Clear away the stresses of your week and join us on the mat to acknowledge, process, and let go of the pressures built up over your week, recalibrating your energetics and heart back to receptivity, softness and rest.
Using a gentle yin yoga practice, you will be invited to melt into yogic shapes, supported by bolsters, blankets and blocks. Unlike more dynamic forms of yoga, in yin yoga you rest in a shape for a period of time, without the use of muscular effort, meaning gravity alone helps the body open, working into deep muscle and fascia and allowing the fascia to lubricate and release, creating deep shifts both physically and energetically. When we suppress any emotion, it stores in the body as tension. This practice allows you to unravel and decompress any pent-up energy that you have stored during your week, creating a safe space for you to process and release.
We combine this with light breath work and intuitive meditation.
Sound plays an integral part in this journey. Harry will join us, playing acoustic guitar and holding vibrational space as we relax, let go and reconnect.
This will be an experience like no other.
After the practice, you may choose to head home in introspection, or you are more than welcome to hang around and connect with Rochelle, Harry and the other wonderful humans sharing this divine experience.
Tea and light refreshments will be provided, to ground post practice.
Things to note:
Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothes to enable deep breathing and sitting/laying upon the floor with ease. A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).
Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 6:45pm - 7:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 7:15pm. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.
Driving: Know Centre of You is on Chapel St and ample time to find a car spot is best to be factored into your plans. Park direct on Chapel St (spots unmetered after 5pm) or in Anchor Place, the open-air parking lot in the side street that runs opposite Centre of You (unmetered after 4pm).
Public transport - tram: Both the number 6 tram & 78 tram stop on the corner of High St/Chapel St. This is stop 31 on the number 6 tram (Moreland/Glen Iris) & stop 45 on the number 78 tram (North Richmond/Balaclava).
Public transport - train: Both Prahran & Windsor stations along the Sandringham Line will get you walking distance to Centre of You.
Finding Centre of You: Centre of You is nestled within the arcade that Chapel St Bazaar is in (217 Chapel St). It is up a flight of stairs with a wide landing at the half-way-point.

If you could use support in getting up the stairs or would like to discuss ways to make your experience at Centre of You more comfortable, please reach out via grace@centreofyou.com.au or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram.
