“What a line up!!!”
Absolutely agree with this Leah Groth. 👏🎬

A part of my life ‘Movement and Mindfulness’ has come full circle. I am grateful for the opportunity to be delivering the new strength classes alongside the pilates, yoga and mindfulness classes to a dedicated group of clients who turn up every week for themselves emotionally, mentally and physically, as well as our awesome community of like-minded fitness lovers.

Look forward to coaching my new weekly strength classes at Snap Fitness Gympie:
- Mondays 5:00pm Functional Strength
- Mondays 5:45pm Functional Cardio
commencing 23 February!

See you on the other side for recovery, release and restoration at my Tuesdays 5:00pm Mat Pilates and 6:00pm Yoga and Release, as well as Thursdays 10:00am Mat Pilates.

"The only thing I claim to be an expert about is my clients. I know their bodies and motivators better than anyone."
- Sofija Vracar

As a Strength & Conditioning Coach you get to know your clients’ and athletes’ bodies and brains incredibly well. You know what exercises they love and don’t love, which exercises they’re great at and which exercises they’re not-so-great at, what gets them motivated, what methods and programs they prefer, what limitations they have in terms of form, how hard to push them, when to back off, when to scrap the program and be spontaneous, what music to play, and how to keep them excited about training week in and week out.

Just thrilled to be part of a team of phenomenal coaches at Snap Fitness Gympie!!!

Look forward to commencing my weekly Monday evening strength classes 23 February!

Much Love, Gratitude and Living ❤️🙌💫xx

"I am worthy of God's love simply because I exist."
-James Van Der Beek

Let this be our daily mantra, and 'be' what strengthens connection to yourself, the Divine, and heartfelt relationships with the precious time you have left on Earth.

Some people are more than human, some are half angel, sent here to give the rest of us perspective and teach us presence. Your message validated for myself and my Yoga and Meditation clients at Hader Clinic Queensland the reason for healing emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually, and carved the path home to our authenticity and wholeness.

Rest in peace James 🤍

“We rise by lifting others.”
- Robert Ingersoll

I am grateful for the tree change and community, I am home. 🥰

Looking back on the past two and a half years I am in appreciation for this significant lifestyle shift - moving from an urban environment (Cronulla 26-years and Alexandra Headland 2-years) to Curra; a more rural, nature-focused area - and finding supportive, meaningful connections within the new, often close-knit community.

For me to follow my intuition and relocate to a warmer climate in a peaceful bush setting for my physical, mental and emotional health is the continual dance of absolute trust in the Divine, surrender to the call to rebuild the next chapter of my precious life, and the courage to own the journey within myself as well as invest in new relationships with others around me.
I now know the sentiment of contentment, connection, and gratitude for a slower, more purposeful life.

Every day I fulfill the desire for more space and stillness, cleaner air, a night sky full of dazzling stars, and a deeper connection to nature.
In the process of establishing my new weekly Yoga, Pilates, Meditation and Nutrition classes and workshops at the local Curra Community Hall, fitness venues in town, surrounding health retreats and private hospital I am finding belonging, camaraderie, and mutual support among neighbours in this new, and closer environment. It signifies to me that the move wasn't just for a better view, but for better relationships.

The gift that keeps on giving is my ongoing practice of ‘Mindfulness’ i.e. expressing daily deep gratitude for this change and acknowledging the benefits of this new life, such as presence, lower stress levels, improved well-being, and a intimate, more communal living experience.

This summer has been about exploring the local area, new dining out experiences with my favourite people, and my daily tranquil breakfasts with the birds, water dragons and kangaroos that are part of the package of my delightful outdoor room that my dearest friends Margaret Walsh Bye and Greg (next door neighbours) helped bring to life.

Find love in all the local places…💞

Jen Thomas let’s continue to be love, support and presence to each other and the communities we are co-creating.

“Authenticity is to love yourself fully, but to love yourself you must know yourself, and to know yourself you must spend time with yourself.”
- Sofija Vracar

I am so excited to be introducing weekly Yin Yoga classes to the Gympie ARC community. Yin is perfect for everyone to practice, it limits pressure on our joints and our general mobility is improved. In fact, it is a useful tool to reduce inflamed joints and other nerve and muscular pain.
Another aspect of Yin Yoga is in the stillness itself. It is considered more of a meditative class for some in which during the stillness you turn inward.

It has actually become one of my favourite ways of personally practicing yoga (twice weekly) and has made a significant difference in recovering from muscle soreness that my strength training sessions gift me with, encourage ease of movement in general, whilst cultivating presence and bringing calm to my mental and emotional bodies also. 🫠

Yin Yoga is a practice that invites us to slow down, drop fully in, and meet ourselves in the now. Just as we are. No agenda. No judgment. No effort to be one thing or another. We simply be.
When we become present in this way, space and time have a way of shifting. We grow vast. And this felt experience is a soothing energetic tonic for the racing mind. When we emerge from a Yin practice, we carry away a remembrance of this expansive self that helps put all the other things into perspective.

Look forward to seeing you on the mat at our weekly Yin Yoga classes 6:30pm Wednesdays commencing 4 February 2026. ☯️

🌿 New Group Exercise Class | Yin Yoga 🌿

🗓 Wednesdays
⏰ 6:30pm

Yin Yoga invites stillness of both mind and body through gentle, longer-held poses that target the connective tissues. This calming practice helps soothe the nervous system while improving flexibility in the shoulders, spine, lower back, hips and pelvis 💫

Ideal for those seeking relaxation, pain management, trauma recovery, or a gentle balance to a busy, active lifestyle. It’s also a beautiful entry into meditation—no sitting required 🌿

Make Yin Yoga a weekly ritual and you may be surprised by the benefits 🤍

“Take a deep breath, relax, and trust that everything will work out for the best.”
- Karen Salmansohn

We all needed this pause… Relaxing Australia Day beach vibes with these brilliant souls! 🏝️☀️

Relaxation is the antidote to the complex and fast-paced world we live in. It invites grounding presence as well as restores our sense of peace and harmony.

Cheers to taking a step back, to breathe and to embrace serenity.

Much Love, Gratitude and Living ♥️🙌💫xx

Through my experience and research I have found this to be true: 
I would call this energy field, God… It is the essence of life, love and joy. Many never access the full power of the will because fear creates masks and holding patterns that keeps them from making the choice.  
 
Authenticity groups are invaluable as they provide an environment to connect to ‘the self’ and teach you how to be bold and step into that choice and find the willpower to be you... to be free. To be the divine expression of God you were meant to be. 
 
This is an invitation to consider letting go, flowing and awakening to your truth… What I do know with my own life experience and witnessing the chapters in the lives of friends, family, colleagues and clients is the divine miracle of God will also place on your path opportunities to recalibrate and grow through health issues, grief, trauma and complex relationships etc., each obstacle is here to pause, ground and align you to your North Star.
 
Through meditation, reflection and conscious choice, we begin to deprogram fear, rewrite our belief systems, and access the peace that has always been available. If you sense there is more - more freedom, more love, more alignment - you are ready to step out of the matrix and into authentic power, so follow this lighter vibration of calm, clarity and confidence. 
 
It may mean making the simple choice to commit to one daily habit, thought-form or movement that will support the vibration of the higher and free version of you. 
 
I believe a random post can invoke some self-enquiry to initiate conscious change. 
One path will strengthen your future. The other slowly takes it away. 
Choose the uncomfortable path that gives back in the new year. 
 
For me subconsciously and consciously is to allow the New Year to invite reflection to reset to ensure I am not ‘being’ in the same place this time next year. For me 2026 is about navigating the pathway to meaningful relationships and experiences, as studies alongside my conversations with elderly friends and clients have confirmed are the only things that matter in this life.

“2026 isn’t about chasing, it’s about arriving.”
- Vex King

Happy New Year!! 🎉🎈💫
It was so much fun to bring in the year of the Fire Horse with stellar humans Kymie, Erika and Miguel. A year of movement, energy and emotional stamina quietly rebuilding itself. 🎵💃🏻🌼

2025: Universal Year 9, the year what no longer aligned fell away. Like many of you in the year of the Snake we experienced ‘what ended needed to end’, and space was cleared for what’s real.

2026: Universal Year 1, is a year for intentional effort that actually leads somewhere….
💫 A year for momentum after feeling stuck.
💫 A year for emotional courage, even when life has been heavy.
💫 A year that lets hope grow roots again.

In the year ahead you are allowed to let this next cycle lift you, even a little… Holding space you step forwards with clarity, confidence and purpose!

Cheers to a year with more light, more strength, and more breath in your lungs than the year before.

Much Love, Gratitude and Living ❤️🙌💫xx

“Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.”
- Edna Ferber

So grateful for the intentional close bonds you experience in life - my ‘chosen family’… where we nurture shared values, trust, and unconditional support.

Another delightful Sunday to start the week of Christmas with some of my favourite humans Erika .90 and Tommy. So blessed to have had the hilarious Santa Claus and the blissful Samadhi grace our presence into the evening. 🤣🙏

I believe life is a gift and choose to use it wisely; embrace your authenticity, devote yourself to nourishing connections, and follow the good feeling of presence, love and joy.

Enjoy the festive season, a gentle reminder to honour this precious gift of life ! 👏🎄🥰

This quote “The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.” by Carl Jung encapsulates great brilliance inevitably creates profound darkness.

I was recently talking to a dear soul and songwriter Al on how each of us had owned our own trauma, transcended this to fully activate into the next chapter of each of our lives. I declared: “This is by far the proudest thing I have ever done and I am so excited for the inner life I am choosing to move through me!”

My quotable quote within our epic exchange:
“We are all wounded and the damaged are those people who don’t realise they are wounded.”
- Sofija Vracar

We can’t learn about our fears if we refuse to acknowledge them; we can’t figure out what lies beneath our uncomfortable emotions if we refuse to feel into them. Ultimately, Jung’s words encourage us to embrace the complexity of our existence, understanding that light and shadow are inseparable and that true growth comes from integrating both via talk and somatic therapies combined.

I’ve learned that there is so much power in simply being present with ourselves, that there is so much power in self-awareness - in becoming aware of ourselves, all of ourselves, including our fears, our pain, and our less ‘nice’ parts.

Thank you to my village, therapy team I am so honoured to be a part of, and my various therapies (i.e. talk, weights training, dance, meditation and journalling) that supported my self-study the past 14-months and I would not change a thing on my journey. Be authentic and be love. Let the joy move through you…

Much Love, Gratitude and Living ❤️🙌💫xx

“Healing is communication; and music, in its universal nature, is total communication. In the deepest mysteries of music are the inspirations, the pathways, and the healing which lead to one-ness and unity.”
- Olivia Dewhurst-Maddock

Thank you Priti Amrit and Sadhu for our Christmas teaching team gathering. 🙏

We just loved the experience of Shivallah Dharma’s sound bath as well as the great conversations and home-made prana filled lunch. We all needed this pause, connection and magic of healing vibrational music… A somatic sound bath is to the soul what a water bath is to the body. 🎶🦋

Look forward to growing the Poinciana Pilates' community with intention and presence in 2026.
