My name is Raewyn, I am a Mother, Yogi and Business Coach. My intention is to educate and build community through movement, breath work and spiritual connection.

I have a passion for women's health and working with children. This is at the root of many of my practices with an emphasis on supporting women through prenatal care, birthing and beyond.

Hey friends! A few of you have asked where you can catch me for weekly classes.

One Big Heart Camden is my favourite shala and I love teaching here. You can find me every week:

Tuesday 9:30am YIN
Wednesday 9:30am Slow Flow

If you are new to the studio, they have a fantastic intro offer which gives you 30 days to come and meet the teachers, practice as many times as you like and try all the different styles of yoga. This is a very special community and dear to my heart. You can find the link to the trail offer in my bio or send me a DM for more information 🙏

Retreat isn’t about escape, it’s about return.
A return to rhythm, nourishment, and the ancient wisdom that reminds your body how to feel at home again.

This retreat we’ll journey through two cornerstone workshops designed to help you bring the teachings home:

Ayurvedic Nutrition
Learn to eat in alignment with your unique constitution.
Discover the foundations of Ayurvedic cooking; the six tastes, mindful food combining, and seasonal nourishment that supports digestion and vitality.

Ayurvedic Dinacharya
Create your own daily ritual for health and balance.
You’ll learn self-Abhyanga (oil massage), a simple daily yoga sequence, meditation, and essential lifestyle rhythms that regulate the nervous system and restore energy.

My hope is that you don’t just leave retreat rested, but resourced. That you carry a little piece of retreat into your everyday life.

To secure your place, pay a $500 deposit and settle the balance later.

Byron Bay Retreat
April 16th - 19th 2026

Somewhere between doing and being, the body forgets how to rest.

We live so far above the neck that stillness can feel foreign, even unsafe.

Abhyanga is the practice of returning.
Warm oil, slow strokes, ancient rhythm… a ritual that teaches your body to trust again.
As the oil seeps through the skin, the nervous system softens, breath lengthens, and the mind loosens its grip.
Circulation opens. Lymph begins to move. The body whispers, thank you.

This isn’t pampering, it’s regulation.
A gentle way of saying to yourself, “I choose to care for this vessel that carries me.”

When we tend to the body with warmth and consistency, rest stops feeling like collapse… it becomes capacity.
And from that place, nourishment flows naturally.

Byron Bay Yoga and Āyurveda Retreat
16ty - 19th April 2026

This isn’t the kind of retreat where you have to know anything.
You don’t need to touch your toes, pronounce Sanskrit, or understand your dosha.

You just need to feel the pull, that quiet whisper that says, it’s time to exhale.

This retreat is for the woman who’s been holding too much for too long.
For the one whose nervous system hums even in silence.
For the one craving more than rest…. craving rhythm, warmth, and a way back to herself.

Here, nourishment comes first.
Through movement that soothes rather than depletes.
Through food that steadies rather than restricts.
Through ritual that reconnects you to what is sacred, simple, and true.

There’s no expectation, no performance. Just the gentle practice of returning, again and again, to presence.

And the beauty of it?
The retreat doesn’t end when you leave.
Its medicine lingers, in the way you make tea, in the way you breathe before speaking, in the way you let the sun rest on your skin without rushing.

This is the rest.
The reset.
The beginning of a new way of living, where nourishment is not an afterthought, but the foundation.

Twelve women.
Twelve hearts saying yes to stillness, depth, and discovery.

Today marks the first day of Yin Yoga Teacher Training, a sacred container where we remember the medicine of slowing down. Together, we soften the body’s edges, listen beneath the noise, and allow what’s been held to finally exhale.

This is where the teaching begins…. not in doing, but in being.

Here’s to six days of transformation, curiosity, and deep healing.

Your skin is the body’s largest sense organ, a living doorway to the nervous system. Every drop of oil, every slow stroke, tells your body: you are safe.

In Abhyanga, warm herbal oil seeps into the layers of tissue (dhatus), calming Vata (the dosha of movement and anxiety) while grounding the mind through rhythm and repetition. The body begins to soften, circulation opens, lymph moves, and the nervous system exhales.

External basti is like placing an oil sanctuary directly over the body’s most vulnerable centers, the spine, knees, lower back, heart, or womb. A small dough dam is formed and filled with warm, medicated oil that stays in place, soaking deeply into muscle, fascia, and subtle energy pathways.

Then there’s Shirodhara, a continuous stream of warm oil poured over the forehead, quieting mental chatter, soothing the hypothalamus, and inviting profound stillness.

These aren’t indulgences; they are acts of restoration, the ancient art of coming home to yourself through touch.
This is how we remember safety: through warmth, through stillness, through care.

The kitchen is a temple when we let it be.

A place where ritual hums quietly between the chopping board and the spice tin. Where ghee melts like sunlight and the hiss of cumin in a warm pan becomes a kind of prayer.

Spring asks us to awaken, to shake off winter’s heaviness and re-ignite the inner fire that turns food into vitality.
Ayurveda teaches that what we eat isn’t just nutrition, it’s information, a message to the body about how to feel, think, and move through the world.

As the days warm and the air thickens with pollen, our digestion can grow sluggish, our minds foggy. This is Kapha season: heavy, cool, and damp.
To balance it, we invite in spices that spark brightness and movement, ginger to awaken, turmeric to cleanse, cumin and black pepper to stoke our inner fire, mustard seed and fenugreek to cut through stagnation.

Cooking becomes an act of alchemy, the dance of heat and spice transforming raw ingredients into lightness and renewal.
It’s not about calories or perfection, but consciousness: being so present that the act of stirring becomes meditation, and every bite becomes medicine.

So light the stove, melt the ghee, listen for the sizzle, and let your kitchen become the temple it was always meant to be.
