About Happy Mountain

THIS IS THE TIME…

For Honouring your Self

For Connection

For Transformation

…it is our privilege to be on this journey with you.

Celebrating 24 years

Happy Mountain’s story started 24 years ago after founder Geraldine felt a strong desire to extend her experience in the fitness industry and embrace holistic health and happiness. Training in the Les Mills Bodybalance program and Vipassana Meditation awakened Geraldine’s idea of a yoga-based class choreographed to music, incorporating meditation techniques.

Classes have evolved into what they are now and will keep developing. WE are all evolving and forever changing and learning (hopefully!).

This time of uncertainty and change allows us the opportunity to check in and reset our lives, our relationship with ourselves and our world.  With all the challenges, there is still so much to celebrate, and a new level of appreciation for even the simplest things.

We are so blessed to live in this part of the world, and we should honour that. 

Our lovely room (sometimes referred to as “womb” or “cave”) in Wollongar has become a special space where we come together as a community to find stillness, to nurture ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually.

Geraldine has been instructing classes and managing the Happy Mountain Yoga Studio for 24 years.  Over the years she has remained passionate about bringing the community together, be it through yoga, concerts, Sound Healing, dancing, movies, meditation, or guest speakers, for wellness of the whole Self.

She believes that as humans, there is a longing to experience a deeper truth about ourselves, and everything, on some level, and we all want to be happy.

Meditation, music, and creativity play a big part in her life. Her intention is to keep on learning, while continuing to provide a place where people have the opportunity to keep learning also, and having fun.
