Soulful Sunday Sadhana - Akasha Space Element - Yin and Sound Bath
Soulful Sadhana is a 90 minute masterclass where we explore an expansive scope of the yoga practice. The physical practice (asana) is only one small piece of yoga, an important part but not where our exploration ends. So in this class we dive a bit deeper, exploring more philosophy, pranayama and meditation as well.
I will choose a theme/concept/teaching to explore and the class will essentially be a soulful masterclass orbiting around that. These classes may include; a short philosophy lecture, meditation, mantra, pranayama, asana, yin postures, nidra, and/or journalling. On September 14th we’ll explore the fifth of five Pancha Maha Bhutas, Akasha - Space Element.
This will be a special edition, the space element constitutes sound. So Trisha will come with her sound bowls and we’ll get a mini sound bath at the end of our session.
This class is dedicated to soul care. There is a poetic element to this practice, with a spiritual undertone. After practice we have herbal tea and pull a card from a deck.

Full Moon Women's Circle with Bianca
You are invited to join us for She Blooms - A Full Moon Women’s Circle this coming Sunday 7th September from 11:00 to 14:00 at Kaya Shala, Salt Rock.
There is something special that happens when women gather…
You can feel the safety and warmth radiating from each woman’s heart — her silent wisdom, her deep strength. You can’t help but be in awe at the beauty of the feminine in all her forms.🌹
Slowly, you begin to unravel. To open. To soften.
And then the magic begins to brew…
Hearing your story spoken back to you
Seeing your tears reflected in their eyes
Feeling held in all of your power, beauty and brokenness.
Raising your voice together in song and prayer.
This is the medicine of sisterhood. This is the power of circling as women.
You are invited to join us, under the light of the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius / Purvabhadra, as we gather again...
