I am passionate about sharing the benefits to the mind & body through yoga & hiking.

Storm season is well & truly here!

On Sunday we got hit with the worst storm I (and many others in my street) can remember. Some reports of over 180km winds.

We've had a bit of damage, but nothing significant or structural, more messy.

We also had no electricity for over 24hrs. Being out of town, nothing works so no water, flushing toilets etc.

It always makes me think about being prepared:
✅️Making sure all the animals waters troughs are full just in case, have spare water available to drink but also to flush the toilet.
✅️Candles, torches and battery packs to recharge devices.

I also have a battery box & solar panel that I use in the caravan that can run my car fridge and the little 3way fridge in the van can be used.

And a BBQ & gas stove for cooking.

In fact as I write this we're having another storm!

What do you do to prepare? Not just for storms, but fires, flood or an instance of emergency evacuation? Do you have a "go bag" with essentials packed just in case?

There's a saying I love, "Fail to plan, plan to fail".

I hope everyone stays safe.

Next week is our last week to practise before a 2 week break, if you can wear Christmas colours ❤️💚🤍

I literally said "I'll see what my legs look like before I post it"

Then I thought too bad.

I'm soon to be in my mid 50s. I accept that my body isn't like it was in my 20s, 30s or even 40s. But you know what, those legs still carry me over hill & dale and I hope with a little bit of luck and a fair bit of effort on my part they'll continue to do so for a few more years.

Genetics play a part in our health and fitness, sometimes we are dealt challenges, some we can overcome some we can't.

I've lost friends who did all the "right things" ate & drank well, exercised and still passed away before their time. I've questioned my own health & fitness goals, inevitably I've thought why bother? And ultimately no matter our dedication our bodies will start to decline it's a natural part of aging.

I've come to realise that I do "all the things" not to live long but to live well. Climb those hills, explore the world and this fantastic country we call home, play with my grandkids, run (my words, lol) an Agility course.

Life is about balance💖

As the year winds down we have 2 weeks left to practise.

Chair yoga: 10am Tamworth Gardens
11.30am Oaktree Retirement Village

Spotlight on Yoga at Kootingal Gym

A year ago I met with Andrew at Kootingal Gym to discuss holding yoga in the gym.

He was keen to provide a wide range of health and fitness options to the growing Moonbi and Kootingal community.

I present a weekly 45min yoga class Thursday evenings starting at 5.45pm during school terms, as well as occasional "special yoga events".

All classes are suitable for beginners and each term we have a theme where we start with the basics and build on our skills to develop our practise. The theme this term has been balance poses.

We are a friendly supportive group that have a lot of fun along the way proving yoga isn't all serious🙂.

I also assist Andrew with running pt's and guiding the senior's fitness fortnightly on Wednesday morning.

Feel free to contact me or Kootingal gym for more details on yoga, pt's or Gym membership.

The last newsletter for 2025 will land in your inbox soon, if you're not signed up visit my website free2beme.com.au.

On location.

I've always wanted to say that, lol.

Have you heard? I'm a youtuber.
That's a stretch but I'm trying.

I'm truly grateful to my "Yin at Home" participants who patiently put up with my floundering in the world of tech.

In my defence I've discovered that my internet speed is woeful. Fyi Starlink has a deal at the moment😉

As a special event I filmed the Yin practise on Wednesday morning on the beach. I will upload it as soon as I can.

So for the princely sum of $10 you too can join me via Zoom for the live practise & then access the video over the next week in your own time.

It's value for money, if for no other reason than comedic entertainment, especially this weeks as I deal with the challenges of the great outdoors. 🪰

Next week is the last chance to join us for the Yin at home, as I'm heading back to Dungowan for a few weeks.

P.S I think Adriene's empire is safe🤣

Did anyone see last night's cracking sunset? Picture just for attention 😃

So this is a little off tangent, and doesn't constitute financial advise! But who checks their regular bills such as insurance, electricity, gas etc?

I had an issue with my gas company & checked the price & they were charging $30 per cylinder more than their 2 local competitors! Of course they said they can reduce the rate but the relationship was irreparably damaged!

I know it is on us to check prices but I think it's rude, especially in the current times that these businesses routinely increase prices even though they can obviously offer cheaper.

I know it's a painful process but please consider checking what you're paying, it could save you a lot of money!

Two things I learnt from this as well is be careful choosing a comparison company, Iselect admitted they have affiliations so maybe not completely unbiased. And with HCF you can claim yoga therapy so maybe the same with other providers.

Anyway Tuesday was the 1st Yin by Zoom, it was well received and as a bonus anyone attending can access the recording for the rest of the week. Well that's the plan when I sort the tech out, I promise I'm working on it🙄.

Yoga this week:

Tuesday:
Chair yoga: 10am Tamworth Gardens
11.30am Oaktree Retirement Village
40min Yin at home - 5.45pm via Zoom

I announced in the newsletter the Mundi Mundi guided meditation, my first foray into going online. In collaboration with OMFG (Outback Music Festival Group) I'm excited to share it among Mundi Mundi & Big Red Bash attendees and hopefuls and now is your chance.

Whether you've danced on the plains or planning to, settle back, relax and be transported back to Mundi Mundi.
