KRIYA METHOD™

House of Kali · Tallowood, Mullumbimby

For a nervous system that hasn't switched off in a while.

Breath, movement and deep rest, in a small garden temple. Nothing is rushed and nothing is forced — we settle the system first, and let the rest follow.

What a reset actually means

Most of us are running on a system that never got to finish the stress cycle.

Wired but tired. Sleeping badly. Stiff, foggy, short-fused, or quietly flat. It isn't a discipline problem — it's a nervous system that's learned to stay switched on. This practice is about teaching it how to come down again.

Settle first

Regulation before anything else

Nothing gets activated before it's been settled. Breath and grounding come first every time, so the practice calms you rather than winding you up further.

Small room

Nine mats, unhurried

An open-air garden temple, kept deliberately small. Enough time and attention that you're not just another body in a full studio.

Take it home

Tools that work off the mat

Breathing you can use in the car park, in a meeting, at 3am. The point isn't a good hour — it's a system that recovers more easily on its own.

Kriya Journey

The long-form practice. Kriya yoga, somatic release and in-depth breathwork in the undercover garden temple. Nine places only, first booked first in.

$259 places

Parking near Tallowood estate park or the tennis courts. You don't need to be flexible and you don't need experience — the focus is energy expansion first, and the rest follows without force.

The seven pillars

There's an order to it.

Kriya means intentional action. The pillars run in sequence — each one prepares the system for the next, which is why the settling always comes before anything more demanding.

Pillar 1Regulate

Breath

Classical pranayama with modern breath science. Calms the nervous system, clears mental fog, restores capacity.

Pillar 2Activate

Kriya

Purposeful, repeatable practices that create real change. Vedic discipline that becomes freedom.

Pillar 3Stabilise

Movement

Kundalini, hatha and vinyasa blends. Classically sequenced asana for strength, mobility and grounded presence.

Pillar 4Liberate

Somatic release

Therapeutic trembling and somatic shaking to safely discharge stored tension. Insight alone doesn't undo what the body remembers.

Pillar 5Orchestrate

Energy

Charging the energy channels correctly. Mudras, bandhas and energetic literacy, applied responsibly.

Pillar 6Attune

Sound

Free the voice. Sacred mantra to focus the mind and reset the body's systems. Vibration as a practical tool.

Pillar 7Integrate

Meditation

Train attention, build clarity, cultivate capacity. Backed by yogic lineage and by neuroscience.

The five aspects

Recalibrate. Don't negotiate.

The name is the method. Each letter is one of the things the practice is actually for.

Karma

Create capacity

Karma means action and consequence, not fate. Change what you do and what surrounds you, and you build capacity you didn't have before — internally and in the environment you live in.

Recalibrate

Regulate, reset, recalibrate

Finding steady ground before anything is asked of you. This is the part most practices skip, and the reason people leave a class feeling wired rather than settled.

Integrate

Information becomes pattern

Knowing something doesn't change it. Repetition does. Integration is the unglamorous middle bit where a good session slowly turns into a different default.

Yoga

Union

Yoga translates as union. Body, breath and mind working as one thing rather than three — and you as part of the natural world rather than separate from it.

Align

Values matched to actions

Most of the friction people carry comes from the gap between what they believe and how they actually live. Closing that gap does more for a nervous system than any technique.

Ways to work together

Start where you are.

Most people begin in a weekly class and leave it there, which is completely fine. If you want to go further, the 1:1 reset is the deeper version of the same work.

Begin

Weekly classes

Drop in for $25, or $22 for your first visit. Five-class pass $110. Bring a friend who hasn't been and you both come for $22 — and every fifth session is $22.

Cost shouldn't be the reason you go without. There's a by-donation community class, and a hardship waitlist for anyone who needs it. Ask — the conversation is private and there's no explaining to do.

About

Kali Jade Farrell

Kali teaches breath and movement practice from the classical yoga and Vedanta tradition, adapted for the nervous systems people actually walk in with.

She built the Kriya Method the slow way. The standard qualification to teach yoga is 200 hours. Kali holds 700, registered with Yoga Australia — plus years of further study across yoga and Ayurveda, including repeated trips to India to learn at the source rather than second-hand. It's shaped by lived experience as much as training, including raising a neurodiverse child and years of support work.

Grounded, direct, and not particularly interested in performance. She won't chase big emotional releases, won't tell you you're broken, and won't ask you to be flexible. She'll teach you a practice and get out of the way of it.

What this is, and what it isn't. Kriya Method is a movement, breath and rest practice. It is not counselling, psychotherapy, medical treatment or a substitute for any of them. Kali is not a counsellor, psychologist or medical practitioner. If you're working with a GP, therapist or other practitioner, this sits alongside that — please keep them in the loop, and let Kali know anything she should be aware of before you practise.

Before you come

Questions people actually ask.

Do I need to be flexible or have done yoga before?
No. The focus is energy expansion first and the rest follows without force. All levels are supported, and the classes are small enough that you'll be looked after.
What's the difference between this and a normal yoga class?
Postures are about fifteen per cent of it. Kriya Method works with breath, rhythmic movement, sound and somatic release through a seven-pillar structure designed to shift your nervous system state rather than to perfect a shape.
Is this therapy? Will I be asked to talk about things?
No, and no. This is a movement and breath practice, not counselling or psychotherapy, and Kali isn't a counsellor or psychologist. You're never asked to share anything, revisit anything or explain yourself. You stay in charge of your own pace, and you can rest at any point without saying why.
Sometimes emotion comes up in these practices. What happens then?
It does sometimes, and it's normal — breath and movement can shift things that talking doesn't reach. Nothing is provoked deliberately, the pacing stays gentle, and there's always the option to stop, rest or sit out. If something bigger is going on for you, Kali will say so plainly and suggest you speak with your GP or a qualified practitioner.
Where exactly is it, and where do I park?
House of Kali, 46 Tuckeroo Ave, Tallowood, Mullumbimby NSW 2482. Park near the Tallowood estate park or the tennis courts. Please book online — the gate is locked otherwise.
What should I bring?
Water and loose, comfortable, modest clothing. Rug up in the cooler months — the temple is open-air and undercover. All mats and props are provided, though you're welcome to bring your own.
I can't afford it right now.
The Wednesday morning sadhana is free or by donation, and there's a hardship waitlist for the paid classes. Get in touch — your presence matters more than your payment.
