Yoga on Country
Start your morning with renewed energy, connecting with the wisdom of natural cycles and practising deep listening with the living landscape
New to Taste of Kakadu, this session is more than a yoga class. This Yoga on Country experience is an invitation to tune into your own inner landscape while sensing the presence of Country and its cycles around you.
Join Cristina Aranzubia, who lives and works alongside the Kakadu Bininj/ Mungguy aboriginal and non-aboriginal community. With 15 years of yoga practice, her teacher training in Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga follows the linage of renowned yogi T. Krishnamacharya. Her training was enriched by guidance from Aboriginal yoga teachers across Australia who embrace both ancient philosophies.
With further training in somatic embodiment, the chakra energy systems of the body and a number of cultural awareness trainings; you will be guided by her calm and grounded energy — a welcoming space, supportive and accessible for everyone. Build greater self-awareness and strength in your body, tune into your intuition and start your journey towards deep listening.
Your Teacher
Cristina’s capacity to listen and to connect with ancestral spirit energy has brought her where she is today. Following her intuition and inner guidance, Cristina has become a mum and partner to a beautiful man, both descendants of Nganyaywana Aboriginal Country. Her deep respect and honour to Aboriginal culture initially began through her work as an architect, supporting the community of Gunbalanya in Arnhem Land. During this time she developed deep relationships with community members and was welcomed into a kinship family. Nowadays, she continues to combine her contribution to the indigenous communities, not only through the Yoga practice and teachings, but also through academia, consultancy and through bringing a methodology towards deep listening into experiences that reconnect people and projects with themselves, with place, and with the wisdom of natural cycles.
What to bring
- The practice will be outdoors please bring mosquito repellant.
- Resuable drink bottle, there is a water station at the venue.
Mats are provided or your may bring your own.
