International Yoga Day Friday 21 June

Are you looking to celebrate International Yoga Day in a meaningful way? At the Yoga Room we celebrate this day each year and invite our community to join us.

What is International Yoga Day?

International Yoga Day is celebrated on June 21st every year to raise awareness about the many benefits of practicing yoga. It is a day to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being through the practice of yoga.

How we are Celebrating?

We are holding a free class from 6.00-7.00pm followed by soup and dahl whilst watching a yoga related film.  There is no cost but if you would like to bring something sweet like a slice for our dessert, that would be lovely.

Please book for the online class using the link below.  We would love to see you.

Sound Bath 4.00-6.00pm Saturday 5 October

Let yourself be taken on a wonderful journey while being immersed by high vibrational sounds of amazing Gongs, Tibetan and Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls, Shaman Drum, Chimes, Overtone Xylophone, Monochord and beautiful Channeled Toning that will transmit powerful codes for healing, inspiration and connection to the higher realms.

A Sound Bath will bring you into a deep state of relaxation, stimulating the innate healing abilities of your body. It helps pain relief, the release of calming hormones, improves the immune system and sleep quality. It offers the opportunity to be away from daily concerns and just surrender to the flow of beautiful, soothing sounds making you feel uplifted and supported.

Paulien Gort is an experienced Sound Healer who runs regular Sound Baths in Sydney. Bringing in her experience with shamanic healing, she facilitates powerful shifts on a physical/emotional/spiritual level.

Yoga for Children and Young Adults - October Holidays

School holidays are almost here and we are offering classes and workshops to provide some educational fun for all age groups.  Come along and enjoy the fun and learn some new skills.  Times and dates are below:

Wednesday 2 October

9.30-11.00am - Yoga for Children 5-11yrs + Bath Bomb Workshop

This class explores yoga poses with guidance from the teacher and some input from the children.  We focus on mindfulness, observation, listening, concentration, and learning to be still.  The yoga poses are taught without expectation or judgment to encourage participation and confidence.   The class will be loads of fun and build skills and team work.  Following the class we will make bath bombs which your children can take home.  Please bring a plastic container to carry them home in.

11.15am-12.45pm Yoga for 12yrs+ and Natural Perfume Workshop

This class teaches various yoga poses in action.  It's dynamic and teaches coordination, focus, mindfulness and observation.  We will work as a team and work as individuals to listen, observe and work steadily through the class.  The students will also have some input and contribute to the poses we learn as a group.  At the end of the class there will be a relaxation segment - a time to be quiet and look inwards.  We will observe our breath and learn to settle ourselves and be still.
After the Class we will make a natural perfume in a roller ball which can be taken home.  There will be a choice of essential oils including base notes which are grounding, top notes which are typically energising such as citrus oils, and everything in between.
