Yoga Brave, East Maitland (2026)

20/02/2026

There is something quietly special about Saturday mornings.

A slower beginning.
Light filtering through high windows.
The week softening its grip.

Our Saturday practice with Kylie Rose is a steady and thoughtful weaving of movement and meaning. Philosophy is not something spoken at you - it is gently threaded through the room, grounding the practice in something deeper than shapes alone.

Kylie teaches with precision and care. Each pose is safely and intelligently cued, transitions are intentional, and options are always offered. Whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for years, you will feel both supported and expanded.

We gather in the Parish Hall, East Maitland - a light-filled space with open rafters, generous windows, and green trees standing quietly around us. There is room to breathe here.

Saturday
Parish Hall, East Maitland
All levels welcome

Come as you are. Leave steadier than you arrived.

Start your Friday right with one (or two) of our Yoga classes - which always include Pranayama, Asana and Meditation as well as the gentle teachings of Yogic Philosophy (with every teacher). 🙏

There is something profoundly healing about women in circle.

Not curated.
Not performing wisdom.
Not trying to be the most evolved in the room.

Just real.

Breathing together.
Speaking truth without polishing it.
Listening without needing to fix.
Sitting in the ordinary holiness of being human.

When women gather without agenda - when there is no transaction, no hierarchy, no proving - something ancient reawakens. The nervous system softens. Armour loosens. Laughter comes easily. Tears come honestly. And what remains is simple: connection.

We don’t need to be louder.
We don’t need to be shinier.
We don’t need to be anything other than present.

There is power in that.

The kind of power that steadies rather than dominates.
The kind that nourishes rather than performs.
The kind that reminds us we were never meant to do this life alone.

May we continue to create spaces where women can gather in their wholeness - messy, magnificent, tender and strong.

That is enough.

This week on the mat II The 4th Yama – Brahmacharya II

Brahmacharya is often translated as moderation, yet it reaches deeper than simply “doing less.” It invites us to steward our energy with intention, to be present with what nourishes and sustains us, and to choose wisely where we place our attention.

In our busy lives, it asks us to notice the pull of distraction, the scattering of energy, and the ways we overextend. It is not restriction, but devotion - devotion to steadiness, to vitality, and to what truly matters.

On the mat, Brahmacharya may show up as gentleness in movement, honouring your capacity, and finding balance between effort and ease. Off the mat, it may look like protecting your mornings, softening your evenings, saying no when needed, or conserving your energy for what enriches your life.

This practice is a reminder: our energy is sacred, our attention is powerful, and moderation allows both to flourish.

Here is a short invocation for you:

✨ Brahmacharya – The Yama of Wise Energy ✨

O Brahma, Keeper of Creative Energy
Guide us to gather, not scatter,
To move with intention, breathe with awareness,
And honour the sacred rhythm of our own life force

Let us act with moderation,
Choose with discernment,
And direct our energy toward what nourishes, sustains, and uplifts

In stillness and in movement,
May our practice become devotion
A conscious offering of body, mind, and spirit

From your Hearts to Yours...Namaste 🙌

Asteya - non-stealing.

This week we reflect on Asteya - often translated as non-stealing, but on the mat it asks something subtler of us.

Not stealing from the body by forcing or rushing.
Not stealing from the breath by holding it tight.
Not stealing from ourselves - or others - through comparison, expectation, or self-judgement.

Asteya invites us into honesty and enoughness.
To meet the practice as it is.
To let this moment be sufficient.

You’re warmly welcome to practise with us this week:

✨ Tuesday 9:30am - Gentle Hatha
✨ Wednesday 8.30am Yin Yoga
✨ Wednesday 6:00pm - Restorative
✨ Friday 8.00am Strong and Slow
✨ Friday 9:30am - Somatic Yoga
✨ Saturday 8:00am - Foundations

And a little seasonal note -
Our Autumn Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra Immersion has opened up a few more places as we’ve moved to the Parish Hall, allowing us to practise together witnessing the sun lowering and the light softening through the windows.

🌿 A slow, nourishing immersion aligned with autumn, breath, and letting go.

Come as you are.
Nothing to take.
Nothing to prove.

Satya - truth.

On the mat, truth is simple.
It’s the honest sensation of the body today - not yesterday, not the version we imagine we should be.
In the mind, it’s noticing the stories we tell and softening our grip on them.
In how we see others, it’s remembering we are only ever meeting a moment, never the whole story.

Practising Satya is an act of kindness.
Seeing clearly.
Listening closely.
Allowing what is to be enough.

You’re warmly welcome to practise with us this week:

✨ Tuesday 9:30am - Gentle Hatha
✨ Wednesday 8.30am - Yin Yoga
✨ Wednesday 6:00pm - Restorative
✨ Friday 8.00am - Hatha Yoga
✨ Friday 9:30am - Somatic Yoga
✨ Saturday 8:00am - Hatha Yoga

Come as you are.
Truth meets you there.

Fy, Ange and Kylie 🙌

*I just had to pop in a blast from the past for our beautiful tree 🌳

30/01/2026

For those of you who have visited our humble home for workshops and classes, you will no doubt remember our beautiful oak tree. She has been a guardian to this land and nesting home for many birds and animals for over 100 years.
After the many storms and recent strong winds, her main bough /limb has completely split. After consultation with our Tree Surgeon, we have been advised there is no alternative but removal. We will mulch the timber and keep it on the property - ‘all that remains’.
We are praying that the main tree is still healthy and will do everything we can to save her.
Please hold this beautiful tree in your thoughts, especially if you have enjoyed her company over the years.

Thank you

🙏🏼🌳

This week at Yoga Brave, we begin a gentle exploration of the Yamas and Niyamas - the ethical heart of yoga - starting with Ahimsa, the practice of non-violence.

Ahimsa invites us to soften our inner language, to move with care, and to meet ourselves exactly as we are. On the mat, this might look like listening more closely, resting when needed, or choosing presence over performance.

Here’s how we’ll be moving and resting together this week:

• Tuesday 9.30am - Gentle Hatha with Angelique
• Wednesday 8.30am - Yin Yoga with Kylie
• Wednesday 6.00pm - Restorative Yoga with Fyona
• Friday 8.00am - Hatha with Fyona
• Friday 9.30am - Bliss Out with Fyona
• Saturday 8.00am - Hatha with Kylie

Each class offers a different doorway into practice - strength, stillness, restoration. All held within the same invitation: to move kindly, breathe fully, and honour your own rhythm.

We’d love to welcome you on the mat this week 🤍
Bookings via your Momoyoga app or our link in bio.

Meet the Teaching Team of Yoga Brave

Yoga Brave is held by three women who care deeply about people, presence and practice.

Kylie Rose, Angelique Pratten and Fyona Coulton come together with over 30 years of combined teaching experience and a very generous 150+ years of life experience between us - gathered through curiosity, challenge, change and a few good plot twists along the way.

Each of us brings a different rhythm, voice and way of holding space, yet we are united by a shared devotion to yoga as a tool for steadiness, resilience and connection.

We didn’t come together to build something big.
We came together to care well.

To offer practices that are thoughtful, accessible and grounded in real life.
To meet our community where they are - in strength, in tenderness, in transition.
To create spaces where people feel supported, seen and welcome exactly as they are.

Yoga Brave is not just a timetable of classes.
It is a living, breathing community shaped by experience, listening and heart.

We are grateful to walk this path together, and to practise alongside you.

Fy, Ange and Kylie 🙌

Kylie Rose Peace it Together

Yesterday, our website vanished

At first - a tightening. A quick flicker of dread.
And then… the remembering.

✨ Aparigraha ✨Non-attachment.

The soft release of what we thought we needed.
I noticed how much energy had been spent waiting for this moment to drop - how much space it had quietly occupied. When it finally did, the veils of Maya fell one by one, revealing something unexpectedly simple and clear.

What if I didn’t have a website?
What if less was actually more?
From curiosity came spaciousness.
From spaciousness, opportunity.
From there - a new way forward 🌾

✨ Welcome to our new link ✨

One gentle doorway to:
• Yoga classes
• Workshops & immersions
• Retreats
• And soon, Reiki 1:1 sessions
No noise. No excess. Just practice, presence, and connection.

👉 Find everything via our new link in our bio

Sometimes what falls away is exactly what sets us free....

Big Love,
Fy 🙌
