BeCalm Yourself 5-Week Series
5 classes / 5 weeks
BeCalm Yourself is a popular series of five beautiful, gentle, easy and relaxing classes to find the experience of calm in a hectic world. The effects of each class will ripple through your week. Plus, you’ll be supported to create your own home practice that you can use for life.
Includes gentle and supportive restorative yoga, yin yoga, breath work and the stunning guided meditation of MindRest (Yoga Nidra) — giving your body a chance to deeply rest and heal. No yoga experience necessary.
Weekly extra support off the mat by way of audio, video and reading resources.
Finishes with an audio recording of your own personal home practice.
Maximum of four people in each class but usually two or three.
Bring one or two friends and create your own class at a time that suits.
Why do a series instead of casual classes? The benefits of these beautiful practices happen over time. You are more likely to get these benefits if you sign up for a series. It’s taken you a lifetime to get here. Trust us - you will look forward to these classes all week. And they will stay with you long after the last class.
Relaxation on happens in the present moment.
EXTRA SUPPORT
These classes are fully supported with opportunities for discussion and practical and scientific information. Topics include good sleep, the relaxation response, the stress response, and awareness. You’ll receive guided audio for you to listen to during and after the series. This audio includes an 8-stage Yoga Nidra guided meditation practice. You will also have access to other home practice videos and recordings.
Rest is where you can be yourself.

-
Relax the body to relax the mind. Simple and easy restorative and yin yoga postures, breathing practice, simple meditation, and Yoga Nidra. Find a little bit more comfort. Postures are adjusted to suit you.
-
Our breath is the bridge between our body and mind. It can either calm us or depower us. One of the easiest ways to feel better is through the breath. Re-learning to breathe is our second step to finding our inner calm.
-
Release on the outbreath. When life is tough we hold so much tension. Just by finding ways to release tension (physical and mental) we can feel ourselves in a different place. To be and do more, sometimes we just need to release what we are holding, one breath at a time.
-
Let go of effort and discover silence and stillness. Flow this mental and physical rest into lovely calm. You’ll take this imprint of calm with you because you are retraining the brain to let go and rest - anywhere, anytime.
-
Create your own lovely home practice. Choose elements of meditation, breath work, restorative and yin yoga, Yoga Nidra recordings, and other discoveries. Practice at home, the car, at work - even on the loo!
Calm Life
Sunday afternoon casual classes for a deeper yoga exploration. For those who have completed a BeCalmed Yourself 5-week series or experienced a few MindRest (Yoga Nidra). How can you get still and quiet enough to feel what does not change inside you? This is explored and practiced in Calm Life classes. .
Calm Life practices are where yoga comes into its own - the union between our body and mind, between our internal world and the world around us. Yoga is the experience of peace and connection, no matter what is going on. Deepen your experience of calm so that you begin to feel changes in your life. Calm body. Calm Mind. Calm Life. These classes will also give you a regular practice to strengthen what you already know. As you change, so will the world around you.
Practices that support this shift include meditation, MindRest (Yoga Nidra), restorative and yin yoga, pranayama and the other 7-limbs of yoga, mudra, and the experience of om chanting.
Topics include: the three Gunas; resting as source; restful awareness; etches of your being; turn yourself home; sound healing vibes; satchitananda; obstacles to practice; and thoughts to action. Your body tells your mind how to behave - change your mind!
DATES // Sundays 4pm-5.30pm.
CLASS DURATION// 90 minutes
VENUE // BeCalmed Studio, Titahi Bay, Porirua, Wellington
COST // $28 per class, including a growing library of yoga philosophy and practice recordings and resources. Koha can be discussed.
