Waiting for appointments can feel stressful, but it can also be a chance to pause and reset. Here are three simple meditation + breathing techniques you can practice quietly in a waiting room:

✨ Box Breathing, known in yoga as purna sama vritti (4-4-4-4)
Inhale for 4 counts ... Hold for 4 ... Exhale for 4 ... Hold for 4.
A gentle reset for the nervous system. If holding your breath feels stressful, count faster or lower the count to 2 or 3.

✨ 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Grounding
Notice 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, 1 thing you taste.
Brings you back into the present moment.

✨ Hand on Heart
Place one hand on your chest, one on your belly. Breathe slowly and feel the rise and fall.
A simple way to connect back to your body and calm your mind.

Even a few minutes of mindful breathing can shift how you feel. Save this for the next time you’re in a waiting room - try one of these practices and notice the difference.

In a world that asks us to go faster, yin yoga invites us to pause.

Unlike more dynamic styles, yin yoga is about stillness and surrender. Poses are held for longer, targeting the deeper connective tissues rather than just the muscles.

Join us for Yin tonight at 6:30pm, online or in studio. Book in via: https://suryahealth.punchpass.com/calendar

Yin Yoga is the quiet practice your body and mind might be craving.

Unlike more dynamic yoga styles, Yin targets the deeper connective tissues through long, passive poses. Think stillness, breath, and surrender.

Santosha, a Sanskrit term, translates to contentment or acceptance.

It's about finding joy in the present moment and accepting circumstances without judgement, not necessarily a passive acceptance, but rather a foundation for growth and positive change.

Santosha invites us to soften the need to fix everything, and instead ground ourselves in what we can feel, control, and honour right now.

We offer specialised yoga and supportive therapies for those affected by cancer, trauma and chronic illnesses - reach out to learn how we can support you or a loved one.

Nestled in nature and surrounded by bushland and lush greenery, the studio offers a peaceful retreat that feels like coming home.

Completely off-grid, powered by the sun, hence the name 'Surya' meaning sun in Sanskrit, symbolic of life-giving light and warmth.

If your preferred health prescription includes green spaces, forest-bathing, mindful movement, personal growth and connection, Surya Health is here for you.

I am still so grateful for kind words like this from Nicole. It was shared a little while back, but it means just as much today, and we are thrilled to have Nicole return to the studio after a break

"Chandrika's classes are AMAZING. She has such a beautiful energy about her. The studio is so relaxing and in such a lovely setting. The classes are easy to flow through & I love how Chandrika tailors them to the people in front of her.... love love love!!"

Our Story

From our very first experiences with yoga, both of us knew that this would be an important aspect of our lives. The ability to tune in to the felt sensations, to slow the busy mind, and to explore movement in subtle and interesting ways intrigued us. For many years our meditation practice was central, along with attending regular yoga classes, and developing our skills through education and training in naturopathy and yoga teaching (Chandrika), massage, caring, social work and counselling (Satyam). As we have matured into our 40’s we’ve both achieved plenty of our career goals; being able to work in cancer and palliative care settings, Masters degrees in our respective fields, and now Chandrika is embarking on her PhD in integrative oncology. What we have come to understand is just how important keeping mentally and physically active, strong, and supple is in order to live out our dreams. The emphasis in our practices has gradually shifted to what we feel is ‘intelligent asana’, a mindful approach to moving and being. There’s room for many different approaches to yoga to suit different people during different phases of life. We hope that our small studio (max 10 students) is an inviting space where we can offer you the tools of yoga and support you to find the yoga that works for you. Each week during term time we have 5 classes on the schedule - dynamic vinyasa on Monday nights and Saturday mornings, meditative yin on Tuesday nights, therapeutic hatha on Wednesday evenings - ideal if you’re dealing with challenges on any level, and women’s wellness hatha on Thursday evenings to honour the particular phases of women’s lives including pre and post natal care.
