Dear Yogis,

I have some beautiful invitations to share with you.

✨ Bali Retreat – Three Places Opened
If you thought you had missed out on your opportunity to join us in Bali, I’m delighted to share that three more places have just opened for our March 2026 Retreat. This is your chance to step into the lush rhythms of Ubud, daily yoga, nourishing food, and the joy of retreat life.

🧘‍♀️ Yin + Yoga Nidra Immersion – 2nd November 2025
There is potent magic in the liminal spaces - the thresholds where one season dissolves into the next, where endings soften and beginnings stir. It is here, in rest and in sleep, that we are remade.

In this 2-hour Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra immersion, we will invoke the power of transition through the elements:

🔥 Fire – Yin Yoga to send old patterns into the fire, clearing space for what is to come.
🌊 Water – long, fluid holds that invite release and flow through the meridians.
🌍 Earth – grounding shapes to steady the body and anchor us in the present.
💨 Air – breath and stillness, creating space for clarity and expansion.

We will then journey into Yoga Nidra - a guided deep rest that takes you beyond the limiting ego into the vastness of your deepest desires. Together, we’ll straddle the seasons: letting go of what has passed, welcoming what is to come, and resting in the alchemy of the in-between.

No experience is needed, just a willingness to rest deeply, receive fully, and allow yourself to be transformed.

*Please note there will be drumming during this class.

🧘 Regular Classes & Saturdays Returning

Our weekly classes continue to grow in strength and softness, and I am delighted to share that Saturday morning Hatha classes return on 11th October at . Enjoy flowing movement, breath, and meditation, and then wander just 10 steps into the delight of the Organic Feast store and cafe. Buy some delicious, wholesome food to take home and perhaps join us for a coffee or tea in the cafe.

Thank you, as always, for showing up so wholeheartedly. Whether in retreat, immersion, or our weekly rhythm of classes, it is an honour to share these practices with you.

With warmth and gratitude,
Fy, Ange and Ellen

✨ Something new is stirring... ✨

Our Saturday Hatha classes are making their way back - traditional in essence, with a sprinkle of Saturday energy to ease you into the weekend.

We’ll gather once more at Organic Feast, where practice flows into everyday life. Step out of the studio and straight into the Organic Feast café and wholefoods store, carrying the energy of class into nourishing food, good coffee, and a continuation of your health journey.

Stay tuned — Saturdays are about to feel a little more grounded, balanced, and beautifully whole again. 🌿

As the wheel of the year turns, the Spring Equinox arrives, a tender moment of balance where day and night meet as equals. It is a pause in time, an invitation to reset, and to welcome the season of renewal with fresh energy.

On Sunday 21st September, 4.00–6.00pm at The Parish Hall, East Maitland, we will gather for a two-hour immersion of Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra.

✨ Why join us?

Yin will gently clear the residue of winter, supporting the Liver and Gallbladder meridians so your body feels spacious and renewed.

Yoga Nidra will invite profound rest, dissolving old patterns and opening you into expansion — so you re-emerge aligned with spring’s vibrant rhythm.

You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply nourished, with tools to carry balance into your daily life.

You are warmly invited to come exactly as you are - to soften, to be held, and to plant seeds of renewal in both body and spirit.

Spots are limited and already filling (we have just a few remaining). If you feel called, I encourage you to secure your place today:

Fridays 9:30am – Bliss Out (Somatic Yoga, Breathwork & Meditation)

End your week with a class designed to nurture your whole being.
Our Bliss Out Yoga Class in East Maitland blends gentle yet strengthening movement (Asana), breathwork (Pranayama), and restorative meditation to help you feel grounded, spacious, and renewed.

The movement practice focuses on mobility and strength, supporting a body that feels open, resilient, and at ease. Each sequence is mindful and accessible, making this class suitable for all levels - from beginners exploring yoga for the first time, to seasoned practitioners wanting to deepen their awareness.

Our breathwork practices bring clarity and stability to the mind, teaching you tools to carry into everyday life. These techniques help reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and restore energy, making them a powerful addition to your overall wellness.

We close with a guided lying-down meditation, often a body scan, to invite deep rest and a profound mind–body connection. This simple but effective meditation technique helps release tension, enhance awareness, and create inner calm.

Perfect for those seeking yoga and meditation in Maitland or the wider Hunter Valley yoga community, this class is a weekly reset - a chance to pause, restore, and reconnect with yourself. Step out of your Friday practice feeling lighter, steadier, and ready for the weekend.

Yoga + Wellness Retreat II Ubud, Bali II March 2026

When you step into your room in Bali, I want you to exhale.
To feel the softness of space prepared just for you. Light spilling across linen, a quiet corner to journal, a balcony opening to the lush green beyond.

These rooms are more than places to sleep. They are sanctuaries for rest, for reflection, for integration. After long mornings of practice and afternoons of adventure or stillness, they invite you to return home to yourself.

Whether you travel solo or with a dear friend, your room is a cocoon. A place to stretch out, to nap, to dream, and to remember that retreat is as much about what happens in these quiet moments as what unfolds on the mat.

There are just a few of these beautiful spaces waiting to welcome you in March 2026.

Sometimes teaching yoga is the most heart-opening, joy-filled thing I could imagine. Other times, it asks me to sit in the fire of someone else’s resistance.

When this happens, I take a breath and remember: their experience is their own. My role is not to fix or convince, but to offer. To stand steady in the practice, and hold a ground where each person can explore in their own way.

Teaching isn’t always easy. It asks for courage, compassion, and the willingness to meet people exactly where they are - even when where they are feels uncomfortable.

I remind myself of this mantra:
“I meet each student where they are, with compassion and steadiness. Their resistance is not mine to hold.”

Yoga isn’t about perfection, or even about getting it “right.” It’s about creating a space where we can soften, resist, stumble, begin again, and through it all, return to ourselves.

You are always welcome to join me in this practice, exactly as you are.

My Mantra
“I meet each student where they are, with compassion and steadiness. Their resistance is not mine to hold; I offer clarity, patience, and presence. May this space remind them they are safe to soften, safe to be exactly as they are.”

Namaste
