Ah the dreamy in between days are here, a sweet liminal space. Perhaps this is a time to pause, breathe, and reflect on the year that’s passed. What moments brought you joy? What lessons did you learn? And what intentions do you want to set for the year ahead?

Spending time for yourself isn’t indulgent, it’s essential. It restores your energy, clears your mind, and allows you to move forward with clarity and presence.

If the idea of deep reflection and mindful reconnection calls to you, consider joining our April retreat in Capel. A few days immersed in nature, yoga, and community can be the reset your mind and body crave.

Yin Yoga is the perfect way to slow down, rebalance, and reconnect 🌿

In this practice, poses are held for around five minutes, staying close to the earth with support from the floor and bolsters. Yin gently works to improve mobility in the hips, pelvis, and spine, while offering a subtle, meditative space for reflection and presence.

We recommend this class for anyone who sits a lot, it's also ideal when fatigued, or following higher intensity exercise - a restorative counterbalance to the busyness of life.

The studio is closed for the summer break but you can find our free classes on our Youtube channel Surya Health Australia https://www.youtube.com//videos

The festive season can bring joy, and sometimes pressure, especially from extended family. When expectations feel heavy, it’s easy to get caught in self criticism or frustration.

This is where self compassion and radical acceptance become powerful tools.

Self compassion invites you to be gentle with yourself, recognising that it’s okay to feel tired, overwhelmed, or imperfect.

Radical acceptance reminds us that we cannot control others, only how we respond.

By embracing both, you create space to honour your own needs, set healthy boundaries, and move through the season with calm and clarity.

How do you practise self-compassion or acceptance when family pressures rise? We’d love to hear your strategies.

Living with fluctuating energy levels or a chronic illness can make movement feel challenging.

That’s why our classes are accessible, cues are low demand with clear choice, and sequences are thoughtfully designed to rebuild and restore your Prana - your life force.

Move at your own pace, honour your body, and reconnect with your inner self.

The sun - surya in Sanskrit - is ever present, yet appears from our perspective to rise and set each day. It is both a familiar friend and a formidable mystery that we cannot stare directly towards.

Honouring the power of the sun is about more than witnessing shifts in light and warmth, it’s about connection, gratitude, and awe ☀️ Isn't it amazing to exist in this moment, in your unique body and mind, on a planet just the right distance from the sun to sustain life?

Appropriate sunlight helps our sleep patterns, sets our metabolism, strengthens our bones. Yet too much sun exposure burns, dries, damages our DNA and leads to skin cancer.

The practice of Surya Namaskar inspires embodied discernment, asking us to look up and out, and turn inwards, to light our own lamp and set our intentions. When we flow with reverence and respect for the balance of solar and lunar powers, we radiate and reflect equally.

Set in our tranquil bushland studio in Banksia Grove, Gentle Flow is a low-moderate intensity practice blending rest, relaxation, self-awareness, and gentle sequences. There are reclining, seated and standing poses, with options to go deeper, work more strongly, or take it easy depending on how you feel.

With fewer chaturangas than a Vinyasa class, Gentle Flow focuses on healthy movement that hydrates the joints, strengthens muscles, and nurtures mindfulness, balance, and mobility.

Join us Mondays at 7pm in Banksia Grove or online. Book via https://suryahealth.punchpass.com/calendar

Body positivity can feel like pressure. It asks us to love our bodies all the time, even on days when we’re tired, stressed, bloated, or simply not feeling our best. And during the silly season, when routines change and expectations rise, that pressure can quickly turn into self criticism.

While we support you to set healthy behaviour goals, we know from experience (and the research supports this), that sustainable behaviour change does not come being harsh towards yourself. Start with self-compassion and give yourself what you need to be your best without shame or punishment.

How would it feel to offer yourself permission to be neutral, to be kind, to radically accept and thank your body for carrying you through another year? ☀️

Slow, steady, kind, and real. Our Vinyasa Slow Flow class moves with intention, flowing through intelligent sequences, building into a somewhat vigorous middle, then settling back into calm. Perfect for all levels, including beginners! Note, there is commonly weight-bearing on hands in this class, however we can get creative with options to explore.

Join us Thursdays at 9:30 am in Banksia Grove or online. Book via https://suryahealth.punchpass.com/calendar

Loneliness and social isolation can impact our health more than we realise. It can increase stress, affect sleep, and lower our overall wellbeing.

Community spaces like yoga classes and retreats are a positive space offering connection, belonging, and a chance to feel part of something bigger than your daily routine.

If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected, know there’s a place for you here - in person, online or at one of our retreats.

Community is powerful, and ours is pretty great ✨

Our Story

From our very first experiences with yoga, both of us knew that this would be an important aspect of our lives. The ability to tune in to the felt sensations, to slow the busy mind, and to explore movement in subtle and interesting ways intrigued us. For many years our meditation practice was central, along with attending regular yoga classes, and developing our skills through education and training in naturopathy and yoga teaching (Chandrika), massage, caring, social work and counselling (Satyam). As we have matured into our 40’s we’ve both achieved plenty of our career goals; being able to work in cancer and palliative care settings, Masters degrees in our respective fields, and now Chandrika is embarking on her PhD in integrative oncology. What we have come to understand is just how important keeping mentally and physically active, strong, and supple is in order to live out our dreams. The emphasis in our practices has gradually shifted to what we feel is ‘intelligent asana’, a mindful approach to moving and being. There’s room for many different approaches to yoga to suit different people during different phases of life. We hope that our small studio (max 10 students) is an inviting space where we can offer you the tools of yoga and support you to find the yoga that works for you. Each week during term time we have 5 classes on the schedule - dynamic vinyasa on Monday nights and Saturday mornings, meditative yin on Tuesday nights, therapeutic hatha on Wednesday evenings - ideal if you’re dealing with challenges on any level, and women’s wellness hatha on Thursday evenings to honour the particular phases of women’s lives including pre and post natal care.
