Where Mindfulness Yoga Neuroscience + Dance
Combine to free your Mind !
Not everyone’s minds are cut out to learn Mindfulness & Meditation in a traditional ‘sitting still’ style.
Evidence also shows that when we are relaxed we can learn better and it sinks in easier. It also shows that music, creative movement and understanding how our brain & nervous system work – helps us to better manage excessive thoughts & feelings.
If you love taking care of your health in creative and innovative ways, if you love Music, Yoga, Dance and learning new tools to help you or those you work with feel and move better – this is for you.
There are two options (shown below) – one for Certification to become a Creative Mindfulness Teacher the other is for those who want to soak up good music, discussion, learning – moving and grooving.
Experience a unique & Innovative way to Practice Learn &/or Teach Creative Mindfulness to develop a
CLEAR MIND-FULL HEART

Meet your Lead Facilitator & Guest Presenters
This is AFRΩDITΣ, the enchanting DJ of Love & Beautiful Vibes, bringing a divine fusion of cultures, genres, and fun to the dance floor. Hailing from vibrant Melbourne, Gold Coast based AFRΩDITΣ (also known as Anne Afrodite O’Hoy) is enriched by her mystical Greek & Egyptian heritage.
Her artistic roots trace back to the world of dance, where she began as a trained belly dancer gracing street parades, warehouse parties and festival stages. As a deep-trance state and ecstatic dance facilitator, AFRΩDITΣ discovered the transformative and healing power of music and naturally transitioned into the realm of DJing. Her sets are a celebration of diverse sounds from around the globe, taking you on a joyride into her eclectic taste and multicultural influences.
Steering a magical mystery caravan of genre-fused exploration, AFRΩDITΣ crafts flavours of worldly allure, fun, sexiness, cheekiness, and heart-opening beats. A musical panorama that’s funky, sassy, surprising, and undeniably groovy – testament to AFRΩDITΣ’s passion for delivering heart-happy tunes that etch themselves into your memories and put a smile on your bass-face. Join her on the dance floor, where Love and Beautiful Vibes converge.
“Witnessing Annes Joy & Passion spill out from behind the decks onto the Dance Floor during her set on our YOGA NRG RETREAT was without a doubt one of the highlights. Ann has a talent for live intuitive creations that spark the spirit & invoke child like joy”
Meet Tammy Williams: Founder of Yoga NRG & Mindfulness Teacher Training Programs
I am passionate about weaving together my loves into a mindful life.
From a young age, I enjoyed creating different ways of moving with all different styles of music. This training combines pleasurable passions to re-ignite our creative spark. Growing up in a small remote town without access to these arts of dance, DJ or Yoga schools, I learned to create my own opportunities. It created community connection and supported mental health. Thankfully, I now collaborate with amazing people—otherwise, you’d be stuck with my backyard-style improv country girl rap or my eclectic dance moves! Any chance to bring these elements into yoga sessions, retreats, or training over the last twenty years keeps me smiling.
As a registered nurse in relapse prevention and a qualified clinical trauma therapist, I understand that trauma isn’t just about horrific events; it can also stem from internal struggles that go unaddressed. I’ve seen the need for varied approaches to create a safe, connected internal environment.
No matter what has caused us to feel stuck or lost, mindfulness through yoga, dance, and even surfing can help us reconnect with our true selves. Ultimately, these practices remind us of our innate joy and love. It’s our birthright to enjoy the life we have got and live it with our whole heart.
Creative Mindfulness is a practice that invites thinking outside of the box, fostering a sense of spontaneity and playfulness and tuning into what is already there inside.
