About Moon Days
Practicing yoga is practicing being in harmony with ourselves and our environment.
Ashtanga yoga practitioners follow the cycle of the moon, resting whenever the moon is full, and also resting whenever the moon is new (dark). Over time, practicing and resting in tune with the moon allows insight to sprout within us. Rising and waning energy is life; it is breath; it is sunrise and sunset; it is season. Through yoga, we learn to rise and rest when the time is right, acting as a part of our world, rather than in isolation and in opposition to it.
There is no class on full or new moon days.
Upcoming
We offer special events, workshops, and retreats at our Northcote home base and in locations throughout Greater Melbourne and beyond.

Authentic Relating
What is Authentic Relating?
Authentic Relating is a practice - and a set of tools - that fosters deeper connection with others. It invites us to show up with presence, awareness, and skillful honesty in every aspect of life (romantic, friends, family, work etc). It overlaps with other relational practices like Non Violent Communication and Circling.
People practising Authentic Relating, even for the first time, usually report:
Greater self awareness and emotional clarity
Deeper sense of connection to self and to others
Clearer communication and more fluency in navigating conversations, including situations of conflicts and repairs
Who is this workshop for?
Anyone curious about personal growth, wanting more ease and connection in their interactions, interested in improving their relational skills, or wishing to gain a formal understanding of AR frameworks and mechanics.
No prior knowledge of Authentic Relating is required. You just need to:
Have an interest in having fulfilling relationships with others, working on your emotional intelligence, or learning how to communicate more effectively
Come with an open and playful mind and the understanding that this is a space to experiment together with ways of relating that may be out of the usual (i.e. expect playfulness and quirkiness)
No need to commit and come to all Fundamentals of Authentic Relating series as sessions are independent from each other.
More about what to expect…
Fundamentals of Authentic Relating (AR) is a workshop series (3rd Saturday of each month between February and June 2026) to learn and practice Authentic Relating. It’s for people who want to bring more awareness, honesty, and connection into their relationships. Sessions are themed and we’ll begin by exploring how to notice what is happening inside (Feb), followed by listening more deeply (Mar), developing curiosity (Apr), expressing oneself with clarity and courage (May), and navigating boundaries and conflict with care (June).
In February we are exploring ‘Noticing’:
Slow down to increase our awareness of the present moment
Track the wholeness of our experience through sensations, emotions, and thoughts
Be more mindful of where our attention goes and where aliveness leads us
The extent to which we can park our judgements and welcome what is
Aware presence as a relational gift
The workshop is mostly experiential. You can expect a mix of structured activities in pairs or small groups (55%), facilitated reflection time (30%) and teachings (15%).
After the workshop you will be emailed session notes (a summary of teachings, prompts for self reflection, suggestions for integration in daily life etc.)
We aim to foster a sense of connection, insight, and fun in/between participants.
About the Fundamentals of Authentic Relating Series
During this five part series, we’ll explore a different theme each month. Even if connected, each workshop is a stand alone experience, so come for one, come for some, or come for all!

Ayurvedic Detox at Sukhavati, Bali
Nurture your body, deeply rest, address imbalances, and restore harmony using the ancient, healing wisdom of Ayurveda.
Join Amanda Ferris and friends at Sukhavati Wellness Retreat, Bali, where you will be softly carried through a personalised program of Ayurvedic care.
Our Venue
Tucked away in a serene Balinese village, Sukhavati Wellness Retreat is a premier, boutique retreat designed to support health transformation using the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. The tranquil, natural setting is the perfect place to unwind, revitalise, heal, and form sustainable habits for lasting well-being.
Sukhavati’s Approach…
“Our unique approach is in making Ayurveda simple, practical and easily applicable for everyone. Whether you already love Ayurveda, or have yet to experience its benefits, we’re here to guide you. If you simply want to rest and relax in the ultimate luxury, or get the profound benefits of a deep cleanse, you will receive an comprehensive program tailored specifically to your needs by our world-class doctors. Everything at Sukhavati is flexible to what you most need, helping you achieve better health in a way that works for you.”
What Is Involved?
Ayurvedic treatments such as herbal therapies, massages, yoga, meditation, and mindful eating will help you cultivate a peaceful and balanced inner state. You may not have heard of many of the therapies offered at Sukhavati. You will find an excellent online guide right here.
About The Yoga
During the Ayurvedic Detox Retreat, Amanda Ferris will facilitate the yoga needs of individual participants. That might mean continuing with a regular Ashtanga Yoga practice, being introduced to yoga for the first time and receiving guidance on how to build a regular personal yoga practice, or practicing restful, restorative yoga.
Your requirements might vary from your usual life habits (and your usual yoga practice) whilst you are detoxing. Amanda is well-experienced with Sukhavati’s programs and will help you navigate your yoga practice during your stay.
