Are you curious about astrology, but not sure how it works and perhaps even slightly skeptical. Astrology is often misunderstood as fortune telling, but in reality is a study of patterns and cycles of energy. These patterns and cycles impact us all the time. Learning about astrology can be a way to feel in tune with the ups and downs and seasons of life.
Astrology is not something that just happens ‘out there’, it’s mirrored in our own existence. This is the hermatic principle of “As above, so below. As within, so without”.
In this class you’ll explore the ‘Outer Sky’ astrology with Belinda, delving into the current movement of the planets, and the themes of the stories they are weaving.
At the time of the workshop we have some ‘era changing’ astrology as Pluto moves fully in Aquarius until 2044. Belinda will share about what this means for you, how to work with it and the other current astrology happening and coming up.
We then transition to our ‘Inner Sky,’ focusing on our own energy and psyche, engaging with the current astrological themes through an inner journey practice called Yoga Nidra.
Yoga Nidra is an ancient meditation practice for relaxation, emotional regulation, manifestation and subconscious reprogramming. It translates to Yogic Sleep which describes the body and mind going to sleep but the inner awareness staying awake and present. It’s structured to guide us through the subtle energy bodys (koshas) to our inner most state.
This ancient meditation practice has caught attention of neuroscientists for its ability to take us through different altered states of consciousness. Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman of Huberman Lab Podcast uses the term Non Sleep Deep Relaxation to essentially describe Yoga Nidra, and shown studies on how it increases dopamine and reduces stress.
The practice consists of working with a personal affirmation, body scan to create coherence, energy work, emotional regulation by somatic experiencing pairs of opposite emotions, awakening inner vision and imagination, and connecting with your inner most self.
Belinda scripts a Yoga Nidra journey that is reflective of the current astrology as a powerful way to integrate and learn about astrology.
This class is great for:
– Wanting to integrate the current astrological energy (rather than just learn about it).
– Working on self limiting beliefs.
– Creating coherence in the body and deep states of relaxation.
– Improve emotional regulation in your body.
– Awaken your inner spiritual technology.
Bring along a notebook or journal – you’ll find plenty of insights and revelations you’ll want to jot down!”

Belinda MatwaliMy name is Belinda. I’m a trauma-informed spiritual mentor and astrologer with a holistic human + being approach. As human beings, our human side often suffers from woundings, self limiting beliefs and traumas, whilst our being (eternal essence and infinite potential) largely remains unutilised due to not really being taught how to connect with it by our society or schooling. I have over a decade in deep meditation training, spiritual psychology, nutrition, and astrology. I am also qualified in Dr Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry methodology. My sessions are designed to work to support both the Human aspect and the Being aspect of you.

Event Details
A Childbirth and Motherhood Preparation Course
If you are aiming for a vaginal birth that will leave you feeling positive and empowered and you’re also seeking an easier recovery from birth; both physically and mentally; then this course will give you the hands-on tools and knowledge to help you achieve this. Combining both ancient and modern birth wisdom; this course makes sure we are preparing the body, the mind and the Nervous System for childbirth: which all play vital roles in allowing physiological birth to progress and you to best manage the physical and emotional intensity of the childbirth process.
We’ll be deep-diving into physiological childbirth; what can get in the way of it; and the practical steps both you and your birth support person(s) can take to give you the optimal chance at having a vaginal birth of your baby; as well as learning how to adapt for other birth outcomes and interventions that may become necessary; so you still feel positive and empowered about your baby’s arrival, no matter the circumstances.
In this 1 day in-person program you will learn
- How physiological birth happens and what you can therefore do to support it
- A range of effective tools to use to integrate pain and challenge in childbirth (including breathing techniques, sound work, movement, visualisation and mind-techniques)
- How to prepare your body for childbirth – set exercises to help support spontaneous labour and optimal positioning of your baby (avoid breech and posterior)
- How to move your body in childbirth – set positions and movements to use during childbirth to keep labour progressing and support baby into the optimal position
- How to prepare your Nervous System for birth – tools and exercises to start toning and training your Nervous System which can have the biggest impact on the progression of labour
- How to prepare your mind for birth – exercises to explore your beliefs around birth, your personal reactions to challenge and discomfort and how to work with these to allow you to hold capacity for the challenges and changes that can happen in childbirth

Jasmine Bashford, Rise yogaAs a recent new mother herself, Jasmine has a particular passion for supporting women on their journey, physically and mentally into motherhood. She used her Yoga Therapy training and further studies and research to overcome her own struggle with perinatal anxiety and to support her to have a childbirth that was both an empowering and positive experience for everyone involved. She runs classes and courses and free community circles that support women in this way, as well as her private Yoga Therapy sessions. She is a big advocate for using multi-modalities to support our health and development, knowing that this provides a person with a wider range of accessible tools they can then choose from to suit what their current needs are. She has herself worked with Yoga Therapists, Women's Health Physios, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Reiki practitioners, Counsellors and Psychologists to support the work she has done in her own health and self-development. She therefore often refers on to allied health professionals and will happily work with any current practitioners you may be working with to help get you the best result.

Lara Zilibowitzyoga teacher, artist, soul pilgrim, holistic therapist, body poet. i am dedicated to the path of embodied curiosity, of descending inside, with our breath as a guide, to look for treasures… For this body of ours is an extraordinary alchemical vessel filled with so much magic and meaning. It is forever awaiting for the fire of our presence in order to transmute any struggle, and metabolise any stress into embodied wisdom and mental freedom. For me, this is the heart of Yoga, and true meditative awareness. A welcoming of ourselves full-spectrum to practice, showing up empty of agenda, with a willingness to befriend ourselves and get to know ourselves on a deep and true level. This Tantric approach has been radical medicine in my personal journey working with post traumatic stress symptoms of somatic anxiety and insomnia. Learning to trust the intelligence of my body as a potent source of power, creativity and healing, not to mention abundant pleasure. This realisation has become my life passion and purpose. My dedication, as a facilitator and guide, is to invite you to feel that embodied curiosity is the purest form of self-love there is. It is the most perfect opportunity for you to reset into wellbeing.
