Restorative Yoga Workshops with Hannah Perkins
Last Sunday of every month - 30th october + 27th November
Restorative Yoga is a practice which harmonises the vital life force in our body, prana, through the art of deep and conscious rest. Combining specifically targeted postures, breathing exercises and meditation we can effortlessly restore our body's energy to its natural state, free-flowing and unlimited.
Sunday 30th October (11.00am - 1.00pm) - Breath Reset (Diaphragm and muscles in the torso) to reduce the stress response:
Over the course of our lives, we tend to get in the way of our body's natural ability to breathe. The more time we spend in the sympathetically dominant 'stress response', caused by shallow clavicular breathing, the weaker our body and tighter our muscles become. The key to healing is learning to spend more time in the parasympathetic realm of 'rest, digest and relaxation', which can be induced by deep abdominal breathing. In this session we will explore restorative breathing methods and give your body ample “quiet time” in long-held poses sequenced to release the muscles within the torso.
Sunday 27th November (11.00am - 1.00pm) - Befriending the body (Exploring body images and shifting our perceptions):
We all have unique and individual 'bodies', including our physical (skeletal, muscular and fascia), as well as our emotional, thinking and spiritual body. And we each have imprints of our life experiences mapped onto and held within the body, affecting the way we feel, move and live. How we perceive our body usually determines what we believe about it and how we act towards it. In this session we will view the body through the lens of kindness and curiosity, experiencing the body from the inside-out in the present moment. Self judgement will begin to fade as we shift from our mind-based perceptions to a deeper understanding and hopefully more compassion towards our bodies and all they have experienced.
These sessions can be taken as a series or individually and are led by Hannah Perkins, Yoga Therapist, who has been passionately teaching Trauma Aware Restorative Yoga since 2016. Restorative poses are held for approximately 5-10 minutes, supported by props to provide an ideal environment for total relaxation. By slowing down and becoming aware of our body, we can begin to respond to the present moment with greater awareness and clarity. Everything is optional and you will be encouraged to make choices which help you move towards comfort and ease, to promote nervous system rebalancing.
Please byo 1x yoga mat, 1 x bolster, 1 x weighted blanket, 1 x light blanket/shawl (to cover), 1 x eye pillow or eye mask.
We also encourage that you wear, loose comfortable clothing and leave all jewellery/watches at home. Ensure that you are also warm for the duration of the workshop.
All bookings are final and no refunds will be issued. If notice is given 7 days out of the workshop, Twine will be happy to credit your passes for a future workshop date, apply the same credit amount to your mind body account, or transfer to another client on your behalf.

YOGA BIRTH WORKSHOP FOR MAMAS & BIRTHING PARTNERS WITH MARION LOISANCE
SUNDAY 9TH OCTOBER | 11.00AM - 1.30PM
Birthing partners can be life partners, own mothers, doulas, friends who will share the intimate and sacred birth space of the mamas.
“If a woman doesn't look like a goddess during labour, then someone isn't treating her right” - Ina May Gaskin.
Becoming a parent is one of the most transformative events in our lives. If you are looking for an opportunity to be physically, mentally and emotionally prepared for labour and birth as a couple, this workshop is for you.
Yoga for Mama’s Birth Yoga workshop is designed for mamas and their birth partners to connect, and explore how yoga can offer them tools to navigate and embrace the different stages of labour. Knowledge is power. So not only will there be food for thought, there will also be practical skills to experience and prepare for a confident and empowered labour for the 2 of you.
Each birth is both unique and unpredictable. And each birth, however it goes, should leave the birthing mama with a strong feeling of empowerment and joy. We can’t control all aspects of birth, however we can control many of them. And sometimes, we might need a gentle nudge from our birthing partner so we can remember the power of our mindset, of our breath, of our bodies.
Join Marion for 2.5 hour to familiarise yourself with a range of asanas (postures), breathing and relaxation techniques and identify what resources you want to bring with you in your birth space.
This workshop will include:
- Reminder/ overview of the different stages of labour
- How to create a positive physical and emotional environment
Practice of:
- Movements to reduce stress and promote active labour
- Breathing skills for each stage of labour
- Gentle touch to relief discomfort and let the hormones flow
- Relaxation skills
- Getting familiar with the power of words and sounds
- How a birth partner can support you with your Yoga toolkit
- A printed toolkit to take home
All bookings are final and no refunds will be issued. Any cancellations made within 7 days of the workshop can be credited for a future workshop with Marion Loisance/ Yoga for Mama or transferred to a friend.

CRYSTAL BOWL & GONG SOUND BATH
SUNDAY 27th NOVEMber | 2.00PM - 3.00PM
Bathe in the deeply relaxing sounds of crystal singing bowls and gong, coupled with other sound healing instruments, as your mind and body let go during this meditative sound experience. The instruments used by Courtney and Steve from Heart Resonance are tuned to vibrational frequencies that allow you to drop quickly into a relaxed state and each have their own unique qualities for healing potential.
Treat yourself to this special moment, where you are invited to relax, set intention and let go.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes prior to get settled in (doors will close strictly at the start of immersion). You may wish to bring a pillow, a yoga mat and some water. Blankets and bolsters are provided. Wearing comfortable clothing is recommended.
After the sound bath, enjoy a grounding tea and group reflection (sharing is always optional).
The Science of Sound: Sound therapy is the concept of becoming immersed in deeply relaxing sounds which, through vibrational frequency, allows the body to switch to its parasympathetic nervous system. This gives the body permission to rest and restore – something that we unfortunately have forgotten the importance of in our busy culture. Allowing the body a moment of stillness, away from the stresses of everyday life, is a deeply nourishing practice. Sound therapy has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve breathing and circulation, alleviate aches and pains, and strengthen the immune system.
Tickets are $40.00 per person. All ticket sales are final and no refunds will be issued. If you can not make the event, you may transfer your ticket to some body else in the community. Please email us: twineyogastudio@gmail.com to arrange.
If you are attending the Restorative workshop prior (Healing for the healer) you may attend the sound bath for $35.00.
