## 🌿 Yoga & Meditation

At Gold Coast Dharma Realm
Freely offered by the monastery

***

### 🧘‍♀️ Come as you are.

Let your body soften.
Let your mind settle.
Let your heart open.

This is a gentle introduction to meditation and mindful movement — held in the peaceful grounds of a Buddhist monastery.
Each session is a chance to slow down, stretch out, and reconnect — not just with your body, but with a quieter, deeper part of yourself. We’ll move, sit, and explore what it means to be truly present — with kindness, breath, and a bit of spaciousness.

***

### 🌱 Each Week You'll Be Guided Through:

🌀 45 mins – Yoga
Simple stretches to help you feel into your body, release tension, and sit with greater ease. The focus is not on how it looks, but how it feels — tuning into the body with care and awareness.
🧘 45 mins – Meditation
Breath, stillness, and simple presence practices to help you return to yourself.
💬 30 mins – Q&A and shared reflection
A relaxed space to ask questions, reflect, or simply listen and learn in community.

### 🌾 Practicing in a Sacred Space

As this course takes place in a monastery, we ask all participants to approach the space with mindfulness and respect.
We kindly ask that you:

• Please wear modest clothing out of respect for the monastic environment.
• Please do not bring meat, alcohol, illicit drugs, or cigarettes.

This is a space to move gently, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what’s real — from the inside out.
The environment of the monastery offers quiet support for inner practice, a kind of nourishment and steadiness that can’t always be seen, but often felt.

Yoga with Daniella
I commenced my yoga journey nearly 10 years ago, driven by a deep personal interest in holistic wellbeing and mindful movement. In 2018, I completed Hatha Yoga Teacher Training at Yogiyoga College in China. After relocating to the Gold Coast in 2021, I undertook and completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Laura Humphreys at Boheme Yoga Studio. Over the years, I have also regularly practiced Iyengar Yoga, which has deepened my understanding of alignment, structure, and discipline in asana. I am dedicated to the continued practice and teaching of both Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, with a focus on cultivating balance, awareness, and inner strength.
