Style of Yoga

Sunshine Yoga is based on the Hatha Yoga principles. However, over four decades of yoga and health practices and training, I have created my own unique style. My motto is "simplicity" and I invite you to "experience the power of gentleness with Sunshine Yoga & Health".

Sunshine Yoga is a system which unifies and blends body, mind, emotions and soul, using breathing techniques (pranayama), postures (asanas), stretching, relaxation and meditation.

You will begin your one and a half hour Brisbane Yoga session with natural breathing using awareness to develop what we call diaphragmatic breathing. Conscious breathing is emphasised throughout the yoga sessions which will help you release tight and tense muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons. Your breath will massage your organs. Your breath will move qi, prana, life force energy.

Conscious diaphragmatic breathing is a positive and proven stress management tool. Wherever you go you take your breath, so I ask "where would you get a more portable tool to de-stress and become calm"? It really is that simple and it is a technique that works brilliantly - every time. The only downfall is that YOU have to do it.

During your relaxation/meditation time you will experience intensely how breathing techniques switch off your busy mind and allow you to relax.

Sunshine Yoga 's system is wonderful if you are seeking flexibility, tone and strength. A vast variety of postures (asana's) and yoga movements (vinyasa's) will not only create flexibility but will also increase your energy and vitality. Conscious breathing exercises whilst stretching with yoga postures, releases pain and tightness from your body. You will become centred and focused and experience the wonderful feeling of "being in the moment".

Sunshine Yoga participants will tell you how they relax and de-stress just by listening to the soothing and calming voice which I have developed through my own yoga practices.

I guarantee the effectiveness of the wonderful guided relaxations and meditations you are given at the end of each Sunshine Yoga class. I know this time to be the most pleasurable part of the class for the majority of clients. It's called "bliss"! My experience confirms it is true that even after one session of Sunshine Yoga you will feel the positive results. This system benefits so many people, from all walks of life.

Feedback

"My back has always been an issue and the more stretching and exercise I do the less it pains me. The breast cancer is not so new now, it is six years this month, but my arm still gives me trouble. The more stretching and movement, the less pain and the less aching, so I do need to build up slowly again. I enjoyed the session last week, and came home realising it had been far too long since I did yoga and how much I enjoyed it. Just so beneficial for my entire body." - Dianne C, Wavell Heights

"Just wanted to thank you - your classes really make a big difference to me. Thanks for the love that you give us each week. "- Sonda B, New Farm

"I am looking forward to spending more time at your yoga class, sharing in your harmony and good grace." - Mary M, Brighton

"Your class was perfect last night. I must admit yoga hasn't been on my list of priorities over the years but deep down I really wanted to get into it. I enjoyed it last night; you took the time to help me understand the basics which is important. In the past I have done 2 -3 lessons in huge classes that basically gave me the impression it was more related to flexibility." - Jo D, Kangaroo Point

"I just want you to know Lyn how much I enjoy attending your classes and the benefit I receive from them. I always leave feeling a better person - both physically and emotionally. I always sense a feeling of freedom and release after the class and it's wonderful! My gorgeous children also benefit as they have a more grounded and calmer mother caring for them after the class!!!!" - Sue F, Ascot

"I had my last chemo session last Tuesday. This one has hit me pretty hard but I am hopeful I will be able to be at yoga this Friday. I don't think I could have survived chemo without your yoga sessions. I am forever indebted to you. " - Wendy R, Chermside

"Thanks so much Lyn. I really loved your guidance. You create such a beautiful space, thank you! I couldnt believe it when you played Awakenings during the class, it is my favourite cd of all time." - Katie B, Wavell Heights

"Thank you very much for a wonderful yoga session. I enjoyed it immensely. I am focussing on how to 'breathe properly' in my day-to-day life. It makes a remarkable difference when I do! :-). It was a very peaceful experience and much needed." - Katie B, Wavell Heights

I want you to know that I am really grateful you came into my life 2 1/2 years ago... and shown me how to solve some of the problems which occur in my life. I am a stronger person today than the one you met back then. I am much calmer and express my own opinions instead of keeping it bottled up now, and don't take any crap from anybody anymore, all thanks to you." - LOL, Gloria, Aspley

"I just want you to know how much I enjoy attending your classes and the benefit I receive from them. Even though I cannot attend as regularly as I would like, when I do make it, I always leave feeling like a better person - both physically and emotionally. I always sense a feeling of freedom and release after the class and it's wonderful! My gorgeous children also benefit as they have a more grounded and calmer mother caring for them after the class!!!!
I am always amazed at how such gentle postures and movements can do so much and provide so much benefit. Thank you for your superb yoga classes and what you give to all of us each time. " - Sue F, Ascot xoxoxox

"Hi Lyn, First of all I just wanted to thank you for last night's yoga class. It was the first time Sara and I had done yoga and we are both impressed with the general atmosphere of the class. I felt 10 kilos lighter and 10cm taller :) " - Keely, Brisbane

"Thank you for the great yoga class last week. It was incredible how it made me feel. I felt taller when I left! It was a very peaceful and calming session. I will be doing yoga from now in - it's great!! Thank you again for your teach." - Kaz, Thornlands

"I love the clarity and professionalism of your work Lyn" - Nirelle, Brisbane

"I want to let you know how much we enjoyed this mornings session. Annette turned to me after the meditation and said "now that's yoga". I'm sure the hips will be telling me they needed all that exercise. It was amazing how focused I felt and my brain took it all in without so much confusion. And what a beautiful meditation. I didn't want to come down from my cloud." - Jo, Nundah

"I really acknowledge the benefits of yoga practice and thank you so much for the Sunshine you add as our instructor and guide." - Robyn, Capalaba

"Thank you for the tuition you have given me during my pregnancy. The postures, the breathing and the meditation have been greatly welcomed at this time and has proven beneficial in just a few weeks." - Meg, Capalaba
