workshops & events

I provide a range of workshops and events that cater to your health and well being needs. I believe that we all need a safe space to work on you time. To take time out to make space for reflection, rest & relaxation.

 

But do we do it? No! 

 

Why?

Possibly because we don't know how!

 

Lets try to shift out of the matrix of busy busy busy! Because that is making us sick!

It is not selfish to take time out for yourself, it is necessary!

With this in mind I offer the time & space that we ALL need.

URBAN WELLNESS DAY RETREAT

2025 Dates:

Saturday January 25th - 9:00:am - 5:30pm

Can't take a whole weekend for a retreat?

No problem—how about just ONE day? 🙌

This is your official invitation to hit the "RESET" button.

You’ve been running on autopilot for far too long, haven’t you?

 

You need to REST, RESTORE, and maybe even breathe for the first time in months. Sound familiar?

As a former chronic stress survivor (hello, autoimmune disease!), I learned the hard way what happens when you don’t slow down. Lucky for me, I caught it early, made some changes, and now I’m all about bringing you the good stuff — health, wellness, yoga, and, of course, my first love: Art. 🎨

If I had known how much I needed something like this back then, I could’ve avoided a lot of stress-induced chaos. But, you know… hindsight is 20/20, and now I’m here to make sure you don’t need to burn out to figure it out.

We all need time to hit pause and just be. It's not about having a weekend away, it's about creating space for yourself to reconnect, breathe, and reset—because relaxation is actually a discipline (and yes, that’s a thing!).

This one-day retreat is the perfect back-to-basics self-care and nourishment day. Sure, you could do it on your own, but let’s be real: sometimes we all need a little help. Come join us—it's the best way to put yourself first for once (and hey, if you bring a friend, even better).

This is for you if…

  • You’re stressed, anxious, or just plain burnt out. 🔥

  • You need a day to pamper your mind, body, and soul (but still want to sleep in your own bed at night).

  • You could use a little support and guidance to help slow down and reflect on your current habits (because let’s face it, you’re probably running on empty).

  • The idea of an urban retreat in the Lower Blue Mountains sounds like heaven.

  • You’ve always wanted to try a retreat, but don’t have a week or the budget to fly overseas. ✈️

 

What’s Included:

  • 1 x 90-minute dynamic yoga morning practice (stretch, move, shake off the stress).

  • Light morning tea (because we all know tea is life).

  • A relaxing local bush walk (breathe in that fresh air!).

  • Lunch at a local cafe (your wallet’s responsibility, but I’ll definitely share my chippies).

  • Creative make & take session (because creativity is therapeutic, duh).

  • 1 x 90-minute afternoon restorative yoga practice (aka the “nap” of yoga classes).

The Goals of the day:

  • Move your body, breathe deeply, and feel again.

  • Connect to your mind and body—yes, they’ve been neglected.

  • Reflect on the stress monster living inside you (let’s kick it out, shall we?).

  • Get your zen on and learn to cultivate mindfulness.

  • Make something with your hands (don’t worry, we’re not making macaroni art).

  • Develop a personal gratitude mindset (and maybe thank yourself for coming!).

Retreat Schedule:

  • Arrive: 8:50 AM

  • Start: 9:00 AM

  • Finish: 5:30 PM (and you’ll be in bed by 10 PM feeling like a whole new person)

Investment: $99 

                 

* Before you commit, be sure to take a peek at the Workshops & Events refund & cancellation policy at the bottom of this page. We’re all about transparency, not surprises!

** Need a payment plan to make your wallet happy? We've got you covered. Just let us know! (P.S. PayPal's got your back with split payments now, so you can pay in style.)

*** Oh, and just a heads up—this event will only happen if at least 4 awesome humans sign up. We like to keep things intimate, not lonely!

Tame Your Inner Volcano: Yoga for Anger Management! 🌋

Sunday April 13th - 3:00 -5:00pm

Feeling like your fuse is a bit too short lately?

 

Don’t worry—you’re not alone.

 

Whether it’s the driver who cut you off or your Wi-Fi crashing mid-Zoom, anger has a sneaky way of taking over. Before you Hulk-smash your way through another day, why not try yoga for anger management? This workshop is more than just “taking deep breaths”—it’s about turning fiery rage into calm, collected power. You’ll leave feeling like a Zen master instead of a stress tornado.

We’ll start by calming the storm with breathing techniques that actually work—think less dragon’s fire, more cool breeze. Then we’ll flow through yoga poses to release tension from your shoulders, jaw, and that oh-so-clenched booty. Warrior II will ground you like a tree in a hurricane, and child’s pose? Well, it’s basically a hug for your nervous system.

But it’s not just about stretching. We’ll sprinkle in yoga wisdom like "Aparigraha" (aka “Let that sh*t go”) and mindfulness tricks to help you pause before reacting.

 

So, next time your coffee spills, you’ll laugh instead of rage-quit your morning. Your friends, family—and possibly your pets—will thank you.

Why not give yourself the gift of chill? Book your spot, roll out your mat, and let’s turn that simmering anger into empowering energy. This workshop is your one-way ticket to inner peace—with a side of fun. 🔥🧘‍♀️

WHAT IS INCLUDED

  • 90+ minute yoga 

  • yummy post practice plant based treats (if in studio with us)

Investment: $50            

If you would like to participate online, please reach out so I can arrange a zoom link for you.

Nurture You

Winter Wellness & Yoga Retreat

Bowen Mountain

 June 13th - 15th 2025

Connect to your seasonal wisdom!

I can't tell you just how excited I am for this retreat! 

 

For some a retreat is forced rest. They are also a beautiful container for community, fun, letting go, healing & much much more!

Sometimes we need to do that until rest & relaxation becomes a discipline & a regular part of our lives. But retreats & time out are also fun!

So if you are in need of a deep RESET & nervous system recalibration.

Have been putting others first & leaving yourself to last.

Need to shake up that autopilot system & take some time to REST & RESTORE.

This is for you friend!

The retreat is the perfect little RESET for your nervous system. It may give you just enough space to recalibrate your focus, & your mind & body for the days, weeks & even months ahead. Or until your next retreat!

Ultimately this is your retreat & your experience so choose your own adventure. You can join me in the Itinerary that I have planned or you can opt out, chill out or take yourself out. The things I have are simply an invitation, nothing is compulsory. 

This is for you if:

  • You are stressed, anxious & burnt out. Just bloody tired & need to refuel.

  • You want some time for yourself, to NURTURE & NOURISH your mind body & soul.

  • You need a little SUPPORT & GUIDANCE to help slow down & reflect on your current habits & lifestyle. 

  • You love the idea of an retreat in a beautiful place close to home

  • You've always wanted to try a retreat but haven't got a full week to travel & the funds to try one overseas. (One day you will though! Maybe you'll join me in Vanuatu one day, that's my retreat dream!)

Investment: from $650 

Please note that there will be a $150 non refundable deposit.

TESTIMONIALS

BLISS NIGHT TESTIMONIAL

Feeling very relaxed after enjoying an evening full of ”bliss!” Will definitely go back for another session. Thank you so much Ash!

Moira, High School Teacher

BLISS NIGHT TESTIMONIAL

I attended Ash's Bliss Night on the weekend & absolutely loved it! It was amazing to be able to take a "time out" for myself where I didn't have to think or worry & could just let go of stresses. Totally suitable for 'yogaphobes' as it was incredibly low impact & all about relaxation. I left feeling completely re-centred & was definitely blissed out. I will definitely be attending again. Thanks again Ash! 

Catherine, Senior Performance Manager

BLISS NIGHT TESTIMONIAL

Coming to the end of uni semester, parenting my two school-aged kids, & having worked from home since March (with a heavy workload), it felt like time to treat myself to something focussed just on me. I really loved the peaceful time, free of worry. Also, the guided focus & breathing was a great way to reset & clear my busy mind. The poses were all new to me, so it was really nice to focus on treating my body with kindness – something my office chair doesn’t do!

I’d recommend the Bliss Night to anyone & everyone. Specifically busy people who struggle to focus on themselves.

Thanks Maya

BLISS CIRCLE TESTIMONIAL

I had an absolutely magical experience at the studio for the solstice women’s circle/yin yoga session with Ash & Claire… releasing, letting go, laughter & pure joy with wonderful women 🌀🩵✨ can’t wait for the spring equinox!

Natalie, Nurse 

BLISS CIRCLE TESTIMONIAL

RETREAT TESTIMONIAL - Autumn 2022

Ashlynn's Autumn retreat was exactly what I needed! A combination of yoga sessions, delicious & nutritious food, quality accommodation & good company made this the perfect Autumn retreat. Cannot wait to join the next retreat!

Madi, Primary School Teacher 

RETREAT TESTIMONIAL - Spring 2023

I had an amazing weekend away at the Wild Joy retreat in Bowen Mountain. Ash planned the weekend perfectly, providing many options for activities, a judge free zone, and flexibility to choose our own adventure. The food was absolutely sensational, and the location truly created a tranquil experience. Looking forward to the next retreat.

Deanna, High School Teacher

RETREAT TESTIMONIAL - Spring 2023

Ash provided such a positive and supportive experience. The weekend allowed me to regroup and find balance.

Ash’s yoga classes taught me the importance of being mindful of your breathing, your body and your soul.

Being new to yoga, Ash taught me the importance of finding inner peace and how it’s ok to escape the busy world in order to find balance.

The accommodation was tranquil and the food was outstanding. Ash is an amazing person with a kind and loving soul. She only wants the best for everyone and provided such a beautiful experience. Thanks, Ash. xx

Bianca, Primary  School Teacher 

URBAN DAY RETREAT TESTIMONIAL - July 2024

An absolutely fantastic day. Ash plans the day perfectly right down to the minute so your day is filled with activities that touch the mind, heart and soul. You never feel pressured to take part in anything but also encouraged to step out of your comfort zone. I leave these retreats feeling refreshed and in such a better state of mind. I look forward to these retreats!!
