# Event Details - **Event Name**: ALIGNED - Half Day Urban Yoga ReTreat - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 12:30 pm – Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: -= Living in rhythm with the seasons - Winter's inner sanctuary =- Retreat yourself into an afternoon of nourishing Yoga with Julia Jones The half day yoga retreats offer an afternoon of balancing, nourishing and purifying Yoga. Open to new and long-term yoga practitioners the retreat will allow you time to deepen and fully integrate all aspects of Yoga Asana (physical movement), Pranayama (energetic breath work), deep Relaxation and Meditation. This seasonal retreat series is a cyclical journey through the wisdom of nature and the subtle layers of yogic practice, inviting you to attune to the rhythms of the year and the intelligence within. Moving from the grace of letting go in autumn, into the restorative depths of winter’s inner sanctuary, through the awakening momentum of spring’s seeds of becoming, and culminating in summer’s full bloom, each retreat offers a distinct yet interconnected experience. Together they weave classical yoga philosophy, Asana, Yin, chakra awareness, and Patañjali’s Eight Limbs into embodied practices of movement, breath, stillness, and meditation. Rather than striving toward transformation, the series gently reveals it - supporting release, rest, renewal, and expression as natural processes that unfold when we listen deeply, practice seasonally, and align with the quiet intelligence of life itself. -= Details & Investment =- ✨ Arrive 12:30pm for 12:45pm start until 5pm. ✨ Afternoon tea provided - chai and snacks. ✨ Mats and props provided - please feel free to bring your own mat and anything else that gives you support and comfort. ✨ Please email julia@affinityyoga.com.au or phone Julia 0421 790 117 to register your spot or for any enquiries. -= About Julia Jones – Affinity Yoga =- Julia Jones is a Yoga Australia registered Senior level Yoga Teacher and Pilates Instructor. Beginning her yoga exploration in the early 90s for the physical and meditative aspects, Julia’s deep affinity formed through a Yoga Philosophy course that brought a true ‘aha’ moment. It was then she realised the extensive potential of this ancient and ageless system, growing her passion and desire to share the benefits. In 2006 Julia completed an Advanced Diploma of Yoga Teacher training and is honoured to be sharing the benefits in Melbourne gyms, studios, workplaces and online for ease of accessibility. Julia also facilitates annual Yoga retreats in Bali. Blending her passion for the scientific and the spiritual, philosophical, poetic and practical, Julia’s teaching incorporates language to deeply resonate with the individual.
