Ill be teaching two of my favourite Soundmoves classes back to back on Sunday April 21 Embody Hot Yoga Marion

Soundmoves Hot-Vinyasa at 4 pm and Restorative at 5:30 pm.

Here is a lovely testimonial from someone who attended last month. Thank you if you recognise your words!

"This was such a beautiful experience, my body went through so many phases! I left smiling and feeling so thankful to my self for booking in the class. Wonderful instructor, calm voice and took the time to explain all the phases and the purpose of each breath, movement and flow. Will definitely be working this into my routine!"

Facilitator - Noah Mckenna

Noah Mckenna is researcher at the University of Adelaide studying the impact of breathing exercises and vagal tone on autonomic health. His professional background includes twenty years as a Yoga therapist and teacher trainer based in India. The Soundmoves method takes music as a guide for pacing respiration and integrates various modalities into a seamless experience. As an instructor Noah has the gift of distilling essential information and conveying it with simplicity.

Are you a yoga teacher in Australia who works with sound, with breath or with trance ? Ive been asked to run professional development for the SA Branch of the Australian Psychological Society and I would like to offer the same traning to the Yoga community.

In case you are not familiar with my work check out the soundmoves website or FB page. Basically my career extends over 30 years but these days I am a researcher at University of Adelaide where I study the impact of trance, breath, movement on heart-mind connectivity.

The next Soundmoves Day training happens Saturday, April 06 at a lovely private studio in Basket Range. Its $220 for a daytime training and certification is available for professional development via IAYT, Yoga Alliance and Yoga Australia. There is room for 18 participants.

Day Workshop:
This PD session looks at how the poly-vagal theory characterises discrete autonomic states through the
lens of heart-mind connections in the vagal systems. Poly-vagal theory takes a bottom up view that
considers consciousness an emergent property that is greatly influenced by physiological functions such
as breath rate and heart rate. Focussing in on the research into heart rate variability biofeedback we will
see how optimum breathing provides a gentle path towards emotional stability and interoceptive
sensitivity. It has been known for millenia that soft slow breathing helps to cultivate the "right kind of
attention". More recently mapping of vagal pathways has illuminated the therapeutic benefits of cardio-
respiratory stimulation.
Putting theory into practice the day is interspersed with skills development sessions where we learn to
orient to safe mode using the Soundmoves method. Noah Mckenna has decades of experience training
Yoga teachers to facilitate a deep and non-verbal experience for others.

Three Learning Outcomes::
1. Develop the ability to guide a person towards emotional stability using breath and
music.
2. Deepen the understanding of Poly-Vagal Theory
3. Understand how the vagal system connects body and mind.
