Yoga Under The Bodhi Tree
transform your life with yoga
Classes & Workshops
My classes are Trauma Informed. I teach a fusion of Hatha, Tantra, Yin and Nada Yoga with Sound Healing. A classical system using asanas for strength and purification, pranayama (yogic breathwork) and meditation.
Rebirthing Breathwork
Using a conscious connected breath, together we unravel those deep traumas, negative imprints and those subconscious messages that are driving the dysfunction in your life. Empowering your healing and transformation.
Self- Sabotage Coaching
Self-sabotaging happens when there’s a mismatch between what we want and our behaviour. I’ll help you identify your own saboteurs and offer you tools and insight on how to change for good and lead the life you deserve.
EFT and TRE
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping and TRE (Trauma Release Exercises), using neurogenic tremors are somatic (body based) therapies which allow the body to release the trauma at a cellular level.
About My Yoga
I teach a Yoga fusion class of Hatha, Tantra, Yin and Nada (Brain/ Sound) yoga on Tamborine Mountain and in Canungra in the stunning Gold Coast Hinterland of Queensland. I also teach live online classes via Zoom drawing in students Australia-wide. We laugh, we work hard and have so much fun in the process!
Class Details
My classes are a beautiful balance of flexibility, strength, core, pranayama (breath work) and meditation. They cater for absolute beginners to seasoned yogis. I also run residential yoga retreats where, over a weekend, we immerse ourselves in yoga, meditation, silence and ceremony. We’d love you to join us!
Testimonials
LIVE YOGA CLASSES
Margot’s classes are always exciting and always different. We are never bored. We have familiar bits like our warm up but she always offers us an extra challenge to our flexibility and strength. I love the CORE. I think my lower back is so much stronger because of it. Thank you Margot – Review of Live Yoga Classes – Linda [2023] – Jimboomba
Her classes are a lovely mix…. I love the variety. Always love the Tantra and the Sound Bowls, well I cant get enough of those! Margot you truly are a gift to me, I have learnt so much from you and your generosity and grace inspire me. Thank you – Review of Live Yoga Classes – Kylie DD [2024] – MT Tamborine
REBIRTHING BREATHWORK
I embarked on the re-birth breathwork course with Margot in Aug 24. I had “talked” enough (years of CBT therapy) and I knew that I needed to address some underlying trauma and feelings that were bubbling just under the surface.
The 10-week course with Margot was amazing! The gentle guided sessions where I could process in a safe place allowed me to unpack the subconscious preverbal patterns and traumas that I had not been able to reach via talk therapy.
It was challenging and confronting but the freedom and the grounding that I have gained to keep moving forward with healthy boundaries and the tools to allow growth into the future is amazing, simple and powerful.
Give Margot a call. Her experience, guidance, insight, research takes you on a journey that you may not expect but will leave you smiling and full of joy. I know I will be going back as layers shift and when I need an angel to look after me when I feel the need to travel inward through the next layers – Review of 10- week Rebirthing Breathwork – Kym Gilleard – 2024 MT Tamborine, QLD, Australia – ( see Breathwork page for more reviews))
LIFE COACHING
When I first met Margot, I was very reticent about communicating my true self and allowing myself the possibility of the spark of inspiration that was inside. Within the period of our coaching series, Margot was able to hold space in the most miraculous way for me, allowing me to be seen and heard and to express who I am, without judgement, but with cheering! The goals she helped me set have enabled me to step into who I am and wish to be. She has supported me wholeheartedly and expanded me.
She has a gentle, caring and graceful way of being, whilst also holding you to account. I felt fully supported in the space Margot created. The biggest change that has manifested for me, is who I have become over the space of 3 months. This has crystallised a new way of living, thinking and being. I can feel the change in me, and others have seen it to.
I am so grateful to have met Margot and I appreciate her so much – Review of Life Coaching – Jenny Summerville, 2023, Online, Small Business Owner and Life Coach (see Coaching page for more reviews)
YOGA RETREATS
I found the retreat glorious. It was full of support, care and good nourishment. This 2025 Retreat Theme – “Feel to Heal” has been particularly pertinent to me as I have had a medical diagnosis in the past 12 months. One of the symptoms of this diagnosis has been a fine tremor in my left hand. On the day after the retreat, I woke up and this tremor was gone! This, of course, didn’t last for more than a day or two, but OMG… it gives hope that yoga can be used, indeed, in order to … “Feel to Heal”. I have been a yoga practitioner (off and on) for more than 20 years and the 2025 retreat has been a profound experience for me. This will lead me into wanting to go further and explore the whole concept of “Feel to Heal”. Thanks Margot – Review of the 2025 Yoga Retreat – Feel to Heal – Sue deVries – MT Tamborine (see Retreat page for more reviews)
The Yoga Retreat was relaxing, nourishing, peaceful and uplifting. The variety of the yoga classes, the different breathwork, the EFT and the energy exercises were very interesting. There was so much thought and effort and time put into creating this lovely weekend. I know it takes a massive amount of work to create a beautiful, safe space for all of us to unwind into. Very much appreciated. Thank you Margot for this beautiful retreat and to Juliette the cook, for the delicious food – Review of the 2025 Yoga Retreat: Feel to Heal – Fiona Bentley – Beechmont/ Canungra (see Retreat page for more reviews)
My retreat experience was amazing, profound and beautiful. The Centre is a little piece of heaven and the food was awesome! The yoga and meditations were really excellent, especially the Boddichitta Workshop. I have shifted so much tired/ old/ stressed energy and am feeling very rested. I am inspired to begin a proper meditation practice in my life. Thank you Margot and Juliette (the cook), I would recommend your retreat to friends and family – Review of the 2024 Silent Yoga Meditation Retreat – Mark P – MT Tamborine (see the Retreat page for more reviews)
