Householders Yoga
What is Householders Yoga?
Householders Yoga describes a simplified form of yoga accessible to all people who live in society, care for their families and have responsibilities to their communities. Join a class, book a private session for you, your family, a group or a school. Classes are curated to suit specific group dynamics.
A typical kundalini class begins with tuning in to ourselves using breath and the Ari Mantra. We set an intention and practise a kriya (exercise set) curated to that intention. This is followed by relaxation that incorporates sound instruments which may include crystal singing bowls, the wind gong, voice and/or the medicine drum. Each class finishes with either a breath meditation or a chanting meditation.
Collaborate with me in a private session to create your own personal daily practice. Research has shown that a consistent daily practice significantly reduces mood disturbance, anxiety and fatigue as well as increasing energy, feelings of well-being, enhancing attention, working memory and memory recognition and improving emotional regulation. I can personally testify to all of the above.

About Me
My name is Sally Novak
Yoga has been part of my life for 20 years and I am passionate about sharing tips and practices with others to achieve balance and harmony in the chaotic world we live in. I understand that every person is different, and it is my wish to assist you to find the daily practice that suits you.
My first daily practice was ten minutes, and it changed my life. It resolved personal health problems, developed my self-confidence and resilience, and inspired me to complete Ashtanga teacher training in 2014. I discovered Kundalini Yoga five years later and was so transformed by it that I completed a 2nd teacher training, so I could share this practice with others.
I am a trained actor and schoolteacher with the skills, experience and the confidence to engage diverse groups of all age and abilities. I have shared my practice with both adults and children in a variety of contexts and can cater for a class or private session to suit individual or group needs. Whether you want to move your body, reach spiritual growth, relax, be more present, transmute anxiety, develop confidence and/or create a family routine, I know you’ll benefit from practising with me.
Testimonial
Sally is a beautiful human who shares her love and passion for this amazing yoga practice.
Kundalini Yoga is a practice that seems to work from the inside out . The movements strengthen the body and the breathing and chanting brings calmness to your soul. This practice truly creates a space to reflect and rejuvenate.
I had never tried this yoga before going to Sally’s class but the exercises are accessible to all as we are always encouraged to listen to our own body. Sally has created an open non judgemental environment that attracts a diverse group of ages and abilities so come along and give it a go!
At the end of the session Sally leads us through an amazing sound bath during relaxation. This is a beautiful experience. Crystal bowls and the vibration gong sing out and dance through your whole body and mind. This can leave you feeling anything from peaceful to energised , confident or purposeful to move forward into your day or evening.
I urge you to take the time to experience Kundalini yoga practice with Sally.

Classes that come to you!
Stress, anxiety, hormones, social media, video games and the modern busy lifestyle can all lead to disconnection. Taking an intentional break can bring inner peace to each individual in the household and sharing the practice deepens the connection with self and each other.
Reduce stress and anxiety, develop self-awareness and improve general wellbeing with kundalini yoga exercises and meditations. These use lots of rhythmic movement and sound to distract the thinking mind and tone the nervous system which appeals to young people, especially neurodivergent and those with anxiety.

Testimonial
The first thing I noticed was Sally’s authenticity as a yoga instructor. I felt held and confident in her class. Very important for me as a wheelchair user.
The movements were easy for me to adapt from my chair. If I needed assistance with a posture, Sally was there to offer advice.
The breathwork left me feeling fantastic.
I left this class feeling both relaxed and energised. I will be starting to bring a daily practice into my morning routine as a result.
If you are considering trying yoga, but have some physical limitations, don’t hesitate in contacting Sally at Householders Yoga. You won’t regret it, and your life, body and mind will be better
