I've never been very good at exercise.

'Yoga last night was very relaxing. Thanks Narelle for creating a moment of stillness for me.

'After 5 weeks of yin & nidra yoga I felt so rested. Being able to slow down and focus on myself for a while was bliss.'

'Thank you Narelle, I came home much calmer. Looking forward to a good nights sleep.'

'I was feeling overwhelmed with life and kids. In the session I did relax and was able to let go. I have found clarity'

'Participating in Yin & Nidra Yoga with Narelle was a beautiful learning experience! Each time I attended my mind was racing but each time I left feeling so calm and relaxed. A lovely way to end the day. I'm looking forward to more sessions.'

'As soon as I walked into my first yin & nidra yoga class I knew I'd made the best decision and by the end of that first class I felt more relaxed that I'd been in ages. Narelle's approach is warm, informed, flexible and nurturing. Since practicing yin & nidra yoga I've been able to sleep more deeply and let go of worries more easily. The world is pretty 'yang' at the best of times, so this yin practice is essential to my wellbeing.'

'The Yin Yoga has been brilliant. I love that I've committed to 30 minutes sessions to take time for me. I realised that unless I make my health my first priority I'm not able to manage everything else.'

Hi, I’m Narelle, a Wellness & Organisation Coach and Yin & Nidra Yoga instructor. I help individuals and families with additional needs or organisational challenges to implement simple organisational strategies so that they can create a clutter-free, safe and functional home.

As a mum and through my work supporting families and children on the autism spectrum like my own I know first hand the challenges of carrying the extra load associated with caring for children with additional needs. The extra mental load can start to take a toll on your confidence, self-esteem and health. It’s only in recent years that I’ve also come to understand the importance of rest and making sure my cup is full to be able to continue to give to my family.

When I’m not helping families implement organisational strategies or teaching Yin & Nidra Yoga you’ll find me enjoying a good book, cooking, listening to a podcast because I love learning, camping, walking, doing yoga or enjoying sunny days on a local beach.

Here are some of the most common concerns that people have about trying Yin & Nidra Yoga.

What if I'm a beginner at yoga?

The Yin yoga sessions are perfect for all levels of fitness and abilities. Whether you’re starting out, have an injury or have practiced before I’ll give you options to make sure the practice is safe.

When you start I’ll give you online access to 5 basic Yin Shapes to help you understand the basics of Yin yoga.

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin Yoga is a quiet practice that slows down movement and focuses on a spiritual connection with your mind and body.

Yin Yoga involves holding deep poses (shapes) for longer periods of time. A pose may last a minute or 2, or even up to 5 minutes. By holding shapes your body’s tissues lengthen and release, leaving your muscles feeling as though they have been relaxed or massaged.

This practice can improve your range of motion and help strengthen and heal reoccurring injuries. Yin Yoga can correct habitual posture problems, leaving you balanced and in control. It also releases stress, worry and unease.

The slow movements encourage you to sit with your emotions and be curious about them rather than judging. The stillness in Yin Yoga is meditative and restorative. It offers a chance to connect to your mind, body and spirit.

What if I've never meditated before?

Yoga Nidra is a sleep-based, conscious GUIDED meditation. The recordings are 20 minutes. I promise it will feel like 10 minutes. Your body sleeps while your mind is awake taking in the guided instructions. It’s complete REST for both your mind and body.

Nidra Yoga is a great way to let your body rest and balance your rest-activity cycle. You get all the benefits of meditation, as well as sleep.

Practicing Yoga Nidra for just 20-minutes is equivalent rest for your body to an extra 2 hours of sleep. Getting to sleep and staying asleep is also improved with a regular Yoga Nidra practice.

There are other short meditations that will help you build mindfulness into your day.

The body benefits from movement & the mind benefits from stillness.
