Biggest CONGRATULATIONS to these Sunshine Coast/Fraser Coast Yoga Teacher Trainees who have now completed all of their in-person training days AND most have graduated from the program today, coming soon to a space near you, supporting you to know the nature of your mind! 🙌

Back in 2013, I said yes to a yoga teacher training program.

At the time, I wasn’t thinking about becoming a teacher. I simply wanted to go deeper into the practice that had given me so much.

The training itself was incredible. But what I couldn’t have imagined—even as I graduated—was where saying yes would take me.

I'm feeling reflective today, and I hope you don't mind me bringing you along the ride with me, savouring some of the milestones (so far!):

🕉️ the collaborations
🕉️ the travel
🕉️ the community
🕉️ the music
🕉️ the discipline
🕉️ the nerves!
🕉️ the creativity

And, most of all, the bucketloads of trust it took to step forward each time.

If you are also feeling called to deepen your own personal immersion into yoga, you know that all I've got to say to you is go for it!

Who knows what's on the other side of the yes!

There are some incredible teachers around offering teacher training programs.

And if you feel it's me that you'd like to train with, I'm running a program starting this November.

(at this stage, I'm unlikely to be running a 2026 teacher training program)

If you want another recommendation then please ask!

With gratitude to all my yoga teachers along the journey, and my 'undercover teachers' who have helped awaken my inner Knowing.

Toward the end of her Yoga Teacher Training studies a few years back, Faieza wrote an article sharing how her new level understanding of compassion has not only completely changed her approach to her yoga practice - it has completely changed how she approaches her whole life.

You'll love the examples Faieza gives to remind us all that yoga isn't something you 'do - it's a whole way of being.

Here's one of our favourite quotes from her article:

"...I've learnt that rigidity and stability are not synonymous - rigidity actually prevents adaptability and growth."

Thank you for sharing your wise insights Faieza!

In this article Yoga Teacher Training graduate Faieza shares how her new level understanding of compassion (ahimsa) has completely changed her approach to her yoga practice - and life.

Trusting the process…

This year’s Yoga Teacher trainees are now embarking on practice teaching to their communities!

This step is naturally a bit daunting but it’s a massive first step to build confidence. AND an even bigger step into Seva, selfless service.

Getting out from under our own doubts and fears and looking outward and cherishing others, demonstrating kindness and presence for others, and being in service of others.

Without expecting anything back, the heart fills with joy, contentment, genuine happiness and the deepest sense of satisfaction, beyond any ‘goal’ or ‘achievement’.

So excited for the 22 teacher trainees between Sunshine Coast and Perth 🙌

If this journey is something you’re contemplating, early bird enrolments are now being accepted for the Nov ‘25 intake Sunshine Coast, with in-person training days held at the Wellbeing Centre Eudlo.

The more intensive/immersive nature of the Nov program means it’s perfect if you live afar and want to drive/fly in-out for the 4 x in-person training blocks.
