The Inner Studio -
Two-Day Workshop With Sandey Hoskin and Jodie Main
Saturday 14th March, 9.15am – 4.15pm
and
Saturday 11th April, 9.15am – 4.15pm
Investment: $465 for both workshops (includes a delicious lunch)
An exciting local collaboration, brings you “The Inner Studio” - a compassionate space to explore inner harmony through mindful body/mind awareness and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Yoga teacher Sandey Hoskin of Point Wells partners with psychologist Jodie Main of Snells Beach to offer a workshop series designed to help you listen deeply to your body and your mind.
Sandey is the Curator and Facilitator of Inspire Yoga Teacher Training NZ and Jodie is an experienced health psychologist with a passion for Internal Family Systems (IFS) who has been working with clients in the Warkworth district for more than 15 years. Working side by side in trauma-informed yoga, they discovered a shared vision: to blend yoga with Internal Family Systems for deeper inner work.
This program blends trauma-informed yoga with the reflective clarity of IFS. You’ll learn to notice parts that show up as physical symptoms, self-talk, or unhelpful behaviours, and you’ll practice with guidance that keeps your safety and integrity at the forefront. Through a blend of yoga, meditation, and group exercises, you’ll access your inner parts with care and compassion, and begin to hear your Inner Self - the calm, compassionate leader within. Doing this can allow the parts to relax, step back, and resolve inner conflict. This can lead to a greater sense of flow and calm in everyday life.
Jodie shares; “Internal Family Systems is an exciting path for inner development. We all have parts that can contribute to stress. You might notice an inner critic, an overburdened rescuing part, or a part that just doesn’t feel good enough. Sometimes these parts can be in conflict. There may be a part that wants to move in a healthy, energising way, and another part that just wants to rest.”
Sandey is an experienced teacher who brings the wisdom of the yoga traditions to the workshop, with guided yoga practices focused on somatics, inner connection, grounding and personal reflection
Investment: $465 for both workshops (includes a delicious lunch)
