Get rest that lasts longer and has deeper healing than an afternoon nap 💤 Sunday 7th 3pm

26/05/2026

"Yin & Pin was a rest for my body and mind."
That's what one woman said after her first session. And honestly, most of us have forgotten what that even feels like.
Think about your evenings. You finally sit down, scroll your phone, half-watch something on TV. You tell yourself you're resting.
And then you wake up just as tired.
Shoulders still tight. Head still going. Carrying the same load you went to bed with.
The thing is, sitting down isn't the same as resting. Your body might be still, but your nervous system is still running in the background. After months or years of being switched on, it's forgotten how to switch off on its own.
That's what Yin & Pin is for.
Long, supported yin yoga holds let your muscles and fascia let go. Yoga Nidra settles you. Acupuncture works on the stress your body has been storing without you knowing.
Put them together and you get something none of them do on their own - proper rest that your body can actually use.
You walk out feeling so free and light. Muscles relaxed. Properly rested, probably for the first time in ages.
Next Yin & Pin: Sunday 7 June, 3pm. $75.

Join in for a mini-afternoon retreat 7th June 🙏🥰

Have you ever heard yourself say: "I'll rest when..."

When the inbox is clear. When the kids are settled. When this project is finished. When the house is sorted. When life calms down.

The list of "whens" is endless. And meanwhile, your body is still waiting.

You tell yourself you're fine. That you're just tired. That you'll catch up on sleep this weekend, take a proper break in the holidays, do something for yourself when there's time.

But here's what's actually happening underneath.

Your nervous system has been switched on for so long it has forgotten how to switch off. It only knows push, manage, hold it all together. Even when you sit down, your shoulders stay up. Your jaw stays tight. Your mind keeps running. You can't actually rest, because your body no longer remembers what rest feels like.

The exhaustion you carry isn't because you haven't tried hard enough. It's because you've been trying too hard, for too long. And the permission you've been waiting for, to stop, to soften, to put yourself on the list, it isn't coming from anyone else.

Your body is the one asking. And it has been asking for a long time.

Yin & Pin is where you finally say yes.

90 minutes where your only job is to lie down, be held, and let your nervous system remember it's safe to switch off. Restorative yoga softens what's been clenched. Yoga nidra takes you somewhere deeper than sleep. Acupuncture clears the stress patterns underneath.

You walk in carrying everything. You walk out feeling like yourself again.

First Sunday of June, 3 — 4.30pm. $75.
Book via our Events page.

Cortisol is one of the key reasons you have a bit of belly fat wobbling around making you feel uncomfortable with your body.

You think your belly fat is your problem and wish it was gone, so you spend hours wondering how to get rid of it. But the reality is that your belly fat is just a symptom of a deeper problem in your body. The deeper problem? Your high levels of stress.

Honestly hours of stomach crunching is not going to melt away your belly fat, while you’re moving through life stressed out and flooded with cortisol.

After 40 your body can either produce s*x hormones or stress hormones from your adrenals.

And without realising it you live a high octane, high stress life; and this means you are producing more stress hormones, than s*x hormones.

Resulting in your body needing to store your s*x hormones "just in case"; and guess where they get stored? In your belly fat.

If you want a flat stomach is as much about managing or reducing your stress as it is about diet and exercise.

Our Yin and Pin events are designed to support your body to relax into a deeply nourishing rest and digest state of being that gives your body to totally destress. A regular Yin and Pin is your chance to support your body to stop producing stress hormones and start producing s*x hormones.

The relaxing shift into rest and digest state that Yin and Pin offers gives you an opportunity to start melting away that belly fat while you take a much needed pause from your demanding life.

If you want to do something about your belly fat, do something about your stress levels and book in for our first yin and pin on 3 May 3pm - $75 investment.
