After another of our Ayurvedic Detox Workshop with Dr. Mahesh, I am reminded of the intricate connection between mind, body and spirit. After feeling stressed from the never ending technical education one has to receive to run a business these days, dealing with some personal issues and generally feeling low on energy, perhaps a low-lying […]
After massaging for more than 30 years I have observed the clients that come regularly and after coming in at least twice per month they have improved their general wellbeing by at least 50% if not more. The immune, nervous & circulation systems are not as compromised, the muscular & skeletal systems relax & there is an overwhelming sense […]
A piece of Wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings : “Rather than be striving always for personal happiness, try to make others happy. In being of spiritual, mental, & material service to others, you will find your own needs fulfilled. As you forget self in service to others, you will find that without seeking it your […]
Well, the weather gets a little warm, amazing sunny fresh days, teasing us, then… alas it’s bitter cold again. Still there are signs of spring buds on the trees & jonquils are out in our garden. We start to emerge from the winter where we were more inward. As a healer I meditate each morning, […]

Well the Melbourne Cup has come and gone and already it feels like the run- up to Christmas has begun. Unlike in the northern hemisphere, Christmas in Australia coincides with the end of the school year and the long holiday break. Life, therefore, is busy, busy, busy as we try to get work tidied up for […]
“The Sun has got his hat on hip, hip, hip, hooray” —- all together now. Isn’t it amazing how much better we feel when the sun comes out and we can turn our faces skyward and let warmth trickle down into our bodies and souls. Now we can begin to remove a couple of layers […]
Spring has once more brought the promise of warmth and growth and we instinctively feel one season end and a new one begin. Here at the Karma Studio we have been running a very successful program of Seasonal Yoga Workshops. These workshops emphasise poses which activate specific organs and meridian lines appropriate to the season and its element. Autumn for instance […]
I recently went to the Opening of an interesting Art Exhibition called a Show of Hands on at Chapel off Chapel for the next couple of weeks. In it the artist Jacqui Grantford paints the hands of a range of people – old, young, famous, everyday – and beside each painting is the subject’s personal story many of […]
