hello & namaste!

i'm Jess — Dunghutti Country's only level 2 Yoga teacher certified by both Yoga Australia & Yoga Alliance International, practicing since 2000 and teaching since 2016

thanks to my Mum, i've been reading astrology since i was 11 years old - long before i understood it as a practice, it was simply how i made sense of the world

my path has since been shaped by university-level psychology, decades of eastern & western philosophical study, Vipassanā in the Indian Himalaya, & initiation into Shambhavi Mahamudra by Sadhguru

Mandala Nights is where all of it meets - a multi-disciplinary, tailored approach to yoga, astrology, & ceremony, built on real study, not trend. what i offer isn't performance yoga. it's a nature-guided, intuition-led practice - small classes, real philosophy, & the kind of self-study (svādhyāya) that modern wellness often leaves out

bringing these sacred arts & sciences into people's lives has been one of the most profoundly transformational parts of this work - watching people mark real thresholds in their lives, held by ritual, changes something in them i still find hard to put into words

alongside my husband Deeps, whose Nepali cooking nourishes so many of our gatherings, we've built something that's less about the mat, & more about coming home to yourself

i’m deeply honoured to connect with you x
