Yoga at Durras

04/01/2026

As the new year begins and the steady pace of life returns, you’re invited to step out of the rush and into a morning of intentional movement, conscious breath and deep rest.

This nourishing mini retreat weaves together pranayama, fluid vinyasa, restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra, creating space to soften the body, settle the nervous system and reconnect with your inner rhythm. Through rest and reflection, you’ll be gently guided toward your Sankalpa, a heartfelt intention that arises organically from stillness and the body (or subconscious) rather than working with resolutions arising from the thinking mind.

A morning of energising movement,
followed by a nourishing plant-based morning tea, deep restorative rest & guided meditation

A gentle pause to realign with what truly matters and move into your year feeling restored, rooted and renewed.

Summer School holiday yoga workshop for children at South Durras, NSW

31/12/2025

It’s fair to say… this year has asked a lot of us.

As it gently draws to a close, there’s a collective exhale… a quiet “we made it.” Through the beauty, the uncertainty, the challenge and the growth.

For me, these soft days between Christmas and New Year feel sacred.

They invite rest, deep breaths, tender self-care and honest reflection. A time to slow the pace enough to feel what’s here, and to honour all the emotions that have moved through us over the past year.

Yoga becomes a beautiful companion in this space, a place to turn inward, to listen, to soften. A gentle reminder that we don’t need to push or rush forward. We’re allowed to pause, integrate and simply be.

I’m filled with immense gratitude for our small yet deeply nourishing yoga community here in Durras. And for the simple miracle of being here, alive, breathing and connected at the threshold of a brand new year.

Thank you to each of you for your presence, your commitment, your openness and your beautiful energy on the mat.

Wishing you a safe, abundant and heart-led 2026 ✨

Light & Love

What is Restorative Yoga? Imagine blissfully resting in a comfortable position, completely supported by cushions, blankets and yoga bolsters with your eyes covered with a soft eye pillow… warm, cosy, still and quiet….

Can you picture yourself? That’s it. Voila! Restorative Yoga. People often say “but I’m not flexible enough to do yoga”. This makes me smile, it’s like saying; “but I’m too dirty to take a bath!”

Just about anyone can participate in yoga, and particularly Restorative Yoga because it’s not about stretching our body, it not about trying to achieve anything, it isn’t about pushing ourselves to DO anything, or BE anything…. it’s simply about resting. Letting go and doing less rather than more.

Why? Because the resting state is important. It’s just as important as sleep (and no one can really argue with the importance of sleep). Rest produces a distinctly different chemical state in the body compared to sleep. In a deeply restful state, the unique blood chemical signature signals to our nervous systems to down-regulate and move into a ‘parasympathetic’ state.

Curious? At Yoga at Durras our first offering of the new year is a restorative half-day mini yoga retreat.

The movement workshop is coupled with Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra, providing the opportunity for personal reflection and to ‘go within.’ Working with the concept of ‘Sankalpa’ through Yoga Nidra (guided meditation practice) we allow our aligned intentions to emerge from a place of deep rest.

The morning will unfold as follows:
9am Pranayama (Breath-work)
9.30am Fluidly moving, but gentle Vinyasa (breath-based) practice (1.5hrs)
11am Morning Tea (a delicious plant-based morning tea will be provided)
11.30am Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra (guided mediation) 2 hrs

Saturday 11th January 9AM - 1.30PM
Durras Progress Association Hall
Banyandah Street, South Durras
