Yoga Classes & Workshops

* This weekly event is every Thursday evening- same time, same place.- Try guided meditation and you will feel relaxed and refreshed. The simple techniques of Sahaja Yoga Meditation discovered by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi will allow you to unwind wherever you are and whenever you want. Sahaja Yoga meditation involves no 'yoga' postures. Sahaja means 'born with' and yoga actually means 'union'. We are all born with the potential of being in union with the all pervading power of love. In a Sahaja Yoga workshop you will experience several simple methods to easily access and feel the state of your subtle body - your chakras and subtle energy channels. You will then be shown how to realise the potential that lies hidden in you. No special clothes or equipment needed. Free and without any obligation. Experience the inner peace and bring your friends along. [http://www.sahajayogavic.com/](http://www.sahajayogavic.com/) For more info: Colin - 0419 308 212
