Sylvia Matlach - November, 2011
4 months ago I found myself wondering about yoga. I work long hours in a busy customer service based role. The position is often challenging and stressful, trying to meet clients' requirements and deadlines. I was regularly suffering from stress and anxiety and looking for ways to learn to deal with it.
I had heard and read that yoga was supposed to be good for stress so I did some research and found SunYoga. I wasn’t sure what to expect but right from the first class I loved it! I have been coming twice a week since July and I can really feel the benefits. I am more relaxed and happy and not nearly as stressed. I find that when the heat is on at work I just cope better. Being aware of my breathing helps me to stay calm and I am not getting so flustered or anxious.
I love coming to yoga, the physical postures release any built up tension from my day. After class I feel calm & relaxed on the inside…mellow and at peace. It feels like I have been on a cruise ship holiday!
I tell a lot of people about yoga. I keep saying, “Why don’t you get into yoga, it’s the best, the best thing ever! Not only does it improve your physical strength and tones your body, it also gives you mental replenishment…”
I am very happy I have found yoga, it’s incredible. I think not many of my generation understand how good it is, have any idea of what it is about, or realise the benefits of yoga… So, I tell as many people as I can,
“Get into it, the results are amazing!”

Weekend Workshops with Paul Wooden in 2012
This is a fantastic opportunity to dip into Paul's extraordinary wisdom and wealth of experience as a yogi and teacher. Paul is spending a lot of time overseas this year and is not teaching much in Australia - so if it interests you, jump in!
12 & 13 May - Befriending Resistance
Resistance is an inevitable part of the yogic process…Whether it be tight hamstrings resisting a forward bend, a held breath or some form of mental hardening, resistance shows us the contours of the territory we are working with in practice.
Resistance shows us where a boundary is. The boundary itself is not the problem… These boundaries are the frontier of our known world.
But what is our relationship to these boundaries?. What is our relationship to resistance?
How well do we know them and what happens in us as they arise in practice.
This workshop will be an invitation to befriend the resistance that arises as we approach a boundary. Exploring ways we can open to it as an ally, rather than a foe. When we learn to listen to and work with the intelligence and energy inherent in resistance, it becomes a resource for us. And the unimaginable becomes possible...
24 & 25 November - Befriending the Unknown
All growth requires us to feel out beyond the boundaries of what we know of ourselves. It calls us out into unknown territory....becoming familiar with the intimate terrain of unknowing is an essential key to real transformation.
The more stability we have here...in unknowing.... the more space we find for something fresh and authentic to emerge.
