The Sundalah Story

The Vision

Creating CommUNITY

When Jasmine returned to Townsville in 2006 with her husband and young family, she found it difficult to discover non-competitive, community-minded spaces that shared her passion for holistic health.  Jasmine also noticed many people were unfamiliar with the deeper benefits of practices like yoga, not only for physical health, but for mental-emotional and social wellbeing. 

To help change this, she reached out to local yoga teachers and holistic practitioners to create a wellness-based events where people could gather, share and discover new pathways to health, wisdom and inspiration.

The vision was simple – To bring locals together through meaningful connection and shared experiences that support kind, conscious and fulfilled living.

 

How did Sundalah get its’ Name?

Jasmine spent many months developing the name for this new Townsville commUNITY.

Sundalah was inspired by two symbolic ideas:

Mandala

~ representing wholeness, nature, connection, and the cycles of life;

Sun

~ symbolising uplifting light energy, heart strength, supporting others to shine, and the North Queensland sun!

Sundalah

is the name Jasmine created to represent and embody authentic connection, shared wisdom and commUNITY wellbeing.

Nature reminds us that wholeness is many parts moving together in harmony.
