Restore & Return ✨

A coming home to you.

As the pace of life accelerates, it becomes even more important to slow down, soften, and listen inward.

This 2.5-hour workshop is an invitation to land back in your body, release what’s been weighing on you, and reconnect with the quiet steadiness within.

Across gentle restorative shapes, deep rest, breathwork, and guided reflection, you’ll be held in a space designed to nourish your nervous system and bring you back to centre.

🕰 4–6.30pm

✨ Alone we can go far, but together we rise higher. ✨

Partner practice is a reminder that strength isn’t just physical, it’s about trust, balance, and moving in harmony with one another. When we support each other, we unlock shapes and spaces we couldn’t reach alone.

Grateful for the reminder that connection is the true foundation of growth. 💫

WORKSHOP
Shoulder Mechanics

Do you struggle to figure out the alignment and understanding of your shoulders? That’s because the shoulder girdle is a complex and highly mobile region of the body. The shoulder is like an orchestra, when it is in sync and being well conducted it performs beautifully. But there are a lot of moving parts that can break down and get out of sync. Coordinated muscle action is essential for movement and stability in the shoulders. In this practice we will dive into the anatomy to understand the entire shoulder girdle, arms and hands to create a sustainable practice full of possibility. Great for anyone with shoulders, Yogi or not!
