Grounded Motion

Grounded Motion Hi I'm Morgan, let me introduce myself. I have been practicing yoga for almost 15 years and in 2022 I finally took the leap to become a qualified yoga teacher.

🧘🏼‍♀️Empowering Women to build strength, mobility and balance through community, connection & the power of movement I am a mum to two beautiful boys, a Registered Nurse specialising in Oncology and a yoga teacher who is passionate about women’s health and movement. My partner and I packed up the car, loaded our 10 month old baby boy and headed off for an amazing adventure that was my 6 week immersive yoga teacher training at Krishna Village in the Northern Rivers region of NSW. I have since had another beautiful boy and started Grounded Motion. I started Grounded Motion because I believe that with the right input our bodies, minds and spirits can thrive. I provide a space that allows you to arrive as you are in the moment, in whichever season of life you are in and promote thoughtful and reflective yoga to grow physical and mental well-being. My aim is to enrich lives through community, connection and the power of movement. I love bringing movement, mindfulness and grounding to women to help support them in whichever life season they are in. I hope to see you on the mat soon! Morgan. x

Joy doesn’t always arrive in big, obvious ways.

More often it’s small.

A moment outside
A conversation
A bit of quiet in the day
A moment of observation

The other day I was watching my children play with a friend, so completely engrossed in each other’s company, taking joy from it. Their joy and being able to hear their little laughter float out of the room towards me was one of these small moments, so easy to let pass by without realising.

These things are easy to move past.

Take a moment now to allow these small moments of joy to land, to be felt, experienced and not just moved on from.

If you’ve been thinking about going on a retreat but don’t know where to start, this is a good place.

It’s easy to get caught up in what looks good online, and what’s trending on Instagram.
But the most important thing is finding something that actually supports you and what you need right now.

Rest, movement, space, connection…
it can look different for everyone.

One thing I often hear is
“I’ve thought about a retreat, but it would have to be somewhere like Bali…”

And while those places are beautiful, we also have some incredible locations here in Australia that offer that same feeling of stepping away, slowing down, and being somewhere different.

Without the added layers of big travel, long flights, and extra logistics.

When you’re choosing a retreat, it’s less about what looks impressive, and more about what will genuinely support you.

If you’re exploring options and want to talk it through, I’m always happy to have a chat and help you figure out whether my retreat feels like the right fit for you or not.

So what exactly are we doing for the next 4 weeks?

We’re heading to Western Australia to ride the Munda Biddi Trail as a family, from Mundaring to Albany.

Just over 1000km (around 1060km) of trail, winding through forest, farmland and some pretty remote parts of WA.

We’re aiming to ride it over about 3 weeks, with the flexibility to take rest days and shorter days along the way. Our longest planned day is around 80km, but we’ll see how that unfolds.

We’ll be camping the whole way, carrying what we need and restocking in the little towns we pass through.

And yes, the boys are coming too.

Their bikes are coming with us, and they’ll be riding parts of it, with a bit of help. It feels like a pretty special time to let them start to learn what they’re capable of.

It won’t be fast.
It won’t be perfect.

But that’s not really the point.

This trip is about slowing down, connecting as a family, stepping away from the usual day to day, and doing something that feels both big and unknown.

The fun kind and the hard kind.

We’ll be sharing the journey over at if you’d like to follow along.

Life has a way of filling up without us noticing it.

A few extra things to think about.
A few more commitments.
A little less space than there used to be.

Reflecting on this prompt can be a simple way to see it. 

Not to fix it.
Just to recognise it and to sit with it.

We’re often quick to notice what’s not working.

What feels hard. What feels off. What needs to change.

But there’s also always something that’s working.
Something that feels steady.
Something that feels good.

This is your invitation to start journaling, to start reflecting, contemplating and connecting.

Journaling doesn’t have to just be the heavy things.
It gets to be reflections about life as a whole.

I’ve been slowly getting ready for our trip, and one of the things on my list is to go and buy some new journals for the boys and I.

It’s something we already do most nights, just taking a moment to reflect on the best part of the day and something that felt a bit hard or challenging.

It’s simple, but it creates space.

So I thought I’d start sharing some journal prompts here as well.

Twice a week, just as an invitation.

You can take them or leave them, come back to them later, or not at all.

Just a small opportunity to pause, reflect, process, and get a bit of clarity around what’s going on for you.

And a quick note, the video cuts off because my dad started drilling in the background and you couldn’t hear anything, so I had to cut that part out.

If journaling is new to you, having prompts can be a really helpful place to start.

So I’ll be sharing them on Wednesdays and Sundays, starting tomorrow, while we’re away, and maybe even beyond.

Would love to know, do you already journal? Or do you have another way you like to reflect or process things?

As women, something we’re often not used to is receiving.

So much of life asks us to give
to organise
to think ahead

and quite often, we don’t get the same opportunity to just receive

For someone else to hold space
to take care of things
to do the planning and the thinking

Meals prepared for you
being guided to move your body
being somewhere you don’t have to make decisions all the time

It can feel unfamiliar
even uncomfortable

I know for me, it has at times

But I also know how important it is
to be open to receiving
to let someone else hold the space for a while

Because when you’re always the one holding it all together,
it catches up with you

This retreat is, in many ways, an opportunity to practise that

To let things be taken care of
to not rush
to not feel the need to fill every moment

To receive rest
space
time

It sounds simple
but it’s a big shift

and it makes all the difference

On Sunday I had the absolute pleasure of travelling down to Pambula to guide a Slow Sunday practice at

For two hours we slowed things right down together. Beginning with breath, moving through Yin, settling into restorative postures, and letting the sound of the bowls carry people into deeper rest.

What always stays with me in these kinds of practices is the moment when the room begins to shift. You can feel it happen. Breath deepens. Bodies soften. The nervous system starts to let go of the constant background tension many of us carry without even realising.

The practice gently explored that relationship between tension and softening. Where the body needs support and strength, and where it has simply been holding on for too long.

It was a really beautiful space to hold that kind of practice. The room, the atmosphere, and the people who showed up ready to slow down and give themselves that time.

Thank you to everyone who came and shared the space with me. It was truly a privilege to guide.

There are already discussions about this becoming a seasonal event, which would be very special.

Tim and the boys are away for the weekend.

In theory, this is “time for me”.

And tomorrow I’m heading down to Pambula to run a workshop, which I’m really looking forward to.

But today I’m still at home.

And when you’re at home, the list is still there.

The washing that needs folding.
School bags that need unpacking.
Beds that need remaking.
Floors that need vacuuming.

All the small domestic things that sit on that overshadowing to-do list.

None of it disappears just because the house is a little quieter.

This isn’t a complaint about my family. It’s simply the reality of being the person who holds a lot of the threads of daily life together. When you’re in the environment where life happens, it’s very hard to fully switch off from it.

Which is exactly why stepping away matters.

When you go on retreat, you step out of the environment that holds all those responsibilities.

There’s no laundry waiting.
No cooking.
No cleaning.
No dishes after dinner.

You arrive.
You move your body.
You eat beautiful food.
You spend time in nature.
You connect with yourself and other women.

For a few days, the overshadowing to-do list disappears.

And that space makes a huge difference.

Rhythms of Nature Retreat is that space.

A genuine pause from the everyday so you can properly look after yourself.

When was the last time you had time that was truly yours?

It’s often something we don’t realise we’re doing.

We treat our time and our self care as flexible. As optional.

We keep showing up for friends, for family, for work, for all the other commitments that fill our days. And in the chaos and the busyness of it all, we forget to show up for ourselves.

It’s not like one big moment where everything falls apart.

It’s a slow accumulation.

Little bits of time that don’t get protected. Little moments of connection to ourselves that fall to the side.

And that has the capacity to slowly pull us further away from who we are underneath the roles and responsibilities.

Time given specifically to connection, movement, embodiment, and being with other women is not indulgent. It expands our capacity. It strengthens us for everything else life asks of us.

So if you’ve had a moment where you’ve thought, hang on… when was the last time I did something purely to take care of myself?

I’d love you to join me for Rhythms of Nature.

It’s a space with no expectations for you to be anyone but yourself.

And just like that… welcome to March.

Here are all the ways you can move with me this month.

We’ve got four weeks left of weekly classes before a four week seasonal break. In April, the family and I are heading off to bikepack from Perth to Albany, which will be wild, exciting, and our biggest family adventure yet.

If you’ve been meaning to come to class, this is your little nudge.

Join me for this month’s Rest Deeply session in Aranda on Friday 27th, your monthly 90 minutes of fully supported rest. A steady, considered space for you to put everything down for a while.

I’m also heading down to Pambula to host my Balance and Play Workshop, along with a two hour Slow Sunday session at . I’m really looking forward to bringing both offerings to that community.

I’d love to see you on the mat, or on the SoleMate, this month.
