about us

Founded by Wallis Murphy-Munn in 2016, Massoga® brings together restorative yoga, therapeutic touch, mindfulness and deep rest.

Our retreats are designed for people who spend much of their lives doing, organising and caring — and need somewhere they can finally stop.

Massoga® is a community of teachers and facilitators led by Wallis Murphy-Munn. We run luxury wellness retreats around Australia and in Europe, including yoga retreats in Australia in Victoria, Queensland and in Europe in Greece and Italy.

Wallis has continued to work with highly skilled practitioners, and the evolution of the practice is testament to the incredible body workers she has worked with over the years, and her dedication to deepening her understanding of the human condition.

You can attend private one on one Massoga® Treatments with Wallis in Melbourne in clinics in Elwood.

What is Massoga®?

Massoga® is not massage and it's not yoga. Massoga® combines restorative yoga with massage. An immersive experience with essential oils, binaural beats, yoga props, and intelligent sequencing, and is practiced fully clothed. Massoga® is designed to give you a deeper awareness of your body and mind through deep stretching, massage and mindfulness. This creates the perfect setting for deep release and relaxation. The experience is all encompassing.

"I was enveloped in a deep sense of gratitude for the class, the environment, the peace, the fact that this practice of Massoga® Massage Yoga exists at all. Thank you for giving us this gift."

What Makes a Massoga® Yoga Retreat Different?

A Massoga® yoga retreat isn't about doing more yoga. It's about creating enough space for your body and mind to finally slow downs so that you can get the rest you truly need.

Our retreats combine restorative and slow yoga, meditation, pranayama and breathwork, Qigong, meditation, nourishing Whole Foods, nature, movement, Massoga® massage yoga and genuine time to do very little. All of these activities support your nervous system in down regulating, to help bring you back to homeostasis.

Held in beautiful locations across Australia and Europe, each retreat is designed around one thing: deep rest.

You don't need to be experienced at yoga. You don't need to arrive calm. You simply need to arrive, and let us take care of the rest.

Wallis's strong healing hands, her calm and reassuring energy and her deep understanding of what our bodies and souls require meant that I floated out on cloud 9 after my treatment.

I cant recommend this highly enough. I loved it.

If you’re exhausted no matter how much “rest” you get… maybe you need a different kind of rest.

Because lying on the couch scrolling isn’t necessarily rest. Sleeping in on Sunday after running on empty all week isn’t necessarily rest either. Deep rest needs the right conditions.

And this is what we begin creating on Day Two of our Magnetic Island retreat.

You wake naturally into a day that has been deliberately designed to ask very little of you.

We move slowly. We meditate. We breathe. We practise pranayama. We eat beautiful, nourishing whole foods prepared for us. We have good conversations and lots of laughs. We practise Massoga®, qigong, slow yoga, yin yoga and spend plenty of time nature. And importantly, there is space between it all to simply be.

Our meals are structured around a generous brunch and an early dinner, rather than eating from morning until night. This creates a longer overnight fasting window and a rhythm around eating that many of us simply don’t have in normal life, which gives your digestive system a much needed rest.

Then, as evening comes, we wind down. Early nights. Similar bedtimes each evening. Less stimulation. And then we do it again tomorrow.

There’s something quite profound about giving the body several consecutive days of this.

Instead of asking an exhausted nervous system to somehow “relax” while everything around it remains the same, we change the conditions around it.

This is why a retreat can feel so different from taking a few days off work.

As one Magnetic Island guest described it, there were “bucketloads of rest” alongside nourishing food, daily yoga and meditation, swims, walks and Massoga®.

Another said it was “the most relaxed I have ever felt.”

That doesn’t happen because of one yoga class.

It happens because, for six days, we create an environment where your body no longer has to fight quite so hard for rest.

This is Day Two.

And this is where the unwinding really begins. 🌴

A powerful moment of self-discovery in Victoria's @loveshamanka forgiveness workshop. Realizing the true journey is forgiving yourself for past actions, letting go of guilt, and accepting you did the best you could at the time.

#SelfForgiveness #EmotionalHealing #Mindfulness #SelfAcceptance #Transformation

You know that feeling when you’ve done something really special for yourself. Something you’ve been dreaming of doing. Something you’re finally ready to experience.

That’s the feeling when you book a Massoga® Retreat!

Nurturing touch can do incredible things 🤍

💆🏻‍♀️It tells the nervous system, “you can soften now.” Slow, nurturing touch can reduce physiological arousal and support parasympathetic activity — the rest, digest and restore side of the nervous system. Breathing can slow, muscles release and the body can begin to move out of vigilance.

💆🏽‍♂️It can reduce stress and create a genuine sense of calm. Relaxation massage has been associated with reductions in anxiety and perceived stress, and some studies have found changes in stress-related measures such as cortisol. Importantly, you’re not doing relaxation — someone else is caring for you, allowing you to receive.

💆🏿‍♀️Touch reconnects you with your body. When life is busy, we can spend enormous amounts of time “in our heads.” Mindful, safe touch draws attention back to physical sensation and interoception — our awareness of what is happening inside the body. This can create a profound sense of being grounded and present.

💆🏽Being cared for can affect us emotionally, not just physically. Safe, consensual nurturing touch is associated with social bonding and feelings of safety and connection. For someone who spends much of their life caring for everyone else, the simple experience of being the one receiving care can be unexpectedly moving.

💆🏼‍♀️It creates the conditions for deep rest. This is what makes the touch component of Massoga® so powerful alongside restorative yoga. The body is supported, there is nothing to achieve, and nurturing touch provides another cue that it is safe to let go. Sometimes what emerges isn’t simply relaxation, but a feeling of coming home to yourself.

1:1 Massoga is available in Townsville now and starts again in Melbourne mid September.
