SoHo Yoga

✨ September is Breathwork Month @ SoHo! ✨ Breathwork has experienced a surge in popularity outside of the yoga environment in recent years, but modern breathwork is deeply rooted in the yogic tradition of Pranayama.

Derived from the root words ‘prana’ meaning ‘life force’ or ‘vital energy’, and ‘ayama’ meaning ‘expansion’, pranayama or breathwork is a way to access, direct and expand vital energy in the body. Various techniques can up-regulate, down-regulate or restore balance to the autonomic nervous system, having a direct physiological effect on the body and mind.

While most holisitic yoga classes will incorporate some element of pranayama, this month we will be sharing breathwork practices in EVERY class. And we are excited to announce a brand NEW regular ‘Yin & Breathwork’ class Mondays 7.30pm - 8.30pm commencing 7 September. Join Amanda to explore new techniques accompanied by deep myofascial release.

Bookings as always at the ‘Find A Yoga Class’ link in our bio site or via the SoHo Yoga Bne App. 🙏

#✨ Still the Mind, Escape the Grind - Meditation & Breathwork for Men with Alisa Craig - Sat 24 October ✨

Burnout rates among Australian men are the highest they have ever been, yet many men don't take action until their body does it for them - through exhaustion, poor sleep, chronic stress, anxiety, irritability, or a health issue.

Don't wait for a health scare, relationship breakdown, or complete exhaustion to become your wake-up call.

The answer isn't always to push harder. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop.

Inspired by the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, join Alisa - Teacher of Presence and Breathwork Therapist - for an immersive workshop combining conscious breathwork and guided meditation.

Whether you're completely new to meditation or have an existing practice and want to deepen your experience, this workshop offers a practical way to reconnect with yourself and discover a different way of being.

You'll leave with practical tools, a quieter mind, and a deeper understanding of how to access peace in the midst of a busy life.

Bookings at https://www.sohoyoga.com.au/whats-on/meditation-and-breathwork-for-men or via SoHo Yoga Bne App. 🙏

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage." ~ Anais Nin

I heard this quote in a yoga class recently and it really resonated with me. Courage doesn't mean having no fear or taking unnecessary risks, sometimes it is as simple as stepping outside of your comfort zone in a controlled environment.

It may be walking into a yoga class for the first time, starting a conversation with someone on the mat next to you, trying a new or challenging pose with the support of your teacher, or signing up for a yoga retreat or teacher training course.

At some point in my life each of these actions has been a step into the unknown that has enriched my life beyond measure. On and off the mat, small acts of courage create the mosaic of our lives and open doors to new friendships, relationships, experiences or opportunities that we cannot foresee.

What small act of courage will you perform today? Maybe it's trying out meditation for the first time this weekend at our 'Meditation & the Art of Stillness' workshop with Nic? Or signing up for our next Elevate masterclass with Danique on Sat 26 September? Or committing to a solo yoga retreat next year?

You never know . . . you might just surprise yourself! Amanda 🙏

✨ Embodying Expansion: Chakra Yoga & Meditation Retreat with Amanda & Guests ✨ At |30 April - 3 May 2027.

Yoga invites us to discover that everything we truly need is already within us.

In the Ta***ic tradition, the root of suffering is understood as a ‘contraction’ of our awareness — when we become disconnected from our deeper nature and sense of possibility. The path of yoga is therefore one of expansion: gently releasing the physical, emotional and energetic patterns that limit us, so we can experience more freedom, clarity and connection.

Through chakra-focused yoga, meditation, breathwork and embodied practices, we will explore the subtle energy of the body as a map for transformation. Each chakra offers an opportunity to become more aware, balanced and open, helping us move beyond old limitations and reconnect with our innate potential.

This retreat is an invitation to expand — into the body, into awareness, and into the fullness of who you already are.

The Ridge at Maleny is a collection of luxury Scandi style cabins with expansive views over the Mary Valley. All inclusive of delicious, nutritious vegetarian catering by .catering.byally and massage treatment with Alexandra . Strictly limited to 18 guests this retreat will book out so secure your sport early to avoid disappointment!

**EARLY BIRD | BOOK BY 30 OCTOBER & SAVE $100**

"I can't meditate... my mind is too busy."
This is probably the sentence we hear more than any other.

Somewhere along the way, many of us came to believe that meditation means sitting cross-legged like a Zen monk, perfectly still, with a completely quiet mind.

What if that's only one way?

Meditation can absolutely look like sitting in stillness, and it can be a deeply powerful practice.

But it can also look like…
Walking mindfully in nature.
Painting, drawing or colouring.
Gentle movement.
Swimming.
Pausing to take five slow, conscious breaths before responding instead of reacting.

It's important to recognise that not every meditation practice feels supportive for every person. Some practices can actually feel activating, particularly if you're carrying stress, trauma, or a dysregulated nervous system.

This is why we don't simply tell ourselves to "sit still."

Instead, we become curious.

✨ What movement helps my body settle?
✨ What helps my mind feel less busy?
✨ Would breath awareness, counting, a mantra, visualisation, or sound help support my attention today?

There isn't one perfect meditation practice.

There is only the practice of discovering what works for you.

In our upcoming Yoga for Mental Health workshop - Meditation & The Art of Stillness, we'll explore the science behind meditation, gently unpack common misconceptions, and most importantly, experience a variety of practices together.

This is an experiential workshop. You'll have the opportunity to notice, with curiosity and without judgement, how different practices affect your own body, mind system.

No previous yoga or meditation experience is needed - just an open mind and a willingness to explore.
