After the beautiful experience of our Winter Retreat, we're returning to Yanada for a weekend that celebrates the beginning of summer. Join us for yoga, meditation, kayaking, watercolour painting, nourishing meals, laughter, rest and plenty of free time to reconnect with yourself from 27–29 November 2026.

For years, I believed hosting retreats simply wasn't for me. After an emotionally draining experience in 2023, I carried that story with me until something encouraged me to try again. Returning to the same venue during Winter Solstice, I discovered that the issue wasn't the retreat itself—it was trying to be everything to everyone at once. This time, fully present and supported by an incredible community, I came home with a deeper understanding of what my life's work truly is: creating spaces where people feel seen, welcomed, and connected.

In a world filled with endless noise and distractions, true peace isn't found in silence alone—it's found in quieting the mind. Through reflections on meditation, nature, and a silent retreat, Karen explores how creating space for stillness can reveal deeper self-awareness, inner calm, and the wisdom waiting beneath the mental chatter.

It was a milestone week at Kaya Academy as we celebrated the graduation of both our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training and 200 Hour Reformer Pilates Teacher Training students. After six months of dedication, study, practice teaching, and personal growth, our graduates completed an incredible journey. We're sharing a look back at this special moment, along with details about our upcoming Yin Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training and Reformer Pilates Teacher Training programs in Penrith.

Winter has a way of making us retreat inward — skipping routines, cancelling plans, and promising ourselves we’ll “start again later.” But sometimes the best way to move through winter is by not disappearing from yourself in the first place. Our Winter Reset Sale is here to support you with discounted unlimited memberships, grounding movement practices, and a Yin Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training designed for deep rest and reconnection. Offers end May 31.

Winter’s here, and we’re leaning all the way into cosy season — but that doesn’t mean waiting until January to prioritise yourself again. Our Winter Reset Sale is all about creating support, movement and routine before the colder months fully settle in. For a limited time, save on our 6 and 12-month unlimited memberships, with access to Reformer Pilates, Yoga and Hoop Dance classes, flexible start dates, and pause options included.

At Nin Yoga Penrith, our classes have become so much more than just yoga. From restorative workshops and deeply nourishing conversations to retreats and Yin Yoga teacher training, these spaces continue to grow into a beautiful community centred around connection, creativity, nervous system support, and genuine human connection. Discover what’s coming up next, including our sold-out retreats, upcoming workshops, and 50 Hour Yin Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training starting this July.

In a world that often feels overstimulating and overwhelming, more people are craving spaces to slow down, soften, and reconnect with themselves. Our upcoming Yin Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training at Nin Yoga Penrith offers exactly that — a 13-week journey into rest, nervous system regulation, meditation, breathwork, and the deeper philosophy of Yin Yoga.

This weekend at Nin Yoga Penrith, we’re slowing things down with a deeply supportive Restorative Yoga class and a cosy community Book Club gathering. Plus, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined our beautiful Mother’s Day events.

What happens when your sense of purpose meets real-life responsibilities? A reflection on dharma, balance, and the evolving nature of a meaningful life.

We’re officially opening applications for our next exhibition. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to share your creativity—this is your sign.

I never set out to become a yoga teacher—only to deepen my practice. What began as a curiosity at 16, guided by meditation and after-school “Yoga TV” sessions, evolved over years of inconsistency, rediscovery, and growth. Teaching, I’ve realised, isn’t separate from practice—it’s an extension of it. No matter where we begin, we are all students first, shaped by the journey rather than the destination.

Ten years ago I was in Goa doing my first yoga teacher training, telling a philosophy teacher that one day I hoped to bring my future community back to India.

At the time, there was no studio and no clear plan — just a dream.

Now, a decade later, that dream is becoming real as our Nin Yoga community prepares to travel back to North Goa together. Sometimes the seeds we plant take years to bloom.

Jacki has been part of the Nin Yoga family since the very beginning — the quiet creative force behind so much of what you see around the studio. Now she’s stepping into the spotlight for an incredible cause, participating in Stars of Penrith to help raise $5,000 for Cancer Council. Cancer touches so many lives, and Jacki is turning her passion for community and the arts into meaningful support for those navigating it. If you’re able, we’d love for you to join us in cheering her on and helping her reach her fundraising goal.

I used to think that by now I would know better — know where my keys are, know that shortcuts aren’t really shortcuts, know not to bump into the same chair.

But each day, I’m reminded that there is still so much to learn — not just about the world, but about myself.

What if we approached ourselves with a beginner’s mindset? Offered grace for forgotten keys, wrong turns, bruised shins, and anxious thoughts?

Every morning we wake up slightly different than the person who went to sleep.

Today, just begin again.

Last week, I cried — over a book, my daughter’s surgery, the weight of running a business, and the beauty of our yoga teacher training graduation. And I noticed how often we apologise for tears. But emotion isn’t weakness. It’s evidence that something matters. This is a reflection on motherhood, leadership, community, and why we don’t need to shrink our feelings to make others comfortable.

We’re bringing exhibitions back to Nin Yoga Penrith — and artist applications are about to close. Threads of Being will fill the studio with visual art, music, poetry, and community once again. If you’ve been considering applying (or know someone who should), this is your moment. Early bird tickets are now on sale to support an unforgettable night of local creativity.

We keep waiting for the moment when everything is done — when work settles, parenting eases, and life finally feels calm. But what if there is no finish line? After a month travelling in a van with two kids, I realised rest isn’t a reward waiting at the end. It’s something we take in small pieces along the way.

An ancient Cherokee story reminds us that we all carry light and shadow within us. Discover how Yin Yoga and meditation help slow down, sit with discomfort, and feed the part of us rooted in presence, patience, and peace.

A reflective look at why New Year’s resolutions so often fall away—and how a gentler, Ayurvedic approach to habit-building can help us create real, lasting change. This piece explores the power of meeting yourself where you are, letting go of perfection, and trusting that small, consistent actions truly add up.
