Looking for a beautiful space to run your offering in Dunedin?
Whether you’re planning a last-minute August booking or thinking ahead to September, we’ve got some availability.
Yoga Nidra (योग निद्रा) is a practice of guided deep relaxation that takes us gently to and from a journey in the state of consciousness between waking and sleeping or the hypnagogic state.
Guided by Jasmin of Soma Yoga, an experienced facilitator, into deep rest, with the gentle music & sounds of crystal bowls and other instruments to accompany our journey.
Yoga Nidra is deeply refreshing and relaxing, with no experience necessary.
You’re welcome to BYO or let us connect you with a local caterer.
We’re here to make it easy.
Message us to explore options.

Humans of AYU – Jack Synnott
Private Breathwork & Coaching | Insider Training
Jack is the kind of facilitator who brings real-life experience into deeply personal work. With a background as an outdoor educator leading 21-day wilderness expeditions, a hands-on career in carpentry, and years managing large-scale construction projects, he understands pressure and how vital it is to find space to breathe.
That’s what led him to breathwork.
What started as a way to manage stress evolved into a powerful personal practice. Now, through Insider Training, Jack offers private breathwork and coaching experiences that help people reconnect with themselves, find clarity, and move through life’s challenges with more ease.
When he’s not holding space for others, you’ll find him surfing, staying active, and always seeking new ways to connect - with nature, with people, and with purpose.
Jack often holds his private group sessions sessions at A Y U and we love having him as part of the A Y U family. You can find out more about the work he does on and connect with Jack on Instagram: .training

Join Tamara (Madhuri Yoga NZ) and Sharyn () for a sweet and deep half day of nurture and re-connection, exploring the possibilities for true home-coming - coming back to a place in our being where we feel nourished, relaxed, and ready for connection - with others and with our core.
Through the water replenishing practices of Qigong, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Abhyanga massage and a Hansa rest, be guided into a deep and peaceful state of "coming home" within yourself. These gentle practices of deep relaxation and inner connection cultivate a secure and nourished foundation that can carry you through the rest of winter ready for a springtime full of growth, creativity, and inspiration.
