๐Ÿ™ We invite you to Yogaruka for a somatic evening of intentional transformation โ€” where ancient ritual meets embodied practice. Embrace the sacred medicine of ceremonial cacao together to ground, open the heart and set intentions before launching into a breathwork infused ecstatic dance journey guided by dj dao ้“. As the arc softens, you will downshift into restorative yin yoga, allowing the body to land and integrate in stillness while blanketed in the warm, earthly resonance of Tibetan singing bowls. The journey blends into a deeply immersive sound bath weaving blissful handpan sounds, ancient throat singing and entrancing shamanic drumming to clear blockages and deepen your state of rest and tranquility. You awaken to nourishing food to refuel your vessel, with space to connect, reflect, and gently return. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

๐Ÿง˜ 7:30 - ๐˜๐ข๐ง ๐˜๐จ๐ ๐š - After movement and breath, this restorative segment of the evening is about landing โ€” properly. Weโ€™ll use long-held, fully supported shapes to let the nervous system come out of activation and into repair. Expect props, stillness, and space to actually feel whatโ€™s there once everything else quiets down. Thereโ€™s very little effort required. The work is in allowing.

Amrit will weave blissful handpan sounds, ancient earthly throat singing and hypnotic shamanic drumming and vocals into an entrancing multi-phase soundscape. Bathe in the tranquility as tension dissolves from your body and mind.

โœจ ๐‘๐ฎ๐š is a movement practitioner and the founder of Yogaruka, a Sydney-based movement studio focused on intelligent, integrative training. Her work sits at the intersection of strength, mobility, and somatic awareness, shaped by years of experience across rehabilitation, yoga, Pilates, and body-based therapies.
She is particularly interested in how the nervous system organises experience, and how movement, breath, and stillness can shift that organisation. Her approach is precise but intuitive: less about performance, more about learning how to feel, regulate, and inhabit the body with clarity and grace.
๐ŸŽถ ๐€๐ฆ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ (Shigadi) is a multi-instrumental musician and sound healer, whose vision is to transform and restore balance to the mind, body and soul through the power of sound. He blends his rich background in music, professional psychology and spirituality to help individuals achieve greater holistic wellness. Owner of Immortal Cacao, Amrit facilitates cacao ceremonies to help ignite joy and creativity in people through the loving spirit of this medicine.
As a sound healer, he predominantly uses the handpan, shamanic vocals including his didgeridoo-esque style of Tuvan throat singing, piano, singing bowls and percussion. Specialising in chakra-based voice activation and drumming, Amrit encourages individuals to discover the healing potential of their own natural vibrations.
