Sometimes life feels heavy - we want you to know you don’t have to carry it alone.

As sensitive introverts and non-neurotypical people, we have both experienced burnout and fallen into maladaptive coping patterns like isolation, numbing and emotional retreat. We know how much courage it takes to seek help, and we know how valuable a compassionate counsellor can be.

Satyam specialises in holistic support for people living with and beyond cancer and chronic illness, offering person-centred counselling that is caring, accessible, and trauma-sensitive. As a Mental Health Social Worker accredited by the AASW, Medicare rebates are available with a GP referral.

Satyam is now welcoming new clients. To learn more about his counselling services and how to book a session, visit: https://suryahealth.com.au/counselling/

Compassion = empathy in action.

Most of us find it easy to feel compassion for others and do what we can to help ease their suffering. Yet when we make mistakes, get hurt, or find it hard to live up to our highest ideals, we tend not to offer the same generosity, instead falling into patterns of harsh judgement and self-criticism. Choosing self kindness creates space for connection, resilience, and healing, especially in life’s more difficult seasons.

How do you offer yourself kindness and comfort in hard moments?

Our Vinyasa Slow Flow classes are all about moving slowly, steadily, and kindly, finishing with a gentle wind down into savasana to integrate and restore harmony in your body and mind.

We may even have a play with something upside down (we don't expect our students to be able to pop up into a headstand or handstand, but we do sometimes get creative with the foundations for such things!)

A daily ritual or dinacharya begins with your awakening. How you begin your morning can set the tone for your entire day. A few mindful minutes in the morning, whether it’s gentle stretching, a longer yoga practice, meditation, breathwork, walking, journaling, or simply sipping your tea or coffee without distractions - can help you feel grounded, calm, and focused.

Do you have a morning ritual already or are you looking to create one?

A personalised yoga therapy consultation is an ideal space to co-create the lifestyle that supports your holistic wellbeing. Dr Chandrika Gibson PhD C-IAYT is opening her books for new clients in February. Drop us a line or visit the website to find out more.

Yoga isn’t just movement, it’s a practice of awareness, connection, and self discovery.

What happens when we allow ourselves to feel from within? The external world becomes less enticing, and we experience the realness of our authentic selves.

That doesn't always come easily, sometimes it feels overwhelming, which is why our yoga is trauma-informed. There are always accessible options, and a low pressure, non-judgmental atmosphere in which you are invited to explore sensations, supported by the beauty of nature, relaxing music, in skilfully facilitated, small groups.

Journaling is a powerful way to pause, reflect, and connect with your inner self. It helps you clarify your thoughts, set meaningful intentions, and approach your life with focus and calm.

As the rhythms of 2026 get underway, try this simple prompt:
“Kindness to myself feels like…”

Write whatever comes to mind... a feeling, a quality, or a way of being. It could be joy, courage, curiosity, or gratitude or a longer statement such as "Kindness to myself feels like moving my body each day in ways that feel nourishing". There is no right or wrong answer ✨

Loving this social media trend of reminiscing about life ten years ago.

In 2016 I was 40, the boys were 15 and 10, and life was busy with school and work, yoga, travel, family and friends. It was our era with lots of running, family HIIT workouts, paddle boarding, teaching and sharing Ashtanga yoga. We were going to Bali regularly, and it was a golden time of togetherness.

Of course life wasn’t perfect, but we were blissfully naive in some ways, yet to face some of the bumps between then and now, like toxic workplace dynamics, my extensive skin cancer surgeries, loss and grief, and the uncertainties of parenting older teens to adulthood.

Yet the key themes and values that guide our life and work have remained constant, and we have managed to stay connected as we navigated back from less healthy coping to return to a new chapter of wellbeing. It’s a privilege to reflect on the last decade, and inspires me to build on our strong foundations so when we do this again in 2036 we can celebrate even more thriving!

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.
