As a lifelong student and Holistic Health and Fitness Coach, I know how heavy life can feel. Modern life is fast and high-pressure. We do not just need holidays - we need real tools to help us look after our minds and bodies. 🌱

🤍 Hearing feedback like this from Kylie fills my heart:
“First retreat with Sofija and it was so lovely. She has a very unique style of teaching and somehow makes you feel very supported throughout the class. It is difficult to find a teacher with her level of experience. Do yourself a favour and go to a class or wellness workshop and see for yourself.” ✨

My Quarterly Wellness Workshops are designed to be that safe space for you. 🦋

We focus on:
· Better health (improve stress management, reduce anxiety, more sleep)
· Lasting habits (tools you can use at home)
· Clear minds (space to gain clarity on goals and reset your priorities)
· True connection (a warm, welcoming community)

With modern life characterised by stressful environments and complex emotional journeys, these structured experiences serve as necessary preventative healthcare. Research indicates that immersive wellness experiences not only offer immediate relief but, when combined with education, lead to long-term behavioural changes and increased mental resilience.

Think of it as essential healthcare for your mind and soul. 💆‍♀️

We are excited to share we have a new tranquil home for our weekly Mat Pilates & Yin Yoga class.✨ The classes will now be at the historical Chatsworth Hall overlooking a peaceful valley. I have experienced some of my most amazing sunsets from this space. 🌱

We still want you to end your week feeling stronger, lighter, and deeply relaxed with our expert blend of Mat Pilates, Yin Yoga and Meditation.

This class is designed to help you build core strength, improve flexibility and mobility, release stress, and create calm in both body and mind. We begin with mindful Pilates movement to energise and strengthen, before slowing down into nourishing Yin healing stretches, and sealing the class with a grounding Meditation. 💪🧘‍♀️

Whether you're an existing student, brand new to movement, returning after injury, pre/post-natal, or simply seeking a supportive wellness community - this class is for you. Modifications are always offered to suit your individual needs and experience level.

The Details
🗓 Fridays
🕑 5:30 - 6:30pm
📍 Chatsworth Hall

Please bring:
* Yoga/Pilates mat

The quote from Deepak Chopra captures a powerful idea; your thoughts and physical state aren’t separate systems - they constantly influence each other: “The mind and body are like parallel universes. Anything that happens in the mental universe must leave tracks in the physical one.”

Look forward to seeing you on the mat.

Much Love, Gratitude and Living ❤️🙌💫xx

"By controlling our breath, we can wilfully influence the brain and the autonomic nervous system and literally change our mind-body state."
- Dan Brulé

🧘‍♂️ Deeply grateful and blessed. ✨
From the bottom of my heart, a massive thank you to everyone who stepped onto the mat for our “Reflect and Rest” Quarterly Wellness Workshop. Together, we explored the sacred interconnectedness of breath through Yin Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork. Your beautiful energy, vulnerability, and open hearts made our session incredibly special.
It was a profound honour to hold space for you all to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your inner light. 🌿

Let us take a pause to remember this universal truth: an imbalance in our energy body will eventually filter down to a disturbance in the physical body. With collective intention, we grounded ourselves for 90 minutes to achieve true homeostasis. We hold the power to soothe and heal our ailments when we address them where they begin - filtering from the spiritual into the mental, emotional, and energy bodies, before ever manifesting physically. 🦋

Missed out or yearning to experience this journey again? Watch this sacred space! Details for our next workshop are aligning and will be flowing your way very soon. 🙏👁️

Much Love, Gratitude and Living ❤️🙌💫

It’s been a joy introducing Yin Yoga and Mat Pilates classes sprinkled with Meditation to Gympie ARC. Moving to local acreage has finally allowed me to share my passion for accessible wellness with our community.

Unlike active ‘Yang’ workouts, Yin Yoga targets deep connective tissues - fascia, ligaments and joints. By holding passive poses for 1 - 10 minutes, we:
⭐️ Restore Mobility: Stretch and remodel fascia for lasting flexibility.
⭐️ Calm the Mind: Switch the body into ‘rest-and-digest’ mode to lower stress.
⭐️ Support Joint Health: Rehydrate tissues and improve circulation.
⭐️ Enhance Energetic Flow: Reduce inflammation and amplify overall energy circulation.

We appreciate our client Rachel who shared her ‘magical release’ experience:
“I recently tried a Yin Yoga class with Sofija at Gympie Aquatic Recreation Centre, and it was incredible. As someone who usually struggles to switch off at night, this was a complete game changer.
After the class, I had a warm shower, crawled into bed, and experienced one of the deepest sleeps I’ve had in ages. I woke the following morning feeling refreshed – and the energy I had in the days that followed was remarkable.
Absolute bliss. Highly recommend for anyone needing to reset, slow down, and truly rest.”

Yin Yoga is the perfect mindful counter-practice to a busy life. Join us to find your edge and hold space for stillness.

Much Love, Gratitude and Living ❤️🙌💫xx

Psychoeducation in drug and alcohol detox and rehabilitation educates individuals about addiction, breaking down denial and strengthening motivation for recovery. It provides structured knowledge on how substances affect the brain and body, and teaches coping skills, relapse prevention, and emotional regulation.

As a Clinical Yoga and Meditation Facilitator at Hader Clinic Queensland working alongside our qualified health professionals, allied health practitioners, external facilitators and lived experience support staff we support our clients in every step of their recovery. 🫶

Yoga and Meditation sprinkled with Breathwork and Sound Healing are integral to drug and alcohol detox and rehab because they provide a holistic approach to healing, addressing the physical, mental, and emotional damage caused by addiction.

In my weekly Yoga and Meditation workshops all clients experience as a result of these practices:
- Reduced Stress and Cravings via lower cortisol levels and improved emotional regulation, which directly helps manage the stress and anxiety that often trigger relapse.
- Neurobiological Repair to help rewire the brain’s reward pathways and stimulate the prefrontal cortex, enhancing self-control and repairing brain areas damaged by addiction.
- Physical Healing in detox by repairing the body, improving sleep, and reducing physical pain, while offering a healthy way to increase dopamine levels naturally.
- Mind-Body Connection builds self-awareness and mindful coping skills, empowering individuals to recognise and handle negative emotions without resorting to substances.
- Improved Treatment Adherence by calming the mind and reducing anxiety, clients are better equipped to engage with therapy, increasing the effectiveness of traditional treatment programs.

We appreciate this insightful client feedback from Nick:

“Pure bliss!

Sofija is spiritual beyond compare. Her wholehearted yet gentle approach allows one to reach a new level of addiction recovery, alignment and oneness that is just not possible through psychology, western medicine or the 12 step programs alone.

A next level Yoga, Meditation and Breathwork Facilitator that will guide any willing participant at Hader Clinic Queensland into a new version of oneself.”

Recovery is about more than just moving forward; it’s about building a better toolkit for life. 🌱 These practices help us develop healthy new coping mechanisms and deeper self-awareness - two of the most vital ingredients for overcoming addiction and staying strong.

My heart is so full! 🥰 Beautiful 51st Birthday celebrations with Nikki - brilliant day by the seaside, magical sunset, as well as stellar music, songwriters and connection at the Red Hot Summer Tour. ☀️🎈🎶🎉🪩

Thank you to everyone who took the time to send birthday wishes via calls, texts, social media and cards. You all made my day feel extra special and reminded me how blessed I am to have such amazing people in my life. 🫶

One to add to my soul's memory is hearing this verse close the show:
“In my house you’ll dwell forever
You shall not want for care
Surely goodness and mercy will follow you
Come and meet me in the middle of the air
I will meet you in the middle of the air”
- Lyrics by Paul Kelly

Grateful for each and every one of you! 💞✨

“Keep your circle of friends small, tight, and right.”
- Levon Peter Poe

While we all sat back in the glorious Sunday sunshine (after a busy couple of months) enjoying an amazing banquet lunch we shared this same glimmer moment: ‘You glow differently when you have good people with good intentions in your life.’✨

You don’t need too many people to be happy. Just a few real ones who appreciate you for who you are. 💞

Thank you my precious souls Jen and Ricardo for starting my Birthday celebrations six sleeps early. I truly feel with the next half of life I will make a new ritual on the upcoming week of every birthday to reflect - acknowledge, honour and accept the growth and simplicity within the past year. 🎈🎉🎂

Absolutely looking forward to the next few weeks of celebrations - Aries ♈️, Ta**us ♉️ and Gemini ♊️ birthdays, friendships 🫶, as well as real conversations and laughs, and a sprinkle of dancing and live music... 💃🏻🥁🎶

I appreciate this experience of life I am blessed with, the ebb and flow, on the ordinary and the birthday weeks... 🪷🥳☯️

Much Love, Gratitude and Living ❤️🙌💫xx
