It may not be immediately apparent but the word ‘Yoga’ means such a wide variety of things depending on the person you are speaking with.

It seems these days that everyone has their own idea of what yoga is, whether they are a person who practices daily, one who has practiced here and there, or someone who has never rolled out a yoga mat.

We offer a range of different classes at Raw Wellbeing to suit the different needs of those who wish to practice with us,

All our classes and instructors have a foundation in a Trauma Aware approach - this means we understand everybody is different - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Trauma Informed practices are supportive for all of us as we navigate the unavoidable challenges, stress and trauma of daily life.

This means our classes always offer variations, regressions, progressions, choice and invitation. We are here to guide and support.

Raw 2.0 - 'Raw Wellbeing studio' will have its grand opening day on Saturday the 18th of February,

We will kick off the day with two classes and then have open doors for anyone to come and see us, enjoy a cup of tea and get the feel for our new boutique space back in Milford.

Through the exploration of Yogic practices as well as Energy Medicine/Psychology techniques, it became an embodied truth that we as humans are much more than mere machines.

The process of self reflection is more aligned with a lifestyle.

We become more self Aware.

Self Awareness leads to more alignment with our purpose, better boundaries, more ease through relationships, greater self worth and the list could go on and on.

One of the greatest things I believe we can do for ourselves, and others is to become more self aware. To actually invest time and energy into learning about who we really are and how we interact in the world.

I think the biggest hurdle for people is why.

Why would I start to look at my life in a different way?

I believe some of us are born with all the dots connected.

Over time some of us end up following this inner voice to gain the insight and knowledge of what this big picture feeling is.

There is a sense, a feeling, even sensations that hold this wisdom in the body. They speak a silent language of what the world, and even the universe is about.

Yet we go to school, we listen to our families and friends and slowly fall in line with what we are being told, of what the so-called ‘normal’ must be.

We live in a world filled with polarising views and opinions that can feel like a whirlwind of confusion.

I would suggest that confusion itself can lead us down an interesting path of self destruction.

Confusion at first glance may seem innocent, yet in actual fact it can be a state in which we continually deny ourselves the truth.

Truth in itself can seem elusive, for many of us we may believe truth is subjective.

Modern Yoga has become like therapy for a lot of us - far from the traditional goal of gaining enlightenment - most are looking for a tool to help us stay sane.

Which sends me spiralling into thought... Where has all the sanity gone? Since the rise of scientific materialism and the church betraying us one too many times, where is it safe to turn? Many of us are and have turned towards New Age Spirituality… and high up on that list is a Yoga practice.

Ahimsa, a concept that on the surface seems relatively simple, NO Violence.

​I believe most of us in the yoga world can comfortably say we are non-violent humans (which I might add is awesome!) I have a lot of respect for my friends who are out there fighting for the 'little guy' and doing their best everyday to make a difference, whether it be for animal rights, human equality, or protecting the environment. At times though these battles can be overwhelming and lead to a state of defeat and confusion. While others having this knowledge of Ahimsa can be lead to a false sense of hierarchy, entering them into a 'guru' like state of feeling bigger and more profound than everyone else. Either way the line is thin and for the most part, pretty grey.
