Unknowing the Known: A Yoga and Movement Exploration
In this series of workshops we’ll explore the depths of ourselves through Yoga Asana and movement practices. What are we actually doing in our practice and why? How do we cultivate a deeply authentic and sustainable practice? How do we know what we know, how do we experience embodiment? Can we courageously challenge old paradigms and make space for new learning and growth? This workshop will invite you to explore all of these ideas and find your own unique expression and exploration of Yoga.
Natasha is a global citizen with a curiosity and passion for life, conscious living and embodiment. She has been teaching Yoga and Meditation since 2006 in Europe, Asia, and Australia and has over 17 years of experience in Yoga and Meditation. She believes in the healing power of Yoga as it has helped her profoundly on her path.

Praise for Tara’s Immersions:
“Whether you have had an immersion before or not, completed more advanced trainings or not, what I love about the immersion is that we get to reconvene in time space and share time meditating, contemplating, practicing, flowing, sharing ideas together. We get to immerse in a group mind happening and advance the conversation together. And for that I am deeply hopeful that veteran students will return to share their energy, input and advanced.”
All welcome, no prior experience necessary in Embodied Flow. Even if you’ve done an Immersion before or Embodied Flow advanced trainings, each Immersion is a unique experience. This event is also suitable to those who have an in depth experience of Embodied Flow.
Schedule:
Wednesday-Sunday 10am-1:30pm/3pm-6pm
*15% off if you’ve already participated in an Embodied Flow immersion in Melbourne, or completed any of Tara’s trainings.
Embodied Flow™ Immersion: Liquid Body
Embodied Flow is a continuum of movement and expression drawing from the discoveries of hatha, tantric and somatic movement systems to experience yoga as a living art form. Both philosophy and method, Embodied Flow training and practice provide the technology and pathways to a deep sense of ease, strength and connectivity in the human form, empowering practitioners to be their own greatest teacher.
Our aim is to allow for greater agency, flexibility resilience and flow as facilitating awareness in their entire body-mind, to experience and remain connected to the unified field.
This immersion is designed for those Embodied Flow™ practitioners who have either previously taken an immersion, studied with an Embodied Flow affiliated teacher, have experience with the world of somatics, or those advanced practitioners that wish to deepen the conversation of yoga.
The days are planned to further the experience of meditation, free movement, asana, and skillful flow between the three aspects of movement in the liquid body.
About the experience:
Immersions are intended to create a comprehensive dive into the landscape of Embodied Flow™. The content of this immersion is designed to expand the felt since of flow by integrating the principles of Embodied Flow into the sense of being a Fluid being in a fluid matrix. The mornings start with journaling, meditation, and asana, and free movement.
Afternoons, we’ll break down the methodology, philosophy and create a laboratory for exploring new material.
The immersion utilizes the mind of the group to create a unique expression of the material, that will change and evolve as the group does.
Topics covered will include but are not limited to:
• Developmental pathways, (embryological, evolutionary)
• Fluids
• Kinespheres
• Planes of dimensionality
• Fascial lines
• Tantric Philosophy
• and continuation of topics covered in earlier meetings of the material
Every immersion is a co-creation between the facilitator and the participants with the intention to move the entire group mind deeper into conversation with the Self.
Experienced practitioners are invited to come and participate from where they now sit in the conversation, and newer practitioners are invited to meet the experience where they are at.
The immersions count towards continuing education points with the Yoga Alliance

About the Workshop:
The non-dual map of consciousness looks at each human being as a microcosm of the macrocosm. What does that mean? It means that each one of us is a seed of the entire universe, captured in our tiny stardust-born containers. There are infinite portals to enter into the essence of our Self. One elemental map is that of the five elements or as the vedas name them the Mahabhutas: Earth, water, fire, air, and ether. From the Ancient Vedas, Traditional Chinese Medicine, to anatomical structure in the body, these elements have defined personas, archetypes, behaviors, and energy flows, creating another tool for an embodied language within us to master ourselves.
In this weekend workshop we will have four sessions- each containing one facet of the power and possibility of the elements. Each element creates a new doorway to our physical, mental, and relational Self.
As we journey through the elements embodying their unique qualities, and frequencies we simultaneously create a somatic toolbox. Using inquiry, meditation, asana, and free-movement we will call in each quality in order to learn where our resistances lie and where there are possibilities for expansion, magnetism, spaciousness, and lightness. We will expand fluency, adaptability, and flexibility as we move through physicalizations and bring harmony into our individual systems, building on the fundamental consciousness of our expanding collective.
This workshop is for students and teachers of Embodied Flow, somanauts, and those who are interested in exploring the worlds of yoga and somatics. No prior experience is necessary.
Initiation: Earth
In the first offering of the weekend, we will connect with our bones, grounding into the longing pull of gravity and the ancient density of form that is earth. We will discover the architectural plan and its evolution in relation to the earth, gravity, and our collective desire. Our Somatic emphasis will home in on the primal articulation of our bones, the reciprocity of joint space with earth and sky, and the vibrational instrument of our body construct.
Liquidity: Water
The second element on our journey is water, shifting from the solidity of earth into the dynamic fluidity of our transport system. Spherical in nature and yet transmutational in form, water shapeshifts in relationship to the earth’s pull. Water responds by forging into spirals, rivers, and vortices of energy and creating liquid flows that power the transport system of not only our cellular system, circulatory system, immune system, and digestive system but also the pulsatory sea in which all the systems function.
We will play in the unique rhythms, pulses, and flows that are blood, lymph, cellular, and cerebral spinal fluids while submerging in the vastness of the interstitial fluid forming the volume of the inner sea.
Luminosity: Fire
The spark of intelligence, the light in your eyes, the burning desire to become, arise from the element of fire. We will invoke the generative engine of the core as we stoke the transformational heat which powers the alchemy of combustion, digestion, and action. Following somatization, we will ride its reverberating lava-like waves into dynamic movement.
Expansion: Air/ Ether
In this final class, we will focus on the intimacy of inspiration and expiration, the dance of the breath, and the inner winds called vayus. Air element calls in lightness, directionality, and change. We will follow breathwork into the element of space, both as a quality of being and the canvas from which all the other elements arise. We will discover the dimensions of space and spatial orientation we call kinespheres. Finally, we will melt into vastness in the meditative field where all elements converge.
*The nature of the work is to work with the body-mind complex, we will have people on hand to assist with anything that should arise
About Tara Judelle
Current Offerings
Tara’s classes focus on the discovery of embodied anatomy, bringing to the yogic tradition a scientific yet playful study of the movement vocabulary of the body and the ever-expanding perceptual awareness of the human mind. Classes are a journey of awakening to the flavors of Self through the felt sense of the body/mind.
Since 2008 the somatic sensibility of embodied anatomy inspired by Body Mind Centering® drastically shifted the emphasis on teaching form with philosophy to inhabiting the felt sense of the inner experience guiding and filling our corporeal landscape. In a quest to bring the living essence of the classic tantric teachings into an embodied journey, Tara co-created the School of Embodied Flow™ in 2014 to bring her current passions together into a modern Yoga movement. Embodied Flow strives to awake the body-mind by integrating somatics, tantric philosophy, asana, and free training to bring vitality to the whole body-mind. Embodied Flow is practiced by students from over forty countries. It has certified and inspired facilitators in over 20 countries leading the quest to create harmony of living, movement, and flow.
About Embodied Flow
Embodied FlowTM Yoga is a continuum of yoga, somatics, free movement, Body Mind Centering ®, and Somatic psychology created in 2014. Anchored in the teachings of non-dual tantric philosophy, Embodied Flow’s methodology brings students into ever more pathways to step into agency, freedom, and flow.
Each workshop is an exploration continuum that includes a blend of discussion, somatics, asana, free movement, meditation, and journaling.

Winter and the Winter Solstice (June 21st) is a special time of the year and the perfect time to slow down and go deeper into your practice which is just what we’ll do in this two hour Practice Lab. It’s a time of letting go, releasing, and nurturing ourselves.

Please bring a Yoga mat, journal, pen, and a blanket or shawl.
