Sol Yoga Sanctuary is our home in Cairns — a dedicated space for yoga, sound, and community. Here we host weekly classes, sound journeys, and gatherings to restore and renew.
Our Purpose
Cultivating Calm, One Experience at a Time
We create sound journeys and yoga experiences to bring greater serenity and peace to our communities. Using the transformative power of sound with live guitar, crystal bowls, bamboo flutes and chimes, with mindful movement, and breath practices, we create spaces where individuals can reconnect with themselves, release stress, and experience profound relaxation. We believe that collective calm begins with personal harmony, and our sound journeys and yoga practices are designed to nurture that balance.
Next special event is Woodford Folk Festival!
We’re honoured to have been selected into the Woodford Folk Festival this year!
Experience flowing yoga inspired by the elements, paired with live sound immersion. Each session blends movement, breath and music — crystal bowls, guitar, Native American flutes, drums, didgeridoo and melodic looping — to create a dynamic, embodied practice in harmony with nature.
