Last Christmas, Pam, one of our gorgeous Thursday morning Wannanup yoga ladies gifted me this huge rose plant 🌹 & it sits proudly at the centre of our courtyard for all to admire ❤️

….. not only does it’s blooms make me smile - today I got to gift a beautiful bunch of these roses to lovely Danielle at the end of one of our sessions…. (It’s her favourite colour after all 😌) ….And It absolutely made her day 🥰

Thank you Pam for brightening our little courtyard ❤️

Happy nearly Friday everyone ###xx

Too funny …. Too sweet …. Too lovely not to share We did want to video our reactions just for the retreat gals - but for some reason it won’t upload to our group chat, so I’m sharing it here Plus I just love watching Kirstie and I together 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

Saying goodbye to this girl gets harder and harder….. 😢

….. because even with the great distance between us - we seem to almost be able to read each others thoughts

….. because even though we only see each other twice a year - we can register the slightest change in each others body language - the tiniest lift of an eyebrow ….. the most subtle of wry smiles ….. the change in the rhythm of our steps

….. because we laugh at the same things, we value the same things, we are both a little crazy & often frazzled - but try very hard to stay calm

And

….. because we create ✨ magic ✨ together

I know the Nov ‘25 retreat girls are manifesting something else 😉….. so I’m going to concentrate my energies on a direct flight from Noosa to Mandurah😎- because seeing you twice a year is not nearly enough, and more people need to be able to experience our retreats….. they just do ❤️

Kirstie I love you so much, and I thank you for loving me, working with me, caring for me and for all you teach me.

I know the retreat girls want you to come back soon, and so do I 🙏❤️🙏

It is not just about the yoga
…… but it IS about the safe feeling it creates,
….. it is the space that we can then hold for each other
….. it is the unique people we were able to gather together

And Oh…. My…….. W . O . R . D
Did we gather some of the most kind hearted….. hilariously funny and oh so very wise women from all walks of life - from far and wide

And the best part?

❤️Watching the quiet camaraderie form between them

❤️Hearing the shared stories

❤️Seeing the grief shift and release

❤️witnessing their love, care and consideration for each other

Kirstie and I are beaming with joy…. Good Lord it was glorious and we just loved every single moment…. The planned experiences, AND the precious interactions inbetween 🥰….. we feel so very grateful to have had 3 days away with you all

We are itching to read the feedback…. So will do that with a cheese platter and some wine in hand this evening.

Thank you to the Modern Day Yogi’s Nov 2025 group….. & to the Nov 2024 group & the May 2025 group ….. Ladies we have started something amazing ✨⭐️🌟💫

If you would like to experience all this deliciousness we are holding a day retreat in January right here in Mandurah

A bit of woowoo to round up the week that was balancing our Ajna “we ground to calm and open our mind”

Fridays class - there were a few quiet tears between poses….. you see the beautiful Michelle 🕊️ kept popping into my mind, whenever I looked up, her smiling face came into my mind.

Then after class I received a text….. it seems Michelle was visiting another student too. Her face coming into view ❤️

THEN….. as the last student walked into the courtyard to have a cuppa….. I see a Peacock feather in the collar of her jumper….
. a PEACOCK feather! Michelle’s Peacock! 🦚

….. we looked at each other, hugged, shed a tear and we simultaneously said “Michelle’s here”

As we hugged - the front gate flew open and Daisy (who is never out the front after class) - let out two loud barks ….

“Michelle IS here” we giggled between tears ❤️🥰

Later on my walk with Daisy (feeling a little in awe and ‘chatting to Michelle 🕊️… I find this beautiful Clear Quartz Crystal

One of the benefits of Clear Quartz????? Associated with the crown chakra and is believed to help raise spiritual receptiveness, improve intuition, and create a connection to universal wisdom.

I mean…… cmon 🤯

Maybe when the mind is still we are open to the awe around us …..

This week we have focussed on ways to quieten the mind….. using the yoga philosophy “blood flows where attention goes” - we drew our attention towards the base of our body with gentle leg, ankle and foot stretches.

It worked incredibly well
….. many many fell asleep
….. many texted me the next morning saying they had the best nights sleep
And in one class - the power went off and half the class didn’t even realise 😂😴

So in light of sharing ways I quieten my mind - here is a simple (somewhat embarrassing) idea that works for me

In 2015 as a certain someone was running for president. I found myself getting angry at people that defended his actions, his motives, and the abhorrent way he treated people

I started gathering ‘evidence’ of his unethical behaviour…. In the hope that one day when I was in the presence of someone talking him up, I could give them a mouthful 😂

I never had to thankfully….. but just being able to put things into this folder made me feel better….
So much better.

I don’t seek out this info…. But when I see it I just put it into the folder and don’t look at it again

America is a bit of a bin fire and I’m not taking any of it on…. And my mind is so much more at ease because of it.

Look this may help someone….. you may think it’s dumb 😉😂, but it sure works for me

The other two folders provide my flow state ❤️

Happy nearly Friday everyone ❤️ - thanks for another beautiful week of connection, community and calm. If you would like a copy of this weeks class send me a message

we are often in our yoga leggings - and to be fair… we do not often look this glam 😂

But guys…. this is our new Deputy Mayor of Mandurah! And I feel an unreasonable amount of happiness and momma-bear pride in Jess 😉🥰

….. because in a world where many forms of leadership are entrenched in greed, hate and malchauvinism …. way too many examples of leadership that is void of ethics, values and basic humanity - Recently here in Mandurah…. people have been elected into positions of leadership that are kind AND strong, smart and grounded…. with a focus on promoting and connecting community ❤️

… and I could not be prouder
… I could not be happier 🥰

It feels like ever so slowly the world is recalibrating and balancing. Once again there is a focus on what is truely important… and in doing so - pushing down the hate, divisiveness and greed.

Jess Smith Mayor Amber Kearns & Lisa Munday MLA - have all at one time or another supported my yoga classes, my writing, projects and events …… and I have been humbled in the care and concern they have shown Dan and I throughout my recent health scare…..❤️

With Dan and these three as role models…. I honestly feel like I am surrounded by some of the best forms of leadership and the best examples of humanity ….. and I know Mandurah’s village heart is going to THRIVE 🥰

Congrats Jess - eeeek ❤️

Want something to make you smile?

Consider for a moment the numbers 400….. and 230

Almost 400kg - (final tally was 389.5kg) of rubbish picked up along the local waterways at Luca’s Legacy yesterday

&

230 volunteers gave up their Sunday morning to come together & join in the fight to help keep our environment pristine and healthy


….. the positive impact you have on our community, our environment and our innocent wildlife is immeasurable, & my heart is so full just thinking of the ripple effects to all your hard work

To all the volunteers…. I am in awe, & so grateful for all you do ❤️

💛
❤️…. Thanks for leading our communities by example

For 3 years I was an Environmental Educator at St Francis of the Fields PS and I LOVED my job! I was always racking my brains trying to find weird and wonderful ways to inspire our students to look after their local environment….. to show them that they had the power to make positive change in every little action.

In moving back to WA I was unsure how to pursue this passion ….. and then I heard of the tireless work of the volunteers from ….. and they have helped my dream become a reality 🥰

With their incredible help, I have been able to write a book. A book that will be used to hopefully inspire children to look after their local environment and in turn take care of our beautiful dolphins 💙

A book filled with information about our 90 Indo Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins and the 30 + coastal dolphins that visit the Peel - Harvey Estuary waterways….. yes the local dolphins that bring us so much joy 💙

The book contains
🐬 info about the dolphin’s behaviours
🐬 info about how to identify our local dolphins by their unique fins
🐬the story of Solo, Christmas and Luca
🐬Info about dolphin strandings and entanglements
….. and most importantly
🐬 How we can help care for our dolphins, and how to report sick and injured dolphins

Tomorrow Sunday the 26th is Luca’s Legacy…. And we would love it if you could spare an hour or two tomorrow morning to help us clean up our local waterways…. to celebrate the life of Luca & come together as a community to show our collective passion and enthusiasm for our local environment

AND …… each family will receive their very own copy of this book as well as being able to take part in this heart-warming community event.

On Friday’s this is why I rush off after the 6am yoga class

I sometimes get changed in the car 😂, I have breakfast in the car & as exhausted as I often am after teaching all week …. I drive just over an hour to the Edith Cowan University Bunbury campus

You see today, these students had the option to stay home, have a much needed sleep in… a break from all their assignments, pracs, tutorials and exam prep.

But no…. They wanted to come in. They wanted to do a bit of ‘study’ 😉… they wanted a class party 🥰

So today…. we chatted, we laughed, we ate, we swapped recipes (one guy made foccacia!!!), they sought advice for next year & we prepped a bit for the exam…

Once again I was reminded how truely awesome country kids are, how lucky I am to be able to be their lecturer…. And how cool that THIS is my day job ❤️

In a world where sometimes we are fed a future that looks a little bleak & hopeless….. these guys are a shining light, and I’m reminded of all that is good in the world - because this is the next generation of teachers ❤️

….. AND as I walked to my car, I stood around with a bunch of uni students and we ‘ooooed’ and ‘ahhhhed’ at these beautiful kangaroos that just casually wander throughout our campus ❤️ - just amazing
