Motherhood is a path of unconditional love, commitment, dedicated service and surrender. It is an honour, a calling; both challenging and infinitely rewarding.
How can we use the teachings of yoga philosophy to support and serve our mothering journey, while honouring ourselves as sovereign beings on our own path of evolution and growth?
Join Lisa Matthews for a very special 3 hr workshop where we will:
Explore the observances and guidelines for mindful living, the Yamas and Niyamas, offered in Patangali’s Yoga Sutras. We’ll look at how we integrate and communicate the lived experience of yoga into our roles as mothers, care-givers and loving guides
Move through an organic, grounding slow flow practice to connect to our hearts, Mother Earth and to aspects the feminine divine, the Goddesses. We’ll conclude with some deeply nurturing yin poses to soothe and regulate our nervous systems
Create sacred space through meditation, chanting, contemplation and shared reflection of personal experiences, insights and wisdom
This workshop is offered to mothers, mothers-to-be, caregivers, fur-baby parents and souls called to the path of nurturing, unconditional love and compassion.
“When it comes to love and devotion, motherhood holds the secret. Even those of us who have never physically given birth have within us the capacity and intuitive preparation for nurturing”. Nishala Joy Davies, The Secret Power of Yoga.

About Lisa Matthews
Lisa is a Senior Yoga Teacher who lives in Mt Dandenong with her family and 4-legged friends. She is passionate about embodying the practice, teachings and experience of yoga through everyday life.
Lisa says: “My early life was strongly influenced by the world of dance, in particular classical ballet, which I began practicing at age 4. It was a magical world of beauty, majestic music, discipline, dedicated practice and performance. My ballet teacher was not only a beautiful dancer and accomplished teacher, she also embodied qualities such as kindness, joy and most of all, a heartfelt love for our uniqueness and individuality. I was motivated and inspired to emulate those qualities in my teaching, my mothering and the way I met the world around me – to live a life of creativity, beauty and purpose.
My great and enduring love of yoga was born after being introduced to the teachings of Siddha Yoga in 1997. A deep longing for healing and transformation was kindled. I bid farewell to my loving fiancé and corporate career and embarked on a 12 month immersion in an Indian Ashram as a student of yoga studying philosophy and yogic scripture, meditation and chanting, karma yoga and hatha yoga. It was remarkable, transformational and by no means easy. I was well served by the discipline of my early practices. On my return I married my husband John, had two beautiful sons and continued on the path of self discovery through love and dedication to the art of living yoga.
I’ve had the absolute privilege of studying and training with many inspiring local and international teachers from a diverse range of yogic styles and traditions. As an experiential learner, life remains my greatest teacher. I’m feel I’m constantly expanding the boundaries of my own limitations so that I can be the most loving, compassionate and positive influence on the world around me in service of the highest good for our humanity.”
