We had a fascinating day with Mary Girishaa (in green) for our first Nurture & Nourish Retreat. We learned about the importance of rest, self care and attuning to nature's rhythms. We ate home cooked simple food that had been loving prepared by Mary, delicious chai, and for those that know Mary's sesame sweeties, we had those too! The ancient science of Ayurveda has so much to teach us about nourishing our bodies, and I definitely felt nourished by both the food, the conversation & the great information we received about the 10 habits for happiness.
Thankyou everyone for coming, and we look forward to doing it all again in St Helen's next week. Sangita 🌻🌻🌻

The most wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon playing kirtan with these folk. No doubt about it, kirtan improves the mental atmosphere as you can probably see! So much fun we loved it!

What if I told you your lifestyle could be your medicine, and the key to your ongoing health and vitality? In my healing journey these past 13 years, I've learnt a lot about what it takes to be really well - body, mind & soul. And I continue to learn.
If you would like to shake up or kickstart your own journey to better health, come and join Mary Girishaa and I at either the Hobart or St Helens NURTURE & NOURISH workshops which are coming up very soon. All the details are on the website, click the link in the comments below. We'd love to share with you some key principles of lifestyle medicine.
Two places remaining in the Hobart workshop. Still plenty of space at St Helens. BOOK NOW!

Yoga is not just what we do in class. Yoga is awareness. So whatever you do today - driving, cooking, walking - and you are doing it with awareness (and not distraction) you are practising yoga.

Have you ever driven your car across town and wondered how you got there?

Just a reminder to bring your mindful attention with you as you go through your day. Stay connected! 🍂🔆

Yoga is not only about poses… it’s about how we live. 🧘‍♀️
Discover the 5 Yamas of Yoga for a peaceful and balanced life.

The Yamas of Yoga are the first ethical guidelines of yoga. They teach us how to live with kindness, honesty, and self-control.
Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (self-control), and Aparigraha (non-possessiveness) help create harmony in our mind and daily life.
Practicing these principles on and off the mat brings true balance and inner peace. 💖🙏

And just like that, Teddy stepped into Autumn! On our travels between Hobart and St Helens we usually stop by the river at Campbeltown for a break. And this week, suddenly, enter Autumn 🍂🍂🍂

For us the autumn equinox but same same 🍂🍂🍂

As the Spring Equinox is right around the corner, I invite you to slow down today and listen in to the changing of the seasons. So often we are moving too fast in our lives to truly note the changes taking place in the world around us, or the changes that have taken place internally as we come to new realizations and wisdom. This is an invitation in the coming weeks to listen to what life has to tell you, and to notice the little changes that occur as we move from the inwardness over winter and into the thawing and blooming of spring. 🌷

Welcome to Mountain Mindfulness

Yoga & mindfulness are tools that help to get us out of our heads, and back into our hearts and bodies. They allow us to drop the constant ‘doing’ and take some time to simply ‘be’. Mindfulness research shows that we have around 60,000 thoughts a day, and that 90% of them we also had yesterday and the day before! Understanding the nature of the mind, and learning techniques to manage it, helps us live a more happy and balanced life.

Music: Coming together to sing, chant, or move with the peace dances, creates a positive vibration on every level - physical, mental and emotional. Melodic repetition and musical patterns are calming for the mind. Being in a group creates community and connection. Learning something new creates new neural pathways in the brain and is so good for your mental health.

About Melissa Howden (Sangita): Melissa’s background is in education as a music teacher working in schools in both Tasmania & London. Following a major sea change triggered by a health crisis in 2013, she found herself living in a yoga ashram in NSW and studying at the Gawler Cancer Foundation in Victoria. During this time Melissa came to understand the enormous part the mind plays in healing and in determining the quality of one’s whole life. This is why she now loves to share the path of yoga and mindfulness, as well as music, as ways to enhance both physical and mental wellbeing and to create a more personally meaningful life.
