• Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

Sorry, there are no refunds - so please double-check your commitments before you book.

• What if I feel unwell. Do I still come?

If you feel less than 70% of your usual self, the best thing you can do is stay home and rest. If you can, let Sal know so she knows you're not attending

• What do I need to bring?

Please bring a yoga mat (or let us know if you need one), your water bottle, a blanket and your favourite cushion or bolster to sit on. If you prefer not to sit on the floor, the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall has chairs.

• Where can I park?

Mt Hutt Memorial Hall has on-street parking - so pull up outside or park in Mt Hutt Memorial Hall car park (turn right after the Hall, then immediately right again).

• I have special dietary requirements. Will I be able to enjoy the sips and snacks?

All drinks and snacks are plant-based, nut-free, dairy-free and gluten-free. If you have any extra dietary requirements, simply let Sal know at least 36 hrs before the workshop begins.

• WHAT THE HECK IS LATE SUMMER?!!?

Great question!!!In Chinese medicine, the tail end of summer is recognised as a season in its own right - that ripe, abundant stretch before autumn really begins.The days are warm, the garden is full, but there’s a subtle sense of things beginning to turn.We use that seasonal shift as our starting point to explore nourishment, digestion, grounding and simple ways to feel more settled.

• What is acupressure?

Acupressure is like acupuncture - but without needles. It involves gentle to firm pressure on specific points of the body to help release tension, shift energy and support your natural balance.

• Do I need to take notes or bring a notebook?

No, not unless you want to!!! Sal gives you access to a digital take-home kit of resources at the end of workshop - full of notes, guides, videos and more...

→ A yoga block (or cushion)
→ A strap (or a belt works great!)
