blankets. books. tea. treats.
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.
rest and digest
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.
creative napping
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.
yet i still wonder
What happens when your sense of purpose meets real-life responsibilities? A reflection on dharma, balance, and the evolving nature of a meaningful life.
save the date
We’re officially opening applications for our next exhibition. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to share your creativity—this is your sign.
it’s never the destination
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.
decisions
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.
sh*tty battles
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.
what is there left to know?
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.
evidence that something matters
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.
last call out for artists
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.
are we there yet?
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.
two wolves
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.
niggling new years thoughts
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.
next months course
Our 50 Hour Yin Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training is beginning soon, and we couldn’t be more excited to invite you into this deeply nourishing journey. Whether you’re a yoga teacher, facilitator, healer, or simply someone who feels called to explore Yin and meditation on a deeper level, this training is designed to support both personal transformation and professional growth.
Led by the incredibly passionate and experienced teachers Karen Gruber and Suzie Q (with Annika also teaching alongside them), this training weaves together ancient wisdom, modern understanding, and years of lived experience. You’ll dive into the history and philosophy of Yin Yoga and meditation, Taoist principles, meridian theory, mindfulness, anatomy, and the art of thoughtful class planning — all while learning how to share these practices confidently with others if you choose.
This is more than a training; it’s an invitation to slow down, peel back layers, and reconnect with what truly makes your heart sing.
then there is the heat
Sometimes the smallest pauses land the deepest. A slow breath, a gentle yoga class after days on the road, or a moment of putting the phone down can feel like a soft exhale after a long inhale. In the heat, the movement, and the noise of everyday life, these moments become quiet invitations to slow down, breathe, and remember what’s essential — without needing to fix a thing.
yin and meditate at nin
A reminder that our Yin Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training starts NEXT MONTH, Friday 27th February, 2026. This is the third time we will offer this course, and our first couple selling out well in advance (a very pleasant surprise and an honour!).
what to expect
We’re excited to remind you that our studios are now consolidated into one beautiful space in South Penrith. Expect more yoga, beginner-friendly hoop and roller dance classes, and all your favourite reformer and mat Pilates — now under one roof, with easier parking and a full weekly timetable to explore.

eat on the floor with us
As we approach the final week of classes at our St Marys studio, we’re inviting our community to gather for a warm and simple farewell. On Sunday 21st December, after the last classes, we’ll come together for a free Community Potluck Dinner—a chance to connect, share food, and honour the space that has held so many memories.
