Discover transformative practices that bring calm, balance, and deep connection into your daily life.

We live in noisy times – overflowing information, endless to-dos, and constant change. It's easy to lose touch with ourselves and disconnect from what truly nourishes us.

This is where the shift happens: What if self-care could become a bridge back to connection – not just with yourself, but with others and the web of life that holds us all?

In this unique 2.5-hour experience, Stefanie weaves mindful yoga, Eden Energy Medicine (practical energy work), and embodied awareness into a transformative journey where body, breath, and energy flow together as one.

This transformative workshop creates a sacred space where self-care unfolds as something new – not as isolated "me-time," but as a pathway back to deep connection with your body, your energy, your authentic voice, and with all that is.

Perfect for beginners and experienced practitioners alike – no previous experience needed.

✨ What you will take with you:

Deep Nervous System Reset – Feel your system shift from tension into ease, even when life feels hectic.

Renewed Vitality – Simple energy practices help you recharge and release fatigue or heaviness. Learn quick 3-5 minute resets for busy moments and longer practices for deeper nourishment.

Inner Clarity – Learn to distinguish your authentic impulses from outside expectations.

Intuitive Self-Leadership – Experience how your body and energy can guide you through life's challenges.

Felt Connection & Belonging – Leave with a profound sense of being part of something larger, deeply connected to yourself and others.

Myo-Fascial Release + Yin Yoga Workshop

Release pain and tension in the muscles + connective tissues. Feel the knots + crunchy spots disappear - create space in your body to move completely freely and with ease. We'll use this self massage method working with cork balls and yoga blocks to open up + release the body. To begin we’ll work head to toe learning each technique(bring your notebook!)then you’ll be guided through a yin yoga and myo-fascial release practice to work deeply into the body and feel the full benefits. A full body self massage.

You will leave feeling 2 feet taller and free of niggles and stickiness. It’s equal parts activating and relaxing.

What is myo-fascial release?
Myofascial release therapy is a type of gentle massage that releases tightness and pain throughout your myofascial tissues. Myo = muscles, fascia = connective web running through and protecting the muscles, organs, veins, even cells. First, you will locate trigger points, or knots, in your fascial tissues. Then, they’ll gently apply pressure until they feel the tension release. It feels invigorating.

Expect to roll, release, work deep into the tissues, melt away the creases leaving for feeling freer and able to move.

Benefits of Myofascial Release:
Relieves pain and tension, increases mobility, improves posture, helps release emotions stuck in the body, improves blood circulation, improves lymphatic circulation - in turn supporting the immune system, leaves you feeling soft and easeful in the body.

More on fascia:
You can think of fascia like a spider web. The stringy tissue is densely woven throughout your muscles, bones, nerves, arteries, veins and organs. Your fascia is one continuous structure throughout your body. Each part of your body is connected to it in some way. That’s why if there’s a snag in the tissue in one part of your body, it can cause pain in another part of your body.

Normally, fascia is flexible and stretchy. But it’s strong. It provides structural support to your body and protects your muscles. Fascia is usually able to move without any restrictions. When your body experiences any kind of trauma, your fascia loses its flexibility. It becomes tightened and more rigid. The tightness can lead to pain and loss of motion, which can affect your quality of life.

Please wear leggings instead of baggy/flowy clothes and bring along a notebook + pen.

Essy Sparrow & Friends: an evening of live music!

Join us at Sunshine Café & Yoga for an evening of live music with Essy Sparrow, as she takes the stage with a full band for the very first time.

Essy's debut EP "Still Upset About It Actually" came out in November.
Since then she's gone viral 3 x, been played on the radio over 45 times, hated herself, loved herself, cut a bad fringe, grown it out and written more songs that she wants to show you.

Essy hates standing up at gigs, so rest assured you will have seats.

With musical support from two incredible local acts: Kitty Crocker and Sunfull.

Introduction to Ayurveda workshop:

A bright spring welcome to this introduction to Ayurveda!

Ayurveda is the science of life and the sister science to yoga. They go hand in hand flowing with the seasons and invite us to be present and aware of our diet & lifestyle choices.
Yoga, Body massage & Ayurvedic herbs are three further factors that make up the Ayurvedic principals, which can be explored a in follow up workshops.
When the doshas (energies within the body) become imbalanced ayurveda believes illness shows up in the body. This can be witnessed in so many ways.

The aim of Ayurveda is to draw the body back to equilibrium. By following Ayurvedic principals we can help ourselves have a healthy Agni and retain balance within body mind and soul.
This workshop will begin with a short visualisation on the elements, to help you understand them within you and around you, bringing you back to the whole (all one)

We will continue to explore

· 3 doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha. From here we can understand how they influence our being.

· 5 Elements. We will look at the elements associated with each dosha and how the different seasons can enhance or disrupt our doshas.

· The importance of Vikriti & Prakriti and why it matters

· Short questionnaire to establish your Vikriti (what doshas you are currently experiencing)

· Agni (our digestive fire) Ayurveda believes good health starts with a healthy gut. We will be looking at a weak and strong Agni and how we can support it.

· Ama (toxins) How they accumulate in the body and how we can help eliminate them.

· We will explore the 6 tastes in relation to the doshas. With this knowledge you can make informed food choices.

· Exploring the Gunas. Food and the spirt. Sattva, Rajas and Tamas for more informed food choices.

· Discover Ayurvedic detox herbs & Ayurvedic products for a healthy Agni.

We will conclude our session with a deeply restorative yoga nidra relaxation.

I hope this introduction will give you an insight into ayurveda and inspire you to weave some ayurvedic principles into your life.

Kind regards
Tarini Prem Devi

The Art of Letting Go: Myofascial Release, Yin Yoga, and Yoga Nidra

Unwind and restore balance in body, heart, and mind. In this workshop, we’ll alleviate pockets of physical tension and mobilise energy to initiate self healing through Myofascial Release Techniques, yin yoga, intuitive movement and yoga nidra. Reconnect with your self and soften the grip of holding everything together.

In this workshop, we’ll dive into the magic that is our fascia and deep tissues of the body to encourage a sense of ease and facilitate recovery. By working with fascia, we not only address physical restriction but also create space for emotional and energetic shifts. This practice reconnects you with your body and inspires a sense of interconnectedness within yourself and the world around you.

Unwind with a blend of targeted acupressure massage and supported stretches of yin yoga, where you have the freedom to listen to your body. You’ll be guided to release, move, and unfurl at your own pace, helping you to take whatever it’s you need to feel held.

We’ll close with a restorative yoga nidra meditation to leave you feeling fully rested and recharged.
