Finding the JOY in the EVERYDAY What is something from the everyday that gives you enormous amount of joy? The smell of rain on a hot foot path, a bird splashing in a bowl, writing with your favourite pen, clean sheets on the bed, the first sip of coffee? It's easy to overlook these micro moments bu...

Spending time in nature with family is one of the simplest ways to experience the heart of yoga. When we walk along the beach, wander through the garden with the people we love, we naturally slow down, breathe more deeply, and become present to the moment. Yoga teaches us that connection is at the c...

Yoga meets this seasonal turning beautifully. As the energy of nature begins to draw inward, our practice too can soften: longer, quieter breaths, unhurried movement, and space simply to arrive.

This week at Sankalpa Mandir.

Last week, our hearts were full as we celebrated a truly special milestone—one of our beloved students recently turned 80, marking not just a birthday but an incredible journey of dedication, vitality, and community. For nearly 20 years, Paul has rolled out his mat in class embodying the spirit of...

Sankalpa Mandir Yoga Studio is currently closed, enjoying a quiet breath and a little summer rest.

We’ll be reopening the doors on February 5th, ready to welcome you back to the mat with steady practice, thoughtful teaching, and a calm space to reconnect with yourself and one another.

Until then, may you move gently, breathe deeply, and hold your sankalpa (your heartfelt intention) close.

We’re looking forward to seeing you very soon.

Reopening: February 5

Here we are—our final week together for 2025. What a gift it’s been to practice side-by-side through the year: the steady breath, the quiet courage, the small breakthroughs, the laughter, the tenderness, the showing up. Thank you for being part of Sankalpa Mandir.

As we step from spring into summer, nature reminds us to slow down and find peace in its simple rhythms. Our yoga practice can mirror this by becoming a space to breathe deeply, soften, and reconnect. Whether it’s practising outdoors or simply pausing to notice birdsong, warm air or sunlight on th...

We had some very special visitors at Sankalpa Mandir this week — six beautiful yellow-tailed black cockatoos! They swooped gracefully into the garden, their distinctive calls echoing through the trees as they feasted on the banksias. and rested safely on the she oaks.  What a joy it was to pause ...

It has been quite noticeable since our return from a recent break, members of our yoga classes at Sankalpa Mandir are commenting on how the space is such a sanctuary of calm and that they experience a sense of peace from the moment they step inside.   The altar at the front of the space is a b...
