I have had another post go down the blackhole. Here I go again.
The next restorative yoga class is on 21st August 2pm - 4.30pm at Forestdale. The class is a gift you give yourself or a gift for somebody else. The cost is $25. Contact me on 0415 649 046 if you would like to book a place or if you have any questions.
I have renamed my business, The new name is Grace Yoga. I am looking forward to operating under the new name and invite you to join me on the journey to practice yoga with the attitude of grace.

Hi everyone, The lockdown is lifted so all yoga classes recommence. Greenbank is not on this evening as it is the Ekka holiday for Logan City. Please remember to social distance, wear a mask, wash your hands/sanitize regularly and use your QR Code to check into any buildings. Home is truly where the heart is. I have been beautifying my home over the last few weeks and I move things around when the mood strikes (which is often). I have pulled treasures out of my cupboards and I am using them in my decoration of my home. I have been inspired by a couple of women on you tube and as with anything I read or watch, I adapt it to my own taste or truth. I have done another cull of my books as I don't think I will ever read all of them in this lifetime or the next and also tastes change as I grow and really get to know and love who I am.
At present I am reading two books:-
The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz. I have read a lot of his books and I get a lot out of them.
Invisible Acts of Power by Carline Myss. I have also read a few of her books.
Both of these authors also do talks on you tube if you are interested.
I have had to get a new ABN No. and as I am now a sole trader so I am throwing around the idea in my mind to also get a new business name. I haven't yet looked up if it available but thinking GRACE YOGA. What do you think or any other ideas would be great.
I have made a list of things I still have to do and with the help of my wonderful daughter we are slowly working through that list. I find if I try to do too much at once I feel overwhelmed and that drags my energy down dramatically and then I become very teary. I am learning my triggers and with that awareness I can deal with the day to day issues as well those that are going to take longer to deal with.
I hope to see you at yoga soon and know that you have all been in my thoughts. Stay safe and well.

Hi all. Another week begins and I am feeling more settled. First of all, I am doing a restorative yoga class at Forestdale on the 26th of June commencing at 2pm and finishing at 4.30pm. Yes that is 2 1/2 hours of yoga. The secret is that it is nourishing to your soul and you hold each pose for at least 15 minutes and you are well supported with bolsters and props as needed as well as finding your most comfortable position in each pose. Please let me know if you are interested or if you want to know more about these classes.
All my classes have resumed. Contact me on 0415 649 046 for further info.
I want to thank everyone who has sent me love and support and thank you for the flowers and care packages. Life is slowly taking on a new normal. Erik will always remain in my heart and I will always be thankful for his encouragement for my yoga journey and ultimately doing what fills my soul everyday. there is still lots to do but I am not rushing, I am allowing myself to feel into what needs to be done and to the emotions that each step brings up.
I would also send my love and thanks to our kids who have been truly amazing. Their dad would be very proud of them. This includes their partners and children.
I have a lot of beautiful yogis off and travelling, enjoying our country. Have fun and stay safe and I will see you when you get back. for everyone else I will see you on the mat at the regular class times. Love to all.

Hi everyone. The family bereavement was the love of my life Erik. He passed away on Sunday morning after a short illness. I am doing okay. I have our daughter staying with me for a short while (I think she is keeping an eye on me as well as needing to be here). Erik was cremated on Wednesday and was ushered out in true style with a super moon, a blood moon and an eclipse. Thank you to everyone for your love and support. I feel truly blessed to have so many beautiful people in my life.
I feel Erik with me at all times. You never know what to expect or how you will feel. We had 44 years together and remained strong through all situations. Classes start back next Monday. I am so looking forward to them as you all give so much in the classes and you are all part of the yoga tribe.
Please don't feel sad for me. Continue to send me and my family love and peace.
for all those people on holidays or going on holidays (you know who you are) have fun and stay safe and I will s
catch up with you when you return and for everyone else I hope I will see you very soon.
Namaste, Alison.

Yoga classes are filling so please contact me and let me know as early as possible if you are unable to attend a class so that I can slot someone else in if needed. I hope you are enjoying our breath course at the beginning of each class. I am so proud to be your yoga teacher as we take this incredible journey together, to be best we can be.
I now have my new car - Adeline. She is a delight to drive and I am so blessed. It took 3 1/2 months to get delivery but it is worth it. I blessed my i20 as I traded her in and left her at the car yard. She had been a great car and we travelled many k's together just the two of us.
Just a reminder that there are several spaces left in the restorative class this Saturday at Forestdale. It is a 2 1/2 hour class for $25. It is about relaxing and going within for this time. I will have eye cushions for sale for $8 each and includes 2 outer covers - great for blocking out the light and relaxing around the eye area.
Have a great day.

Welcome back to all previous yogis and all new yogis. I f you are doing classes with me I hope you are enjoying them. I am including the February newsletter in this post as I am reducing my footprint by reducing my paper usage and using technology instead. This is a big step for me as I am realizing that as long as I don't make a mistake and blow up the earth all is good. Have a great day.

it is nearly the end of 2020 and I can honestly say it hasn't been a bad year. actually it has been pretty good. I have learned so much about myself, a bit of quiet time is always good. I wish to thank all the yogis that came back to classes once we got the green light. The Live Well Logan Program through Logan City Council is continuing to support for several of the classes (Jimboomba and Greenbank) and Richard for his continuing support by providing a venue for my Forestdale classes. I will be returning to Chambers Pines Village when I start back in the New Year. I look forward to catching up with all of you who return to yoga classes starting the 11th of January 2021. Remember if you use glasses to read, please bring them to the first class.
I wish everyone joy and peace in 2021. Relax into life and remember that you don't have to hold on so tight. The more you relax into life the more life relaxes into you. Stay safe, have fun and we will catch up in the very near future.

Well this is Christmas. I wish you all a Joyous Christmas and that you are able to be with your loved ones virtually or in person. Thank you to all of my yogis for your support during this year. You all have a special place in my heart. All classes start back the week of the 11th of January, 2021. I am developing a program based around the breath. It will be beneficial to us all. So excited to share this with you all.
I have been shifting energy at home out of necessity and have had to do some more paring down (that never hurts). I am now using only one of the spare bedrooms as my office, craft supplies (minimalized), yoga equipment and many books. Hubby has got a job after deciding that our mobility aid business wasn't cutting it financially for us. He will be based at home so needs a space as well, so it is all ready and I actually love my new smaller space, it is cosy and no that is not another word miniscule. We have had a blue tongue in the yard in the last week until yesterday when my 2kg Jemma the dog decided to take it on. I don't think either won but lizard must have found a new home or is laying low for a little while. It was looking in the back door for a while and I haven't seen it since. I feel that I am fairly relaxed now. It takes a while to chill.
Have a great Christmas and before we know it we will be back into the yoga. Love you all heaps.🧘‍♀️🥰

Hi ho, I have been very productive this morning and have wash all the tiled floors. The developing across the way has finished, so I have a reprieve until they start building houses but I imagine it won't be as bad (no huge earth moving equipment). Curb side clean up is done - first day today and it is gone.
I have signed my contract for Live Well Logan for the first half of next year and as I look into my crystal ball I can see a holiday in the near future. I will have a newsletter coming out shortly with all closing and restart dates as well as for those keen yogis how to access my yogabytes closed page.
All the restorative classes are now completed and I know that many of the participants found great benefit from the 2 1/2 hour of bliss and stillness. I thank you all for your participation and will restart them around the middle of February. I have now sold all the bolsters that I ordered but will look at doing another order in the New Year. The cost will be around the $56 mark.
Just to add a finishing touch to a day of cleaning, the gutters have just been swept. Ha Ha.
I hope everyone is keeping well and preparing for a safe and happy Christmas. New homes, new family members, new friends. There is sooooo much to be thankful for.
