A Twisted Balance

30/01/2026

✨For the last 4 years I have had the honour to work with the incredible young men at Knox Grammar School in Wahroonga, Sydney.

Building regulation, flexibility and strength with the year 11 and year 10 students as they prepare to move into the year level above. Navigating self worth, self discipline and self development in preparation for those critical stages of senior school.

Over the past 4 years (2022-2025), these young men are guided through the concept that the mind and body work together…..
•strength is not just physical but mental
•flexibility is not just in the muscles but in the mind
•stamina is not just the heart, lungs and muscles job, but involves mindset and determination

I have ended each and every session over the years (16 sessions/ 1600 students) with the boys walking away a little straighter, seemingly lighter and comments of appreciation or disbelief…. but always more engaged with their own abilities and the elevated confidence.

At last year’s event, I ran 4 sessions of 100 - 16 year old young men. I completed each session with a strong visualisation of who they felt like and what they can become…. At each session, the teachers and I were in awe of the silence, the stillness and fact I couldn’t get the boys up at the end to move to their next activity. That’s the power of connection to self and a good visualisation.

🌀Boys need mind work, movement and breath regulation more than people care to realise.

🌀Young men are so powerful, but many miss the opportunity to share this gift with the world- fearful of the outcomes.

🌀 Young men are amazing beings and truly deserve our time and energy to be able to learn to appreciate the benefits of how to relax, reflect and feel comfortable to show their confidence to the world.

Thank you to the staff of Knox Grammar School who invite me back each year to share this gift with not just the students but the incredible teachers who join in too 🥰🙏🏻

How A Child Acts When They See You……

🌺Yesterday I did a make up yoga day our centres out in Maitland that we work with.

The make up day was because I had a beautofil Mamma client of mine give birth, when these lesson was due to be on.

It was a quick and easy swap with the centre directors, plus I was excited 😝 I would get to come back and see my big kids one last time before they head of to big school.

🥹Some of these incredible kids I have been teaching yoga to for 3years!!!

It had been since week 10 of the 4th school term last year since I had seen them…. So 4 weeks….

And to see the reaction of over 120 children, across 7 lessons, in 3 different centres…. 💗My heart was reminded why I love the gift of my work so much, why my heart is always so full, and my energy so freely flowing!!!

The feeling of watching the kids screaming with excitement- “Miss Amy” as I walk past a window or through the door….. it never leaves your soul!!! ✨

Food is one of the biggest factors in our body’s functioning and behaviour….. If it affects our body- imagine the brain’s reaction to
good foods V bad foods….. 🤔🤔🤔

What children eat directly affects their brain and behavior. Research shows that eliminating processed foods from their diets can reduce ADHD symptoms by 53%, even without medication or therapy. This highlights the significant influence of nutrition on the developing nervous system.

Processed foods often contain sugar, additives, and preservatives that impact attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation. These substances can overstimulate neural circuits, making it harder for children to focus, manage behavior, and self-regulate emotions.

By switching to whole, nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins parents provide essential vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats that support neurotransmitter function and healthy brain signaling. This helps the nervous system function efficiently, improving attention, emotional balance, and impulse control.

Parents can make practical changes by gradually reducing processed snacks and meals and replacing them with healthier alternatives. Consistent healthy eating habits create long-term benefits for cognitive and emotional development. Simple dietary changes can be a powerful tool to help children with ADHD strengthen focus, reduce hyperactivity, and support overall brain and body health without relying solely on medications or therapies.

🌱 Our Child Care and Preschool Centre sessions cater for students across ages 1.5-5year olds. We have fun themes that allow the children to connect with the movement with their minds and interest first, allowing for the flow of yoga throughout their little bodies next.

A large focus of each session is breath work and helping develop emotional regulation 😌.

The most rewarding part of teaching this age group is seeing the development and change in a young child over the course of the year. Seeing minds slow, behaviours change and children learning to control emotions especially using their breath.

I work on the foundations of remedial yoga therapy for all our class structures. Remedial yoga is Japanese and based on the meridian pathways of our body. Healing organ function and calming the nervous system 🤍.

We use many different themes, beneficial yoga poses, flow sequences, breathing aids and meditation tools.

We all just love our ATB Yoga Club!!!

📸 Big Thank You to our wonderful teacher Miss Romana for demonstrating her yoga talents in these class photos.

🌺 Corperate Retreats and Staff Wellness Sessions

Working with the corporate staff in the head office and the hard working centre directors is such a reward for me….

These men and women often manage multiple jobs or locations and large numbers of staff themselves, often becoming the hidden faces behind these busy places of child education, learning and development. 🌟

This particular experience at the Directors Retreat in the Hunter Valley, was so much fun and the 35 attendees were all so brave to join the session at 7am after a busy day of learning and after a fun evening before.

Thank you so much Tara for sharing your experience and supporting the benefits of yoga for adults and kids 🥰

We wish Miss Romana the very best in her future endevours and cannot thank her enough for being an invaluable addition to our team over the past year. So many children have been changed by your beautiful personality and kind/caring nature. 🥰
