Yoga with Alice Caulfield

👩‍🎓As of today I am certified and registered with the Thai government and Australian Massage Association to professionally perform traditional Thai Massage ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
✨Traditional Thai Massage (known in the West as Thai Yoga Massage) is an ancient healing system using a combination of acupressure and Indian Ayurvedic principles. It uses passive stretching through assisted yogic postures and gentle pressure along the body’s energy lines to increase flexibility, relieve muscle and joint tension and rebalance through the body’s energy system ⁣⁣⁣

Never stop learning, growing and challenging yourself ✨

Most bizarre feeling knowing that my first stop I will be greeted at the airport by family in my hometown London (sorry it’s taken me 11 years to come back) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 🇱🇧 🇹🇷

Cook School is a specialised school working with students from K-12 experiencing behavioural difficulties and mental health conditions. The past 6 weeks I had the opportunity to implement a Yoga program as part of the PDHPE syllabus
It has been inspiring to witness the teachers unconditional positive regard and approach to dealing with challenging behaviours. They work tirelessly with individualised learning plans to help reintegrate students back into mainstream schools.
Building each students resilience,
social competencies and engagement with the curriculum along the way
I had so much teaching the students & watching them go from initially hating the idea of learning Yoga~ to being fully engaged and attentive. Witnessing their enthusiasm and curiosity grow as they begin to understand their body and minds a little bit more each time they practice Yoga 🙏

Forever grateful for this land & my parents choice to migrate three (very unwilling) children to Australia so we could find ‘home’ so close to places that are now my definition of paradise 🇦🇺💜🌞
