Seed Yoga + Wellness

Some days you need props. Some days you don’t.

Some days your body wants to move, stretch and explore. Other days it’s saying, “Actually, can we just lie down?” 😂 That’s why yoga is a practice...as in not perfect!

As we move further into spring 🌱, everything starts to shift. More light, more energy, a little more movement and a sense of coming out of hibernation.

But there’s no right way to feel.

At Seed, we’re here to meet you exactly where you are. Whatever your body, your energy or your mood is doing that day, there’s a place for you here.

Come as you are. We’ve got you. 💚

🧘‍♀️✨ Off the Beaten Yin Track: Exploring the Lesser-Known Shapes of Yin 🧘‍♀️✨
If you’ve been practising Yin Yoga for a while, you’re probably familiar with the foundational shapes of the practice: finding your edge, settling into a pose, getting comfortable and allowing yourself to become still.

But what happens when we move beyond the poses we know so well?

In this workshop with Vickie Liew, we’ll step outside the familiar and explore some of the lesser-known and more intriguing shapes of Yin Yoga, including the Giraffe, Water Dragon and Crossed-Arm Sphinx. These are poses you may not have encountered before, and they offer a wonderful opportunity to explore your body, your edges and your experience of Yin from a fresh perspective.

The approach draws on the work of Paul and Suzee Grilley, whose functional approach to Yin Yoga recognises that every body is different. Rather than trying to make our bodies conform to a particular shape, we’ll be curious about the function of each pose: What are we trying to access, and how does it feel in your body?

We’ll play with different variations, explore creative use of props and investigate how these less familiar shapes might open up new possibilities in your practice.

When: Saturday 19 September from 1.00 -3.30pm from

Where: In studio at Seed Yoga + Wellness, 1A Salisbury Ave, Blackburn

Cost: $65

A little peek behind the curtains at Seed… 🧺

What’s in the basket today?

A feather duster… because the studio needs cleaning, and I’ve got some blanket origami to do. (Yes, folding yoga blankets is a yoga pose in itself! 😂)

My computer… because I need to respond to your emails and… watch this space… there’s a newsletter coming your way later today.

Clean tea towels… because there are always tea towels to wash, fold and replace.

Herbal tea bags… because the appetite for herbal tea at Seed is insatiable. I’m pretty sure some people come for the tea and stay for the yoga. 🍵

A poetry book… because I’ve got two classes to teach this morning and I like to have a little inspiration tucked away. A beautiful poem can sometimes say what we need to hear better than a hundred words from me.

Coffee… that one speaks for itself. ☕️

And my packed lunch… because running a yoga studio needs fuel!

One thing we’ve hopefully busted the myth on here at Seed is that you need to be flexible to do yoga. You absolutely don’t. Yoga meets you exactly where you are.

But I have discovered that you do need to be pretty flexible to be a small business owner. Flexible with your time, your plans, your expectations… and sometimes your ability to juggle a basket full of random things on the way out the door!

Happy Friday from behind the scenes at Seed 💚.

✨ Breath as the Bridge: A Four-Week Breathwork Journey with Ryan Chhajed ✨🌬️

What if the most powerful tool for creating more calm, clarity and resilience was something you already carry with you… every single moment of every single day?

Your breath. 💛

Join Ryan Chhajed for this transformative four-week journey into the ancient practice of pranayama (breathwork) and discover simple yet powerful techniques to help you calm your nervous system, boost your energy, quieten the busy mind and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself. 🌿✨

Whether you’re completely new to breathwork or you’re ready to deepen your existing practice, this course is an invitation to slow down, breathe consciously and discover the incredible wisdom that lives within you.

Over four weeks you’ll explore:
🌬️ Powerful breathing techniques
🧘 Practices to support calm and clarity
✨ Tools to build resilience and inner balance
🌱 A deeper understanding of the relationship between breath, body and mind

Have you ever tried Australian Bush Flower Essences?

These gentle plant-based essences, made from Australian flowers, are traditionally used to support emotional balance, inner calm and wellbeing. They beautifully complement practices that help us slow down, reconnect and come back to ourselves.

Join Emma Hamilton for a special afternoon of deeply nourishing Restorative Yoga and Bush Flower Essences. Imagine being completely supported by cushions and bolsters, gently guided into deep relaxation while your nervous system gets the chance to soften, settle and restore.

Happy Monday! Have you booked your yoga for the week yet?

There’s something super nice about opening your calendar and seeing a few little pockets of time that are just for you. It means you’re far more likely to actually make it to class, rather than getting to Sunday wondering where the week went!

So here’s a reminder, get your week sorted and make some time for yourself and your practice?

Here are a few classes you might not have tried yet:

🌿Wednesday 10.50am | Meditate & Move with Lisa Matthews
Find your centre with a beautiful blend of meditation and gentle movement. A midweek reset to help you feel calm, grounded and ready for the rest of the week.

🌿Wednesday 5pm | Slow Flow & Yin with Lisa Allwell**
The best of both worlds. Gentle, mindful movement followed by deliciously slow Yin stretches to leave you feeling open, relaxed and quietly restored.

🌿Thursday 6pm | Strength for Yogis with Ryan
Build strength, endurance and stability to support your yoga practice and your overall fitness. Strong bodies make happy yogis!

🌿Thursday 7.20pm | Yoga Nidra & Yin with Ryan
The perfect antidote to busy days and busy minds. A deeply relaxing practice to help you release tension, unwind and settle into a beautiful night's sleep. Side effects may include blissful naps.

🌿Sunday 4.30pm | Myofascial Release with Vickie
Ease muscle tension, improve mobility and reconnect with your body using specialised techniques and massage balls. Think of it as a little tune-up for your body.

So, what are you waiting for? Pick a class, book your spot and make yourself a date.

We'll see you on the mat!
