The gifts of Gentle Sun Salutes

I’ve drawn on over two decades of experience working with real women, with real bodies, of all ages (mostly the fabulous over 50’s!) to create this program. These Gentle Sun Salutes are designed to:

  • Help you maintain the mobility to get up & down off the floor for life

  • Ease stress and anxiety by coordinating breath & movement together to activate your parasympathetic nervous system

  • Increase your lung capacity by encouraging longer, deeper breaths

  • Improve circulation and lymphatic flow

  • Provide gentle cardio exercise that you can easily fit into your life

  • Provide a different way to meditate than sitting still, with mindful movement & breath

  • Be a spiritual practice if you want them to be, bringing in themes of gratitude and intention

  • Empower you with a personal practice that you can easily memorise and enjoy anywhere, anytime

About Alison

Alison Eastland

Level 3 (Senior) Yoga Australia Registered Teacher and Mental Health Aware Yoga Teacher

My way of practising and teaching is gentle, easy-paced and welcoming. After all, most of us have already had enough practice at pushing ourselves and rushing around, and we don’t need any more of that. My moving meditations are within a normal range of movement. The power of the practice comes from mindfulness of the breath and in cultivating kind, non-judgemental attention. I am so grateful that I can share this practice, thanks to the wisdom and generosity of the teachers who have shared their knowledge and inspired me. I’m interested in how the practice of Yoga, and our sense belonging in nature, can support, comfort, nourish and inspire us in these challenging times.
