Welcome to Nura Yoga
Nagangbi ngayagang Jacqui
Hello I am Jacqui
The modern world is about navigating an increasingly complex, interconnected, and automated world where ethical, professional, and personal boundaries are constantly challenged.
Nura Yoga offers the timeless wisdom of two ancient realms as an anchor to connect mind, body & spirit to country.
Yoga gives us resources, which are linked to the mind. In strengthening the mind, Yoga enables us to develop a sort of cushion, an increased ability to withstand stress.
(TKV Desikachar-Yoga & the 21st Century 1999)

About The Logo
Art as the medium of my yoga journey
My logo embodies my ongoing journey as a First Nations woman, my cultural & spiritual practices intertwined with the philosophy of yoga.
The color yellow represents the sun and the healing nature of the sun. It also represents my shining light in what I hope to illuminate and bring to life with the ancient practice of Yoga & my cultural & spiritual practices as a First Nations women of Australia.
The black design represents the people who come to the yoga class and the lines represent healing. Purple is associated with power both earthly and spiritual. In healing purple is used for mental misalignments and the aura purple signifies higher spiritual development.
White is associated with truth. purity, cleansing, healing and protection. It is a good healing colour for the removal of pain and suffering. In the aura it signifies a high level of attainment, a higher-level soul incarnated to help others.
Acknowledgement to country.
Nura Yoga acknowledges and respects the Gadigal people as the traditional owners of the land we meet and operate. We extend these respects to all First Nation Elders, past and presents and the traditional owners from all nations and lands we visit.
