Weekly Classes
Offering weekly classes across various studios in the Blue Mountains, near Sydney.
My focus is on slower, imaginative and often more internal practices that develop self awareness and facilitate the meeting of our deep, inner selves.
Somatic Self-Care
Cultivate holistic wellbeing and self-connection through somatic practices that increase mindfulness, soothe and stimulate the vagus nerve and cultivate a harmonious mind-body connection.
Together we will move through gentle, creative and grounding sequences of mindful movement and body-based practices that draw from polyvagal theory (the vagus nerve), neuro-affective touch, somatic experiencing, yoga, breath-science, qi-gong and many more.
These classes are suitable for anyone who is curious about the mind-body connection, loves to explore their inner and outer landscapes of being and will be particularly beneficial for anyone managing anxiety, stress, recovery or who wants to regulate and nourish their nervous system.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra, or "yogic sleep," is a powerful and ancient relaxation practice that guides you into a state of conscious rest, allowing your body to relax while your mind remains aware. It often involves the use of a ‘Sankalpa’ which can be thought of as an affirmation or intention that aligns with your life purpose and self-actualization. This Sankalpa is stated three times at the beginning and end of the practice to be planted as a seed in the unconscious mind when the mind is at its most relaxed and malleable. The entire practice of Yoga Nidra is done lying down and can be thought of as a lying-down meditation. Suitable for everyone, Yoga Nidra is an amazing tool for all aspects of wellbeing due to the profound rest it offers to the nervous-system and to the mind.

Yin & Yoga Nidra
Join us for a deeply restorative hour at Shine Shakti Studio, Waratah Street, Katoomba.
This class begins with Yin Yoga — long-held, floor-based postures supported by gravity and guided by breath. Each pose is held for 3–5 minutes, giving the fascia (the body’s connective tissue network) time to gently respond and release. By meeting our edge with respect and softening into stillness, we invite spaciousness not only in the body but also in the heart and mind. Emotions and sensations may arise, offering us the chance to stay present and compassionate with ourselves.
We then transition into Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation often known as “yogic sleep.” Where Yin works with the physical body and fascia, Yoga Nidra works directly with the nervous system, inviting profound rest and deep integration. Together, these practices harmonize the body and mind: Yin unwinds tension held in the connective tissues, and Yoga Nidra allows that release to settle deeply into the subconscious, leaving you nourished, grounded, and restored.
All levels are welcome — simply bring yourself as you are.
