A yoga and wellbeing school celebrating an integrative approach to body, mind, breath and beyond

We are the OM people

We are a community of like minded
people deeply committed to living our Yoga. Yoga is an ancient discipline that explores, develops, and integrates the body, mind, and spirit. The OM People offer events, immersions and teacher trainings which take practitioners deeper into understanding breath, yoga postures, meditation and philosophy. We encourage yoga practice delivered at a level appropriate for the practitioner. OM People Yoga provides an inspiring yet non-competitive and encouraging atmosphere to help you live a more conscious, connected and present life. Experience the limitlessness of who you are and reveal the OM Person within.

A yoga teacher can offer so much more than just guiding mindful movement.

The practice of Yoga can take us deep into connection with ourselves and as a system, Yoga is a profound catalyst for creating meaningful change in our lives.

Is this the experience facilitated by your Yoga teacher?

Feel free to share any qualities u look for that we don’t mention 🙏🏼

A window into Rishikesh.

2027 will mark 10 years of taking people to Rishikesh, India.

We travel here each year on a pilgrimage to honour the historical and cultural roots of Yoga.

To celebrate our relationship with Rishikesh ahead of our 2027 journey, this year we will be intermittently sharing content from our trips over the years.

Is India calling u?

Is a ritual a special ceremony that we participate in or is it an attitude…the way we create sacred time through our intentional actions?

There is great power in traditional ceremonies, such as our regular Vedic practice of Yajna (fire ceremony) handed down to us by our beloved

Ceremony can be a place of honouring what is sacred and that which sustains life.

Carried by tradition and pulled in the wake of rituals that have accessed deeper connection for 1000s of years.

Through ceremony we also have an opportunity to turn inwards, to sense what is subtle and remember our deeper nature.

But perhaps we can bring this same attitude to the rhythm of our regular days?

The way we prepare food, the way we make our bed, our yoga practice can all be daily rituals where we are shaken from the mundane and monotonous into a moment of presence and depth.

The way we pay attention creates the conditions for ritual and a doorway into daily remembering who we truly are.

Traditionally, this is what we call Yoga

You may have noticed that we don’t call our offerings trainings anymore.

Even though what we share is full of depth and knowledge we prefer to use the word immersion.

You shouldn’t have to become a teacher to know yoga more deeply. In fact, perhaps many of us become teachers before we were truly students, which can hijack our experience of studentship.

So, when u come to immerse with us there will be teachers in the room expanding their own practice and study to bolster what they share and there will be many people who have no desire to teach but are deeply devoted to their practice and their connection to themselves.

Each immersion is bolstered by recommended reading and a full manual… we are giant nerds after all :)

Join us this year to explore together.
• Swa Ta**ra - the traditional map of ta***ic Hatha yoga
• Beyond Rest - restorative practice, yoga niera and the neuroscience of rest
• Living Zen - finding balance and peace in a dynamic world

When was the last time you immersed?

This year we offer multiple opportunities to dunk into practice, learning and time for self reflection

For us this time away is how we explore yoga and ta**ra with true depth and connection…so much more than a 60 min class can allow

These immersions are the heart of The Bridge School - precious moments of practice, connection and togetherness. Time that can calibrate and expand us, with the effects felts for many months after.

Join us locally in Victoria or on an adventure overseas.

June - Swa Ta**ra - Sri Lanka
October - Living Zen - Japan

Step inside our yearly restorative immersion, where we don’t just practice restorative yoga.

We learn how to create the conditions for deep rest to occur… skills that you will take with you and use for many years to come.

That’s why we offer Beyond Rest as an immersion and not just a retreat. Deep rest and recovery is such a vital skill that we spend time exploring the neuroscience of rest, tools for individualised nervous system regulation as well as yogic practices.

This month @ The Bridge School we shared our annual Beyond Rest Immersion.

This 3 day restorative cocoon has become one of the immersions that we receive the most enquiries about…this no doubt speaks to the high levels of stress, fatigue and burn out we encounter every day through clinical work and yoga facilitation.

We need rest as much as we need to create and experience

Rest is not just stopping or sleeping.

We load our system in so many different ways each day and ideally the way we rest targets specific strategies for each of these load categories… think of it as your rest menu.

With our busy culture and the capitalist systems that continue to push and grind us into doing more, choosing to rest , making time for rest and actually practicing resting regularly is truly revolutionary.

Restorative Yoga is an elegant and masterful system for creating the conditions for deep rest, recovery and reconnection to ourselves

But there are so many other ways you can curate time to rest

So…how will you rest today?

We are incredible proud to introduce you to the newest graduates from our Hatha training program.

They spent 4 months studying the depth of Traditional Ta***ic Hatha Yoga and how we can make classes neuroscience informed and inclusive for all.

It takes a big commit to complete a training like this. Much time, effort, many hours of study and practice.

From here they have all the tools, maps and embodied experience to share this practice with others if they desire it.

We seal this training with a trip to Rishikesh to honour the cultural and historic roots of Yoga. This part is very important to us as people who practice Yoga very far away from its origins.

Here, with the mighty river Ganga and the Himalayan mountains watching outside our shala window we complete our time together with what we call a 💗celebration 💗 - experiencing each person share yoga from their hearts.

We don’t call it a ‘teaching test’ because in truth all we can ever do is acknowledge what has touched our hearts through years of practice and the experience of living… and then share that with others in the hope it may support them too.

Many tears were shed as the words and presence of each person touched us.

Thank you
