THE ART OF REST

Yin to Nidra — Exploring Movement, Stillness and the Senses

A 90-minute exploration of movement, sensation and the subtle art of deep rest.

Rather than moving towards the end range of passive postures, we explore the intelligence of the body through subtle movement, pressure, hands-on adjustments and the sensitivity of change.

We begin to investigate where movement comes from, how the body responds and how less can often offer us more.

Drawing upon the philosophical foundations of yoga, particularly Pratyahara, the withdrawal of the senses, to reclaim our attention from external patterning and move towards a more intimate relationship with sensation.

There is a chain effect to rest. Through the gradual process of withdrawing, softening and becoming more sensitive, we begin to create the conditions for a deeper state of stillness.

The practice unfolds through three components:

1. Self-inquiry and contemplation — Exploring our relationship with movement, sensation and the senses.

2. Yin exploration — Subtle movement, intelligent pressure, hands-on adjustments and discovering where the body moves freely.

3. Yoga Nidra — Integrating the experience through guided deep rest.

A little journey through the physical, the philosophical and perhaps a few mystical moments.

An invitation to feel rather than achieve, to explore rather than push, and to discover the art of rest.

The Essential Intensive | Three Sessions

South West, Western Australia

A different approach to movement, the body and the mind.

Over the past twenty years, I have dedicated much of my life to studying, practising and teaching within the yogic traditions, Eastern philosophy and movement education.

Through years of observation, study and working closely with individuals, I have brought this knowledge together into a structured intensive program, which I have been offering in Byron Bay over the past four years.

What continues to inspire me is witnessing how a few simple understandings can profoundly change someone’s relationship with movement, both physically and mentally.

This work extends well beyond yoga postures or a traditional studio setting. It explores the fundamental patterns of how we move through everyday life, how we use our bodies, how we think, and how small refinements can create greater strength, stability, clarity and ease.

THE THREE-SESSION EXPERIENCE

This mini intensive is a condensed introduction to a much larger body of work.

Across three individual sessions, we begin to explore the relationship between the spine, muscular support, movement patterns and the mind.

The emphasis is on developing practical understanding rather than simply following a sequence of movements.

Through observation, conversation and physical practice, we explore how to move with greater awareness, reduce unnecessary physical strain and develop a more intelligent relationship with the body.

Each session is tailored to the individual, taking into consideration their experience, physical capacity and personal interests.

THE OFFERING

Three private, one-to-one sessions

Investment: $380 AUD

Location: South West, Western Australia

Suitable for those new to movement practice, experienced practitioners, teachers, or anyone curious to explore a different approach to physical and mental wellbeing.

Five Week Intensive

My five week intensives provide a personalised space for deepening practice and enquiry. Grounded in presence and shaped by individual needs, I weave together movement, philosophy, and breath. I invite you to explore what it means to meet yourself with consistency and care, not to fix or improve, but to listen more closely. This space offers rhythm and realignment, guided by my steady support. Across five weeks, with two sessions per week, we move through a process of discovery, gently unravelling, integrating, and returning to what feels true.

Who the Intensive Is For

I have designed this intensive for anyone interested in clearing the mind and understanding the functionality of the body. It is suitable for advanced practitioners, beginners, people with injuries, and teachers in their early years of teaching who wish to embody deeper aspects that may have been missed in initial training. It is also for those wanting to learn safe adjustment techniques, deepen pranayama practices, and gain greater control over their emotional space. Through this journey, I support your education towards a clearer, more conscious way of being.

The Philosophy and Embodiment

While I am not a psychotherapist, my teaching deeply integrates the philosophy of yoga to enrich mental and emotional wellbeing. Drawing from ancient texts such as the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, I support you to embody these teachings in practical ways that transform daily life. This philosophical foundation is a core thread I weave throughout the intensive, bringing mind and body into deeper harmony.

Schedule: Two sessions per week, each 75–90 minutes

Inclusions: Personalised pranayama and meditation practice (audio recording) and snapshot videos highlighting alignment and potential areas for growth.

Three-Month Mentorship

The Three-Month Mentorship is a personalised one-to-one experience for those wanting to work more deeply with me over time.

Drawing from more than twenty years of study, teaching and lived experience, I bring together Eastern philosophy, movement, breath, meditation, deep rest and embodied practice in a way that responds to the individual.

Rather than following a fixed method, the mentorship develops around you — where you are now, what you are exploring and what you would like to understand more deeply.

At the heart of my work is an understanding of two equally important aspects of being human: our capacity for strength and our capacity to soften.

This may mean working physically with strength, mobility, movement patterns and greater awareness of the body. At other times, the emphasis may move towards breath, meditation, restoration and learning how to genuinely settle and rest.

Eastern philosophy and self-enquiry are woven throughout the mentorship, bringing these ideas into practical conversations around how we live, how we use our energy, how we respond to pressure and change, and how we relate to ourselves and others.

What We May Explore

Depending on the individual, the mentorship can include:

●Movement, mobility and strength

●Understanding individual movement patterns

●Breath and pranayama

●Meditation

●Deep rest and restorative practices

●Eastern philosophy

●Embodied awareness

●Energy and attention

●Personal enquiry and reflection

●Practices and recordings to work with between sessions

My intention is not to fit you into a particular system, but to create a body of work that is relevant to you and can gradually become integrated into everyday life.

How It Works

The mentorship runs over three months, allowing enough time for consistency, observation and genuine integration.

Sessions are held privately with me and can take place in person, online, or through a combination of both, depending on location and availability.

Alongside the sessions, I may provide personalised recordings, practices, reflections and short movement videos to support the work between meetings.

Experience

I bring more than twenty years of experience across Eastern philosophy, movement, meditation, breath and embodied practice.

My background includes extended periods of formal study and immersion in India, Australia and New Zealand. Over time, this experience has developed into an approach that is less concerned with following one particular method and more interested in understanding the person in front of me.

The Three-Month Mentorship offers the time and space to explore this work personally, progressively and in depth.
