Do you feel called to experience yoga beyond the drop-in class?
Would you like to study and practice yogaâbeyond just the physical postures (asanas) and breath techniques (pranayama)âas a comprehensive spiritual discipline?
If youâre ready for the next-level of inner commitmentâsupported by a teacher and community on the same pathâSadhana is for you.
SÄdhanÄ (from Sanskrit sÄdh, âto accomplishâ): Committed and disciplined practice and study for spiritual growth and self-realisation.
What's Included:
Monthly Half-Day Yoga & Meditation Retreats
January - November.
These 4-hour mornings are a turboboost for your personal practice, and a longer experience of silence, yoga and meditation techniques, and an opportunity to connect with your SÄdhanÄ community.
In-person (Currimundi, Sunshine Coast) or live stream on a Sat or Sun, once a month (dates announced soon). Also available via recording to retreat in your own time.
Quarterly Online Book Club
Deepen your understanding of yoga, meditation, and the inner journey through guided study of the Bhagavad Gita, The Science of Pranayama, Light on Yoga, and Mindfulness in Plain English.
Every three months, we gather online for a live video call to explore key teachings, share interpretations, and discuss how these texts relate to your own inner experiences on (and off) the mat.
Weekly Yoga Class
Stay connected to your practice rhythm by attending Erin's weekly Wed 9:30â10:45am class in person (WindanSea Currimundi, Sunshine Coast), or receiving the full audio recording each week to practise anytime from home.
These weekly touchpoints help you maintain momentum, rekindle motivation, and experience steady, embodied progress between the longer monthly immersions.
Yoga Video & Audio Library
A growing library of recorded yoga classes to support your home practice between our weekly sessions and monthly immersions.
Each video is released in sequence with our year-long journey through the Koshasâthe layers of the self.
Meditation Audio Library
Guided meditation audios to support a consistent home practiceâwhether used alongside your online asana and pranayama sessions or as stand-alone meditations.
Each practice is released to complement our journey through the Koshas.
Online Community
A warm, supportive community for Book Club gatherings, reflections & inspirations, and staying connected and accountable.
This is where the year-long journey stays alive between structured sessions.
"I have always felt like I was somehow doing it all wrong when it comes to yoga. Turns out I just needed to find Erin! She has this way of explaining things that brings so much clarity and makes mindfulness and yoga accessible even for those of us who are not bendy little pretzels."
Michelle
The Way:
1. Direct Experience
...of the practices and techniques.
Itâs one thing to read or hear a teachingâitâs another thing entirely to experience it.
Direct experience is the heart of yoga and meditation. When you consistently practice the techniques, the teachings become living truths within you.
Familiarising yourself with the nature of your mind, you bear witness to patterns, habitsâand your potential. This clarity ("clear-seeing") is wisdom.
2. Self-Study
âŚthrough ancient texts and modern transmissions that will illuminate your path.
Self-study (svÄdhyÄya) is the bridge between what you experience and what it means.
As you explore classical yoga and meditation textsâpaired with accessible contemporary teachingsâyou gain language, context, and guidance for your inner journey.
You begin to understand the layers of your being, the principles of practice, and the stages of unfolding that accompany sincere spiritual work and support long-term inner growth.
3. Community
âŚa supportive, like-hearted group walking the path with you.
While the journey is personal, itâs far easier when shared.
In community, your motivation grows, discipline strengthens, and compassion expands. You feel supported through both the challenges and the blissful realisations.
This community will help you continue to show up for the practice. Not for perfectionâinstead wholeheartedness.
The Form:
Throughout the year, we move systematically through the Koshasâthe five layers of our being described in the yoga tradition. Each Kosha offers a different doorway into understanding yourself, from the physical body to the breath and energy body, the mind, the wisdom body, and finally the deepest layer of peaceful and presence.
All contact points and online practices focus on a layer for approximately two months exploring each layer. This allows enough time for practice, reflection, and direct experience to unfold naturally, and a holistic understanding of how each layer contributes to a more integrated, awake and relaxed way of living.Â
"Erin is such a warm and compassionate teacher who instills so much wisdom into her classes and courses. She holds space for others to connect with themselves and to discover the depth and expansiveness of yoga. Grateful to Erin for her flexibility and willingness to support folks to move at their own pace. "

Hi, I'm Erin Lee     Â
Your Year-Long SÄdhanÄ Guide
- Founder & Lead Trainer, The Mindful Yoga School
- Author, The Little Book of Big Intentions
- Devoted Yoga & Meditation Student
As a yoga and meditation student of almost thirty years now, I know what it's like to ebb and flow with practicing.
While it's fine to accept inconsistency, it's very clear that when we devote ourselves more consistently to the practice and study of yoga and meditation, there is enormous benefit.
Over the years, Iâve seen again and again that when students are held within a supportive structureâtrue to the ancient teachings of these practicesâand are surrounded by others walking a similar path, their practice deepens in ways they couldnât access alone.
Discipline becomes devotion.
Curiosity becomes insight.
Effort transforms into ease.
This is why I created SÄdhanÄ: to offer a year of dedicated, embodied practice, consistent guidance, and a community that encourages you to keep showing up.Â
If youâre ready to explore your inner landscape with sincerity, steadiness, and support, Iâd be honoured to welcome youâand walk alongside you.
"Thank you Erin for assisting me to get back into practicing yoga daily to focus on me and the life I wish for."
