Yesterday was Saturday and I genuinely had to pull over on the side of the road on my way to teach just to check my calendar and make sure it actually was Saturday!! Am I really teaching today?? That’s the kind of week this is. Can you relate?

It’s that weird time between Christmas and New Year where no one knows what day it is, no one knows if they should be at work, no one knows if it’s a public holiday, no one knows when the bins go out, and honestly, no one knows anything. Is it Sunday? Is it Tuesday? Is time even real right now? Who knows. This week has no rules, no structure, no sense of time.

But there is one consistent thing you can rely on throughout the whole year, we will be open 🤪 Yes Yoga Bayside is open throughout the whole year, 7 days a week.

If you’re feeling like you don’t know whether you’re coming or going, stuck in that strange in between space where everything feels a bit loose and unstructured, yoga gives you something simple and grounding: a place to slow down, breathe, move your body, and let your nervous system settle.

There’s a Yoga Sutra that speaks directly to times like this.

Yoga Sutra 1.33, citta prasadanam, it translates as the settling of the mind.

This reminds us that steadiness doesn’t come from life being organised or predictable. It comes from practice. From moving, breathing, and giving your system something familiar to land on, even when everything else feels vague and out of rhythm.

Yoga doesn’t fix the chaos of this week. It just helps you feel more at ease inside it. If you’re craving something steady and familiar, we’re here.

We are open throughout the whole new year break, including New Year’s Day.

We’re typically being told to finish the year strong. Push through, hold it all together, get to the end. But yoga has always offered another option.

There’s a Yoga Sutra that feels especially relevant right now:

Sukha maitri karuna mudita upeksanam

It roughly translates to meeting yourself with kindness and compassion when things feel challenging, rather than pressure or criticism.

A couple of days out from Christmas, that feels pretty spot on. This time of year can be fun and full and fabulous, and it can also be loud, emotional, overstimulating, lonely and a bit much. Family dynamics, kids climbing the walls, too many things to do, nothing to do (for some) and not much quiet (or too much quiet).

If you’re feeling a bit frayed, lost, lonely, overstimulated, you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re not failing at the end of the year. You’re just human.

Our studios are open over Christmas because sometimes the most helpful thing is not pushing harder, it’s choosing kindness instead. An hour where no one needs anything from you, where you can breathe, move gently, lie down, and let your nervous system settle.

If you need a break from the noise, we’re here. If you need space away from family for a moment, we’re here. If you just want to stretch, breathe, and feel a bit more okay in your body, we’re here.

Check the timetable via link in bio or head to yogabayside.com.au. You don’t need to finish the year strong. You can finish it with compassion.

As we come to the end of the year, it’s easy to focus on what didn’t get done. But there’s so much that did happen. Growth you didn’t notice, strength you didn’t plan for, and ways you kept showing up even when things felt hard or uncertain. If nothing else, let this be a reminder to give yourself some credit. You’ve carried a lot, and you’re still here.

If this time of year feels full, loud, or a little overwhelming, know that you don’t have to hold it all on your own. We’re open right through Christmas, closed only on Christmas Day, and both studios will be here if you need a moment to breathe, to move, or simply to be. You’re always welcome.

You can find our timetable and class pass options via the link in our bio, or head to yogabayside.com.au.

Stop pretending you’re fine. It’s a Saturday morning in late December. Your calendar is full, your body is tired, and your mind is already racing ahead to everything that still needs to be done. The year isn’t quite over, but you can feel how much it has taken out of you. I’m feeling it too.

There’s a yoga sutra that doesn’t get quoted very often. Heyam duhkham anagatam.
It translates to future suffering can be avoided.
Not avoided by pretending everything’s fine, not avoided by pushing harder or staying busy or telling yourself to just get through it.

It’s avoided by noticing what’s happening now, by pausing before exhaustion turns into burnout, and by tending to your nervous system before it reaches breaking point.

This time of year can be beautiful and quietly heavy at the same time. Family dynamics, financial pressure, end of year fatigue, and the unspoken expectation to feel joyful when what you actually feel is depleted. It’s a lot to carry, especially when everyone else seems to be rushing forward at full speed.

Yoga isn’t here to fix you or make life perfect. It’s here to give your body and mind somewhere to soften. A place to breathe without performing, a place to move or rest, or simply lie on the floor and be held by the practice. This is yoga as it was always meant to be, a way to reduce suffering and create a little more ease in the middle of real life.

We’re open right through Christmas, closing only on Christmas Day. Not because we expect discipline or motivation, but because we understand that this is often when people need support the most. If you need a break, if you need somewhere steady to land, we’re here.
