Give yourself Permission to Dance like nobody's watching in Melbourne's first play center for adults young and young at heart!

The degree to which we feel happiness or lethargy in our lives is directly related to the emotions we feel on a moment to moment, day to day basis. There is no faster way to increase a sense of joy and positive self-esteem but to move in ways that lift energy and increase the flow of happy endorphins. (Knowing you've burned off that glass of wine or the bread you had at lunchtime always lifts the spirits too!)

Depression is a lack of movement. Mania is chaotic movement. Balance is a conscious choice to move in ways that please the soul

Your Class Fees Make a Difference to Children associated with Mental Illness

$1 from every class will go directly toward mentoring and activity programs for children with special needs. It will provide community awareness and programs that promote positive self-esteem for children who suffer abuse and neglect often associated with the mental illness of a parent or guardian.

Many of these children will learn to parent their parent as well as other siblings at a very young age and can often feel quite invisible as they witness a confusing world. 

Together we can provide support to the 23% of students in our schools who go home to a parent who suffers mental illness. Many will experience some form of abuse or neglect.

Permission to Dance…one step at a time

It does more than give hope, it tells you how and why all things are possible

In this courageous book, Gayla challenges you to question the inner voices that keep you living your life in fear rather than love. She shows you how to  unveil the many layers that leave only our most natural,  self-empowered and creative self.  more...

“Permission to Dance is brimming with insights. It gives us the opportunity to really face who we are with compassion; to really look inside fearlessly rather than just peek…”

Affirmation of the Week...

 Starting TODAY 

One Step at a Time 

I remember to be respectful not only to others but also to myself. I am worthy of love even when I struggle to be all that I am, (which is when I need it most!) I welcome love and respect in my life.

Posted: November 20, 2008

When would TODAY be a good day for you to tap into unlimited power that lies waiting for you to acknowledge...

It is the power of unconditional love. And it starts with loving and deeply respecting YOURSELF.

If you weren't taught that self-respect is essential to having any success at all in your life you are most likely settling for less than the world has to offer you. Relationship success, financial success, professional success...it is all rightfully yours, naturally.

If you are ready to create your grandest vision or the highest version of the life you'd like to live, it would be my privilage to share the journey with you.

2009 Free WorkPLAYshops brought to your school, club, office or group

Discover the Health Benefits of PLAYING hard with your Mental, Physical & Emotional Fitness.

A small child knows instinctively that his or her happiness can only be in this very  moment, in the blessed journey of discovery; until sadly we teach them that they are incomplete until they reach the destination. Where is that anyway?  

Gayla and her team will spend much of January and February 2009 touring organisations, schools, and offices spreading the good news about the energising power of Play! For so many people, having fitness in all areas of their lives has become a burden rather than a gift we give to ourselves. Having balanced physical, mental and emotional wellness, loving relationships and a life that we enjoy should be open to all of us in this gifted country. Yet why do so so many people feel like their fast paced life has become too stressful, too hard, even overwhelming? Why is our suicide rate (per capita) in the top 5 countries in the world? 

What would happen if more of us simply remembered how to PLAY with life rather than opting just to survive it! Learning to mix our whole of mind/body/spirit fitness time with social fun-time is a great solution to maximize the amount of time we're doing what we WANT to do rather than what we perceive we MUST do. That thinking alone changes how we feel about the life we're living. That experience is not only possible, it is essential to having a happy life.

Emotional, mental and physical fitness increases productivity, attention span, connection, self-esteem and general well being.

If you wish to kick off the New Year with a welcome back gift that will cost you nothing and provide a wonderful group experience, please contact us before the end of December 2008. Very limited sessions are available so book now.

All talks are provided by Gayla and are offered free of charge. Donations toward Mental Health programs for children are most welcomed. 

For a booking application please fill in the form on the Events page. 

*Available Melbourne Inner City and Bayside suburbs only

Expressive Movement is the anti-depressant to take before sluggishness becomes immobilizing. The time to play is NOW!
