Rolfing structural integration has an unequalled and unprecedented ability to dramatically alter a person’s posture and structure.  Rolfing is for you if… you are experiencing chronic pain and stiffness, recovering from trauma or postural imbalance. You have tried every other modality and nothing seemed to work. You are ready to embark on a treatment program that will enable long-term change in the way you feel and move. Rolfing is delivered in a series of 8-12 sessions spaced one or two weeks apart. This treatment program fascilitates not only a decrease in pain and stiffness but also improved body awareness, graceful movement and a generally happier body. More info on Rolfing.

Manual Therapy is for you if… have acute neck, shoulder or back pain. You need some attention to your body after a too much time at the computer, in the garden, after a sporting activity or a long plane flight. You want to feel looser and deeply relaxed. Manual Therapy is like massage but more effective because it treats more than just the muscles. Joint position, postural alignment and appropriate muscular tone are all considered in Manual Therapy sessions.

Movement Therapy is for you if… you want to learn about how your body moves and how to look after it. Together we will develop a series of exercises for you to do at home or work that is individually tailored to suit your needs. Discover how movement can be effortless and fun. Improve your coordination, muscular control and core strength.

Nestled at the foothills of the Otway Ranges and less than two hours
drive from Melbourne is the King Parrot Retreat Centre. Set in 200
acres of bushland and rain forest, accommodation features gorgeous
architecturally designed, self-contained cottages.

These weekend retreats are a wonderful opportunity to practice
prenatal yoga with your partner. Experience the many ways yoga

childbirth. Classes focus on the techniques that contribute to active
labour and birth.

The yoga classes are held in a relaxed, lighthearted atmosphere, with
the emphasis on making the teachings of yoga for active birth very
accessible and relevant. In between classes, there will be plenty of

accommodated.

Lujan Matus’ Dragon’s Tears is a timeless form that flows like water,
generating powerful and soothing energy which courses in and around the
body. The life force that is accessed when practicing this movement series
is immediately tangible and the effects may be perceived, for example, as an
intense burn in the legs that rises through the body and transforms into a
sensation of calm vitality.

Regular practies of Dragon’s Tears will dramatically impact your life,
clearing stagnant energy and strengthening the body as well as enhancing
perception, health and longevity.

Visually the fluidity of the form bears some resemblance to ancient Chinese
Qi Gong and Kung Fu styles but it has its own distinctive power.  Once you
reach a level of fluidity with the practise, your body will appear to be
rotating on many axes at once, yet the directional path of each movement
will remain clear and unbroken from the central point to the extremities.

Compliment the practice of Dragon’s Tears with a morning Yoga and Meditation
practice and an optional evening Yin-Style Yoga session aimed at continuing
to promote the flow of energy through the body’s energetic pathways,
releasing stored tension and cultivating a greater sense of clarity and
wholeness within the body, the mind, and the heart.

Dragon’s Tears with the Nagual Lujan Matus
My name is Lujan Matus. The lineage that I am immersed in is based on the
transmission of awareness that is found in the deepest reservoirs of one’s
heart. Connecting us; individually and collectively, on the level of
intention. The Dragon’s Tears series is the first part of an ancient
movement and energetic practice which I was introduced to more than 25 years
ago. Until recently these powerful and sacred practices were never made
available to the public. I now offer this teaching to you.

Yoga with Rachael Freeland
Rachael completed her teacher training with the Australian Institute of Yoga
Therapy (CAE) and is an accredited member of the YTAA (Yoga Teacher’s
Association of Australia). She also has a professional background in
psychology and counseling. After combining these two passions, Rachael
became inspired by the healing power of yoga and went on to gain formal
qualifications in Yoga Therapy.

Rachael’s style of yoga has been greatly influenced by the principles of
integrated structure and movement, and most recently Lujan Matus whose
teachings have cultivated a deeper awareness of how to access and contain
energy and take the practice of yoga to increasingly subtle levels. The
practice incorporates flowing sequences and longer hold times aimed at
establishing a greater sense of wholeness and connection within the
body,drawing our attention inwards toward the stillness within so that we
may more clearly hear the voice of our heart.
