Join Gyani, certified yoga therapist and Ayurveda lifestyle advisor, for an immersive workshop designed to help you learn the best practices for a deep restful sleep. Discover time-tested practices that activate your parasympathetic nervous system and optimise the quality of your sleep - so you wake up refreshed and ready to embrace the day. Falling asleep should be the most natural thing in the world, yet for many of us, it’s a nightly struggle. Racing thoughts, tension in the body, and restless tossing and turning can make sleep feel elusive. In fact, 66% of Australian adults report experiencing at least one sleep-related issue.
