“I recognise things can sometimes get a little serious so I love to integrate a little bit of investigation, experimentation and play” ~ Tashi Dawa

Travelling annually to Mysore India to study yoga since 2005, Tashi continues to deepen her practice at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore with Sharat Jois. She’s been a practitioner of yoga since she was in her teens and has had the opportunity to study with many wonderful teachers around the world including Manju Jois, Godfrey Devereux, Simon Borg-Oliver, John Ogilvie, Kristina Karitinou, Eddie Stern, Mark & Joanna Darby and many others.

Tashi has travelled throughout her life. She has lived and worked all over Australia, South Pacific Islands, Asia & Europe. With a background in theatre, she has also managed art, dance & community projects.

She has a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts and a Masters Degree in Community Development from Melbourne University. She was given her lovely name by her parents who were followers of Lama Yeshe in the 1970’s. ‘Tashi Dawa’ translates as ‘Auspicious Moon’ in Tibetan.

Awaken breathwork
Tashi Dawa
Pranayama
An accessible breathwork session with Tashi to introduce various breathing techniques. These techniques can allow us to harness the power of our breath to release stagnant energy, promote mental clarity, and cultivate a profound sense of presence. With each breath cycle, you'll find yourself able to dive ever deeper into a state of mindfulness. Find a comfortable sitting position and maybe have some tissues handy in case you need them. Most of this session will be breathing through the nose so best done when you're not congested. If any of these techniques don't feel right, feel free to stop or go more slowly. Optional prop: bolster.
