Overview

Traditional Pilates focuses greatly on postural awareness and how we can protect and support our deep core muscle in our everyday lives. The importance of the traditional elements of Pilates is easy to achieve and adapt through simple and controlled exercises and overall self-awareness. Traditional Pilates upholds the integrity of the teachings in accordance with the 6 main principles: Concentration, Centering, Control, Breathing, Precision and Flow. The following key points will be demonstrated in this session:

What is our deep core muscle? Why is it so important to protect? Why is breathing effectively so vital especially during stressful times? What factors contribute to leading a healthier lifestyle? How can we apply Traditional Pilates to our everyday lives?

What to bring to the 1-hr session: Please bring a water bottle, towel and a yoga mat. Preferably wear exercise attire. Light, gentle exercises will be demonstrated. All ages are welcome to participate. Please consult your doctor if you are unsure whether you are able to participate or not.

Overview

We all have busy 21st Century minds ... processing information, managing life, driving, making decisions and juggling families. At this workshop Pauline will offer speak from her personal experience of anxiety relief – and from more than 30 years’ professional experience as a psychotherapist and leader in the field of therapeutic meditation. Pauline is the ‘natural anxiety management expert’ and the author of several books on overcoming anxiety. Over the years she has listened to many stories, helping people find freedom from their symptoms and reignite their joy in life. If time permits Pauline will offer a real experience of what it means to capture and practice mental rest. Questions are welcomed in order to assist as many as possible to understand how and why ‘Stillness Meditation’ can provide a superior therapy for a calm mind, less tension and reduced anxiety and a better life.

Key Points:

Tension is your worst enemy

Recognise and release tension

Remember the significance of mental rest

About the presenter

Pauline McKinnon is a psychotherapist specializing in Stillness

Meditation Therapy (SMT®) and Director of the Stillness Meditation

Therapy Centre in Melbourne. In early married life and following a

series of stressful events, Pauline developed severe acute anxiety and

agoraphobia. Conventional therapies were unsuccessful in bringing

healing and after an 8 year struggle she finally discovered lasting relief

in ‘stillness’ as originated by Dr Ainslie Meares.

With a desire to help others suffering similarly, Pauline published her story (In Stillness Conquer

Fear) and led the way in raising awareness of anxiety and how to manage it – naturally. She is

proud to have assisted some thousands of people within Australia and beyond.

A popular presenter to a range of organizations, Pauline speaks to corporate, education and health

industries. She is a Clinical Member of the Australian Association of Family Therapy, supports the

work of ADAVIC (Anxiety Disorders Association of Victoria) and assisted in the development of

meditation teaching with the Australian Catholic University. She is the Founding Patron of

Meditation Australia, having initiated this peak body in 2006.

Meditation is rapidly gaining popularity as an effective life-skill. Pauline considers natural ‘stillness’

to be more advanced in its therapeutic value than meditation per se – a fundamental life art for

health and happiness across the life span.
