Bendigo Yoga Festival, you bring such a vibe!!

Thank you to Katie Stiffe for co presenting this class with me, about 70 people received unique and tailored care during our session.

Thank you to special friends who came all the way to attend this class and to everyone who enquired about how to learn this vital modality. I imagine in future festivals having 10 women on the floor giving attention to participants and to even bigger numbers. Getting this form of love into the world would be immense.

Thank you to Yoga Festival for always running such smooth, loved and well attended festivals.

Our plan is to give each participant at least one experience of hands on care and attention so you feel into your deep self in a way that this modality explores, it depends on the number of folk who attend.

For me it’s a no frills class apart from all the props we’d love you to bring. I’m used to having my harmonium and bowls beside me, but this class is 75mins and we want you to have as much personal and specific attention we can provide so we’ll be on the floor with you!

If you’re at the festival, join us for this opportunity to let the inhale expand the space within you so that the exhale can carry away the unneeded.

Scroll for information…

When Julie Rooks contacted me to take images of her business, we decided to showcase a ‘weekend in Rutherglen’ so rather than just BnB pics of the cottage, we wanted to tell a story

Foundry Cottage has one bedroom which is perfect if you’re solo and want some peace or a couple looking for some quiet time

The back yard is awesome for morning or arvo sips, plus, the cottage has a treatment room for massages and as Julie is a local yoga teacher, you can also arrange a private session out on the grass and under the trees

Take a ride on two wheels and get around the local sights

The spa bath is a brilliant way to soothe your stress and you can stick on the jets to pummel your muscles too

𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗴. 𝗰𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄 serves up your morning brew and brunch snacks ready to set you on your day

Window shopping or spending your wallet, there are plenty of places to ease your mind and some savings in the area

Beautiful old pubs and heritage built businesses line the main street, giving you choices for meals and places to meet up

Stroll the quiet streets and see the sights, the Rutherglen W**e Bottle is at the end of the street and this historic water tower is a perfect way to to see the district from the top viewing area

On the edge of town is Hopetoun Grove Rutherglen which showcases w**e from the families w**ery and of course olive oil and the many different varieties and tastes they offer

A lush platter is a brilliant way to stay and enjoy an afternoon and taste the oils. You can purchase bottles of olive oil from the cellar door too, a great way to remember your time in the area

Julie Rooks and partner Anthony are your hosts. You can book Foundry Cottage from the usual online booking sites and as they are locals, will help your time in Rutherglen be a comfortable one as well as a memorable!

There’s something very special about setting up the space to take a class. Katie here, shares the sacred moments before people arrive, when intention from a teacher’s point of view is laid out in preparation for arrivals.

Of course that doesn’t include the time spent planning the class, the ability to adapt in real time when there are real people in receptivity of the guidance and the pack down afterwards. Ultimately it is all offered in service of the divine teachings handed down to us from vital lived experiences.

Katie and I will be facilitating Restorative Yoga with Massage at the upcoming Bendigo Yoga Festival Sunday 11 October at 1:15pm. This 75min class will provide participants with a feel of what we offer, choosing poses that invite enquiry over time with massage pressure that connects you to your deep self and greater consciousness… we don’t muck around!

Are you heading to the Bendigo Yoga Festival?

Katie and I are running a class that leads you to resting your quiet self into a reliable calm of peace. ✌️

In the short time we have together, the attention you receive from us will deepen the relationship you have with who you are at your core… whaaaat!

We both have years of practice with creating a space where personal care and a depth of experience can provide a direct path to self nourishment.

This class will be the opposite of thought activity as we move to into feeling. You’ll be lead to turn your attention to your inner self, checking in to who you are beneath the noise of doing, finding then, a place of soothement you can return to anytime.

Join us for this extraordinary class, we’ll open with a collective Om and finish with the quietness of rest!

See you there!

If you’re interested in putting together a session for your group of friends like last week’s circle of friends did, let me know!

Dedicated time, insulated from outside responsibilities, can be enormously healing in that it provides you with space to receive purposeful care.

Last week was honouring the respect this circle of women have for each other and the way they support each other with laughter, love and compassion. This is not your everyday women’s circle, this is deep intentional work for the clearing of pain and the invitation to soothe the inner cry for peace.

I am able to provide specific instruction in yoga teachings, create an atmosphere for heartfelt card readings, share restorative practices with massage techniques and serve nourishing food and drinks in this warmly enveloping space.

From 3hrs minimum to a full day retreat itinerary, if this is something you’re craving, let’s begin a conversation and get your group together for a life changing experience, Gx

What a beautiful way to spend time behind the camera in this newly rebuilt and stunningly appointed massage room.

The day was dark and very wet, but in here, the atmosphere was warm and cosy!

Jules Rooks of Julie Rooks has opened bookings for various styles of massage care in the heart of Rutherglen VIC and you can contact her directly if you’re heading that way any time soon.

You’ll slip on a fluffy robe, enjoy some flavourful tea and sink into the gleeful experience of having your tension taken away.

For massage and private yoga sessions contact Jules and if you have photography needs, let me know, Gaelle x

BENDIGO YOGA FESTIVAL SUNDAY 11 OCT ‘26

This year I’ll be presenting a class close to my heart! Along with Katie Stiffe I’ll be guiding you through a RESTORATIVE YOGA WITH MASSAGE session that involves placing your body into supported positions that’ll amply ease your body towards clam.

This is no ordinary restorative yoga class though. Katie and I will be moving around to each participant so that every single one of you will also receive hands on massage care, an amazing way to wrap up your festival experience.

Bring every prop you muster, we’ll use them all!

I’ll be singing mantras like lullabies too so you’ll finish the class feeling that you’ve received the soothement often so elusive to us during our regular days.

Yoga Festival run the best festivals both across the country and abroad, you’ll love the investment you make in attending.

With the river flooding earlier this week, I took a walk down yesterday for a closer look.

Since last Monday’s rise, the river has dropped about 2mts and has left a beautiful softening of the surrounding land.

The last image is so beautiful and whilst I often shrug my shoulders at the extremes of weather and temperatures we experience in Australia, there’s no doubt that this part of Victoria is a blessing for me to be in.

As I walked around, I just wished there was enough water going into the earth, that it helps when it’s so hot in 6mths that it’ll all be crispy enough to be a fire threat again!
