Rhiannon has travelled up from the Sunshine Coast to be with us in the studio space tomorrow ✨

She’s not new to Mission Beach — many of you will already know her gentle presence from classes here over time. It feels really special to have her return and hold space in this way.

What she’s offering tomorrow is something to truly receive…
A morning to soften, to be bathed in sound, and to sit with the beautiful medicine of cacao.

There are still a few spaces available if you’ve been feeling the quiet pull.

Rhiannon has also offered a little gift for those who might be sitting on the fence — you can use the code RECEIVE when booking.

Just come as you are… and let yourself be held in the light 🤍

Sri Ganesh is excited to be coming to our little studio in Mission Beach. He is the author of many books and comes from Kerala in South India.
Here is some more information about what to expect when you come on the 21st April (Tuesday night)
I'm excited to see you there and welcome you to the space if you haven't been before and hug you if you are returning home x

April Workshops — a little note from me…

The creek is still running…
softly, steadily… a quiet reminder that not everything needs to rush.

There’s something about April here — a subtle turning.
A sense of beginning to release… so we can gently move inward.

Kellie has returned to us after nearly two years tending to other commitments, and it has been so deeply felt. Her offering filled with ease… a reflection of how much she is loved here, and how ready we all were to receive her again.

Renee is holding a tender space this month with Release, Receive & Realign — a weaving of cacao, yin, breath, reiki and sound. A few spaces remain for those who feel drawn.

Nouna opens the doors for our younger ones with her Holiday Workshop — playful, grounding, and held with care (bookings directly with her on 0491 282 222).

Liz brings us 3 Treasures of Qi Gong & Tai Chi — a gentle, rhythmic practice to cultivate energy, balance and flow. A beautiful way to meet the body where it is, and move with it.

Gosia’s offering on the 26th feels perfectly placed in this seasonal shift — a 3-hour workshop devoted to softening, releasing, and preparing the body to turn inward. A quiet transition… from holding, into letting go.

Dari brings a new expression this month — a Sunday of Cacao & Yin, breath, sound and soul… a space to land gently at the end of the week.

And the Metta Breathwork Event… a heart-led journey back to self. There are a small number of discounted spaces still available for those who feel the call.

If you feel drawn to any of these offerings, I gently encourage you to book online and become part of this month’s unfolding story.

It feels like a month of softening…
of listening…
of allowing what is ready to fall away, to do so.

With love,
Danielle x

April at Sundance…

What can I say about April?

As I’m writing this, the crickets are in full chorus, the moon is rising, and the rain has paused — like a heavy question left unanswered, lingering in that moment where the breath forgets to move....

I wanted to share this before tomorrow, just so you know… this is no April Fools.
This month is truly filled with some incredible offerings.

When teachers emerge and step forward to share their gifts, it feels important to honour them — because they are the ones who hold the space, who create the containers for us to fill our cups… and let them overflow.

Imo is stepping in with two additional classes for the cooler months — opening up a Monday morning and a Tuesday evening (yes… evening candlit classes are back ✨). This class comes just after her Somatic Stress Release Flow at 4:30pm… why not stay for both?

Kim continues to grace us on Wednesdays and Fridays. After her beautiful Pranayama breath workshop last month, we welcomed a few new regulars — and there is always room for more.
That buzzy bee Bhramari breath had us sounding like a full hive 🐝… so much joy.

And our Sunrise Movement & Meditation is still gently anchoring Friday mornings at 7am — all are welcome.

With love,
Danielle x

Metta Breathwork Workshop w/- Sri Ganesh & Maliya all the way from India to share their wisdom and energy. They're are doing a tour up the East coast and have chosen Sundance to host them - so Mission Beach if there is ever a time to feel close to the energy of learning the heart work of breathwork - please check this out - we still have 4 early bird tickets left (20% discount)

There is also an opportunity to win a 50% discount sponsorship to their Ayurvedic retreat in India. I attended the retreat space in India, two years ago and it is still in my being as one of the most incredible experiences of my life.

The Practice

Each session weaves together:

Conscious connected breathing
Mindful body awareness
Loving-kindness meditations
Heart-centered awareness tools (practices to shift from the thinking mind into the heart space)
Radiating loving energy exercises (tools to invite others into your compassionate, loving energy field)
Deep rest and integration
The experience is guided, safe, and nurturing - allowing emotions, memories, and tension to be released with compassion rather than effort or force.

Benefits

Calms the mind and balances the nervous system
Releases emotional blockages and old patterns
Cultivates self-acceptance and inner peace
Strengthens connection to the body and present moment
Increases vitality, clarity, and joy
Awakens the heart’s natural capacity for love
Metta Breathwork is not about forcing change or reaching a goal. It is a return to home - to your body, your breath, and your heart. By honouring the wisdom of Ayurveda, the guiding forces of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, and the medicine of loving breath, every session is an opportunity to meet yourself fully, cultivate compassion, and awaken the quiet strength and love that have always been within you.

...when things happen around you, you can get caught in the crossfire of someone else's story.

Tania has been teaching us of the Niyamas:- these may help you.

When caught in the crossfire of someone else's drama or story, applying the Niyamas (internal observances) helps protect your inner peace and maintain emotional boundaries.

The most applicable Niyamas in this scenario are:

Santosha (Contentment/Acceptance): Finding peace with the present moment, even when it is challenging. This allows you to accept that a person is struggling without getting caught up in their drama or feeling compelled to fix them. It is the ability to maintain inner joy unshakeable by external circumstances.

Svadhyaya (Self-Study/Reflection): Reflecting on your own reactions. Ask yourself: Why am I getting drawn into this story? What is my desire to fix or take sides? This helps you recognise when you are slipping into a "rescuer" role (a part of the "victim triangle").

Tapas (Self-Discipline/Right Effort): Having the discipline to step back, hold boundaries, and not feed the drama. It is the willpower to refuse to be a messenger, a sounding board for gossip, or a participant in other people's chaos.

Saucha (Purity/Cleanliness): Clearing your mind and space of negative emotions and toxic input. Keeping your mind "uncluttered" helps you remain clear, friendly, and cheerful rather than becoming distressed by external drama.

Ishvara Pranidhana (Surrender/Devotion): Letting go of the need to control the outcome of the situation or to save the person involved. It is trusting that you can offer support without being enmeshed in their crisis

Dari has consistently offered to you, the locals of Mission Beach, an incredibly held space at the studio. I personally love to see the returns of people who have experienced her ability to hold space. Although so unassuming and tiny, her energy is huge and she is adored by many along this Cassowary Coastline from Cairns, El Arish, Gordonvale even up into the tablelands. Allow her to become your new favourite thing to do once a month.

If you're planning to book, please do so as soon as possible, as she takes the days beforehand to travel and prepare your sacred space.

If you haven't experienced one of our mini 'Retreats to Nature', then you are in for a sweet surprise, no plane tickets to book, nothing extra to do - fruit is provided and teas, just come as you are and settle into the forest by the warmth of community, being held by Dari.

Thank you for listening to me x enjoy this sun shining day x see you Saturday if you've already booked, I will be there!

ooooo the sun is shining x and a beautiful day to celebrate the return of Kellie to the sacred space of the studio x It has been calling her back, quietly, relentlessly and everyone is always asking after you, beautiful woman. Be quick for this one...

It's been some time since I have stepped onto the mat to teach. Family and work priorities took centre stage over the last year or so. And I have missed the precious moments of shared experience that are unique to the yoga studio. The pulse of the group energy, the palpable sense of love permeating our existence, the tingles of vibration when our voices join to chant. All the juiciness!

I am so very happy to be coming back to this space! Starting 12 April in Mission Beach. But with more to come this year. If you are in the area I would love for you to join me 💕✨🤍

My dearest friend Kim is sharing something very close to her heart — the sacred practice of pranayama.

Through the gentle and dynamic rhythms of the breath, she guides us through the lineage of yoga, inviting a deeper connection back to ourselves.

Pranayama has the power to calm the nervous system, clear the mind, and restore balance in the body — a simple yet profound way to come home to your breath.

I feel so grateful to share this offering with you this Saturday 9-10:30am we still have some seats avaialble x

I love this woman. How is it that two souls meet in person after spending years conversing in each other's dreams? Imo and I have been calling into the wild wind for the same answers, for the same truth and I LOVE that we are finally sharing space together, alongside each other and seeing what she can create!

She is a weaver and care giver of this planet to feed the hungry souls, looking for relief in this world of chaos... and did I mention, I LOVE her?!?

Come and find her every Tuesday 4:30pm @ Sundance Studio for SOmAtiC StrEsS ReLeAsE FloW!

✨ A very special warm welcome back to Mission Beach ✨

Some teachers leave a quiet, yet potent imprint on a place… and when they return, it feels like something sacred is coming home.

This Sunday we welcome back the beautiful Tania Bainbridge, a long-time yoga teacher who many of you will remember from her previous teachings in Mission Beach, El Arish and Innisfail. She stole the hearts of many and while it has been two years since she last shared her practice here, she has continued teaching to these communities online from Adelaide.

Tania has been devoted to the path of yoga for over 30 years, studying traditions such as Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Restorative practices and Buddhist philosophy. Her approach is gentle, wise and deeply grounded in the essence of yoga — creating a space where people can slow down, breathe and reconnect with themselves.

This Sunday she will be offering “The Sacred Truth of Yoga”, in person, a beautiful opportunity to step out of the rush of life and return to the deeper heart of the practice.

To make it easier for our community to join, we’ve decided to extend the early-bird tickets until March 19.

If you feel the call to join us, now is a beautiful time to reserve your place while the early-bird is still available.

Come join us in the rainforest, move gently, breathe deeply, and welcome Tania back to our community.

🌿 Sunday at Sundance Studio, Mission Beach
