Meet your facilitators:

Erin Rose is an Australian yoga teacher, Aura-Soma colour therapist, and women's embodiment educator with over a decade of guiding women back to their bodies, their cycles, and their inner knowing.

Erin brings her whole life to her work, now as a new mother who birthed her son at home, and a wife.

Holding a 500-hour yoga teaching certification, Level III Advanced Aura-Soma Colour Therapy qualification, and training in Somatic Stress Release and subtle body anatomy, Erin's work sits at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern women's health. She has taught at retreat centres across Australia — including Gaia Retreat & Spa in the Byron hinterland — and has spent years facilitating women's circles, seasonal workshops, and embodiment programmes.

Erin's teaching is grounded, warm, and deeply practical. She teaches from what she has lived, integrated, and come to know in her own body. She is not a guru. She is a woman, doing the work alongside you.

For Erin, the body is a woman's greatest source of intelligence. Find Erin on Instagram Here

Romina has Italian and Scottish heritage and has made Puglia home — where she lives with her partner and young daughter, and where she is slowly, intentionally creating a little oasis for people seeking transformation.

A mother, a partner, and a woman genuinely devoted to her own growth — Romina brings all of it into the spaces she's in. She doesn't teach from a place of having it all figured out. She teaches from the place of someone who keeps showing up, keeps learning, and keeps saying yes to the call of the Universe.

She has been teaching dance and body movement for decades, and her passion for sharing what she knows is matched only by her hunger to keep discovering more. Every gathering is a mutual exchange — as much received as it is given.

Romina is your host and co-facilitator, fluent in Italian and English, and welcomes women at every stage of their journey.

"With every movement there can be presence… or not… that is the difference."
