Happy wedding anniversary my darling Mick ! Today we celebrate thirteen years of marriage of choosing each other! Even of we are not in the same country!

Fun facts we danced our wedding dance to “Do what you wanna do be what you wanna be!” We had an Indian inspired wedding at my request! Traditional dress and blessing at Helensburg Temple.

Thank you my darling for honoring this vow we made together! I love u x


Masters and collectors :
It’s because I love you
Not because we’re far apart
It’s because I love you
And because you’re near my heart
It’s because I miss you
Oh, how long it seems to be
It’s because I miss you
Thoughts of you come back to me
Ooh
Do what you wanna do
Be what you wanna be, yeah
Ooh
Do what you wanna do
Be what you wanna be, yeah
Ooh
Do what you wanna do
Be what you wanna be, yeah
Ooh
Do what you wanna do
Be what you wanna be, yeah
Once we walked together
From the field up to the hill
Promised love forever
I remember that day still
It’s because I love you
I’ll come home to you one day
It’s because I love you
In my thoughts you’ll always stay

What changes the mind... without saying a word?

You know the power of breath. But in our rush to teach flow, shape, and strength, one thing often gets sidelined: prāṇāyāma.
As the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā says:
“If the breath is unsteady, so is the mind. But when the breath steady, the mind becomes calm.”

Prāṇāyāma isn’t just a technique. It’s the bridge between the body and mind and often, the missing piece in a yoga teacher’s toolkit.

What would shift in your teaching if your students truly understood their breath?

Join me for a practical and immersive prāṇāyāma weekend in Perth — a chance to deepen your understanding of breath as the bridge between body, mind, and spirit.

🗓 22–23 November 2025
🕙 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
📍 Samādhi Yoga Shala, Lesmurdie – Perth
💰 Early bird: $330 (limited places)

The Way of the Goddess begins today. Two years of dreaming, planning, and weaving with these incredible women.

This morning I’ve been chanting, howling my heart open, calling her name, asking for a few extra hugs from my women. This work runs deep. I never take it for granted.

It’s a true privilege, one that does not go unnoticed. Here, in this jungle paradise, we tune into Śakti.
We arrive with open hearts. We welcome our guests home. See you on the other side.

Jai Mā.
