MINDFUL RESOURCING & CONNECTION BUILDING
a 6-week program for young people aged 14-17
This 6-week ‘Mindful Resourcing and Connection Building’ program has been specifically designed with young people in mind. Why? Because existing as a young person is both a gift and a challenge, as well as an opportune time to cultivate skills and ways of being that are conducive to living an aligned and meaningful life.
We believe everyone deserves to be introduced to mindful resourcing and effective strategies for emotional regulation, honest reflection, and interpersonal communication – the sooner, the better.
This program incorporates a blend of psycho-education and embodied facilitation tailored to a 14-17 year olds. Whether it be through orienting, utilisation of the breath, movement, connection to voice, nature’s wisdom, or written word… we believe in cultivating a new norm of interdependence and regulated responsiveness, rather than isolated overwhelm and reactivity. In other words, we can support one another (with whom we share environment) from a place of disconnection to connection – in sometimes seemingly small, yet cataclysmic ways.
Through our intimate group sizes we get to co-create a container of safety for explorative expression. Each session is uniquely infused with meditation, group contemplation, embodied resourcing, and playful connection building – creating new possibilities for both being and relating.
Participants are introduced to relevant tools, invaluable resources, and transferable skills that are strengthened through practice, and can be accessed well beyond their adolescent years. ’Tis the offering I wish I had, and for that very reason, my pleasure to host.
I invite you (or your loved one) to come be human, practice in community, and get a taste of what’s possible.

Autumn Shiatsu Yin Immersion

No yoga or fitness levels required – all welcome
Limited to 15 participants.
Shiatsu Yin 2 hour Immersion
In Shiatsu Yin we incorporate the two practices of Yin Yoga and Shiatsu touch to offer you a deeper and more nourishing experience while holding Yin postures.
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of body work. Shiatsu has adopted the same philosophy and principles of East Asian Medicine. This form of bodywork creates flow and balance of Qi and allows release for any physical or emotional holdings.
Yin poses are held for 4 – 5 minutes. In which each pose helps open and release the deepest layer of the muscle, the fascia, where the meridian lines lie. East Asian Medicine works towards and into Meridian Lines to support the body’s functioning. Both Shiatsu and Yin Yoga marry up beautifully to target the meridian lines and assist in nourishing and strengthening the areas of focus.
When holding these Yin Yoga postures an experienced Shiatsu practitioner will come around to the area and meridian of focus and offer Shiatsu touch, including palming, finger pressure, and acupressure holds to enhance the Yin Yoga postures.
Autumn is the season of harvest, gathering natures products before winters rest. Marking a time where we begin to turn inwards.
Shiatsu Yin offers restoration to the body and emotional balancing for the mind. By encouraging movement and flow within our internal, we can more purposefully create flexibility and flow within our external.
All levels of fitness and flexibility are welcome and anyone that loves to receive a little bit of touch.
(We recommend eating a light meal 2 hours before the event)

MINDFUL SOMATIC YOGA THERAPY
A COURSE FOR EMBODIED HEALING: ANXIETY & TRAUMA
MSYT is a 6-week, experiential and embodied journey, integrating mindful meditation, yoga, somatic therapy and psychotherapy techniques.
We explore practical tools, tips and experiences to help us work through the symptoms of anxiety, stress, trauma and grief. These techniques shed light on how to regulate our emotions and nervous system, connect to the wisdom of our body, mobilise stagnant energy, release deeply held tension and allow stuck processes to move forward. Through this embodied, trauma conscious experience we learn to approach ourselves with kind curiosity opening to a deeper understanding of ourselves and leading to greater self-acceptance, self-kindness and ease. A little about my recent journey: In 2019, after reading The Body Keeps the Score, I travelled to Massachusetts to study with Bessel van der Kolk (the author, and a leading expert on trauma). Bessel’s teaching gave me so much insight into myself, it was an invitation to learn more and it changed my life. It allowed me to feel deeply and to find compassion for myself, more compassion for others and a deep desire to support trauma survivors on the challenging journey to becoming whole.
I have since studied with exceptional trauma specialists including Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing), Stephen Porges (Poly Vagal Theory) and Tara Brach (Radical Acceptance) and completed a certificate in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy. MSYT is an integration of ancient and modern wisdom, yoga and Somatic Therapy.
This is an experiential course where we put theory into practice. We will establish safety through self-regulation practices, build resilience as we grow our capacity to be with more, and attune to the wisdom of our body to discover true self-compassion and connection.
It is not a replacement for therapy, but holistic support for your healing journey.
All welcome. No experience required.

Join Emma for this evening yin/restore class, with the added benefit of live singing (mantras and improvisations). No previous experience required.
Yin and Restorative yoga will be used to connect with the body and cultivate an inner awareness. The practice will deepen connection to the internal state and calm the nervous system, promoting the effects of conscious relaxation and bringing you into the healing capability of your own body. Accompanied by chanting, the body and inner landscape will drop deeper into relaxation and you will feel your mood enliven.

About Emma:
Emma found yoga to be a tremendous support for her career as a singer and a singing teacher. She experienced many improvements, including reduced performance anxiety and a much greater sense of ease whilst on stage. For Emma, the practice of yoga is the perfect accompaniment to a career in singing. Emma performs regularly with vocal group Coco’s Lunch, and with her jazz quartet in venues throughout Australia and beyond. Emma is a music lecturer at Monash University and Box Hill Institute and teachers yoga here, at The Retreat Yoga Studio (usually accompanied by her beautiful chants).
