Upcoming workshops

Winter Solstice Yoga Workshop - Wed 30th June 2021 5:45 - 8:15pm
  • Each season has a distinctive flavour with things we love and things we find challenging. Winter in Canberra can often be icy cold with expansive blue skies. Winter, for me, has a crystalline clear beauty.
    Winter is a pause in the breath of the year. It is a chance to make some space to see what new things want to grow. 
    The pause of winter whispers words such as rest, replenish, revitalise, renew. If we honour this part of the cycle, we create the foundation for all else to follow.
    Join me to celebrate this pause in the year. Let us wonder together about what newness within us wants to grow.
    As part of the class, we will share a meal of vegetarian soup and bread.
    The yoga workshop will also include practices designed to bring you closer to your inner light using:
    - mantra
    - relaxation
    - yoga postures suitable for all
    - yogic breathing practices
    - meditation
    Cost: $40
    Bookings necessary by 26th June via email

    Theme: Savour Autumn and relax your Psoas muscle - the muscle of the soul.
