Did you miss the mini yoga retreat on Sunday the 20th of September? Never mind there’ll be another in October. We have a day of yoga, meditation and massage on the 3rd Sunday of the month which runs in conjunction with the free Sunday yoga class as Fradgley Hall in Burleigh Heads.
It’s hard to say what the highlight of the day is, whether it’s the shared massage at the end, the beautiful meditation led by Yadu with his velvety voice or maybe the delicious lunch cooked by his wife Monica. There’s certainly something for everyone: yoga asanas, relaxation, the chance to make new friends, eat delicious food and the opportunity to start or continue our spiritual journey.
This month’s massage was shared reflexology. A reflexology massage only involves massaging either the feet, hands or ears and because there are so many nerve endings in these places it is said to have a wonderful effect throughout the whole body. Amara led us through a simplified routine to massage the feet that was designed to be both soothing and stimulating to many other parts of the body from the pituitary gland deep within our head to the neck, liver, kidneys, digestive system and lower back. In fact after the foot massage many of us commented how we felt like we’d just had a full body massage!
So now we know how relaxing it is to get our feet massaged and also we have the ability to give this wonderful gift to a friend or family member.
