A meditative blend of Yin Yoga & Shiatsu Massage to restore balance, soften the body, & reconnect with your inner winter landscape.
Join us for a 90-minute journey that blends the meditative stillness of Yin Yoga with the healing touch of Shiatsu massage - a deeply nourishing experience for both body and mind.
As you rest in each posture, trained Shiatsu practitioners move gently through the space, offering acupressure, light stretches, and supportive holds that open meridians, regulate the nervous system, and deepen body awareness.
Rooted in the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, this session attunes to the energy of winter - a season of rest, reflection, and replenishment. Through slow movement, therapeutic touch, and seasonal insights, you’ll be guided inward to reconnect with your inner landscape and the quiet strength within.
Co-facilitated by Emma, Lel, Lauren, and Michelle, this session welcomes all bodies and levels of experience. Come as you are, to pause, restore, and return home to yourself in the heart of winter.
What to Expect:
• A gentle 90-minute Yin Yoga practice
• Shiatsu massage offered while you're in supported poses
• Acupressure, light stretches, and energy balancing techniques
• A cosy, calming atmosphere with seasonal reflections
• Space to unwind, reconnect, and replenish

Things to note:
Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. We recommend wearing comfortable, loose clothes to enable deep breathing and sitting/laying upon the floor with ease. Something to cover your eyes, if you wish to do so (eg. eye mask, scarf). A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).
Personal responsibility: Please make an assessment on whether you are feeling stable and resourced enough to explore the practices on offer in this event.
Notice of Partial Moment Amateur Photography/Videography: There are many events held at Centre of You where no content is captured. The facilitator of this event however wishes to capture moments of this gathering for future marketing and community-sharing purposes. This will take place via their personal device captured by themselves or a representative. We recognise that being recorded can impact personal comfort and nervous system regulation and we want to honor your preferences. If you do not wish to have your image captured yet still wish to join, know that this is entirely possible at this event. Please speak with us at the door so we can honour your boundaries. If you’d like to review any footage captured at the conclusion of the event, you are most welcome to do so.
Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 6:45pm - 7:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 7:15pm. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.
Driving: Know Centre of You is on Chapel St and ample time to find a car spot is best to be factored into your plans. Park direct on Chapel St (spots unmetered after 5pm) or in Anchor Place, the open-air parking lot in the side street that runs opposite Centre of You (unmetered after 4pm).
Public transport - tram: Both the number 6 tram & 78 tram stop on the corner of High St/Chapel St. This is stop 31 on the number 6 tram (Moreland/Glen Iris) & stop 45 on the number 78 tram (North Richmond/Balaclava).
Public transport - train: Both Prahran & Windsor stations along the Sandringham Line will get you walking distance to Centre of You.
Finding Centre of You: Centre of You is nestled within the arcade that Chapel St Bazaar is in (217 Chapel St). It is up a flight of stairs with a wide landing at the half-way-point.

If you could use support in getting up the stairs or would like to discuss ways to make your experience at Centre of You more comfortable, please reach out via hello@centreofyou.com.au or via DM over on Centre of You Instagram.
