In celebration of International Women’s Day, Studio Wellnesia hosted an intimate gathering titled Women’s Circle: Gentle Aromatic Yoga & Intuitive Drawing – Minutes of Return. The event was designed as a space for women to pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves through gentle movement and mindful creativity.
More than a yoga session, Minutes of Return became a moment to simply be present.
A Warm Beginning
Participants gradually arrived at the studio, exchanging smiles and introductions before the session began. Some explored the skin analysis and mini massage booths, while others sat quietly and enjoyed the calm atmosphere. As reflected during the event:
“Started with exchanging names and smiles, then we’re sitting quietly. Just be.”
Soft scents of lavender and rosemary filled the space, creating a calm and grounding atmosphere.
Gentle Aromatic Yoga
The experience began with gentle aromatic yoga guided by Detik, designed to be accessible even for beginners. The focus was not on complex poses but on breath, awareness, and slow movement. Participants were also invited to bring a sankalpa, or a positive affirmation, as a gentle reminder to care for themselves and stay fully present in the moment.
The session closed with a soothing savasana, accompanied by the sound of a singing bowl, allowing the body and mind to fully relax.
Mindful Intuitive Drawing
The next session introduced mindful intuitive drawing led by Intan, encouraging participants to draw freely without expectations.
“I didn’t know what to draw or how. Little did I know, it’s pretty cool,” said Chelsea, one of the participants.
Another participant, Lintang, summarized the experience in one word.
“Zen.”
The room slowly filled with sketches, circles, colors, and lines, along with quiet laughter and moments of concentration.
Participant Sita shared an interesting realization during the activity. After looking at her drawing for a while, she noticed that the entire piece was formed by curved lines.
Moments like this highlight that the purpose of the session was never the drawing itself, but the awareness that emerges during the process.
Reflection and Togetherness
Toward the end of the session, participants shared brief reflections about how they felt. Some spoke about feeling calmer, while others described a renewed sense of presence. In a space without pressure or judgment, everyone was simply allowed to be.
“No body left unnoticed…”
Participants left the studio carrying their drawings, curated goodies, and a small rose as a gentle closing gesture.
