What's is all about?

Join Sarah from Shanti Studio for a fun and mindful one-hour yoga practice that helps children connect with their mind, body, and breath.

With the festive season drawing near, each session invites children to slow down and appreciate the gift of the present moment. Through sound vibrations, movement and breath, they’ll explore mindfulness while building appreciation, confidence and kindness.

1. What does a gift look like?
2. Why share gifts?
3. What is your gift?
4. What gift can you share with others?
5. What gift can you share with the world?
6. What is a thoughtful gift?
7. Ideas for a handmade gift
8. How can time be a gift?
9. What is a gift in this moment?

Who will be teaching?

Sarah will be teaching this class.

After moving back to the Macedon Ranges in 2016, the opportunity to practice Yoga, on a personal level, unfolded for Sarah. Having passionately practiced Pilates for years, Sarah embraced the mat and Yoga teachings with a new curiosity, and quickly found that it offered a unique and calming practice, whilst providing a beautiful sense of coming home.

In 2021, having worked in the health industry for 14 years, Sarah completed the 200hr 'Teaching Training: Beginning Level' though the Integral Yoga Academy, as she felt there is much to gain from regularly practicing such a holistic offering. Sarah has since completed the Level 1 Kids Yoga Training with Yoga Kids Training Academy, with much appreciation for the fun and creativity such practice invites.

Now affiliated with Yoga Australia, Sarah is honoured to share space and passion for a practice she believes can strengthen and inspire the mind, body and soul.

We have a range of children’s activities and adult learning opportunities during terms and some school holidays. We support local community groups – whether it’s providing a space for them to meet or giving them assistance with funding applications. Come and talk to us about your ideas and how we can help your group realise their dreams. We also run our own community building activities such as the Woodend Community Lunch and the Woodend Repair Cafe.
