Symbology is —derived from Greek word, “Symbolon” which means to join, reunite or “bring back together” 
—Originally referred to the 2 halves of an object which 2 parties broke & later brought back together again.
When restored & “thrown together” with its partner it became whole.This Re-Union reflects Completion, Health, Healing, Wholeness and Resolution.
Hence a symbol suggests both incompleteness and the hinting Power of Secret Meaning, Reunion and Oneness.

Mythology is a wise and stunningly insightful way of identifying traits within our Human Psyche that reveal Truthful and often concealed aspects of ourselves (e.g. undeveloped/unexpressed parts of ourselves or shadow aspects), bringing these to the foreground of our Consciousness and into the Light. These parts often illuminate our hearts and minds and turn that, which is often heavy and leaden, into something Radiant, Light and Gold.

The Myths are infused with archetypes which translate our human experience into a Universal Language of the Heart, and one of the beauties of Mythology is that they are open to our own interpretation and our souls way of deciphering the messages that speak Truth to our Heart and our Soul.

The Yogic Myths have been passed down for 1000’s of years and are filled with Great Wisdom and Truth, still relevant today, emphasising Universal messages of Hope, Union, Power, Service, Beauty, Joy and Love

During this 4 day Morning Yoga Intensive we will be exploring and unpacking the most powerful Myths and pivotal Archetypal Gods and Goddesses, there qualities, gifts, weaknesses/flaws and Divine Archetypal attributes that express themselves through us.

Come engage in a deep and every expanding philosophical conversation through the practice of Yoga exploring these Divine Deities and Archetypes within. 
·       Participants and Students will be able to unpack and explore the Universal messages that lay embedded and infused within the Yogic and Hindu Myths.
·       Explore ways that we can translate and transpose the teachings and Messages into our current lives… revealing the Joy, Light, Love, and Hope available to us.
·       Find ways to take our struggles, challenges and “dark times” in our lives and Find the Light and Illuminating lesson within them.
·       It will help with our relationships, not only with others, but more importantly with ourselves.
·       For Yoga teachers it will deepen their understanding of the yogic myths and tales, and discover ways in which they may be able to translate those into their day to day lives, and assist their students to do the same, through their classes and teaching.
·       Ultimately bring us to a space of Higher Consciousness and Divine Love…

So if you have been going through a challenging or dark time and wishing to see the Light, are wanting to understand deeper aspects of your Psyche, or simply are interested in the Mythological aspects of Yoga and their relevance to us today, then this is the intensive for you!

Each Morning will be filled with both dynamic and restorative yoga asana, pranayama, music, inspirational stories and tales, deep personal self enquiry( svadhyaya), and Yogic Philosophical teachings through Myths in a joyful uplifting way,
You can be certain there will be Humour and Laughter weaved into our practice and storytelling …one of the BEST tonics for the Soul!

All else will be provided including handouts, with informative and wonderful tips to continue your journey…

Come join me for these 4 Mornings and share in this beautiful never-ending and illuminating conversation with your Soul”

3 Day Early Morning Intensive

The color green is the color of balance and harmony and is the great balancer of the emotions, creating equilibrium between the head and the heart. Green is also the color of growth, the color of spring, of renewal and rebirth. It renews and restores depleted energy. It is the sanctuary away from the stresses of modern living, restoring us back to a sense of well being. This is why there is so much of this relaxing color on the earth, and why we need to keep it that way. Green is an emotionally positive color, giving us the ability to love and nurture ourselves and others unconditionally. A natural peacemaker, it relates to the counselor, the good listener, the social worker. It loves to contribute to society. It is the charity worker, the good parent and the helpful neighbor. Green promotes a love of nature, and a love of family, friends, pets and the home. It is the color of the garden lover, the home lover and the good host. It is generous and loves to share, and is the color of prosperity and abundance.

Green is the heart centre of the body.

Positive Effects of Green:
Rejuvenating: The color green revitalizes us when we are physically, mentally or emotionally exhausted.
Nurturing: Because of its link with the heart, green urges us to nurture ourselves and others. Green is also nurturing to us – another reason why it is the most predominant colour on earth.

The Colour Red

4-Day Early Morning Yoga Intensive
with Andrew Mournehis

When:       Tuesday 22nd – Friday 25th January 2013
Time:         6.30am-8.15am
Location:  Breathing Space Yoga Studio, 217 Chapel St. Prahran
Investment:  $125 Full/ $110 conc

INFUSED WITH GREAT GROUNDING POWER… RED IS A COLOUR OF MANIFESTATION, GROUNDING, SECURITY, PRACTICALITY, POTENTIAL, PURPOSE, PROSPERITY, PASSION and PLAY….

COMING FROM A TANTRIC YOGA TRADITION,  colour, the elements and the use of colour in our healing and energetic fields has played an integral and vital role, and over the years I have frequently worked with colour in order to promote and enhance energies in our Pranic fields and lift the vital energy centres of our Being. A sometimes neglected and very often “out of balance” energy centre is the Base chakra, particularly in relation to the other energy centres ( chakras ), particularly in the areas of security, stability, money/ finances, the physical world and most importantly with regards to the KUNDALINI SHAKTI SERPENT which lays dormant awaiting its reuniting and union with its Divine consort SHIVA (Pure Consciousness and Awareness)
It is relationship between the base chakra and the crown (the Chakra of Awakening, Spirituality and Unity ) that is crucial in our evolutionary awakening and when we can discover that we are Spiritual Divine Beings in this Physical manifestation called a “Human Being”, then we can awaken more powerfully to our True Spiritual Purpose (dharma) here on the great Mother Earth and find practical and life affirming ways of expressing that in the world. The colour red ignites and awakens……..

What does the colour red invoke within you ???
Come explore this powerful primary colour…

“The color red is a warm and positive color associated with our most physical needs and our will to survive. It exudes a strong and powerful energy. Red is energizing. It excites the emotions and motivates us to take action. It signifies a pioneering spirit and leadership qualities, promoting ambition and determination. It is also strong-willed and can give confidence to those who are shy or lacking in will power.
Being the color of physical movement, the color red awakens our physical life force. It is the color of sexuality and can stimulate deeper and more intimate passions in us, such as love and sex on the positive side or revenge and anger on the negative. It is often used to express love, as in Valentine’s Day, however it relates more to sexuality and lust, rather than love – love is usually expressed with pink (A combination of Red and White). Being surrounded by too much of the color red can cause us to become irritated, agitated and ultimately angry. Too little and we become cautious, manipulative and fearful.
In Eastern cultures such as China red is the color for good luck and in the Indian culture it symbolizes purity.” Excerpt from “Colour psychology to empower and Inspire you”

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU WEAR THE COLOUR RED TO THIS INTENSIVE
Each Morning will be filled with  Dynamic and Restorative Yoga Asana, Pranayama, Philosophy, Tantric and Esoteric teachings on the Power of the Colour Red and the energetic colour spectrum. Classes will be accompanied  by Inspiring Music, Poetry,Prose and Visual imagery/Art, Creative visualisations and Meditations, Svadhyaya (Deep Personal Self Enquiry) and practical teachings toward taking steps towards manifesting our Goals and living our Dharma in this new Aquarian age of awakening.

PLEASE BRING A YOGA MAT IF YOU HAVE ONE, A JOURNAL AND A PEN. All else will be provided including useful practical and informative handouts. This Intensive will be a crucial for all those of you wishing to bring your visions, dreams and aspirations into physical manifestation and form, and Live your Purpose with Great Vigour, Passion and Potency.

A PERFECT WAY to welcome in “THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE” whose SIGNATURE colour is RED. 
I Truly Hope you can join us!
