comes along and pours love onto you”. \nAnanda\, England \n \n \n \n \n \n Bookings\nFor weekend workshop please click here. \n \n BOOK NOW\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Details \n \n\n \n \n Date:\n \n June 4\, 2026 \n \n \n\n \n Time:\n \n \n 6:10 am \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Organiser\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n YOUR INSTRUCTOR\n \n \n \n \n \n Monica is a life-long yogi.

Unfortunately\, they are often compromised during yoga practice and can cause low back\, hip and knee problems when destabilized.In this workshop you will learn how to practically assess SI joint problems and differentiate them from other sources of low-back and pelvic pain.We will explore and practice important adaptations to seemingly benign yoga postures and hands on assists to protect and preserve our sacroiliac joints.And you will learn specific therapeutic exercises for SI joint pain as well as practical tips on how to avoid injury both on and off your yoga mat.*Each student will need one block and a yoga strap.If you have a blow-up Pilates ball or a ~10cm soft ball\, please bring it along.” \n1.30 – 4.30pm Karma Yoga – How to Live Your Life’s Divine Purpose – Gregor Maehle \nDo you remember a time when you knew that your life would be amazing and that you would live to make a meaningful contribution to life on Earth and the life of others? And then what happened? Somehow our education and the process of enculturation cut us off from this sacred knowledge and élan vital. We became cynics and “realists”.Since time immemorial human societies were organized around the idea that the life of the individual and of society have divine purpose. This workshop traces this knowledge to indigenous cultures\, to the Bhagavad Gita\, the Bible and the Yoga Sutra. Our loss of this knowledge is what has led to our environmental destruction and the 6th mass extinction of life as well as the current epidemic of mental disorders.This workshop not only shows how we lost the knowledge that all life is sacred and purposeful\, it also introduces layers of technique to lead us back to finding and gradually implementing our life’s divine purpose.Also covered are: \n\nOur life’s divine purpose in relation to quantum mechanics\, astrophysics and evolutionary psychology\nConnection to bio-symbiosis\, brain development and homeostasis\nThe practice & psychology of finding one’s life’s divine purpose\nOvercoming obstacles\nHow do we know it’s the right voice?\nDaily cleansing regime of the subconscious mind\nBeing in the zone and absence of internal dialogue\nImportance of forgiveness\, gratitude\, acceptance and surrender\nHow to embody your life’s divine purpose\nHumanities collective divine purpose\n\nSunday August 18th \n10am to 12.30pm GUIDED / LED ASANA CLASS – Monica Gauci \nMonica will guide you through a modified version of the Primary series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga\, which is accessible to an able-bodied student of any level.Her focus is on inner alignment and core support that students can build strength\, stability and resilience whilst enhancing joint mobility and tissue flexibility.Monica’s style is explorative and educational. She uses techniques that encourage students to be fully present\, to develop an astute awareness\, working from the inside out to be a diligent student of their body and breath and\, in this way\, become their own greatest teacher.Performing postures with precision and awareness makes them safe and efficient\, enabling students to deeply explore the various asanas effectively and without unnecessary energy expenditure. This method also allows conditioning and emotions lodged within our tissues to be released\, bringing ease\, quietude and peace of mind. \n1.30 – 4.30pm Bhakti – Yoga of Love – with Gregor Maehle \nBhakti is the yoga of divine love. In this workshop we will establish a definition of what the Divine is and what it is not. The Divine will be shown to promote intensity\, creativity\, novelty and co-creation with all life forms. We will also come to understand that the Divine is not a solid state but an ongoing process. \nWe will analyse various historical Bhakti movements and will attempt to learn from their strengths and weaknesses. We will also look at the psychological advantages and obstacles to practising a yoga of love. Finally a non-sectarian\, 21st century approach to bhakti will be presented\, including practices designed to improve our quality of life\, happiness\, contentment and the knowledge that each of us matters to the Divine. An important part of that is to learn to see the Divine in all those we struggle to understand. \nThe main source for Bhakti is the Bhagavad Gita\, the Divine Song. The Gita itself presents a sophisticated mix of Jnana Yoga (yoga of knowledge)\, Bhakti Yoga (yoga of devotion) and Karma Yoga (yoga of action). We will learn to chant some of the important stanzas and then analyse the practical lessons for life that the Gita imparts. \nThe Raja Yoga of Patanjali is also described in the Gita. Whereas in the Yoga Sutra the focus is on Raja Yoga and Bhakti (here called Ishvara pranidhana) takes up only about 5% of the stanzas\, in the Gita Ishvara pranidhana takes centre stage. In the Gita Ishvara is called Purusha Uttama (Purushottama)\, the Supreme Being. The definition of the Purushottama very much interdigitates with the description of Ishvara in the Sutra but friends of the Sutra can find a lot more detail in the Gita to increase their understanding of the Divine. To facilitate this further Gregor will not only analyse and juxtapose viewpoints from the ancient commentators on the Gita such as Shankaracharya and Ramanujacharya but will also integrate the insights of recent luminaries such as Shri Ramakrishna and Shri Aurobindo. \nFor more information and to book please click here \n \n To book:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Details \n \n\n \n \n Date:\n \n June 4\, 2026 \n \n \n\n \n Time:\n \n \n 6:10 am \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Organiser\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n YOUR INSTRUCTORS\n \n \n \n \n \n Gregor and Monica are life-long yogis.

The focus will be on breaking down the various phases of entering and exiting the postures into their constituents. Performing postures safely while understanding which anatomical actions will get us deep into the asanas will prevent unnecessary energy expenditure. Through inducing precision this format also achieves that conditioning and emotions lodged in bodily tissue are released\, preparing us for the higher limbs of pranayama and meditation. \n1pm – 4pm: Laghunyāsaḥ Mantraḥ & Yoga Sutra\nChanting is a way to connect us to the essence of our being as vibrational sound. Chanting ancient Sanskrit mantras tunes us to the wisdom and potency of this powerful language. \nThe Laghunyāsaḥ Mantraḥ is a Vedic hymn from the Taittirīya-brāhmaṇa. It is a healing mantra that is chanted to assist anyone suffering from ill health or simply to enhance our own health. It draws on the elements which exist within us and especially inspires nourishment by connecting us to our spiritual heart. It reminds us that infinite consciousness resides within each of our hearts and in this way we are always connected to each other as pure consciousness. We are one eternal heart. \n“The Yoga Sutra entered my life 39 years ago and since then it’s been a constant companion. It took me a long time to completely understand it but once this had happened it ended all confusion I had about yoga. Understanding the Sutra gave me complete confidence in how to apply my practices diligently and that I would succeed in due time. The Sutra changed yoga for me from a faith and hope-based system to a science with predictable and repeatable outcomes. It is exactly this confidence and certainty that I would like to pass on to my students. The workshop will be interactive\, with ample time for participants to ask questions.” The Yoga Sutra is the operating manual of yoga. It is only when we understand the why’s and how’s of yoga that we will practice with confidence and beyond doubt. In this class we will chant selected stanzas in Sanskrit and a detailed commentary based on Gregor’s four decades of practice and study will be given. The commentary will retain the depth of the ancient treatises but will be fun\, relatable and applicable to modern urban life. \nSunday\n9am – 11.30am: Pranayama and Kriya\nImagine how great it would be to have a switch that\, when operated\, would enable you to consciously choose between your right and left brain hemispheres\, intuitive and analytical intelligence\, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems\, fight/flight reflex and rest/relaxation\, and between the male and female\, solar and lunar\, aspects of your psyche. How great it would be if\, when required\, you could switch from being compassionate to doggedly determined. Or from charged with energy to completely relaxed within a few minutes. Or from extrovert (physically present\, expressive and outgoing) to introvert (reflective and absorbing) within a short time. This switch does in fact exist and it is not at all hidden. It is the prominently protruding olfactory orifice right in the middle of your face: your nose. Pranayama includes some of the most neglected but yet most powerful methods of yoga. Pranayama is the vital link that connects asana to meditation without which the combined benefit of both cannot be harvested. \nLearn how to use pranayama to harmonize the doshas (humors of the body) and thus attain a state of health and balance as well as how to still the mind\, enabling spiritual insight. The kriyas are predominantly methods of purification of the body. They support the work of postures and are especially important for people who live in large cities. They aid in removing contamination from chemical\, environmental\, electrical\, biological and electromagnetic sources. \n1pm – 4pm: Tantric Meditation\nThis workshop is based on meditation techniques from an ancient text called the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. This text came down through Kashmir Shaivism and contains 112 dharanas\, what we today would call meditation techniques. Many of today’s popular meditation techniques were already introduced in the Vijnana Bhairava. Most of these tantric meditations are much simpler than yogic meditation and require less effort. There are also many different techniques to choose from. Here is a sophisticated approach that offers a great variety in case a particular technique doesn’t work for a student. This makes this system very adaptable to individual needs and preferences. Of particular interest are those techniques that deal with realizing ones true nature as consciousness. \nConsciousness in this context is that what is conscious\, rather than that what we are conscious of (i.e. the contents of the mind). Realizing this leads to great inner peace and stillness. In the tradition of the Indian mystic Shri Aurobindo\, however\, this state is not the end of one’s spiritual evolution but the beginning of its most fruitful phase. It makes us receptive and open to download higher forms of spiritual insight through which we become transformed into tools of universal consciousness. \nTo book weekend workshop please click here \nTo book morning Mysore-style classes please click here \n \n To book weekend:\n \n To book morning Mysore-style:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Details \n \n\n \n \n Date:\n \n June 4\, 2026 \n \n \n\n \n Time:\n \n \n 6:10 am \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Organiser\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n YOUR INSTRUCTORS\n \n \n \n \n \n Gregor and Monica are life-long yogis.

Likewise it is the influence of our spine\, its central energy channel and energetic centres that enables yoga it to work its ‘magic’. \nIn this workshop we explore the spine as the physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual axis of our body and being. \nA study of the development of our spinal curves reveals the energetic system that is at the core of every yogic technique\, from asana\, to pranayama to meditation. Each curve bows to the cakra at that corresponding level. We explore these energy centres\, how they reflect our spiritual evolution\, emotions and individual expression\, with a view to understand how their gentle activation is what makes the beneficial effects of yogic asana so unique. \nWe look at the architecture of the spine and how its structure determines our functional abilities. The anatomical section aims to educate students to respect differences both within the spine and between individuals. It is these differences that predict varying degrees of limitations and potential in different asanas. \nWe study the ‘stress’ points along our spine and how to reduce these stressors. Here we also look at the passive stabilisation system of ligaments as well as the active stabilisation of the spinal muscles. We examine how the role of segmental stability compliments the role of the muscles that provide larger prime movements. We explore spinal mobilisation techniques and asanas that enhance spinal stability and health as well as practical ways to modify how we perform any asana to spare our spine that it can be healthy and last us for a long lifetime. \nAdditionally\, you will learn a Vedic healing mantra and and a Dhārana on Suṣumna from the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra. \nPlease bring two tennis balls with you and a long sock.If you have a foam roller\, please bring it along. \n \n \n \n \n \n Testimonials\nThank you for your teaching\, for graciously sharing your knowledge… I enjoyed the time sitting\, as your student\, but more than that\, I found the information illuminating.

She has a vast knowledge of the subject matter\, and at the same time applied the spiritual context relating to the anatomy of our spine. The theory was regularly broken up with practical applications that allowed a much fuller understanding of all that was being taught. \nHere is someone who has the ability to playfully bring together a thorough anatomical understanding of Yoga postures\, Yoga physiology\, and Yoga philosophy; all delivered with great skill\, instilling in all of us a beautifully holistic understanding of our spine.

In order to have the stability that prevents injury and that enables us to build strength\, we need a responsive core that we can adapt to the ever-changing environment of the various movements we continuously perform. \nThis work builds a solid foundation for beginners\, is therapeutic for those with injuries and is essential for those wanting to advance their practice to more challenging and complex āsana. \n¨     Rediscover what is needed to have the stable\, responsive core you had as an infant! \n¨     Learn about the 3 diaphragms and how to maximise their efficiency. \n¨     Understand the important differences between your intrinsic and extrinsic\, expanded core. \n¨     Discover the engine that drives your intrinsic core and the secret to stability and building strength. \n¨     Learn specific exercises to assess and revitalise both our inner and expanded\, functional core. \n¨     Explore the extrinsic core and how to most effectively build strength where it matters most. \n¨     Discover your core wisdom\, how to move from the inside out and integrate your limbs into your centre. \n  \nTo enhance your experience\, if you have a foam roller\, inflatable Pilates ball or equivalent\, please bring it along . \n  \nPLEASE NOTE; \n¨     Mantra and chanting are integrated into this Workshop to enhance the topic being taught. \n¨     As there is an anatomical/theory base to the Workshop\, PowerPoint presentations are used as a visual supplement to aid students to better understand and integrate the information presented. \n¨     Digital copies of the mantras and PowerPoint presentation are supplied. \n¨     There is a strong practical component to the Workshop\, which makes the material relevant and applicable. \n¨     These workshops are interactive and questions are encouraged to make the material pertinent to those in attendance.\n \n \n \n \n \n Testimonial\n‘Our Essential Core’ by Dr Monica Gauci is a very thorough exploration of functional breathing\, core theory and anatomy. \nAnything offered by Monica is always layered with spirituality\, chanting\, wisdom\, educational and practical guidance of how to mobilise and strengthen very specific aspects of our anatomy\, in this case\, the core. \nEven if you’re not a yoga student or teacher\, this course will enable you to understand how your body functions and how to effectively and safely mobilise and strengthen your core. \nBig thumbs up from me… thank you so much Monica\, anytime spent with you (even if online) is gold to the quality of my life.\nAdriana\, Australia\n \n \n \n \n \n Bookings\nFor weekend workshop please click here. \n \n BOOK NOW\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Details \n \n\n \n \n Date:\n \n June 4\, 2026 \n \n \n\n \n Time:\n \n \n 6:10 am \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Organiser\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n YOUR INSTRUCTOR\n \n \n \n \n \n Monica is a life-long yogi.

Some say that ‘adjustments’ should be left to chiropractors. As a chiropractor I know and value the profound power of touch that we all have access to. I am passionate to teach yoga teachers how to adjust in a way that educates\, transforms and heals. \nIn this workshop we explore the more complex postures of the Primary Series as well as the postures of the Intermediate Series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. \nMonica draws on adjusting principles from her professional education as a Chiropractor coupled with 44 years of personal yoga practice. This combination gives Monica’s adjustments the wisdom needed to maintain physical integrity whilst developing a relationship of trust. Her adjustments are very effective whilst being anatomically safe and sound. Her insights as a therapist make this workshop powerfully relevant.  \nTouch is the only sense we cannot live without! Touch communicates\, educates and heals. Learn to safely use this vital tool with confidence. \nNOTE: This Workshop can be done as a stand-alone event and is also one of topics of our 300-hour Online Teacher Training. \nThe recorded version will be available after the LIVE/webinar is completed. \n \n \n \n \n \n Testimonial\n“I described Monica’s adjustments as: She comes along and pours love into you” 😊 Ananada\, London UK. \n \n \n \n \n \n Cost/Payment\nPrice in Australian Dollars: AU$249At the time of writing in foreign currency\, this was US$168\, €156\, £133.Students who have previously completed one of our Level 2 Teacher Training can register at a 50% discount.

Likewise it is the influence of our spine\, its central energy channel and energetic centres that enables yoga it to work its ‘magic’. \nIn this workshop we explore the spine as the physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual axis of our body and being. \nA study of the development of our spinal curves reveals the energetic system that is at the core of every yogic technique\, from asana\, to pranayama to meditation. Each curve bows to the cakra at that corresponding level. We explore these energy centres\, how they reflect our spiritual evolution\, emotions and individual expression\, with a view to understand how their gentle activation is what makes the beneficial effects of yogic asana so unique. \nWe look at the architecture of the spine and how its structure determines our functional abilities. The anatomical section aims to educate students to respect differences both within the spine and between individuals. It is these differences that predict varying degrees of limitations and potential in different asanas. \nWe study the ‘stress’ points along our spine and how to reduce these stressors. Here we also look at the passive stabilisation system of ligaments as well as the active stabilisation of the spinal muscles. We examine how the role of segmental stability compliments the role of\nthe muscles that provide larger prime movements. We explore spinal mobilisation techniques and asanas that enhance spinal stability and health as well as practical ways to modify how we perform any asana to spare our spine that it can be healthy and last us for a long lifetime. \nAdditionally\, you will learn a Vedic healing mantra and and a Dhārana on Suṣumna from the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra. The workshop concludes with a Spinal Focus asana class and a Cakra Meditation to revise and help students integrate the material taught within the\nworkshop. \nPlease bring two tennis balls with you and a long sock.\nIf you have a foam roller\, please bring it along. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Testimonial\nThank you for your teaching\, for graciously sharing your knowledge… I enjoyed the time sitting\, as your student\, but more than that\, I found the information illuminating.

Using the rules of Sanskrit grammar you will learn the correct pronunciation giving you a tool to connect to this 10\,000 year old living tradition as we learn a selection of Vedic hymns\, Peace prayers\, Tantric dharanas and Japa mantras. \nEffective Teaching & Presenting Skills \nExplore the role and qualities of the teacher\, intra-class dynamics\, how to communicate clearly\, effectively and compassionately. Learn how to give sophisticated verbal instructions combined with the essential principles of communication to help your students reach their desired goals. Learn to safely and effectively structure\, conduct and deliver asana classes to all levels of students. \nSequencing Asana Classes* \nThe importance of a well-sequenced class and the influence that it has on students and how they will feel during and after class is key. Sequencing is more than just putting some poses together that we think are cool\, creative\, and fun. Sequencing is an art which enhances the flow of Prana\, linking each posture with the breath to encourage a seamless flow. \nPre- & Post Natal Yoga* \nDuring the time of pregnancy a woman’s body goes through a number of physical and emotional changes. Each trimester brings with it changes in the body. Many women experience discomfort\, lower back pain\, restlessness\, lack of sleep\, and loss of self-confidence. Having the tools to execute a well-rounded prenatal yoga sequence can hugely support a women during each stage of her pregnancy. Carmela will present four different sequencing formats to support a pregnant women’s body during each stage\, including post pregnancy. \nTrauma-Aware Yoga \nWith the prevalence of trauma and generalised anxiety in our culture it is important for every teacher to understand what trauma is\, how it can affect us and how to create a safe\, compassionate\, nurturing environment that accommodates the most sensitive student. \nRestorative Yoga \nOur fast paced lives mean we need to be able to regulate our nervous system between its extremes of high alert and low energy. Understanding the poly-vagal theory can give us tools to down-regulate when we are stressed or over-whelmed and to restore when we are exhausted or unwell. We will also apply this theory and learn supportive postures where we can physically\, mentally & emotionally unwind and rejuvenate. \n*Taught by Carmela Lacey \nCarmela has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and has been teaching since 2002. She conveys authenticity in her personality; she has a true passion and creativity for teaching\, wanting to educate and inspire others. Carmela practiced yoga throughout her pregnancy\, completing many hours studying and researching the best way to support women while pregnant and post-pregnancy. Her teaching is supported by ongoing personal practice and exploration of yoga.  \nCourse Material \nAn Act of Giving digital course manual with the mantras and all slide presentations\, as well as a digital copy of Monica’s ‘Ashtanga Yoga: Beginners Course Manual for Teachers’ will be provided. \nEach full day will comprise of 6 hours\, 45 minutes of class time. \nBreakfast and dinner buffets are included in the price. \nTransport is not included. \nThere are various accommodation options. \nTo download a prospectus and application form please click here. \n \n PROSPECTUS & APPLICATION\n \n \n \n \n \n Training Modules\nThis event is part of our European Teacher Training.

It was worth the wait. Such a complete embodiment of a genuine teacher. Knowledge\, wisdom\, kindness\, patience and love. So much love. I’m so inspired and cannot wait to meet her again! And until then I’ll be reflecting on her insights and hearing her beautiful voice chanting the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra. Thank you Monica for giving us all so much ♥️Rowena\, Germany \nWe are all in love with you\, dearest Monica  ❤️.  The energy of joy\, lightness\, sharing you invited us into\, always stays within us all.

In order to have the stability that prevents injury and that enables us to build strength\, we need a responsive core that we can adapt to the ever-changing environment of the various movements we continuously perform. \nThis work builds a solid foundation for beginners\, is therapeutic for those with injuries and is essential for those wanting to advance their practice to more challenging and complex āsana. \n¨     Rediscover what is needed to have the stable\, responsive core you had as an infant! \n¨     Learn about the 3 diaphragms and how to maximise their efficiency. \n¨     Understand the important differences between your intrinsic and extrinsic\, expanded core. \n¨     Discover the engine that drives your intrinsic core and the secret to stability and building strength. \n¨     Learn specific exercises to assess and revitalise both our inner and expanded\, functional core. \n¨     Explore the extrinsic core and how to most effectively build strength where it matters most. \n¨     Discover your core wisdom\, how to move from the inside out and integrate your limbs into your centre.  \n  \nTo enhance your experience\, if you have a foam roller\, inflatable Pilates ball or equivalent\, please bring it along . \n  \nPLEASE NOTE; \n¨     Mantra and chanting are integrated into this Workshop to enhance the topic being taught.  \n¨     As there is an anatomical/theory base to the Workshop\, PowerPoint presentations are used as a visual supplement to aid students to better understand and integrate the information presented.  \n¨     Digital copies of the mantras and PowerPoint presentation are supplied.  \n¨     There is a strong practical component to the Workshop\, which makes the material relevant and applicable.  \n¨     These workshops are interactive and questions are encouraged to make the material pertinent to those in attendance.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Bookings\nFor weekend workshop please click here. \n \n BOOK NOW\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Details \n \n\n \n \n Date:\n \n June 4\, 2026 \n \n \n\n \n Time:\n \n \n 6:10 am \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Organiser\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n YOUR INSTRUCTOR\n \n \n \n \n \n Monica is a life-long yogi.

Likewise it is the influence of our spine\, its central energy channel and energetic centres that enables yoga it to work its ‘magic’. \nIn this workshop we explore the spine as the physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual axis of our body and being. \nA study of the development of our spinal curves reveals the energetic system that is at the core of every yogic technique\, from asana\, to pranayama to meditation. Each curve bows to the cakra at that corresponding level. We explore these energy centres\, how they reflect our spiritual evolution\, emotions and individual expression\, with a view to understand how their gentle activation is what makes the beneficial effects of yogic asana so unique. \nWe look at the architecture of the spine and how its structure determines our functional abilities. The anatomical section aims to educate students to respect differences both within the spine and between individuals. It is these differences that predict varying degrees of limitations and potential in different asanas. \nWe study the ‘stress’ points along our spine and how to reduce these stressors. Here we also look at the passive stabilisation system of ligaments as well as the active stabilisation of the spinal muscles. We examine how the role of segmental stability compliments the role ofthe muscles that provide larger prime movements. We explore spinal mobilisation techniques and asanas that enhance spinal stability and health as well as practical ways to modify how we perform any asana to spare our spine that it can be healthy and last us for a long lifetime. \nAdditionally\, you will learn a Vedic healing mantra and and a Dhārana on Suṣumna from the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra.

You will learn how to practically assess SI joint problems and differentiate them from other sources of low-back and pelvic pain. We will explore and practice important adaptations to seemingly benign yoga postures and hands on adjustments to protect and preserve SI joint stability. We will also cover specific therapy for SI joint pain as well as practical tips on how to avoid injury. \nA digital copy of the PowerPoint slides is provided. The anatomical images and functional knowledge provide a deep understanding of the biomechanics of these joints. The strong practical component will show you how to care for these important joints both on and off your yoga mat. \nDr Monica Gauci brings her vast knowledge and experience as a Yoga Therapist\, a Doctor of Chiropractor and over 40 years of personal yoga practice to this topic. Her insights as a therapist make this workshop powerfully relevant. Her teaching is inspired by her passion to educate others on how they can care for themselves. \nPlease Note\n\nMantra and chanting are integrated into each Workshop appropriate to the topic being taught.\nAs there is an anatomical base to each Workshop\, PowerPoint presentations are used as a visual supplement to aid students to better understand and integrate the information presented.\nHandouts of the chants and presentation are supplied.\nThere is a strong practical component this Workshop\, which makes the material relevant and applicable.\nThese workshops are interactive and questions are encouraged to make the material pertinent to those in attendance.\nA certificate of completion is offered for yoga association continuing education points.\n\n  \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n Bookings\nPlease go to North Sydney Yoga \n \n BOOK NOW\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Details \n \n\n \n \n Date:\n \n June 4\, 2026 \n \n \n\n \n Time:\n \n \n 6:10 am \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Organiser\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n YOUR INSTRUCTOR\n \n \n \n \n \n Monica is a life-long yogi.

It was great to apply and practice on the students. \n – Liz.

It has an ingenious architecture that effects our ability to perform āsana and the health of our whole being. Our modern lifestyle exacerbates the ill effects of poor posture\, mental stress and spiritual discontent and our spine bears the burden of these stressors. Likewise it is the influence of our spine\, its central energy channel and energetic centres that enables yoga to work its ‘magic’. In this workshop we explore the spine as the physical\, mental\, emotional and spiritual axis of our body and being. \nA study of the development of our spinal curves reveals the energetic system that is at the core of every yogic technique\, from asana\, to pranayama to meditation. Each curve bows to the chakra at that corresponding level. We explore these energy centres\, how they reflect our evolution\, emotions and expression\, with a view to understand how their gentle activation is what makes the beneficial effects of yogic āsana so unique. \nWe look at the architecture of the spine and how its structure determines our functional abilities. Here we also look at the passive stabilisation system of ligaments as well as the active stabilisation of the intrinsic and extrinsic spinal muscles. We examine how their role of segmental stability compliments the role of the muscles that provide larger prime movements. \nThe anatomical section aims to educate students to respect differences both within the spine and between individuals. It is these differences that predict varying degrees of limitations and potential in different āsana. We also explore the emotional anatomy of individual muscles\, how our posture reflects our feelings and beliefs and how to use posture to change how we feel. \nWe study the ‘stress’ points of our spine and how to apply therapy to reduce these stressors. We explore spinal mobilisation techniques and āsana that enhance spinal mobility\, strength and health as well as practical ways to modify how we perform any asana to spare our spine that it can be healthy and last us for a long\, agile and comfortable life. \nDay 1 \n\nSpinal Development\, The Cakras & Energetic Anatomy\nMobility\, Function and Passive & Active Stability\nPosture: Thoughts\, Emotions\, Beliefs & Therapy\n\nDay 2 \n\nStress Areas & Therapy To Destress Them\nDisc Disruptions\, Myths & Healing\nAnomalies & Pathologies\nSpinal Therapy Class\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Testimonials\n“It was an absolute pleasure to host Monica for an excellent workshop ‘Our Sacred Spine’.  Every aspect of the workshop was well organized and delivered. Monica managed to keep what could have been a dry and purely anatomical topic\, engaging\, relevant\, interesting\, and insightful. She has a vast knowledge of the subject matter\, and at the same time applied the spiritual context relating to the anatomy of our spine. The theory was regularly broken up with practical applications that allowed a much fuller understanding of all that was being taught.Here is someone who has the ability to playfully bring together a thorough anatomical understanding of Yoga postures\, Yoga physiology\, and Yoga philosophy; all delivered with great skill\, instilling in all of us a beautifully holistic understanding of our spine. A very engaging and fascinating experience\, highly recommended!I am already looking forward to Monica’s next workshop.”Angelika Knoerzer\, Director of North Sydney Yoga\, Australia \nDear Monica\, Now I am able to answer the questions related to “therapy” I receive through my blog. Thank YOU. I had almost zero knowledge of anatomy and therapy before our training\, and they were not my interest (at all… almost). It is very different now:). I hope for another chance to learn from you.
