Page Overview: · Therapeutic Relaxation Course · 2009 Summer Retreat	Yoga Teacher Training Courses Therapeutic Relaxation Something you might consider is our Certificate course in Therapeutic Relaxation. Not meditation, but is very consistent with meditation – it focuses on cognitive therapy, helping clients discover some very predictable habits of thinking which bring chaos and stress into their lives, and which are relatively easy to work on, once they are seen. Whereas meditation undercuts any mental patterns, Therapeutic Relaxation helps a person to see them and work on developing more constructive patterns of response to situations. Apart from the cognitive work, the relaxation practices are quite meditative, even if not true stillness. The course introduces you to the theoretical basis of cognitive therapy, and you study some of the great teachers of Cognitive Behaviourist theory.

Where: Eldon Park on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. How much: $295 Deposit of $100 required by the December 1st, 2008 Here is a review of the retreat held in January, 2008. The second retreat was held in Victoria, at Eldon Park in Tyabb on the Mornington Peninsula. The Eldon Park retreat was attended by a variety of people – from people coming for the first time to some of last year’s retreatants who came back for another go! At this year’s retreat, Sri Jani led retreatants on an exploration of the way we make sense of our inner landscape and interact with others, with a specific focus on whether we are thinkers or feelers – in other words, whether we process our perceptions of the world and others by putting more attention on thinking or on feeling. Then we went on to discuss how these processes affect how we interact with others, and how they possibly interact with us. The weekend was a revelation for some, and an interesting and engaging weekend for all. Of course, there was also plenty of asana and meditation practice with Ma Sally, as well! The retreat was catered by Jerry Segat, co-founder of the renowned Lentil as Anything vegetarian restaurant, who supplied some exquisite vegetarian cuisine. Jerry is currently a travelling chef – you might find him at fairs and festivals with his spectacular Veggie Burgers. The weekend was an enjoyable and enriching experience of immersing oneself into a yogic lifestyle and embracing the opportunity to share the experience with others.
