IT'S BEGINNING TO FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS 🎄
Check out our twinkly little Christmas Tree. An early Christmas present from Maarten who is a regular at our 9.30am classes, and in his spare time, volunteers at a local school helping kids make their own Christmas Trees. Love love! x

It’s that time of year when we usually check who’s on track to hit 100 classes in 2025…�But this year, we’re doing things differently.

Because it’s not just about how many classes you’ve ticked off — it’s about the dedication, the consistency, and the little wins that add up to big change.

So this year, we want to celebrate ALL of your wins in the yoga room.�The ah-ha moments. The light-bulb moments. The breakthroughs.�The things you’ve learned, unlocked, or simply shown up for — on and off the mat.

Maybe you found your balance.�Maybe you finally nailed your grip in Standing Bow.�Maybe you breathed a little deeper, found stillness for the first time, or did something you never thought you could.

Big or small — they all matter, and we want to hear them.
Starting this week, you’ll see cards outside the yoga room.� Grab one, share your 2025 wins, and let us celebrate with you. 🎉💖

Oh I love this. Perhaps we should try it???? Comment below.

🌿 South Korea Has a Sport Where You Literally Do… Nothing! 🇰🇷

In a country known for its fast-paced lifestyle, high work hours, and intense study culture, South Korea created something refreshingly unexpected — the Space-Out Competition, a real event dedicated to doing absolutely nothing.

Created in 2014 by Korean artist Woopsyang, the competition was designed to help people disconnect, de-stress, and rediscover the power of mental stillness.

Today, it has grown into a beloved annual event — and even spread to cities like Hong Kong, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Rotterdam.

🧘‍♂️ How it works:

• Participants sit or lie quietly for 90 minutes
• No phones, no talking, no sleeping
• Heart rate monitors track who stays calmest
• Spectators vote for the “most peaceful vibe”
• The most relaxed person wins 🏆

It’s the only competition where the goal isn’t to push harder… but to slow down, breathe, and simply be.

Would you survive 90 minutes of total stillness? 👀✨

Have been a little quiet on Socials these last couple of weeks, as was lucky to have the opportunity to attend the 200hr Hot Yoga Teacher Training, run by Evolation Yoga.

So amazing to watch these trainees take on the role of Teacher. As students we don't always realise what goes into becoming a teacher, as with time it becomes effortless. But in the beginning it is anything but effortless, it requires a tremendous amount of courage, hard work and a willingness to step out of ones comfort zone. And this is exactly what they did. Congrats to you all, I know that I speak for all of us when we say we cant wait to take your classes!

And so wonderful to finally meet Mark and Zefea Drost from Evolation Yoga. These two combined have such a wealth of knowledge about the 26+2 Hot Yoga Practice and I'm so grateful to know them, thank you for sharing your love, passion and knowledge of this yoga practice...and setting me and all the new teacher trainees on this journey. 💖😀😍

Hey Team,
If anyone is interested do check out the Evolt 360 Body Composition Scan, with HKM. It's a non invasive scan that gives you heaps of info about the state of your health, like:
- Lean Body Mass
- Skeletal Muscle Mass,
- Visceral Fat Mass
and much more.

Details of where and when are on the poster. 😀

🔥 HOT YOGA IN SUMMER? YES — here’s why it’s actually the best time of year 🔥

Most people think hot yoga is a “winter thing”…but summer is actually when your body is most ready to thrive in the heat.

Here’s why:
1) You adapt FASTER
You’re already warmer + your body is already working with heat.
So you’ll often find you settle into the room more easily + progress quicker.

2) BETTER cardio + stamina gains
Training in warmer conditions builds heat tolerance → which improves fitness.
So when everyone else is dragging through summer…
you’re getting stronger.

3) Detoxification + circulation NATURALLY increase
Hot yoga in summer amplifies the sweating + flushing benefits what your body’s already doing. The heat becomes your ally instead of something you fight against.

5) You feel AMAZING afterwards
You walk out hydrated, glowy, clear-headed — and that feeling of “fresh + alive” hits different in the summer.

BOTTOM LINE. Don't let your consistency slip and all that progress you made in winter fall away. Summer can get hectic, for sure: BBQs, late nights, holidays, so let your mat become the anchor → not the thing you put on pause and “restart” in March.

PLUS: There is no better feeling then diving into the sea, straight after a hot yoga class! 🌊
