About inessence yoga
Inessence Yoga is a nature-aligned yoga practice based in Coogee, led by founder and instructor Kathy Arbuckle. Rather than a conventional studio model, it blends seaside flows by the ocean with restorative studio sessions, weaving meditation, sound and somatic movement into a practice designed to help students feel grounded and connected.
Classes range from ocean-side Seaside Flow sessions, famously held at McIver's Ladies Baths, to Slow Flow & Sound and Yin & Sound classes at wellness studios in nearby Bronte and Bondi. Practitioners describe Kathy as a teacher who holds space authentically, offering soft guidance, optional adjustments and a peaceful presence that leaves students feeling calmer and more connected to themselves and to nature.
For those who love finishing a morning practice with a swim in the ocean, the Coogee sessions offer something special. Inessence suits yogis of all levels seeking a gentle, reflective and nature-immersed experience, as well as those wanting deeper one-on-one Soul Sessions combining yin, reiki and sound, or a Soulfood retreat. It is a calming alternative to high-intensity studio yoga.
