Awaken with Yoga
& Sound Journeys
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 Practice
Nada Yoga: Sound, Breath and Movement
Solsonica creates immersive yoga and live music experiences grounded in the tradition of Nada Yoga — the yoga of sound and vibration.
Rather than treating sound as a passive healing modality, we work with live, responsive music and embodied movement to create experiences of deep listening, presence, and integration. Our sessions weave mindful yoga, breath awareness, and live musical performance using guitar with loops, bamboo and North American flutes, crystal singing bowls, chimes, and percussion.
Sound and movement are held as equal partners — supporting regulation, awareness, and connection through direct experience. Each offering is designed as a complete journey, inviting participants into an active relationship with sound, body, and breath.
At the heart of our work is the belief that collective wellbeing begins with self-attunement — learning to listen inwardly, move with intention, and respond to the moment with clarity.
February Yoga Sound Journey
The natural qualities of the heart are love and compassion.
In this month’s journey, we’ll gently ignite those qualities through expansive, breath-led movement designed to soften the ribs, shoulders and chest. As the front body opens, space is created not just physically, but internally.
Through a guided Buddhist meditation, we’ll reconnect with the simple truth that love is not something we need to seek outside of ourselves. It is already here — steady, independent and whole.
Live music will be woven throughout the entire session, holding you gently as you move and rest. Hypnotic handpan, gentle chant, guitar, gong, crystal singing bowls and ocean drum will layer and unfold into an extended sound journey, inviting deep integration and stillness.
This is an afternoon of softening, awakening and remembering – that beneath it all, we are love itself.
Location: The Yoga School, Piccones Shopping Centre, Manoora
