Hygge (pronounced ‘hoo-gah’) is the Danish art of creating a warm, comforting atmosphere that fosters feelings of inner peace, calm, and genuine connection. With Denmark consistently ranking as one of the happiest nations in the world, the Danes are clearly onto something special.

This mid-winter, we invite you to join Kelly & Nic for a cosy evening dedicated entirely to comfort and community.  Think deeply restorative yoga by candlelight, cocooned by props and soft blankets. Afterwards, we’ll linger to enjoy a warm spiced drink, sharing a sense of togetherness with your fellow SoHo yogis.

Aging well isn’t something you achieve. It’s something you practice, the way you practice anything that keeps revealing new layers the longer you stay with it. The Vibrant Pathway is a program built around that idea. You’ll look at how you move, how you rest, how you nourish yourself, and the stories you’ve been telling yourself about what this chapter is supposed to look like.

We are delighted to offer the opportunity to enrol on this module of our Yoga Immersion & Teacher Training with Amanda, Sheila & special guests. Open to intermediate students wishing to deepen their knowledge or certified teachers wishing to continue their professional development.

Learn the theory behind some of the most common pranayama and meditation techniques practiced in class and graduate feeling both confident and equipped to use more advanced pranayama and meditation tools at home.

The word mandala is Sanskrit for 'sacred circle'. For thousands of years, cultures from around the world have created mandalas; appearing in art, architecture and religious texts.

The creation of a mandala has often been used as a meditation tool. In this Creative Meditation workshop with Bec, we will create different forms of mandalas using pens, paint and other materials to focus the attention inwards, and leave the outside world outside. This allows us to experience a real sense of peace and calmness.

Beginners welcome! No art experience is necessary and all materials will be supplied.

Exhausted from doing so much?

The most traditional of all yoga practices is meditation. For centuries yoga was synonymous with meditation, and only in recent decades has the physical practice of yoga asana become predominant. But meditation remains at the heart of all yoga lineages, and just as yoga asana practices and styles have evolved over the years, so have meditation techniques. Mindfulness as a form of meditation has become globally recognised as a therapeutic practice for stress-reduction, but the techniques draw heavily upon centuries old yoga traditions.

In this workshop we will explore some of the historical roots of meditation and how it evolved across the centuries and around the globe. We will review some of the most recent research findings on the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation as a tool for stress reduction, and learn mindfulness techniques that are simple, effective and accessible to all.

Double the fun in this juicy, love-affirming afternoon for couples. We’ll laugh together, stretch together, massage each other, meditate and enjoy chocolate treats, all while learning to give and receive pleasure generously.

Join Sheila Ferguson for this playful workshop to explore the flow of energy in your asana and bring your practice to life.

For energy to move productively, it needs at at least two points to travel between; Like the breath, from outside of us, into, and back out.

In yoga we can use three energy points ~pelvis~heart~palette~ along with the gifts of our breath and awareness, to expand our body and mind.

Immerse yourself in 2.5 hours of mindful movement beyond the physical body and into the depths of the energetic, mental and emotional layers of your being.

What is the origin of Hatha Yoga? What is the mysterious Kundalini? How can I experience it and how can it help my practice? What is unique about the human body? How can yoga help me to understand my body? Above all, how can these teachings help me to deepen my practice? These are some of the questions that we will be exploring at this workshop with globally renowned yoga philosophy and meditation teacher, Carlos Pomeda.

What is most unique about Tantra and tantric yoga philosophy? Quite simply, the fact that its teachings and practices are best suited for contemporary life. Tantra presents a sublimely inspiring view of the world and of human existence, one that incorporates all aspects of human existence: the heart, the intellect, the body and the environment.

Carlos Pomeda is a globally renowned yoga and meditation teacher who has spent over 50 years steeped in practice and study. His great love of the Indian yoga traditions, his insight, his humor and his deep connection with his audiences give him the ability to transmit the deepest scriptural teachings in a way that is clear, meaningful and applicable.

> Support your nervous system using delta wave-inducing practices

> Shift your inner dialogue with powerful “iffamations”

Nataraja is the symbol of Yoga.  His dance, the dance of bliss, represents the very nature of life, the rhythm of the universe and acceptance that everything is always changing. In this workshop we will explore the symbolism of Nataraja through sound and storytelling.  Understanding the symbolism is to understand ourselves. This class will include simple movement, pranayama and dhyana (meditation) practices infused with mantra. No experience is required.  We welcome loud voices, soft voices, squeaky voices and shy voices. Come along and explore the mystery of The Cosmic Dance.  The mystery of Yoga.

Winter is a time to rest and nourish, so what better way to raise funds than having a big (yoga) sleep? Join Amanda and your fellow SoHo Yogis to participate in a co-ordinated fundraising event across SEQ yoga studios, venues and online, incorporating restorative yoga, meditation & yoga nidra for deep rest.

The Big (Yoga) Sleep is designed to promote the importance of rest. Learning to rest is at the heart of living well, yet is often not prioritised in our society. Restorative yoga, meditation & yoga nidra (yoga sleep) are proven to help regulate the nervous system, improve sleep and alleviate the effects of stress & anxiety.

Tickets $50 each with all proceeds going directly to supporting the charity initiatives of The Yoga Partnership, bringing yoga to those who need it most in the Queensland community.

These introductory elements will help you quiet your mind and connect with your inner self, preparing you for the creative exploration to come. The heart of the workshop allows a beautiful lotus flower to emerge on canvas, using acrylic.

This workshop is suitable for ALL women, particularly those aged 35 and upwards.

Mantra chanting is an important component of Yoga. In this class we will look into the benefits of mantra chanting and how it is used traditionally to cross the vast ocean of the mind and enter into the heart. Chanting is an anchor that will constantly remind us where we are headed and is truly the simplest way to quiet the monkey mind.

We will use chants to invigorate; to soothe and soften and to strengthen helpful qualities that already exist within. The class will include simple movement, breathing practices and meditation infused with mantra.
