Sat 17 Oct 9am - 12:30pm
Come and spend a beautiful spring morning with us at Callala Beach.
We’ll begin the day with gentle yoga, breathwork and somatic practices led by Carla from South Coast Soul, before gradually opening into voice, sound and song.
Carla offers a grounded, welcoming style of yoga that blends simple practices to help you slow down, settle your nervous system and reconnect with yourself. Her classes are inclusive, restorative and suitable for every body, creating a supportive space where you can breathe deeply, move with ease and simply arrive as you are.
For this special morning, the practice will also explore the connection between breath, body and voice. We’ll move through gentle chest, throat and heart-opening practices, conscious breathing, vocal toning and simple sound-making, releasing tension and warming up the breath and voice in a playful, pressure-free way.
From there, we’ll take a light refreshment break before flowing naturally into a joyful singing workshop with vocal artist and songwriter Shelly Brown - inspired by gospel, soul and songs from around the world.
With bodies warmed, breath flowing and voices already awakened, we’ll learn harmonies by ear, explore our voices together and experience the simple magic of singing in community.
There’s no need to think of yourself as a “singer”, and absolutely no experience is needed. The whole morning is designed as a gentle progression from movement, to breath, to sound, to song - simply bring yourself and a willingness to join in.
Whether you sing all the time or haven’t sung in years, you’ll be warmly welcomed.
Our hope is that you’ll head home feeling relaxed, uplifted and connected - with your body a little freer, your voice a little more open, and a few new songs still ringing in your ears.
