In today’s fast-paced world, many of us have become disconnected from our bodies—stuck in routines that leave us feeling tense, restricted, and out of balance. Somatic Yoga offers a gentle yet powerful pathway back to embodiment, inviting you to tap into your body’s innate wisdom and restore the freedom to move with ease.

Developed by Zoe-Anna, Somatic Yoga is the result of her own personal journey of meeting pain with compassion. By combining Yoga, ageless mobility, stretch therapy, and animal flow, Zoe-Anna has crafted a practice that allows you to work through tension in a way that honours your body’s natural rhythms.

The beauty of Somatic Yoga is that it’s accessible to everyBODY, no matter your level of experience. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or new to the practice, Somatic Yoga meets you exactly where you are, encouraging exploration rather than perfection. It’s about feeling into your body, understanding its sensations, and discovering what lies beneath the surface. As humans, we are creatures of habit, often holding tension and stress in ways we may not even realise. Somatic Yoga provides an opportunity to break free from these patterns and to remember that nothing is set in stone.

At the core of Somatic Yoga is the idea of fluidity—an invitation to move through the passing sensations and emotions, allowing the body to release what no longer serves it. Each movement, each breath, is a step toward unlocking the deeper layers of yourself, dissolving the old stories and memories held within the body. The practice encourages you to listen to the messages of your body with curiosity and compassion, discovering new spaces of freedom that may have been lost or forgotten over time.

Imagine practicing Somatic Yoga surrounded by the sanctuary of nature at our Reconnect Retreat. Here, amidst the bushland of Australia, you’ll be immersed in an environment that mirrors the very principles of Somatic Yoga: balance, flow, and deep connection. The natural world has a way of gently reminding us to slow down, to breathe, and to reconnect—not just with ourselves, but with the rhythms of the earth.

As you move through each stretch and posture, your body will naturally open into the next, developing a more intimate relationship with itself. You’ll notice that the practice of Somatic Yoga isn’t about forcing yourself into poses but about allowing your body to guide you. In a world where we are constantly rushing from point A to point B, the yoga mat becomes a sacred space to pause, to be present with what is, and to truly feel into your body. This presence is an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you—whether it's physical tension, emotional stress, or mental clutter.

The Reconnect Retreat is held during the New Moon, a time traditionally associated with new beginnings, introspection, and setting intentions for the next phase of life. This lunar phase encourages us to turn inward, to reflect on what we need to release, and to embrace the fresh possibilities that lie ahead. Practicing Somatic Yoga during this time is particularly powerful, as the body becomes a vessel for transformation. Each breath, each movement, is part of a dance between you and the natural world, an unfolding that reflects the cycles of the moon and the rhythms of the earth.

As you flow through the weekend, the surrounding nature becomes your guide. The gentle breeze, the rustling leaves, and the soft earth beneath your feet all serve as reminders of the interconnectedness of all things. And just as the natural world moves in cycles, so too does your body. Each session of Somatic Yoga allows you to realign with these natural rhythms, helping you to release tension and restore balance, both physically and energetically.

A true highlight of the retreat is the proximity to a magnesium pool and a natural lake—two perfect symbols of the fluidity and relaxation you’ll feel within. After your yoga practice, imagine slipping into the cool, healing waters, feeling the tension melt away as you float, fully supported by nature itself. The magnesium pool is not only deeply soothing for the muscles but also helps to calm the nervous system, promoting deeper relaxation and a sense of peace.

This retreat is more than just an escape; it’s a journey back to yourself. It’s an opportunity to let go of the hustle and reconnect with your body, your breath, and the present moment. Through Somatic Yoga, you’ll rediscover the joy of movement and the freedom that comes from embodied presence. The weekend offers you the space to slow down, tune in, and nurture your body in a way that feels deeply restorative and nourishing.

As the New Moon rises, you’ll feel a shift—not just in the skies, but within yourself. The stillness of the night, the sound of the wind in the trees, and the feeling of the earth beneath you all come together to create a container for growth and renewal. It’s here, in this sacred space, that you can release the old and step into the new.

So, whether you're looking to heal old wounds, release tension, or simply reconnect with yourself, the Reconnect Retreat offers the perfect setting for your transformation. Join us in nature’s embrace, where Somatic Yoga will guide you into the flow of your body’s authentic expression.

Each breath, each movement, is an invitation to come home to yourself.
