Do I need to book to attend a class?
You will need to book any in person or live streamed classes via the schedule page. Any on-demand videos are accessible 24/7. You can purchase online with a credit card, via direct debit or cash (in person classes only).
What are the options for memberships and passes?
If you plan to attend regular in person you can save time and money with a 5, 10 or 20 Pass Card which is conveniently managed online.
If you’d prefer to practice when it suits you try the monthly or yearly On-Demand Membership is the best option. You can access a multitude of classes and customise your practice to how ever you feel on that day. Memberships start from $11 a week.
The absolute BEST value is the Unlimited Bundle Membership - which gives you unlimited access to in person and on demand classes.
I’m new to your classes. Is it best to book a private before joining a group class?
If you are coming injury free and pain free, then it is not necessary to book a private, however you are most welcome to do so if it will help build your confidence up and so you know what to expect from a group class. This could be done in person or online.
If you are working with an injury or condition, then I would suggest an Info Call to discuss which class would be suitable for you and or a private session so we can make the best recommendation on moving forward onto more private sessions or group classes.
I have an injury or condition. Where do I start and what can I do?
If you are working with an injury or condition, then I would suggest an Info Call to discuss which class would be suitable for you and or a private session so we can make the best recommendation on moving forward onto more private sessions or group classes.
Classes are gentle, therapeutic based and there is always room for options, adaptations and you are always encouraged to move in ways that feel good to you. You know your body better than anyone!
What is the difference between Yoga and Barre classes?
Barre classes are a little more dynamic and upbeat than yoga classes. Whilst both classes have their unique benefits they do have different focus and approaches. Yoga can have physical and mental motives, such as achieving a clear mind and reducing stress, Barre is more focused on working out. Yoga places more emphasis on slowing down, balance and connection, while a Barre workout is more focused on strengthening muscles in ways similar to Ballet and Pilates and includes some cardio to get your energy moving.
Do I need to be really flexible?
Definitely not. Regular practice of Yoga, Barre or Dance can help to build strength, flexibility, balance as well as to relax, feel calm and find a sense of inner peace. You do not need any of these attributes to begin practicing classes.
I’m interested in Sensual Embodied Dance but I’ve never danced before. Can I still attend?
Absolutely, plenty of women attend never having danced before and it does not matter one bit. This is not an advanced dance class and you are not required to learn choreography. It is very different to your average ‘dance class’.
We follow a very unique and specific format that supports participants to ease their way in with fun and guided practices.
Is Sensual Embodied Dance (SED) right for me if I don’t feel very ‘sensual’?
To begin, a lot of people confuse the word ‘sensual’ with ‘sexual’, they are different! Sensual is essentially feeling our senses alive and awakened which can feel very empowering, rejuvenating, edgy, satisfying and joyful.
SED is not about feeling a particular way or turning up only if everything is perfectly aligned. SED is all about showing up in the messiness, chaos, bliss, fear, overwhelm, delight and moving whatever we are feeling, sensing and experiencing from moment to moment. It can be uplifting, enlightening and a great way to meet a community of women who are supportive and accepting. All women are welcome and celebrated in this space.
What should I wear?
Wear clothes you will be comfortable in so you can move easily – something with a bit of stretch, such as gym wear, singlets and t-shirts, leggings, shorts and track pants. We practice barefoot however you can bring socks along for comfort.
When do I need to arrive?
In person - Ideally you want to arrive 10 minutes early for your first class. After this, a few minutes early is fine. Jackie will be at the studio at least 15 minutes before every class.
Online – At least 5 minutes early so you can check all of your tech is working, you can see, and hear your device and your screen is also sharing a view of you (if you’d like too).
On Demand - When you're ready!
Do I need to bring anything?
Always check your email confirmation for any specific requests but generally the answer is… All props and equipment are provided for your comfort. BYO full water bottle and you may wish to bring a towel to place on the mat if you tend to get a bit sweaty. And I always recommend bringing layers so you don’t get too hot or cold.
Where are you located?
In person yoga classes are mostly held at Brunswick Valley Community Centre, South Beach Rd, Brunswick Heads (Opposite the surf club) however events will be noted on your email for confirmation. There is plenty of parking around but always check the signage.
Is there anything else I need to do to prepare for class?
– Try to avoid eating a heavy meal for at least 1 (or preferably 2) hour(s) before your class.
– When you arrive place your shoes at the door and switch your mobile off.
*Please advise the teacher of any injuries, medical conditions, if you are pregnant or menstruating.
What are the terms of class bookings and cancellations?
The Cancelation policy is noted in the description of each class, course or event. But 'generally' speaking unless otherwise noted you can reschedule weekly classes, special events require 24 hours notice to reschedule and courses require 3 days notice for a refund.

"Jackie, your passion for yoga and particularly this gentle and restorative style is infectious, and you have such a gift. I just felt people really need to know about the sensations, subtleties, awareness, release, trust, surrender, pleasure, self-satisfaction, pride, nurturing & love we all feel when we are in your classes. "

"Jackie's Yoga has evolved over the 8 years I have been attending her classes and courses. Her renewed space at Brunswick Heads is great. She is always supportive and up for contributions, adapts her classes to allow for injuries, age, lack of practice and new people. Her classes are paced well for different energy levels. Each class has a component of newness and inspiration and has kept me returning again and again. "
- Trish
"I’m loving Jackie’s way with yoga! Less is more comes to mind, with a focus on slowing down and listening to the subtleties. I enjoy and find this way more effective. It enables me to honour where my body is at, giving it what it needs by being more conscious during my practice. Though within this there is also rigour and Jackie is always aware of the care and comfort of her students in her well-chosen balanced variety of postures. So glad I have yoga in my life. "

"Jackie’s Sensual Embodiment course was a wonderful afternoon of freedom, play and opening up. The space was so safe and the guided exercises really helped me to shed my fears and resistances. Thank you Jackie I look forward to delving deeper!"
- Michelle
"I came to the course with an aggravated, spasming psoas and a history of anxiety and adrenal fatigue. The Series offered ways of soothing & nurturing my muscles and nervous system that were gentle but powerful. Jackie's passion for this work is evident and she creates a wonderful space for healing and learning. "
- Megan
"I recently did Jackie's foundation series and before I started my back was sore and my pelvis would go out of alignment. I found the foundation series to be very healing and by making the subtle changes suggested in this series my back is rarely sore, I feel more relaxed and present with in my body. I highly recommend Jackie and her classes!!"
- Cath
"I loved Jacqui’s relatability to the feminine. I felt safe under her guidance as she’s clearly a skilled movement practitioner of many modalities yet her delivery is fun and playful. You don’t realise you’re meeting your edge and challenging yourself because your playing and in your own world under her umbrella of gentle confidence. I came out of her sessions with my body feeling fully expressed but not overworked, my heart full of joy and accepted fully with cup brimming to spill onto the world. Her classes are pure blissful joy a gift for the self, highly recommend! "
