“How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.”
― Khalil Gibran

Today marks my 35th wedding anniversary to wonderful husband Tony.
How very fortunate I am to have found my life partner more than 40 years ago and to continue to enjoy each others company as we walk through this life alongside each other
I know just how rare this is, and don’t take it for granted!

Today I have been reflecting on the role that yoga has played in my life and relationship, not only with my husband, but with myself and all around me (others and in fact all sentient beings)

Yoga can enhance relationships by fostering mindfulness, improving communication, and reducing stress, allowing us to connect more deeply and empathetically.

How Yoga Strengthens Relationships 
* Increased Presence & Mindfulness: Yoga helps you stay grounded in the “now,” which fosters better communication
* Enhanced Emotional Regulation: By regulating the nervous system, yoga reduces reactivity, encouraging patience and empathy during conflicts rather than immediate, emotional reactions. Pressing PAUSE so that we can RESPOND rather than REACT is a big one!

Looking forward to seeing you on the mat soon,
with metta (lovingkindness)

💦🌿🌼I am feeling refreshed after some lovely rain this afternoon AND the garden is positively singing with happiness. 
🌼This week on the mat we’ll explore the various movements our shoulders are designed for, building strength and working towards our shoulders feeling more buttery, juicy and mobile

Continuing to show up, to unroll your mat, regardless of the season is a gift you give yourself each and every time.
It doesn’t matter if your practice is short, long, yin or yang!
It’s about consistency.
Showing up for yourself in small, steady ways.
Some days that might look like a full practice, other days it’s simply one mindful breath.
Yoga is a way of living with awareness, kindness, compassion and presence.

Make space for YOU to come home to yourself

Step on your mat

Much metta (lovingkindness)

Move into a new week with intention

What would you like to invite into your day, week, life?

Your mat is where you return to yourself, where you can land and fully immerse in the here and now

Make an appointment with yourself to step onto your mat and into strength, stillness and calm

Welcome back to YOGA GARAGE, our little tree top studio for 2026 🧘‍♀️

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
I have enjoyed connecting with family from intestate and recharged with relaxed days spent on the Yorke Peninsula, relishing some quiet time with my husband and our lovely doggos by the ocean, watching the sun rise and set and the wonder of nature all around us.
Quiet times are perfect for reflecting on the year that has just been and our intentions for the year ahead.

My 2026 intentions have been inspired by the teachings of my teacher Simi to learn more about ancient Toltec wisdom.
Ancient Toltec Wisdom teaches that freedom comes from awareness, suffering comes from unconscious belief, and mastery of life begins with mastery of attention, language and agreement.
Here are the four agreements, simply explained:
1. Be Impeccable with Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean, avoid gossip, and don’t use words to harm yourself or others. Your words shape your reality.
2. Don’t Take Anything Personally
What others say and do is a projection of their own beliefs and experiences. When you stop taking things personally, you avoid unnecessary suffering.
3. Don’t Make Assumptions
Assumptions lead to misunderstandings and conflict. Ask questions, communicate clearly, and don’t assume you know what others think or intend.
4. Always Do Your Best
Your “best” will change depending on circumstances (energy, health, mood). Doing your best—no more, no less—helps you avoid regret and self-judgment.

Key takeaway:
If you practice these agreements consistently, they can help reduce stress, improve relationships, and increase personal freedom.

Bobby and I have missed you all and we’re looking forward to getting back on the mat with you all tomorrow.

May 2026 be filled with endless opportunities and moments that sparkle with joy.
Om Shanti (Peace, peace, perfect peace)
