Meet Aaron & Paige

Hey there, we are the Co-Founders of Om Som Yoga & Ayurveda.

We are so excited to invite you to our retreat ‘Svastha’ based in Bali, Indonesia.

Svastha, simply put means our ability to be firmly grounded in our true sense of self.

It is also translated as a vibrant state of health, implying that when we are truly grounded and established in our most authentic self, then we are propelled towards health.

Svastha is an opportunity for YOU to find that unique state of balance and health.

We will explore the four pillars of health; Ahar (food choices and rituals), Vihar (lifestyle choices and rituals), Nidra (sleep choices and rituals) and Brahmacharaya (energy management practices); so that you can remember your Svastha.

Accomodation

In order to come back to YOUR TRUE NATURE, you must connect with nature.

That is why we have chosen to offer this retreat at a natural, eco resort.

Connect with nature on a daily basis with beautiful rainforest views, sounds of wildlife and immersions in natural spring waterfalls.

The resort is nestled amongst rice paddies and permaculture gardens where 75% of the food that we will consume will come from. A true sustainable haven.

Each bungalow is an uniquely crafter open-air space that will connect you directly to nature. The bungalows, restaurant & yoga shala are built to allow natural air flow; there are no air conditioners on site.

A SNEAK PEAK INTO WHAT WILL BE COVERED…

We record podcasts as often as we can and on these two episodes (available on spotify, apple podcasts, google podcasts, etc.), we chat directly about our Asana Sadhana Dharma training. We explore an introduction of what is included in the course and why this knowledge is so fundamental and crucial for all Yoga practitioners and teachers to understand.

teaching team

Aaron Petty

Hi, I’m Aaron Petty, the head teacher & co-founder of Om Som Yoga & Ayurveda.

I have accumulated over 1000 hours training across multiple fields of study and am registered with Yoga alliance at E-RYT500 & YACEP Levels.

My mission is to create a heart centred & well informed community of authentic Yoga practitioners/teachers in Melbourne; providing this community with an accessible, adaptable practice that meets their current circumstances & moves them toward their most authentic, healthful, resilient & vibrant self.

Throughout my life, Movement, Breath & Meditation have been a catalyst for change. Dedicated & consistent Yoga practice took me from an uninspired, depressed, anxious, overweight & injured tradesman to a happy, thriving, purpose driven business owner & lover of life.

I have been Meditating for 12 years now, and truely dedicated myself to the path of Yoga 6 years ago.
There’s been a huge amount of time spent studying with many of the worlds most influential & knowledgeable Yoga teachers. This includes study in modern movement, breathwork & meditation practice, functional anatomy, myofascial release, yin & restorative yoga, vedic counseling, vedanta, ayurveda, traditional hatha yoga, tantra & meditation.

Basically, I’ve put in the time to deeply understand the many possible approaches to Yoga, so that I can determine which practices actually work & share them with my community in the most accessible & relatable way possible.

Our modern lives are filled with so much stimulation, stress & discontent - its time we bring back true nourishment, purpose & human connection.

Paige Taylah

Hey, my name is Paige, and I am the studio manager and co-founder of Om Som Yoga & Ayurveda.

I first completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2017, when I was a sweet 19 year old looking for her life purpose. I never expected to be teaching or sharing Yoga, I just wanted to deepen my practice & immerse.

A few years later I met Aaron, our relationship was founded on Yogic philosophy and practice and we never looked back. I dedicated my time to teaching and sharing Yoga at the then, Level Up Yoga studio in Berwick and poured so much love and effort into improving the logistics, efficiency and consistency of the business. In 2021 we rebranded and re-opened our humble studio space as Om Som Yoga & Ayurveda.

I am responsible for extracting the creative ideas and deep Vedic wisdom out of Aaron’s mind and onto paper; compiling it in all the right boxes to meet Yoga Alliance requirements.

Within the trainings we offer, I take on the role of space holder. Whilst I share every now and then, my main purpose is making sure everyone (including Aaron), is well fed, hydrated and emotionally available. If you train with us, know that I will always be there to hold your hand, keep you grounded and present no matter what you experience.

Over the last few years I have expanded my knowledge in so many fields of the Vedic tradition, with Ayurveda catching my eye. I accumulated over 200 extra hours of Yoga study, along with 1200 hours of in-depth knowledge and practice of Ayurveda.

I share Ayurveda with reverence and deep passion. It is my lifestyle and in that way I share my embodied experience, allowing you to make small and sustainable changes that empower your life.

 
 

what is svastha?

‘Sva’ speaks of self, but not self as we know it to mean, but our most authentic and deepest expression of self. ‘Stha’ means to be firmly grounded, rooted or established in.

Svastha, simply put means our ability to be firmly grounded in our true sense of self.

It is also translated as a vibrant state of health, implying that when we are truly grounded and established in our most authentic self, then we are propelled towards health.

Svastha is an opportunity for YOU to find that unique state of balance and health.

We will explore the four pillars of health;

  • Ahar (food choices and rituals),

  • Vihar (lifestyle choices and rituals)

  • Nidra (sleep choices and rituals)

  • Brahmacharaya (energy management practices);

    alongside daily practice of Yoga, Pranayama & Meditation, so that you can remember your Svastha.

Are you ready to retreat, reset & reconnect?

 

we hope you will join us
