Testimonial from Recent Retreat
"Lyn has a profound way with every individual where she reaches out and uses her unique intuition to touch the souls of her clients. I connected with her the day I made the telephone enquiry and knew I had to experience one of her retreats.
She allows you to be 'in the moment' ..every moment.. to leave your troubles at home and embark on your own spiritual journey if that is the case.
The yoga instruction was extensive and I loved the variety provided through out the weekend. She has inspired me to chase my dream and become a yoga teacher so I can touch the souls of others just like she touched mine! A beautiful spirit!" - Lauren D...Vic 2009
With 50 years of experience and expertise, Lyn Thomas, founder and manager of Sunshine Yoga & Health, presents a gentle but powerful approach to yoga which is impacted with tradition and authenticity.
Sunshine Yoga has become an authentic style in its own right. It can be mostly likened to hatha yoga. With an influence of many styles Lyn has experienced over the years it has given her a unique and beautifully flowing system she calls Sunshine Yoga.
Specific conscious breathing is a strong focus and is involved with all asanas, vinyasas, relaxations and meditation. A touch of qigong and tai chi has recently been added to its structure.
Yoga is now recognized world wide as a form of
preventative therapy
Doctors, specialists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, counsellors and other qualified practitioners are now recommending its use.
There are many styles of yoga to chose from these days, such as • hatha yoga • iyengar yoga • ashtanga yoga • bikram yoga • dru yoga • karma yoga • gita yoga, to name but a few. All styles present with varying positive aspects which bring health and harmony to one's being.
Hatha Yoga Definitions & What is Yoga?
A Hatha Yoga Definition would be "an age-old tried and true system that really works". Hatha yoga integrates body, mind, emotions and soul through breath, gentle body work, meditation and relaxation. You will experience the "power of gentleness" with Sunshine Yoga. You will understand the "power of simplicity" with Sunshine Yoga.
A general overall definition of Sunshine Yoga would be: conscious awareness using yoga poses, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and meditation as a way to balance and integrate body, mind, emotions and soul.
