Beach and park classes, studios, retreats

Speakers, headset microphones and headphones for yoga classes and retreats.

A headset microphone and a battery speaker for outdoor classes, wireless headphones for silent sessions on busy beaches, and a small even system for retreat spaces. Hire by the class or the term, or buy the kit.

Beach classes

A sunrise class on Noosa Main Beach is the best thing on the Coast and the hardest thing to teach. The wind takes your voice, the back row can't hear the cue, the Bluetooth speaker distorts the music, and by the fourth class a week your throat has had enough.

A discreet headset microphone solves most of it: your normal speaking voice, carried cleanly to sixty people on the sand from a battery speaker placed upwind. No shouting, no leads, and the music comes from the same speaker at a level that sits under the voice rather than fighting it.

Who this is for

Beach and park yoga

Sunrise and sunset classes, mums-and-bubs, community sessions. A headset and a speaker that fit in a tote.

Bootcamps and outdoor fitness

Music with enough bass to move to, a headset that survives sweat, and a level that keeps the neighbours onside.

Silent classes

Wireless headphones on every participant. Private sound in a public place, no noise complaints, sunrise on a busy beach without a word leaving the group.

Retreats

A quiet, even system for the practice space, playback for meditation and sound baths, a mic for evening talks, a screen for a film. Hinterland and coastal venues.

Wellness events and festivals

A workshop tent, a main-stage flow session for two hundred, a panel, a sound healer who needs a very particular thing.

Studios

A small installed system with a headset and a phone-controlled playlist, done properly. See installations.

Retreats

A retreat space wants the opposite of a PA. Small speakers placed so the sound is even everywhere and loud nowhere, a facilitator's voice that carries without a microphone being visible, and playback for meditation and sound-bath sessions with no hiss, no clicks and no phone notifications.

We set up on arrival day, tune it to the room, show the facilitator the two buttons that matter, and collect after the last session. If there's an evening talk or a film, the mic and screen are already there.

Extras: a second speaker for a class of a hundred, a sub for bootcamps, festoon and uplighting for an evening session, an engineer for a main-stage flow at a festival, and purchase of the beach kit with set-up if you teach more than twice a week. Everything is quoted in writing first.

Where it goes

Noosa Main Beach, Sunshine Beach, Peregian, Coolum, Mooloolaba, Cotton Tree and Kings Beach for classes. Hinterland retreat venues at Montville, Maleny, Eumundi and Cooroy. Studios and parks anywhere in between. The beach kit is collected from Noosaville by arrangement; retreats and headphone sessions are delivered.

Teach more than twice a week?

Buying the kit usually pays for itself inside a term. We supply the same speaker and headset at dealer pricing, set it up and pair it, and stay on the phone when a battery needs replacing. See equipment sales.

Common questions

Will people at the back of a beach class hear me?

Yes. A headset into a battery speaker placed upwind carries a normal speaking voice to sixty on the sand, without shouting and without the wind taking it.

How do the silent headphones work?

Your voice and music go wirelessly to a headphone on every participant. Nobody else hears a thing, no noise complaints, and everyone sets their own volume.

Can I hire the kit regularly?

Yes. Weekly classes go on a term rate, and if you teach more than twice a week it's usually cheaper to buy it from us.

What do you do for a retreat?

A quiet, even system for the practice space, a headset for the facilitator, clean playback for meditation and sound baths, a mic for talks and a screen for a film. Set up on arrival day, collected after.

Does it survive sand and salt?

The beach kit is chosen for it: sealed speakers, moisture-resistant headsets, sand-tight cases, serviced between hires.
