Varsha is an internationally certified Yoga Alliance teacher, offering Hatha Yoga and Yoga Nidra. My classes focus on gentle movement, breath awareness, and deep relaxation to support both physical and mental wellbeing.
"After years in a fast-paced international career, yoga became my anchor—helping me slow down, reconnect, and live more mindfully. Now, I feel grateful to share this practice, creating a safe, nurturing space where students can move with awareness, rest deeply, and reconnect with themselves. Whether through steady Hatha postures or the profound relaxation of Yoga Nidra, my intention is to help students feel grounded, calm, and renewed" - Varsha

Rebalance the vital energy flow in your body. Energy healing is a holistic practice that activates the body’s subtle energy systems to remove blocks. By breaking through these energetic blocks, the body’s inherent ability to heal itself is stimulated. Donna also incorporates her psychic medium abilities to help you heal.

Qi (pronounced "Chi") means "energy", and Gong means "skill". The Qi, or Chi as it's sometimes written, is our life-force, our aliveness; it is this Qi that digests our food, beats the heart, and makes our hair grow. Think of Qi like water. When it is flowing, it is full of oxygen, cleansing and flushing as it flows. When water sits still, it becomes stagnant, it isn't healthy. When a hose with water passing through is kinked, the flow becomes a trickle. And just as with water, Qi when blocked, creates stagnancy in the body and leads to dis-ease. Qigong movements have been created to stimulate, expand and cleanse the meridian lines and points, these are an invisible network, an energy highway, circulating through the body."

This is a beauty this Focus tea 🫖
Tulsi - improves focus by acting as a powerful adaptogen that lowers cortisol, reduces mental fatigue, and promotes “relaxed alertness”
Siberian Ginseng - enhances focus, mental clarity, and memory by reducing stress-induced cognitive fatigue
Lemon Balm - improves focus, cognitive performance, and alertness while reducing stress-induced anxiety.
Ashwagandha - another adaptogen that helps improve focus, mental clarity, and memory by reducing stress-induced cognitive fatigue and lowering cortisol levels.
Oat Straw - acts as a natural nootropic and nervine tonic to enhance cognitive function, improve focus, and reduce mental fatigue.
Cinnamon - is considered good for focus, memory, and cognitive processing, primarily due to its ability to improve blood sugar regulation, which reduces brain fog. It acts as a stimulant for cognitive function by increasing attention, aiding memory, and protecting brain cells from oxidative stress.

The Otway Wellbeing Centre is opening its doors this January 2020! The previous Fusion Healing and Yoga Centre has changed hands and is undergoing bright new changes.

Upon entering The Otway Wellbeing Centre you will find a unique, tranquil holistic health centre, which offers a range of services and products that will inspire and help you to lead a healthier and happier lifestyle.
Starting the journey towards a healthier lifestyle can be difficult and even harmful without the correct guidance and resources. The Otway Wellbeing Centre solves this problem within the Colac Otway Community by offering a range of superior, personalised services from highly qualified practitioners.

The centre will also offer a range of specialised classes, workshops and other special events throughout the year that all relate to maintaining natural health and wellness. Myself, other practitioners and people from within and outside the community will run these events.
The warm and inviting studio space can be rented out as a space that the community can use to share their love of health and wellness.
Also, The Otway Wellbeing Centre is a Naturopathic Dispensary. The dispensary will allow people to meet with a qualified Naturopath and purchase practitioner only and non practitioner products over the counter for mild, acute conditions that may not require a full consultation, or for repeat prescriptions .
