Rite of Spring – a holistic experience

With June & Kate

2:00 — 4:30pm
Sunday, October 11, 2026

$79

A gentle afternoon of movement, breath, rest & connection

As winter loosens its grip and spring invites us towards growth, this workshop offers an opportunity to tend to your inner garden.

With a combination of gentle flow movement, somatic practices, pranayama and Yin yoga, the workshop is designed to gently awaken your body and heart and soothe your nervous system.

You’ll receive a take-home toolkit of simple practices to continue exploring at home, along with delicious healthy snacks and nourishing beverages to enjoy.

This workshop will be lovingly facilitated by June and Kate, both passionate about an inclusive space for all bodies and journeys.

June is a firm believer of nurturing personal agency and autonomy through movement, meditation and breath.

Kate has a passion for Yin and offers a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming practice.

If you are ready to gently shake off the winter blues, restore your energy and welcome in the joy of spring, we’d love you to join us.

Come as you are, leave feeling more ‘springy’.

    EXPLORING CHOICE AND DECISION-MAKING SOMATICALLY

    With Trauma Informed Teacher, Renee Robson

    10:30am — 1:30pm
    Saturday, October 17, 2026

    $85

    How do we support our bodies and brains to make good choices? How might we better support choice in others when facilitating yoga, movement or other spaces?

    Choice is not just a cognitive process. Our nervous system, stress responses and established patterns all influence which options we can recognise, tolerate and act on. For some people, particularly those navigating trauma or chronic stress, being offered a choice can feel confusing, overwhelming or even threatening.

    This experiential workshop explores the biology of choice and what can make decision-making feel accessible or inaccessible. Through discussion, reflection and somatic practices, we will consider how we experience choice in our own bodies and how we might expand our capacity to make decisions without becoming overwhelmed.

    The workshop offers personal insights as well as practical guidance for yoga and movement facilitators and anyone who holds space for others. Participants will explore ways to offer options that genuinely support agency and good choice-making rather than inadvertently creating pressure or overload.

      Pathways Within Movement- The Art of Intelligent Yoga Transitions

      With Nickie Hanley

      2:00 — 4:30pm
      Sunday, October 18, 2026

      $79

      What happens between the poses?

      We often focus so much on where we’re going in our yoga practice that we miss the intelligence of how we get there.

      Join senior yoga teacher Nickie Hanley for a 2.5-hour practical workshop exploring the pathways that connect one pose to another. Rather than simply working towards stronger poses, we’ll slow the transitions down and explore how alignment, breath, weight transfer, balance and body awareness can help us move with greater control, confidence and ease.

      We’ll break down a range of familiar and more challenging transitions involving Half Moon, Crow, Side Crow, Tripod Headstand, Handstand, Skandasana, Rockstar and more.
      Using props, progressive variations and partner observation, you’ll have the opportunity to feel the transition in your own body, observe it in another, and begin to recognise the pathways that make movement more fluid and intuitive.

      Perfect for yoga teachers, teacher trainees and experienced students wanting to refine their practice, deepen their understanding of movement and discover more creative ways of transitioning between poses.

      Every pose contains a pathway to the next.

      The skill is learning how to recognise it.

      Limited to just 22 participants to allow time for individual guidance and exploration.

        Soundshower

        7:15 – 8:45pm
        Friday October 23, 2026
        with Avishai Barnatan

        $60

        Come bathe in pure sounds that will take you on a deeply transformational journey! The Soundshower combines chimes, Tibetan bowls, flutes and vocal harmonics. During a session you will be invited to lie down and be immersed in vibrations created by these special instruments. Throughout the Soundshower different instruments are carried around the room and sometimes placed physically on the body.

        Flutes and voice are used to create a magical musical journey and overtones charge the brain and energise the body. Being exposed to these healing frequencies enhances a physical, mental and emotional calibration to the human body and energy field. The Soundshower realigns body/mind, increasing focus clarity and insight. It is a very relaxing and refreshing experience for all.

        Avishai Barnatan, is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and sound therapist. Since 1990 he has been exploring the nature of sound and its therapeutic qualities as a tool for physical & emotional transformation and healing.
