Jules Allen 

Wellbeing Yoga, Yin, Hatha, Restorative, LSD, Power, Qi Gong, Pilates, ChiBall, Mindfulness, Meditation 

Ju​les has over 20 years experience in the fitness and wellness industry and is a fully qualified Yoga teacher, Qi Gong teacher, Pilates instructor, ChiBall instructor, Meditation/Mindfulness coach, personal trainer and facilitator of Local and International Wellbeing Retreats.  She founded Lifeforce Wellbeing on the Sunshine Coast in 2004. 

Jules has a passion for a holistic and balanced approach to health and overall wellbeing and believes that in order to achieve this we need to focus not only on a physical practice but also gentle stretches to prevent injury as well as rest, relaxation and time out to nurture the body, mind and soul through meditation and mindfulness practices. 

She believes that what you are hard on wears out ... not just the physical demands we place on our body but add to this the psychological stress we are under as we try to multi-task, remain contactable 24/7 and feel the constant pressure to achieve and be there for everyone ... this results in a physical response that causes the body to release stress hormones.... ultimately leading to DISease in the body and mind. 

Exercise and mindfulness programs like Yoga, Qi Gong, Pilates and Meditation are all great tools for unwinding, quietening the mind and releasing tension that help to switch off the stress response enabling us to live a more balanced and healthier life. We must first take care of ourselves so that we are better able to take care of others. 

Jules’s Lifeforce Wellbeing Program is all about helping you to find this balance and learn the skills to help navigate your way through life’s challenges so that your life is more fulfilling and enjoyable and you can continue to do the things you love to do, injury free, pain free and as stress free as possible.

Asha

Slow Flow Yoga, Gentle Yoga 

Asha's teachings focus on the individual expression of asana, breath guided movements, safe and smooth transitions and encourage an attitude of self-acceptance. Suitable for the beginner through to advanced yogis there are options and modifications for a more subtle or challenging approach.  Asha says "When we hold our asana, fuel it with smooth deep breathing while the mind is focused on the present moment, this is YOGA.  Our practice becomes steady and easeful and we bring this attitude into our daily life.  I believe in oneness.  Every practice of Yoga makes us kinder, stronger and more integrated and loving.  When our vibrations of inner peace and joy spread like a ripple in the ocean of infinity, it benefits the whole world.  Let's practice together".   You will feel Asha's caring, inclusive and compassionate nature come out in her teaching.
