Imagine a place where there’s nothing to achieve.
No Phone Reception | No constant noise | No pressure to keep up
Just Space
“We don’t move into stillness, we unwind our way there”
This is not a traditional Yin training.
Rather than moving into a shape and holding it, we explore the conversation between movement, sensation and stillness. Through fascia unwinding, somatic awareness and gentle oscillation, we soften, lengthen and soften again, allowing the body to gradually reveal a deeper expression of itself. We’ll learn to listen to the body’s subtle cues and create conditions for restoration, connection, and nervous system regulation.
Supported by live sound integration, nature and the quiet of off grid environment, we explore how awareness, sensation and presence can become powerful guides for healing and recalibration
“At the heart of this training is a simple practice; listen deeply enough for the body to guide the way”
Somatic Yin & Live Sound Journey

Meet your facilitators

Meg Ryan is a Yin Yoga and Somatic Movement teacher whose work invites people to slow down, soften and reconnect with the wisdom of the body. Blending yin yoga, fascia unwinding, somatic awareness and nervous system education, she creates spaces where movement becomes less about achieving a shape and more about listening, sensing and coming home to yourself. Her teaching encourages curiosity over performance, supporting students to cultivate resilience, presence and embodied ease.
With a deeply intuitive and compassionate approach, Meg guides experiences that honour the body’s natural rhythms and innate capacity to heal. Her classes weave together stillness, gentle exploration and embodied inquiry, offering practices that continue far beyond the mat. Through authentic presence and thoughtful guidance, she helps students develop a deeper relationship with themselves, allowing yin yoga to become not just a practice, but a way of moving through life with greater awareness and connection.

Hannah More is a Natural Movement Yoga guide, Zenthai Shiatsu therapist and ounder of Marou Home, where she is dedicated to creating spaces for movement, connection and wellbeing. Her guiding is inspired by Strala Yoga, somatic movement, fascia-informed practices, authentic touch and the healing rhythms of nature, inviting people to move with connection, ease and trust rather than force
With a warm and intuitive approach, Hannah guides experiences that support nervous system attunement, embodied awareness and meaningful human connection. Whether leading classes, retreats or teacher trainings, she encourages students to listen deeply to their bodies, cultivating resilience, presence and a sense of home within themselves.
Our off-grid sanctuary operates on solar power, harvests rainwater and uses composting toilets.
This allows us to live in harmony with the land, while caring for it and having fun.
This land is Gundangurra Land and we acknowledge, honour and respect the traditional custodians of the land.

Yes. This is a 50-hour Continuing Education Training designed for yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners wanting to deepen their understanding of Yin Yoga, somatic awareness and embodied teaching.
The 50hrs are made up of the four day immersion training, along with self reflection practices. We also plan to have a few video pratcie before hand. Its isn’t designed to feel like homework but rather an opportunity to deepen learning and embody what you’ve already experienced during our time together. At this stage, the training is certified by Marou Home rather than accredited with Yoga. Alliance. We intentionally created it this way so we could offer something that isnt confined by external curriculum requirements. Our focus is on providing a deeply experiential training centred around somatic nervous system attunement, authentic connection and the embodied pratice of yin, rather than simply meeting accreditation standards. This can be added as 50hrs with other trainings for insurance like IICT
