Joy may not always come easy but it is a feeling that can be cultivated when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. Don’t seek it, express it ✨

What a month this was! Challenging in many ways but truly beautiful and empowering.

When I signed up for my 200 hour YTT back in 2017 I walked in thinking I knew a thing or two about yoga. Little did I know, the offerings of this ancient practice reach far further than its physicality. Yoga is a science. And modern science is now showing everything that yoga has talked about for thousands of years to be true, healthy, and impactful. Everything from the pranayama, bandhas, mantras, meditation, philosophy, etc blew my mind and gave me a deeper and more embodied understanding of what yoga really is and offers.

I knew immediately upon completing this training that I was going to return and do my 300 hour training. It did not disappoint. It has elevated my personal practice and given me tools and techniques that will last a lifetime.

There is so much I would love to share from this experience - maybe even a few of my light bulb moments.

To anyone on the fence about doing a YTT - do it! It will be an invaluable education to your practice and life. And no, you don't need to teach. In fact, more than half of the people who do this training do it for themselves. In addition, you'll meet some of the most beautiful like-minded people from around the globe that will only be a text away.

You might have to be a little crazy to be my friend but you don’t have to be crazy to do yoga. I’ll happily be your guide✨

If you’ve met me in person you know I love a good chat, and light up when we talk all things yoga, health, and food.

I offer private yoga sessions that are held in the comfort of your own home where we can begin your journey nice and slow, working on alignment, the breath and mindfulness. And if you’re more experienced we go even deeper.

I also teach at two incredible yoga studios in Adelaide 🌟

Sunday 3pm PRENATAL (starting July 31)
Sunday 4:30pm YIN/YANG
Monday 9:30am VINYASA

Ayurveda and Yoga are sister sciences. When woven together these pathways can provide wonderful benefits to our health and well-being.

Winter is days away and in Ayurveda, this season is ruled by the Kapha dosha - combination of water and earth. It is the time when our environment holds the coldest, heaviest, and wettest qualities of the year. It can make us feel slower, heavier, achy and more congested. The primary site of the Kapha dosha is the stomach so we want to keep this part of the body warm and lively. Have you noticed that you are waking up hungry?

During this time of the year create a few small daily self care habits. This will look different for everyone but some could include going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, starting your morning with warm lemon water and a hearty breakfast, moving and creating heat in the body, tongue scraping and/or warm sesame oil massages. Consistent daily habits can have a huge impact and keep you strong and robust this winter season.

If you enjoy breathing exercises Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati and Bhastrika are warming and clearing Kapha-balancing techniques.

And if you’re open to practicing with me I’ll be guiding students this Sunday and Monday with a heating practice - hello Utkatasana 🔥

If you've been around for a while you might remember back in August 2019 I released SOMARI | Soma Yoga with Rachael Islam. Just as I began to build this little business of mine locking things in for 2020 a worldwide pandemic made things go sideways. (for all businesses) We then expanded our family and I have been in the depths of motherhood since.

SOMARI is back and here to support you and your health in more ways than one. There's something for everyone from a one-time experience, a seasonal transformation to an ongoing evolution.

My current offerings ✨
• Private yoga
• Prenatal yoga
• Couples yoga
• Group yoga
• Special Occasions
• Health coaching

Home is where I'm still needed most so I'll be mindfully taking on a limited number of clients.

Thank you so much for staying and supporting my evolution 💫

Life is wonderful and there is so much to be grateful for but damn life has been profoundly fast paced these last few months. There truly hasn't been a slow day. This short meditation has helped me on numerous occasions to calm my nervous system, to find a moment to reset and redirect my focus and energy. The visualisaton of my hand turning down the noise, distractions and fear and turning up the frequency, awareness and love like dials is powerful.

Save this meditation when you need a moment to reset and take a few deep breaths.

The time has come to step back on the mat & once again guide, breathe, move and meditate in a space with you ✨

Offering just one sweet YIN/YANG practice on a yummy Sunday afternoon 4:30-5:30pm

We’ll begin with YANG :: a more masculine, dynamic and warming energy to heat the muscles, improve our energy levels and fitness. Then, we’ll transition slowly into YIN which speaks to a feminine, passive and cooling energy where we go deep into the connective tissues from a place of surrendering 😌

I so very much look forward to seeing you on the mat. Please do book as spaces are limited XO

I haven’t been able to teach in person for a while and so I’m really excited to share that I’ve uploaded one of my meditations on ! The world’s largest library of meditations, so many for Free!

I hope you enjoy this 20-minute blissful oceanic meditation that will guide you on a soothing and relaxing inner journey to dissolve and cleanse away unwanted stress and tension.

Officially finished teaching (for now!)

I’m wishing all the mamas from my prenatal a sacred and empowering birth! And to everyone else who has allowed me to guide their practice these last few years - THANK YOU! You’ve helped me grow as a teacher and student immensely! And please keep practicing 📿🤸🏽‍♂️

I’ll navigate this new life of two, take the time for my body to heal, slowly rebuild my practice and return to teaching when it aligns XO
