Gallery: Kora Pilates x Broadsheet Access Wellness Day

Broadsheet Access brings the best in wellness to our members with one-off active events and recovery days, previews of soon-to-open studios, discounts on activewear and more.

Recently, Access members got to hang out at Coburg’s newest wellness space for Grounded: A Kora Pilates Experience – an afternoon event all about reconnecting mind and body and maximising inner calm.  

Guests were made to feel welcome by founder Subriah Fonseka – and her endless supply of soothing herbal tea – before exploring the bold architecturally designed space from Kennedy Nolan. Then it was time to hit the reformer machines for Kora’s signature Reset class led by instructor Savini Ediriweera – an opportunity to turn the lights down low and concentrate on breathwork alongside slow-burn mindful movement.

Live soundscapes (and singing bowls) were provided by James and Will from Nada Soma, who specialise in bespoke music journeys to support wellness practice. 

Post-workout, guests refreshed with cans of Dear San coconut water and nourishing bites from neighbourhood fave Gemini Bar (conveniently located just a few doors down). Then it was time to learn ayurvedic self-care rituals from Poornima Fernando, founder of Phos Rituals. Fernando took members through how to administer facial cupping for lymphatic drainage and hair-oil head massage for nervous system regulation – before gifting attendees with free tools and products so they could continue the soothing routines at home.

Thoroughly grounded and calmed, guests finished off the day with a complimentary tote bag stuffed with gorgeous goodies from Mocha Mamta incense papers, Ukoo skincare and L’Orient body treatments.  

Members who attended describe a friendly, inclusive and super-relaxing experience – they were also excited to learn new self-care skills, and be transported by Nada Soma’s soulful sounds.
