I’m delighted to share that I’ll be joining Udara Yoga and Pilates Studio in Hobart for a new Sunday offering that feels very close to my heart. Beginning this month, I’ll be guiding a 4.15pm Yin Yoga class each Sunday, a gentle space to unwind, soften, and return to yourself. And, as we welcome the new year, I’ll also be offering a week-long YoFence immersion from 1–7 January, hosted at Udara as part of Magical Farm’s growing suite of regenerative practices.
These two offerings sit together like inhalation and exhalation: one soft, slow and restorative; the other quietly activating, helping you stand in your centre with clarity and embodied strength.
Yin at Udara — Sundays at 4.15pm
The Sunday class will be a tender threshold for the week, weaving my knowledge of yoga, astrology and life systems. Yin Yoga has always spoken to me as a practice of deep listening: long, supported poses that invite the body to melt, the breath to settle, and the nervous system to drop down into a quieter rhythm. It’s a practice that doesn’t demand anything of you. Instead it offers space to feel the softness and subtle intelligence of your inner world.
As someone whose work sits at the meeting point of yoga, living-systems philosophy, community ecology and emotional regeneration, these sessions will gently weave awareness of the body’s energetic landscape: the chakras, the fascia, the emotional field, into simple, grounded shapes. My classes encompass sequences of small invitations to notice where you feel rooted, where you feel held, and where you might need more space or support.
If you’d like to join us, please reach out directly to Udara Studio to book your spot.
YoFence Immersion — 1–7 January 130pm - 245pm each day at Udara
In early January, I’ll offer a YoFence New Year immersion, at Udara Studio, in their hot room! YoFence is a practice I’ve been quietly developing for many years. YoFence weaves together the breath, grounding and awareness of yoga with the precision, discipline and focus of my first life as an international-level fencing athlete. It is not about fighting. It is about boundaries, presence, and learning to inhabit your own energy with both softness and strength.
Over the week, we’ll explore posture, simple fencing-inspired drills, stillness, breathwork and reflection. It’s a powerful way to begin the year: clearing out old patterns, strengthening your inner ground, and reconnecting to the part of you that knows how to stand tall without hardening, and soften without collapsing.
Bookings for the YoFence retreat can be made through the Magical Farm booking page.
Why this collaboration matters
This collaboration with Udara feels like a natural expression of everything emerging through Magical Farm, Con Viv, and my own inner path. We live in a time where rest has become rare, boundaries blur easily, and many of us walk carrying more than we realise. These two offerings Yin and YoFence speak to both sides of the equation: the need to soften, and the need to stand clearly within ourselves.
My hope is that these sessions become a small but steady rhythm in our community, a way for people to re-enter their bodies, restore their nervous systems, and feel a sense of village again. Whether you’re brand new to yoga, returning after a long pause, or simply seeking a gentle space that honours the depth of your inner world, you’re welcome here.
I’d be honoured to practice with you.
