Raja Yoga - Online Course
This course, facilitated by Wendy Dixon, explores the concepts and exercises in Wallace Slater’s book *A Simplified Course of Raja Yoga*, which follows the Yoga Sutras or Aphorisms of Patanjali.
We meet online every Wednesday night and follow the 10-lesson structure created by Slater, allowing a month for each lesson. We will thoroughly explore each step, with time for discussion and practice.
Each session contains material on one or more of the eight limbs of yoga, so named by Patanjali - self-restraint (yama), self-discipline (niyama), posture (āsana), control of breath (prānayāma), control of the sense (pratyāhāra), concentration (dhāranā), meditation (dhyāna) and contemplation (samādhi).
Additional material is sourced from I. K. Taimni, Swami Vivekananda, H. P. Blavatsky and contemporary Raja Yoga books.
We begin and close each session with sitting meditations.
**This is an ongoing course that you can join at any time.**

BEGINNER WORKSHOP: GRILLZ JEWELLERY
GRILLZ LAB INTRO TO CUSTOM GRILLZ JEWELLERY
Hosted by Marie Grillz
This hands on workshop introduces the creative process behind custom grillz as a form of wearable jewellery sculpture.
Participants will learn how artists design and prototype grillz using wax-carving techniques commonly used in jewellery manufacturing.
The session focuses on wax material experimentation and translating a personal aesthetic into a wearable metal object.
You will be working on a pre-made dental plaster impression provided for practice.
If you wish to create a personal impression of your own teeth, you may choose to take a mould of your own teeth prior to the workshop.
* This must be performed by a professional dentist. Please contact Marie if you require assistance finding a dentist.
This workshop is intended for creative education and jewellery making and not a dentistry course.
About Your Instructor:
Jennifer is the designer and grillz artist behind Marie Grillz.
With a Bachelor in Fashion Enterprise, Fashion Design, Jewellery manufacturing, and mentorship from an established Australian grillz jeweller, Jennifer specialises in translating fashion aesthetics into precious metal mouth jewellery.
Jennifer’s main research during her university degree was exploring body adornment. Taking this into her jewellery career, her art sits between fashion accessory and body adornment, and she will be teaching the same creative prototyping methods she uses in her studio practice.
What You’ll Do:
You will create a wax prototype for a grillz jewellery piece the stage used by jewellers before metal casting.
Workshop Outline:
* Welcome & Intro
* Overview of the session
* History of Grillz
* Looking at sample grillz styles
* Discuss design possibilities, materials, and what’s achievable in wax
* Pouring plaster moulds to get a good impression mould
* Wax melting and carving for grillz
* Troubleshooting fitting issues
Important Details:
* All participants work on pre-made models, not their own teeth.
* The metal grillz piece is decorative only and will NOT fit your teeth.
* If you wish to bring your own model, it is your responsibility to arrange this with a licensed dental professional not with Marie grillz
* This workshop is for beginners only — polishing, metal casting, or dental impression work will not be taught, though relevant information will be shared.
* All activities are creative and jewellery-focused.
FAQ
What do I need to bring?
* A notebook (optional, if you like jotting things down)
* Positive energy and an open mind ✨
Dress code:
* Comfortable clothing you don’t mind getting dirty
* Closed toe flat shoes only (no sandals or heels)
* Bring a hair tie if you have long hair
Experience level:
The workshop is beginner-friendly and guided step by step, so whether it’s your first time or you’ve worked with jewellery before, you’ll be supported throughout.
What you will receive at the end of the workshop:
* Grillz in person workshop notes
* Grillz booklet on how to make grillz and everything I’ve learnt during my journey in the industry
Take home two creations:
1. Your wax model
2. A decorative metal grillz piece made from your wax design
