A simple practice, built on deep philosophy and technology.

In the training you'll learn how Yoga Nidra moves through the layers of consciousness and the brainwave states. You'll also learn how to use scripting, sequencing and different techniques to create different experiences for your students.

Learn with @eliza_giles at our Yoga Nidra Training, 24–25 October in Manly or online.

Fall asleep in Yoga Nidra? You're not alone.

Many of us are carrying sleep debt, and every night we train our bodies to switch off the moment we lie down. Yoga Nidra teaches you to stay aware in that soft space between waking and sleep, so you can move through rest with awareness instead of just switching off.

THE PROSPERITY PORTAL 7 Day Sādhanā Starts July 22

Over the 7 days of this celestial alignment we’ll journey through each of the seven chakras, releasing the energetic blocks, limiting beliefs, and unconscious patterns that keep us in scarcity and reconnecting with our natural capacity for abundance.

The yogic technology outlines that hen we feel safe, worthy, open-hearted, expressive, intuitive, and connected, prosperity becomes a natural extension of who we are.
Together we’ll move, breathe, meditate, reflect, and create space for more flow in every area of life.

Included in your monthly subscription to The Portal:

• 1 x Prosperity Portal Workshop exploring abundance through the chakra system
• 7 x Daily guided meditation and energy practices
• Access to August’s Monthly Sadhana: The Art of Receiving
• Unlimited access to The Portal practice library, including yoga, yin, meditation, Yoga Nidra, kriya, breathwork, recipes, music playlists, and an ever-growing collection of practices to support your wellbeing

(Cancel anytime)

If you’ve been feeling called to expand, trust more deeply, and open yourself to receive the life that’s waiting for you, this is your invitation.

If I had to start my yoga teaching journey all over again, these are the books I’d buy first.

The best yoga teachers never stop being students and these are the books I have kept coming back to over the last 15 years of teaching that have helped shape my understanding of philosophy, subtle energy, and what it truly means to live the practice and stay inspired.

The most transformative lessons came from years of reading, studying, questioning, and returning to the ancient teachings with new eyes. Every book on this list has changed the way I understand yoga, whether through philosophy, neuroscience, or subtle energy.

If you’re a new yoga teacher (or even a seasoned one), these are books worth returning to again and again.

Remember, becoming a great teacher isn’t about collecting more sequences. It’s about deepening your understanding of the practice so that every class you teach carries more wisdom, clarity, and intention.
 📖 Which yoga book has had the biggest impact on your teaching or practice?

Pain isn’t created by your fascia. It’s created by your brain as it interprets information from your body, your past experiences, your nervous system, your emotions, and your environment. Pain is designed to protect you, not simply reflect tissue damage.

Here’s the part that changes how we teach...

Discomfort isn’t always a bad thing.

As humans, we’re biologically wired to avoid discomfort because, for thousands of years, discomfort often meant danger. But your nervous system doesn’t always distinguish between a genuine threat and a safe, intentional challenge.

In an intelligently guided Yin practice, sensation can simply be information. It’s an invitation to become more aware, not something to fear or immediately escape. Learning to distinguish between therapeutic sensation and pain is one of the most valuable skills we can cultivate, both as practitioners and as teachers.

This is exactly why I believe Yin Yoga teachers need more than sequencing skills. We need a solid understanding of anatomy, fascia, biology, the lymphatic system, to layer onto the energetics and meridians to curate a transformative experience.

As teachers, our role isn’t just to guide shapes. It’s to help students understand their bodies, develop interoception, build resilience, and distinguish between productive sensation and pain that signals the need to stop.
