About Us
Hi Robyn here -
( Be sure to read Narelle and Bev's Bios after this one.)
The inspiration for this Blog began about 4 years ago during a "lounge lizard-- cup of tea" session with a good friend of mine who dropped by for a visit while on holiday with family. That's me and Bevee in the photo, she also gives meditation classes. We were chatting about how the Internet could be another way of inter-relating, sharing information and meeting new yoga meditation friends.
For a number of years I have been inviting both my old and new friends over for meditation and also yoga stretching and yoga nidra, more commonly known as relaxation. We all enjoy the great benefits we experience from the consistent practise of both yoga meditation, yoga stretching and relaxation, so my friend and I thought - why not further expand our circle of yoga meditation buddies by extending an invitation to others via a blog/website.
It is only natural to want to share truly positive experiences that we are blessed to come across during our lifes journey and the science of Yoga Meditation has to be without a doubt the single most positively impacting experience of all. This gift of knowledge was passed to me FREE of charge by my teacher, a true master of this science based, ancient, yoga meditation process. Traditionally this is the way this knowledge is given, as a spiritual gift passed from one to another, always free of charge.
I contacted another friend Narelle for feedback on the idea and this is how both http://www.holisticyogameditation.com (pending) and www.ahymninfo.blogspot.com short for Australian Holistic Yoga Meditation Network, a hymn or ahymn for short came about.
Meditation is very prayerful -- and the yoga practice of singing meditations, is like singing a hymn, so the name a hymn is very well suited to this blog/web site. A hymn (a prayer) with info,. added to it is certainly a great alternative.
It's been a relatively long and challenging learning curve as I didn't know a great deal about websites so had to learn everything from scratch. Not wanting to invest a lot of money, I chose to use a free wysiwyg web editor. Now -- this is not the most attractive blog/web site ever, (very basic actually) more like a "home job" (grins) which it is - but good enough I think for this invitation. I would like to say that although it was 4 years ago that the idea for this blog/site took birth, the hands on part for this blog was a matter of hours. What a relief to have it to the point where it can be uploaded so that we can find a place on the world wide web.
If you come across errors and other bits and pieces that don't hang together perfectly, I apologise, as I said I am a super novice at this, definetly not an expert. If you spot anything that needs attention, kindly let me know what needs to be fixed as well as "how to fix it". (smiles)
I have been practicing yoga meditation consistently for many years and have also been a practicing fan of hatha yoga asanas since I was a teenager, I was always trying to get my friends to come over and hang out so that we could do yoga together. I guess some things never change:-) Actually it wasn't long after moving to the U.S.A (many years ago) that I was asked to consider taking a position as a Yoga instructor in a health and fitness club in the town where we lived.
I began teaching again 8 years ago after my second course of yoga teacher training and have just begun another yoga teachers training course (my third) which will see me through until next year.
I am also a qualified massage practitioner having graduated from the Santa Barbara School of Massage and Natural Therapies in California. I have also attended "brush up" courses since, but no longer offer my "expertise" (grins) in massage, these days I prefer to spend the time I have on meditation classes and holistic hatha yoga asanas.
Almost two years ago myself and Bevee began "Heavenly Meditations". We would visit the Gold coast Hospice, sit with the residents and their families and softly sing prayers or mantra's - our visits were always well received with requests to come back again. This is another community service we offer, if you or your family members might like to experience this feel free to contact me. Last but definetly not least, "holistic yoga meditation". As mentioned earlier, I have been practicing this wonderful meditation for many years. I am "no" scholar and suffer horribly from stage fright so am NOT a public speaking person, but in spite of these short comings I am motivated to try and freely pass on this truly precious gift because on a daily basis I am reminded of all the amazing benefits bought about by practicing this simple meditation.
Our world wide community, every living being would benefit if they had the opportunity to hear this information. Simply by hearing the details regarding the practise of holistic yoga meditation, a person's life is enriched forever. Very simple but very powerful.
I have travelled a bit through the years and it is always very cool and super easy to share this valuable gift with others, whether it be in a more formal situation or one on one. To know that the invisible potency of yoga mantra meditation will benefit the recipients eternally always makes me very happy.
If you are a sincere seeker of the truth or merely curious and would like to know more, book in for a class. There's no prior qualification needed, you don't have to give anything up, or join any thing. These timeless techniques are non-sectarian and freely available to all.

Just add this simple meditation to your life. Once you have learned the meditations you could then attend the regular meditation programs that are held in your area. The choice is entirely yours.
There is a lot more to this story, but will have to leave a few interesting tales until we meet. I basically just wanted to tell you a little bit about myself and to personally invite you to come learn about meditation and invite you to join in with our holistic yoga meditation practise, our groups are small and friendly.
My friend Narelle whom I mentioned earlier has also been offering similar programs for years and years. (You can read her bio next to find out more). Basically, we decided to get together, get organised with a schedule, a plan and this invite.
We all look forward to meeting and practicing holistic yoga meditation with you.
Warm regards
Robyn

A few words from my yoga buddies.
From Barb:
I would just like to say that I have been joining in with Robyn's Yoga stretch and relaxation classes for over 8 years now.
I really enjoy the serene and relaxing atmosphere and find it really motivating.
The classes are delivered with great sincerity and warmth, they are gentle yet challenging. One of the best instructors I've ever come across, Robyn is easy to understand and offers a high level of instruction.
I really look forward to the relaxation or yoga nidra both at the beginning and the end. It's wonderful for a tired and stressed out body. I feel great benefit from that which lasts over 24 hours.
Thanks Robyn.

From Jen:
I've been coming to Robyn's ever since she started having people over which is 8 or 9 years now. I'm quiet flexible, but get stiff hips and really noisy ankles. I always feel much better after yoga as long as she doesn't work us too hard.
I like it because it's a nice relaxing, easy going space, we all get along well. We are a small and friendly group of ordinary people. Once someone joins in they normally stay unless they move away. It's not normally advertised just word of mouth friend to friend.
I really enjoy the Gauranga meditation you can definetly hear me in the group. It's not unusual for me to fall asleep during the relaxation part of yoga because it is so relaxing, we all doze off from time to time even Robyn ...ooopppppsss sori Rob (joking).
Thanks
