Hi Yogis!

It may come as a surprise to you that yoga teachers aren't 100% happy, calm and harmonious all the time ... we're human too! How does practicing and teaching yoga makes a difference in our lives? We become more aware of the fluctuations of our thinking and emotions, and we have several helpful tools we can use to pull ourselves out of a downward spiral 🌀

In recent sessions, I've discussed how helpful a pause is in this process, and recently the shared this great 3 min video about the benefit of a pause ~ https://www.heartmath.org/resources/videos/wisdom-of-pause/

There was a little nugget of wisdom in this that really spoke to me: instead of trying to move from overwhelm & stress all the way over to calm and happy, just shift a little into neutral, reach for a feeling of ease.

If you've ever tried to go from one end of the emotional spectrum straight to the other you will also feel the freedom in this!

Society teaches us to "try hard", "do our best", to go all in or don't bother at all. I disagree! My philosophy is to do what you can rather than push yourself into something that may be too big of an ask for you in that moment.

So, this week let's use our yoga practice to pause and choose: if you feel you can reach for calm and joy great! If that's a bit of a stretch (pun intended) shift into neutral where you can still access ease and freedom of body and mind 😊 I look forward to sharing in this most helpful shift with you!

We were talking in last week's meditation circle about what is probably the biggest myth about meditation .... that meditation is having no thoughts. Meditation is not the absence of thought, it is the process of training the mind to "sit and stay" ie. give the mind one thing to focus on, notice when it wanders, and guide it back to the point of focus.

I don't believe there is any such thing as a 'bad' meditation. Coming to your mat to meditate is going to yield several benefits regardless of what unfolds in your practice. My experience is that the most important thing is the unplugging: pausing the doing which gives you an opportunity to observe yourself, and to do this very important work with the mind.

Sooner or later, you do reach a state where the mind offers less thoughts (or none at all for a period) and is more calm, more still. But don't be discouraged when that doesn't happen! You will still emerge from your meditation with improved focus, a more relaxed body and mind, greater self awareness, and overall improved wellbeing. I am knowing this in my own life, and the research supports it too!

This is your invitation to practice yoga and meditation with a small group of lovely neighbours. Come and unplug for a while, you will emerge feeling a whole lot better! 😊

Happy

Feeling grateful to have escaped major damage from last night’s storm, I’ve been reading that not everyone in our community has been so lucky.

Checking in with our yogis this morning, how are you all doing? 🙏💜

Happy Sunday Yogis!

There is a source of grounding, creativity, and strength within us physically located in the centre of the body.

Our sense of grounding and creativity originate in the lower abdomen. Our confidence, sense of purpose and intuitive 'gut instincts' reside in the upper abdomen. By connecting physically with these areas, and waking them up with yogic practices, we open ourselves to receiving the benefits of these energies in daily life.

We're talking about the deep core muscles. Physically they provide stability to the spine, and include abdominal muscles, gluts, the shoulder girdle, quads, and more!

This week's practice intends to invigorate our core, helping you feel a more harmonious flow of energy through these areas. I look forward to sharing it with you 😊

Our final Sunday retreat for 2025 was nourishing and restful on all levels, made even more special with guest appearance from Michelle from and her gongs our beautiful co-faciltator Dani from Craig’s yummy cooking .... and of course a visit from Saffron 😊🤎🐾 Welcoming, connection, healing, perspective changing, relaxing, spacious, from the heart are just a few of the words our retreatees used to describe their experience of the day. Thank you to the beautiful women who gave themselves to the process may you be blessed with equanimity throughout the remainder of 2025 and beyond ☺️🙏💖

So many people say to me "I can't meditate ... my mind just won't go quiet!" I get it, there are days where my meditation is like this also 🤯

As life comes at us, and our energies ebb and flow, it's only natural that our meditation practice will also vary. But the one thing I know after practicing for many years is that each time we pause to meditate, there is a positive benefit, and these gifts are cumulative. So one meditation session is helpful, one per week will initiate significant positive changes in your life ... and the more often you meditate you will find that your mind will enter the meditation more easily, rather than running rampant like a naughty puppy.

Over recent weeks, in our Wednesday evening meditation circle, I've been sharing some "hacks" to assist with reaching a more mindful state. Feedback from our meditators has been that they're super helpful, so this evening I'll share another way to help tame the mind when it's busy.

This is your invitation to practice yoga and meditation with a small group of lovely neighbours. Come as you are and enjoy a mid-week pause with us!

Happy Sunday Yogis!

We breathe approximately 22 thousand times per day! and we never need to worry about where our next breath will come from, we just know and trust that it will come, and with it we receive oxygen & prana (life force energy).

Each breath is a new moment, a re-birth of sorts. Most of the day we're breathing unconsciously, however every time we breathe, we have an opportunity for mindfulness and with that we can choose how we move forward.

This week's practice is an opportunity to move the body, breathe with awareness, and freshen the outlook. I look forward to sharing it with you 😊

This is a full circle moment for me 😊

Sunday marks 2 years since our first retreat at

Previously when I worked in corporate/government roles, this time of the year was always a struggle! December holidays were my light at the end of a long, hard tunnel 😬

My Facebook memories are peppered with posts of struggles and stresses, e.g. 'TGIF!' .... 'can’t wait for the holidays' ... and the one that always makes me laugh when the guy at the bottle shop gave me a nod and a wink as I left with a bottle of vodka and a bunch of flowers - he knew exactly what type of a week I'd had!

These days, I use much healthier stress management strategies, and the flowers I'm buying are for you 💐

Our one day Retreats are something I was guided to do. Every part of creating the day is a joy and an honour. The feedback from retreatees is consistently positive 😇

In the lead up to these retreats, I feel your yearning: for something to look forward to, a day to give back to yourself after all you give and do for others. An opportunity to refresh, rest, and re-enter daily responsibilities with more clarity and ease.

This is a pivotal time of year to take some self care. A brief reset before the busy end of year. An opportunity for a big exhale so that you’re ready to fully inhale life again.

If this calls to you please reach out ASAP! The group is kept small and intimate, and at the time of posting we only have a handful of spaces still available. No yoga or meditation experience is required, the retreat caters to a range of abilities.

I'd so love to share the magic with you! 🥰✨💖🙏
