The Retreat YOGA

Relaxation is the first proof.

The first thing women say here isn’t
“that was hard” or “I did it right.”
It’s:
“I actually relaxed.”

Not because they tried to.
But because their body finally felt safe enough to let go.

That’s where everything else begins.

At The Retreat, we offer a space where you don’t need to be fixed - just met, exactly as you are. Through presence, movement, and deep listening, we honour the healing power of being witnessed in your truth, without judgment or agenda. 💛

Allowing creates capacity.

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about letting what’s already here be here -
and releasing the constant forcing and resisting.

When the struggle softens,
life becomes more manageable.

Same situation.

Very different nervous system.

When I don’t make time for myself,
I have less capacity for everyone else.

When I do,
I show up calmer, steadier, and more available.

Yoga doesn’t change my experiences.
It changes my capacity to be with my experiences.

When everything feels overwhelming, it can feel personal -
like I’m failing at something everyone else manages just fine.

But overwhelm is often a sign of depletion, not inadequacy.

Capacity returns when I give myself space.
When I pause long enough to regulate, breathe, and reconnect.

Not all at once.
Not perfectly.
Just enough to feel steady again.

This is what regular practice gives you.

This is the last post in our - little bit silly for the silly season - *Summer of YOU series.

When the body finds ease, motivation follows.

When this becomes the place your body softens,
you stop negotiating with yourself
and quietly protect the time that restores you.

"yoga is about cultivating resilience and joy both on and off the mat" Meet YuYing.

What began as stretching for martial arts almost 10 years ago grew into a lifelong yoga practice for YuYing.

Training in both Vinyasa and Yin, he now shares yoga as mindful movement, where breath is the anchor for presence and ease.

His Vinyasa classes feature fluid transitions and intentional sequencing, while his Yin classes explore meridian theory through nourishing stillness.

Beyond teaching, he is a project manager, community yoga organiser, and parent of two teenagers.

For YuYing, yoga is about cultivating resilience and joy both on and off the mat - and he loves guiding others to discover that too.

Join YuYing Tuesday nights for Embodied Flow, and Mindful Yin

So many people think they need to be calmer, fitter, or more flexible before they start.

But that’s not how this works.

Turns out…

What actually matters is showing up - exactly as you are - and being met with support.

That’s what we’re here for.
At The Retreat, our classes aren’t about performance -
they’re about feeling welcome, supported, and at home in your body.
