Vitality & Direction: A Yogic Path to Presence

This yoga class is designed to energise the body while anchoring the mind through a blend of conscious breathwork, dynamic movement, and meditation. We'll explore how the breath guides focus, how movement builds resilience and agility, and how presence is the gateway to performance—both on the mat and in the waves. A powerful recalibration for the nervous system and a reminder that integrated strength is a grounded emergence from stillness.

This class is generously offered by Ellie Freestone as part of the Surfing NSW VW Classic surfing state titles.

About your teacher:

ELLIE FREESTONE

After completing her initial training in Ashtanga in 2014, Ellie deepened her journey by moving to Bali, immersing herself in its rich spiritual traditions and ancient yogic philosophy where she completed advanced training in Vinyasa, Hatha, pranayama, meditation, restorative and somatic yin, yoga nidra, Thai yoga massage, Vedanta (yogic philosophy), and women’s therapeutic yoga.

Ellie passionately curates and leads retreats and events internationally, blending timeless yogic wisdom with embodied knowledge. Her intention is to guide students home—to their own inner voice and truest state of being—through the healing power of breath, inspiration from the natural elements, and integrated embodiment, fostering resilience, wholeness, and self-compassion on and off the mat.
