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.

Hello Bliss seeker!
Are you tired, overworked, & needed by everybody all the time?
​
Modern life can be a ball buster! We're constantly encouraged to rush, be busy & be productive!
​
Do you need some YOU time!? (It's ok to admit it too)
​
Sometimes slowing down & actually managing stress feels like too much work. But, I assure you, it is absolutely worth it! And if you think you don't have time for it, then you REALLY need it!
​
These BLISS classes are an experience that is so divine, you'll want to do it again & again. That is my intention too, to facilitate a safe space for you to take the deep rest that you need & to do it regularly for the best impact.
​
I'll guide you through a beautifully restful & equally rejuvenating Yin & Restorative Yoga experience. While Adriana will be serenading you with the healing power of sound. All you have to do is show up & let the bliss vibes flow!
​
Relax with gentle yoga, unwind & untangle stress in my studio oasis, with soft, smooth vibrations of sound healing, a herbal tea, & a yummy treat post practice.
​
Sound like bliss? This is exactly what our nervous systems are craving & desperately needing right now!… always right ;)
​
SOUND THERAPY is a gentle, holistic & non invasive form of vibrational therapy. It utilises sound vibration of special instruments & tools to assist in strengthening, harmonising, recovery & re-balancing the body.

URBAN WELLNESS DAY RETREAT
2024 Dates:
Saturday September 12th - 9:00:am - 5:30pm
​
This is for you if you are in need of a deep RESET?
Have you been running on autopilot for way too long & not given yourself some time to REST & RESTORE?
My time in teaching, took me to an all new level of chronic stress. To the point it was making me sick & I was developing an autoimmune disease. Lucky I got on top of it early & made some changes.
​
Now, I bring all of my skills together to create these nourishing self care events. Health, Wellness, yoga & my original love, Art.
​
This is the kind of thing that would've supported my stress management & overall health & wellness (but I was too deep in the stress vortex to realise). Clearly I had to learn the hard way, by burning out first. Hindsight is my greatest teacher!
​
We all deserve & need time to get still & slow down. We all need to have a day to ourselves, where we can go within & shake off the busyness of modern life & press pause. I believe & know this to be true for myself that, relaxation is a discipline.
​
This sweet day retreat is a simple back to basics self care & nourishment day. Yes, you can absolutely do this on your own (in fact, I encourage you to). But many of us need a bit of skin in the game & to allow someone else to take care of you for once! This event is especially nice if you come along with a friend too.
​
This is for you if:
-
You are stressed, anxious & burnt out
-
You want a day for yourself, to NURTURE & NOURISH your mind body & soul (...& still go back to the comfort of your own bed)
-
You need a little SUPPORT & GUIDANCE to help slow down & reflect on your current habits & lifestyle.
-
You love the idea of an urban retreat in the Lower Blue Mountains
-
You've always wanted to try a retreat but haven't got a week to travel & the funds to try one overseas.
​
WHAT IS INCLUDED:
-
1 x 90 minute dynamic yoga morning practice
-
Light morning tea
-
Local bush walk
-
Lunch at a local cafe (at own cost)
-
Creative make & take session
-
1 x 90 minute afternoon restorative yoga practice
​
OBJECTIVES:
-
A day of movement, relaxation, nature, nourishment, creativity & rest
-
Move the body & connect with the breath
-
Bring awareness to nourishing the body & mind

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

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!!
Deanna, Department of Education
