HUM PODS
HUM pods are a revolutionary technology providing a breakthrough in the Sound Healing, Yoga Nidra and meditation world. We are SUPER excited to share this with you very soon!
Yoga Styles
Our Yoga Studio has been a staple in the East-side Melbourne community since 2016.
The essence of our offerings is based on the foundation that each and every individual is on a personal journey, not to find themselves, not to better themselves, but to reveal what is already there. Pure Divinity.
We do this by sharing traditional teachings from a place of dedicated learning, lived experience and inner understanding. Every single teacher is a unique and caring individual with a set of skills and talents that not only excites but inspires you to unravel and dissolve into the grounded, stable, open and loving self that you are.
A typical class is a guided meditative movement class. Often incorporating a theme, breath work, sound and yoga philosophy. Presented in a way that is easy to follow and understand through clear and guided verbal and/or visual cues along with hands on adjustments where needed to correct and/or guide students deeper into physical practice.
All Levels Flow
A combination of gentle and dynamic flows and moments of stillness to invigorate and nourish the whole body.
Morning practice is typically more solarised with an invitation of more side bends and backbends, while afternoon classes are a little more moon (more forward folding)
Expect Sound (Chanting and or music), Pranayama (breath control practices), Asana (posture practice), Philosophy and so much more!
Our studio offers Alignment focused Flow practices, suitable for all levels, inviting students with options to extend themselves without pressure.

Aqua Sound Healing
This is the ultimate in Sound Healing, Yoga Nidra, audio mediation practice experience. A truly unique one of kind, total original experience!
Your session begins with a brief introduction as your host guides you to your individual DRY Aqua Pod. As you recline into the uniquely designed pods and put on your headset you are transported through curated audio soundscapes into specific states of consciousness, which directly corollate to the energy centres of the body. In addition to the audio you will experience a vibratory HUM that is transmitted through our custom designed flotation pods. A revolutionary sound healing journey unlike any other.
While the experience itself is quite nurturing and healing, there are moments that can feel quite powerful upon the crescendo of the soundscapes. This is where the real magic happens!
Upon completion of the session, you will feel resolved. Settled. At ease.
All Aqua Sound Healing HUM sessions conclude with a complimentary beverage while you process your experience in our comfortable studio reception.
