All classes included with entry no need to book.
Saturday 3rd May
Vinyasa is a style of yoga characterized by stringing postures together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, using breath. Commonly referred to as “flow” yoga. Vinyasa classes offer a variety of postures and no two classes are ever alike.
Suitable for all bodies, mindful and breath focused.
60 minute vinyasa flow, incorporating strengthening sequences, building a fire within.
Essence Hour- a beautiful immersion of Gentle Yoga, Sound Healing, Meditation, and flower essence sprays to take you on a journey to tranquility and calm. Intuitively guided, you will be taken on a journey of healing, transformation and relaxation.
Connect, heal and feel rejuvenated through NLP, hypnosis and Reiki modalities. Immerse yourself in a meditative sound bath experience and allow yourself to fall in love with who you are.
Awaken, align, and harmonize your energy centers through movement, breath, and intention. In this 75-minute all-levels yoga journey, we will explore the seven main chakras, using a powerful combination of asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), mudras (hand gestures), and guided intention to bring balance and vitality to your body, mind, and spirit. We will move through a progressive flow, dedicating time to each chakra, unlocking its unique qualities and will close with a deep guided meditation and dharma reflection, allowing you to integrate the practice and step off the mat feeling balanced, empowered, and deeply connected. This class is accessible for all levels—come as you are and leave feeling aligned, centered, and energized
In this workshop, we will explore the transformative powers of Kundalini Yoga as a technology for self-healing. Through specific movement, breath and meditation sequences, we will work directly with the subconscious mind — the deep inner terrain where many of our patterns and responses originate. Much of what we find ourselves up against in life can be traced back to early experiences — even before childhood — including imprints we have inherited both genetically and environmentally. Regardless of our upbringing, these subconscious impressions shape how we relate to life, to others, and to ourselves as adults. Join Jamie for a powerful journey of unravelling old patterns and lovingly reparenting the inner child from within. This class is open to all — no prior experience necessary, just an open heart and a willingness to transform.
This meditation is designed to take people on a journey of reflection, visualisation, meditation, and body awareness. You will experience QiGong and Zenthai Flow inspired movement practices, art therapy, and a vivid soundscape guided meditation journeying with live instruments. Examples of some instruments used are hand pan, didgeridoo, throat singing, and flute. During the sound journeying, my voice guides you through specific environments and sensations, and asks questions that prompt inward reflection. You will be prompted several times to meet spirit animals of certain emotional qualities, their own manifestations.
Come along and discover how you can begin your Yoga journey through the loving connection between movement and breath. A great class that will cater for both Beginners and Intermediates. There will be plenty of variations provided during this class, to help you get the best out of your practice, whether you are new to yoga or wanting to refresh your love of movement. There will be a requirement for you to get up and down from your mat, which involves being on your knees for periods of time, so please ensure you assess your ability to do these movements, safely, prior to attending class.
In this 75-minute class, June will guide you to find stability from the very root of each pose. As we find the ground, we experience the balance, and then we can explore our own unique shape of the body to hold the pose. Join June, a certified SmartFLOW® Yoga Teacher and Trainer, for a mindful alignment practice.
I believe that Hatha Yoga is for EVERYONE from the very young to the not-so-young, and all Genders and it doesn't matter if you're a beginner or experienced. My classes are fun, interactive and promise a true sense of self fulfilment and achievement, and I believe that you always should only do what your body can do. It’s not about perfecting a Pose, but getting the Flexion, Extension, Balance & Breath out of all your poses.
Join in or listen traditional Indian bhajans and qawwalis with traditional instruments such as Sitar, Harmonium, Dholak and Tabla.
Combining the essence of Yin Yoga and the vibration of crystal bowls, Josie will guide you through a session to release, rejuvenate and restore. The vibrational frequencies of the crystal bowls have the ability to move through skin, fluid and bones of the body to create a full body relaxation and recalibration down to the level of the cellular structure. Yin targets the connective tissues, through extended holds, allowing oneself to delve deeper inwards while stretching out the connective tissues in the body to help release tension and increase flexibility. Combining this with breathworks and sound healing, the session will recalibrate the body and mind, releasing that which no longer serves you, bringing the body, mind and soul back to harmony. Bring : 2 blocks, 1 bolster - optional blanket/towel, strap.
This trauma-informed yoga class prioritises safety and choice, focusing on body awareness, gentle movement, and mindful breathing to support people reconnect with their bodies and build trust after experiencing trauma.

Since 1970 Sahaja Yoga has been conducting free meditation classes in and around Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and also world-wide. We are a voluntary organisation funded by donations. Sahaja Yoga is based on an experience called 'Self Realisation' where a dormant energy known as kundalini is awakened and connects you to your higher self. This is known as yoga or union with 'The Self'. After self realisation, you become much more balanced and harmonious and mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually your wellbeing improves. Sahaja Yoga Meditation is always free. You can check out more information on our website: www.sahajayogaqld.com
Join Samantha Maree and gather in community for a heart-warming experience of nada yoga, where music and mantra chanted weave together in a sacred space of connection; within and without. Nada Yoga is an ancient Indian practice, often called the "yoga of sound," that uses sound and vibration to purify the mind, harmonize the body, and connect with a higher state of consciousness. Kirtan, or devotional chanting of mantra, is one of the primary practices of Bhakti Yoga - the Yoga of devotion. Traditionally a call and response, you will be lovingly guided along your journey. Let your voice merge into the mantra, or simply soak in the vibrations. Mantras hold the power to uplift, heal, and transform. This is an opportunity to: • Release tension and reconnect with yourself • Cultivate inner stillness through sacred sound • Share in a heartfelt space of community and devotion

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the period of the 3rd & 4th of May aligns with Autumn, a season of reflection, release, and consolidating energy. Governed by the Metal element, Autumn relates to the Lungs and Large Intestine, inviting us to focus on letting go of what no longer serves us. This practice serves as an introduction to TCM and is designed to balance and nourish these systems, promoting the smooth flow of Qi and enhancing emotional clarity. Through mindful movement and breathwork, we will cultivate inner strength, release stagnation, and embrace transformation, empowering practitioners to step into the next phase with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity.
