Abode Healing Yoga is a purpose of Yoga through Asana, not simply the asana based teaching of Yoga. It is a practice of Yoga, under the Healing Nature of Reiki & Cosmic Body Work, which are modalities of Healing, Conscious Therapy & Awakening, for life to flow naturally with ease. You will be taught through moving self's psychological teachings, conscious self awareness methodology and a mindful healing approach that is individually focused, to provide pathways for you to experience and evolve as well as be able to share with others in a class manner, 1 on 1 or within a therapy based session. It is through the process of this practice that you will learn to engage the energetic body with the physical body to align the mind, body, and spirit. The Abode Yoga Practices' foundation is based upon Yoga Psychology, Reiki Healing, Mind body Medicine & Self Health Education. This is achieved through movement, that is connected by the breath, and is communicated through sound and music to allow you to speak the language of the internal self. The primary focus is healing, balancing and activating mentally, physically, emotionally and energetically, while soothing senses artistically, leaving you peacefully smiling from head to toe, just as you are.
Reiki is an ancient natural healing form and formless process of self-development therapy that was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui of Japan in the late 1800′s when he developed the “Usui system of natural healing.” Reiki refers to the ‘life force energy’ that is constantly evolving and flowing within ourselves and the world around us; the flow of Reiki within us helps to connect and balance our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. This system of energetic healing is now being taught throughout the world as a way to aid individuals in finding internal harmony by promoting self-awareness and the ability to utilize the mind and body to align with the higher self. Reiki healing can also be useful in pain management; reducing stress, anxiety, and depression; and facilitating the body’s natural healing process. Abode Yoga utilizes the healing principles of energy and its psychology to enable a deep understanding and connection with the whole body and its various dimensions. The movements of the body release negative energy and cultivate positive energy and can help guide you to enable you to create your own individual form of therapy and healing living practice though movement.
Abode Healing Yoga incorporates Yogic Mind-Body disciplines & Astrological Movement Psychology Therapy. The physical postures and series of movements in Abode Healing Yoga are based on the idea that movement has meaning. In yoga, each movement or posture that we create not only affects our physical body but also has a mental, emotional, and energetic significance. The idea that our physical actions are a reflection of our emotional and energetic state is not unique to yoga, but it is also a concept that is studied by sport psychologists, actors and dance performers, and has been formulated into a system of therapy by psychologists who call themselves Movement/Dance Therapists.
The purpose of Abode Healing Yoga is to use these concepts from yoga, mind body medicine and movement therapy so that our bodies become a tool through which we can create internal harmony and use our own unique energy to heal and enhance ourselves. Each Abode Healing Yoga series incorporates yoga postures, movements, breath work, imagery and meditative practices in order to connect the whole body, stimulate positive energy, and increase overall fitness. Each Abode Healing Yoga session is created with the intention of releasing specific negative energies/thoughts/emotions and cultivating positive ones in their place.
Abode Healing Yoga as its own practice and form that unfolds through our philosophical & spiritual touch, through a 7 dimensional pathway derived from the LEAF Mindset Channel, a sociological based living self & life guide continum, created by founder Randall Simpson, using 4 directions of life to liberate the individual out of the 5 main causes of suffering with human being. In Abode Healing Yoga we use the body as a tool to heal these sufferings through all 5 layers of our being, to find home, within all four seasons of life in love. We ensure each practice and form of Abode Healing Yoga is taught, experienced & practiced reflecting our core nature “Of Source, Without Force” Which withholds 3 aspects; human being care, nurture and love.
Although Abode Healing Yoga has specific objectives, it never loses its sense of fun and freedom. You are encouraged to be creative with your movements so that they truly express your personal style and unique qualities. Abode Healing Yoga Asana enhances physical alignment and self adjusting progression that is all-inclusive & is suited for individuals of all ages and capabilities. The movements are designed to progress levels of inner and outer strength, flexibility, openness, in a safe and effective manner. Abode Healing Yoga Teachers are trained in how to modify movements for people with different levels of nature and the expressive exercises are designed to help you enhance overall wellbeing and correct imbalances caused by lifestyle choices & stresses.

5 Causes of Suffering (Kleshas)
- Avidya – (ignorance) – this is the misconception of our true reality, believing that the temporary is eternal, the impure is pure, and pleasure to be painful. This is a false representation root of the 4 other causes of suffering.
- Asmita – ( I – am – ness) is the identification of ourselves with our ego. We create a self image of ourselves that we believe is us, but it is not us. This self image can contain both external ( I am poor) and internal (I am a bad person) false projections. We become trapped with the projections we have created of our life.
- Raga – ( attachment) is the attraction for things that bring satisfaction to oneself. Our desire to pleasurable experiences creates mindless actions and blind sighted vision. When we can not obtain what we desire, we suffer. When we do obtain what we desire, our feeling of pleasure soon fades and we begin our search for pleasure again, becoming trapped in an endless cycle.
- Dvesha – (repulsion) is the opposite to raga, aversion towards things that produce unpleasant experiences. If we cannot avoid the things we dislike, we suffer. Even thinking about unpleasant experiences produces suffering.
- Abhinivesha – (Will to Live) - Is the deepest and most universal klesha, remaining with us until our deaths. We know that one day we will indeed die, yet our fear of death is deeply buried in our unconscious.
- Hatha - The general category that includes most styles of yoga. It is an ancient system that includes the practice of postures, breathing exercises which help bring peace to the mind, body, preparing the body for deeper spiritual practice. It is practice in the way that honours and balances our sun (masculine) & moon (feminine)
- Vinyasa - Yoga movements that are synchronised with the breath in rhythmic flow, which allows for placement in a special way to attain something specific within the body & mind.
- Ashtanga - A set of postured based movements, sequenced together in a set order that forms a series that is then practiced as a stage for development of specific things within the body and mind. Only moving on to the next series when ready.
- Iyengar - Where postural movements are held for longer periods of time to truly understand the alignments and the subtleties of each movement, using props to encourage safer and deeper exploration.
- Kundalini - Whereby the breath and energy are the focus point as movement and we shape the physical body to allow this movement to happen . Its attention is on moving energy through the body using breath, meditation, kriya & mantra.
- Yin - A slower stable pace of yoga where postures are held for a minimum of 5 minutes. It is a passive style of movement however the strength is in the application of moderate pressure to the connective tissue (tendons, fascia, and ligaments) with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints to improve flexibility. This also deals with our unconscious energy within our mind and body.
- Restorative - Gentle, relaxing and passive form of movement and breath to release the body and mind of stress and practice the art of letting go with a rested attitude and graceful approach.
- Tantra - 5 tibetan rites along with other specific movements to improve the life vitality, energise and tune our whole being to be in tune with the life force through our own pranic (life force ) energy.
We believe in progression with balance sequencing & practice of Yoga Asana. Basically we draw from the ancient yoga traditional texts and acknowledge the modern medical science which has determined the “benefits of practicing particular asanas” Basically this means that we remain centred with the fact that the goal of asana is to maintain or restore health in body and mind, however we do not see the form of each asana the goal or the end to itself. This idea comes from the literal interpretation of ancient yoga, which describe the final form of an asana and the benefits they confer. The ancient texts themselves hold their own concepts as to why do an asana, more specific to yoga, which is based upon Auyreveda (the sister science of Yoga) such as prana, apana, nadis and kundalini. Within abode yoga we have chosen to harmonise the relationship of these two realities when we sequence, practice and teach with the belief that each can be unhealthy to the individual at times, each are needed for the individual at different time in their life and it comes down to the understanding of where each fits that will best restore and maintain health in the mind and body for the individual.
