Hello to you!
We have 2 weeks together in the studio for 2025.
We’re OPEN up to and including the 20th December, providing plenty of opportunities to step on your mat on the lead up to Xmas and to step back from busyness and find an inner calm.

On reflection of the year that’s been, I’m incredibly grateful to be living a life filled with love, adventure, furry friends, nature and beauty, to do what I love everyday and in the process spend time with people who inspire & motivate me to be the best I can.
To everyone that helped make this year so memorable, thank you. Without you, my life wouldn’t be the same.

When we are challenged by life’s events, it is easy to forget about the blessings life offers. 
Taking time to reflect on what we are grateful for is the remembering that will bring balance to our heart and soul 🌻

What have you been grateful for this year?

My intention as we move towards 2026 is to continue to seek little quiet each day, savour each moment, to be curious, explore new movements and practices, to laugh, love and learn every day….

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

May you be safe, may you be well, may you be loved and may the year ahead bring you Joy, Love, Health and Happiness!
om shanti, shanti, shanti (peace, peace, perfect peace)

“The world exists as you perceive it.
It is not what you see...but how you see it..
It is not what you hear...but how you hear it.
It is not what you feel..but how you feel it.”
RUMI

Ever had those days that just feel as though you are wrapped up in chaos?
A growing list of jobs undone, house adorned with baby and dog toys.
Admin tasks, once again pushed to the back of the list….

to be honest, some days I feel frustrated and frazzled (yes, I too have those days)

Looking things from a different perspective, I have prioritised precious time with our grandson, laughed and played with Bobby and Lily (our loyal and loving hounds), had the privilege of helping my mum set up her new kitchen and am so grateful to have work that keeps me busy and supports me...

Yes! Thankyou RUMI, the world definitely exists as you perceive it
See you on the mat, with metta 🧘‍♀️Karen 💕

G R O U N D E D
To be grounded is to feel stable, strong, and well-balanced, in body and in mind.

Each yoga practice is an invitation to connect to earth, creating a firm foundation from which we can then begin to expand, find buoyancy and joy.

When planning classes today I have been thinking about my dearest parents who are in the midst of moving home after 24 years on their beautiful property “Linga Longa”

Moving home can be a very unsettling and busy time - exciting too!!

Together this week we will explore breath and movement to help ground you, and bring you back into present moment awareness so that you can meet any challenge with ease

Creating a more stable and even foundation on the mat, taking this stability with us as we move off the mat and into daily life

See you on the mat, with metta 🧘‍♀️Karen 💕

🧘‍♀️Yoga Nidra is the sublime science of complete relaxation

I’ve never really had too much trouble getting to sleep. Usually by the time my head hits the pillow at night, I’m asleep within minutes

Do I get enough quality sleep?

Considering I get up at 5am most days, this depends very much on when I go to bed! I aim for 9:30pm, but that doesn’t always happen…….
Enter Yoga Nidra

This practice has been a big support for me over many years.
Not only when I haven’t had 7- 8 hours sleep, but in times of increased stress, when I’ve felt a bit run down, actually even when I’m feeling fabulous - as to maintain optimum wellbeing.

What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is a state in which the body and mind are completely relaxed, with an effortless conscious awareness.
It is said that the history of Yoga Nidra is as old as Yoga itself

🧘‍♀️ This week on the mat both YIN & YANG classes will include a combination of nourishing & grounding postures finishing with a guided Yoga Nidra, creating the conditions for body, mind and beyond to enter the state of unsurpassed calm

Step on your mat, I’ll meet you there x Karen x 🧘‍♀️ 🌸🌿

I’ve just returned from 3 delightful days on the Yorke Peninsula, during which beach walking was my movement choice (along with more sedentary practices, such as reading and playing board games)

MOVEMENT practices come in so many shapes and forms and it’s so important to shift gears and move in different ways in order to challenge, strengthen, adapt and regenerate muscles and tissues PLUS the benefits to our brain!

This is one of the reasons our practices together at YOGA GARAGE are so varied.
Yin, Yang, Flow, MFR and lots of fascia based movement classes!

Yoga means u n i o n
to yoke or unite

Through yoga practice we integrate body, mind and emotions to bring about a state of balance
Yoga teaches us to do what we can without forceful action (regardless of how we are practicing, non force is a non negotiable)
In this way we can shape every practice to suit our individual needs

This week on the mat together we’ll get back to basics….

* Simple Breathwork
* Classic Asanas
* Yoga Nidra

Step on your mat, I’ll meet you there x Karen x 🧘‍♀️ 🌸🌿

💫COMFORT & EASE💫
Yoga practice supports digestion with ease in a number of ways
* By stimulating organs through gentle movements and twists, increasing blood flow
* By reducing stress which can interfere with digestion
* Poses that involve compression, stretching, and twisting can help move food through the digestive tract, relieve gas, bloating, and constipation
* By calming the nervous system we activate the “rest and digest” response.
Step on your mat this week, bring warmth and a willingness to be held by silence.
I’ll see you there

🧘‍♀️ 🌸🌿 with joy, Karen x 🧘‍♀️ 🌸🌿
