SOLSTICE SENSATIONS
A Celebration of Life, Community and the Cosmic Cycles that guide and nourish our flow through the Winter Season in the Southern Hemisphere.
We honour Midwinter as a time to gather our energy in close, communing together around the Hearth Heart of the home, with fires ablaze for physical warmth, but also to invoke the consciousness that will bring us into Deep Contemplation about our passage in this, the Year of the Fire Horse, Numerological Number ONE.
3 Hours of Beautiful Presence! $66
$55 concession
We will dance and move and flow with drums and night sky spirit, we will feel our way with Breath and sustain with Cacao, Bliss Balls and the warmth of each other’s Heart Glow.
Simple lanterns with paper, sand, and tea candles will hold our aspirations, intentions, and dreams for a future we create by Being completely present in the Now.

Yoga Ocean will meet you where you are. At the gentle stream, where toes dip into well-known or unexplored emotion, where mental chatter, self-talk and subconscious thought patterns may swirl and ripple. As physical expression begins, softens or deepens, somatic experience and spiritual exploration expand. All is witnessed with compassion and appreciation for every individual journey with respect, dignity and love..
As you float and drift with a peaceful heart or when you feel lost and searching with anxiety and confusion, we offer safe anchorage. As you stretch mentally, physically and emotionally, perhaps discovering unresolved issues or quieting into stillness enough to hear the sacred drum of your heart, we stay steady with non-judgmental honouring.
We create space for a deep dive into shadow, honour and celebrate your individuality, share your joy and achievements, and hold space for you to find the sparkling brilliance that is the Elixir you are here to share with others.
Your community, Your space.

Nervous system regulation with Breath techniques that are accessible to all, meditation and mindfulness practices from Yoga Nidra to Guided Imagery that guide us toward Heart/Body Intelligence, relieving monkey-mind chatter and tension.
🕊️🌿🐚 REJUVENATE IN JUNE
Will continue if there is enough interest in this lovely multi-modality session where we activate the Parasympathetic Nervous System to Relax and Soothe with gentle Asana (yoga posture and movement) Pranayam (breath practises) Qi Gong or YoQi Flow, Yin shapes, Meditation and sometimes Qoya shaking and dance movement. This evolved from the Living Well program, Yoga for Stress Release, and will continue through July
🕊️🌿🐚 BREATH RETRAINING COURSE
Is underway for the next 4 weeks at 5.30 - 6.30 pm Friday nights. Thank you, participants, our first session was excellent. It is a wonderful opportunity to optimise breathing before we get to the snoring and sleep apnoea stage or if we are there, to recalibrate and mend dysfunctional breathing. Wonderful for Asthma symptom management and for sleeping well at night without waking for toilet breaks through the night.
🕊️🌿🐚 BRENDA, BREARNE & SIMON
Will be guiding Monday classes for 2 weeks and Simon will be here for POP UP Vinyasa on Saturday 6th at 9am, Brearne on the 20th. It is so fabulous that these amazing Teachers will be facilitating sessions all July, such a blessing for our Community.

An opportunity to learn the most healthy, life-affirming and well-being-enhancing way to Breathe.
Our contemporary lifestyle and environmental factors have slowly eroded the natural human ‘Art of Breathing’. In the last century, our breathing rate has increased and is at times almost double the rate at which optimal gas exchange and lung function are supported.
This Course will help you unlearn habitual mouth breathing and slow your breathing rate, enhancing tolerance to Carbon Dioxide, a widely misunderstood yet essential component of natural gas exchange and oxygenation of tissues.
We will learn practical exercises and strategies to return Nasal Breathing and slower, lower, deeper breath … breathing ‘less’ to experience ‘more’.
These methods have been shown through primary research to correct the issues that lead to snoring, sleep apnoea, blocked nose, post-nasal drip, wheezing and asthma symptoms, halitosis, insomnia, anxiety and tension
This Course provides a progressive framework for retraining breathing mechanics, increasing carbon dioxide tolerance, and restoring nervous system balance. Drawing on modern science, functional breathing methods, and experiential stress adaptation practises, participants learn to embody efficient, resilient breathing in daily life and under challenge.
Breath Retraining Courses commenced at end of May
Next 5 Week Course will begin in August
A Yoga and Healing Space with community values of inclusion, & accessibility grounded in respect and compassion for individual journeys as we evolve, heal and grow together.
I am a 'thalassophile', a lover of the ocean and all bodies of water, and perhaps even a 'hydrophile'. I spent several years travelling around Mother Earth, meeting beautiful Souls, experiencing amazing and beautiful places, wonderful opportunities and some very challenging situations. One of the main responsibilities and intentions in my journeying was to connect with the sentience of water on every continent and the oceans in between, from lakes, rivers, waterfalls, ice sheets, mountain streams, and snowflakes to dewdrops. I connected with, blessed, and was blessed by WATER
Water consciousness is my friend, ally, teacher and sanctuary.
Extraordinary researcher of 'hydroglyphs', New Zealander, Veda Austin communicates with water in a unique language mediated by crystal formations inspired by the work of Dr Maseru Emoto.
“The Secret Intelligence of Water” by Veda Austin, https://www.vedaaustin.com/
With this description, she invites the notion that 'water is the House of the Divine' which inspires harmonic resonance in my Heart as I feel this gnosis. Yoga and the ocean offer me freedom as I paint, work, play, rest, and anchor to its energy. I am restored and rejuvenated by all bodies of Water realising that I am indeed a Body of Water. I intend to imbue our space with the clearing, cleansing, fluid-flowing energy of panamuna, (the sea in Melukerdee language of the South East Nations of lutruwita/trouwunna/Tasmania).
