25.01.2022 Such a precious journey we’ve all been on together with our yoga ! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart This was a beautiful catch up on Tuesday @Saltwater Restaurant @ Fingal Surfclub for Abundant Potential’s early Christmas lunch and my farewell from Port Stephens... it was a great celebration of our yoga classes that have evolved into lovely groups of women who care about each other and support each other through the ups and downs of life. We had quite a few more who wanted to come but couldn’t- you were there in spirit! We couldn’t really fit any more in!! Thank you all so much for coming along to this gathering and taking time to enjoy being part of a very special little community of like minded souls so much love and laughter over the years

24.01.2022 This is a gorgeous corner in our new little garden! It’s so cute and pretty, and I love how the flowers sometimes fall into the birdbath and just float around happily, effortlessly enjoying the cool water and sunshine. And the birds splashing about. Everyday there’s a few new flowers on the different bushes, and it made me think about how we live our lives. Often rushing, trying to get too many things done or keep up with other people’s expectations. When really...we can tak...e a little life lesson from the flowers. The Bush or plant is just there, growing in its own way. The potential for each flower is already there. Yet they each decide to bloom when they are ready....not when someone tells them to... or on the same day as all the other flowers. They just rest quietly and wait and when they feel absolutely ready to share their unique gift of beauty with the world their bud starts to open into full bloom. Sometimes it happens slowly over a few days. Sometimes a bit quicker. But it’s each flowers choice to bloom when it is ready. As people we could take this beautiful lesson and apply it to our own lives. Stop rushing, enjoy the sunshine, float calmly through your days, bloom when you feel ready! This is what I love to do in my yoga and mindfulness classes. I’ve been doing a bit more of this myself lately . Moving and settling in and connecting with so many friends and family has been wonderful but I was feeling tired!! Had to find my slow-down button and treat myself with my own medicine - restorative yoga, Dru yoga, time out in nature. My Zoom Yoga has begun again... please DM me for more info...and in person classes begin soon on Gold Coast. I’m feeling ready to bloom in my new environment

24.01.2022 Hi!

24.01.2022 Unfortunately many of us can't see our family this Mothers Day, ( I had hoped to be in Canberra watching my adorable grandson be his cute and funny self). So I thought why not make this the perfect opportunity to create a space for other women to take some well deserved time-out to relax and recharge your inner batteries. After this long period of not seeing those we love and care about, and missing all the hugs and cuddles, I thought it would be a wonderful way to care for y...ou - by coming to the Mothers Day 'Retreat Yourself'! This will be a lovely way to spend some time being free to just let go of your worries, so you can relax and nurture your mind and body. This 2 hour virtual retreat will include the soothing, movements of gentle Dru Yoga (suitable for all bodies)to release tension and tightness. This will be followed by the incredible Restorative Yoga to allow your nervous system and your whole body to sink into a deep and peaceful space of calm, relaxation and healing. Sunday 10 May, 2.30-4.30pm. $35. Bookings www.abundantpotential.com/bookings or DM for more info. Small group only for this class. And we are no longer limited by distance! So you can attend from anywhere :-)

22.01.2022 VIRTUAL YOGA CLASSES CONTINUE ONLINE.. Another beautiful day in the Bay!! And have just finished teaching a super relaxing Restorative Yoga class on Zoom...so lovely to still be able to teach what I love to people who really want to feel good and keep up with their yoga. I also have new people who have never done yoga joining in to do Dru Yoga and Restorative Yoga) and finding them both an easy style of yoga to do, and had great results quickly without having to st...and on your head or be a pretzel. So it is perfect for those with injuries, or feeling a bit tight and stiff, or if you haven't done yoga before, or not for a long time. Please feel free to contact me for more info [email protected] or check www.abundantpotential.com/bookings Classes are on Tuesday , Wednesday, Friday and there is a Free Pop-Up Dru Yoga class on this coming Sunday 26 April at 10am, suitable for beginners as well as other yogis.

22.01.2022 Absolutely true, we all need to make time for ourselves to be nurtured and to rest, relax, eat well, attend to those aches and pains and not put them off till another day!

21.01.2022 YAY !! At last!!! I can finally say DRU YOGA is back on at Corlette Hall @ 10am on Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th July! Please let me know if you are definitely coming so I can keep the numbers to the current COVID limit. You will need to bring your own mat, blanket, cushion etc as I can no longer supply them for you ( under the current rules etc) ... Either by email [email protected] or P: 0413 332933. You can still book and pay online for individual classes. www.abundantpotential.com/bookings Also...I am still doing ZOOM ONLINE Dru Yoga and Restorative Yoga as well. Some people have loved doing the Zoom classes so much they don't want them to stop! They've loved the convenience of rolling out their mat in the warmth and comfort of their own lounge-room, so I am continuing these on a permanent basis. Other people have respiratory conditions - which means because their health is so vulnerable they are not wanting to go out in winter and risk getting any infection (not just COVID but any other bugs) but they don't want to stop their favourite yoga :-) so we will keep going with these classes. And it is open to anyone in the world! I have some locals who have invited their sisters and friends in different cities and countries to join in, and it is lovely when they see each other online! So if you've been missing your yoga, now is the time to come back and join us on the mat and have a great stretch, release and relax.

16.01.2022 I know I have been very quiet on FB lately...but I've been busy making plans and doing stuff!!! Sorry - long post alert!! Too much to say, so will include my last newsletter fro explain :-) JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON..!!! Well life is full of surprises..and I am still in a bit of disbelief that we are actually moving away from my beloved 'peace' of paradise in the Bay!!...Continue reading

16.01.2022 Obviously no yoga classes for a while, am trialling an online one today and will let you'll know where to join in next week! Wish me luck, and remember....we have got to keep taking care of ourselves during this uncertain time!!

11.01.2022 This is such a great way to get the message out -stay home! with some very clever lyrics and fantastic vocals!

08.01.2022 Today was a bit special... I had the sudden urge at the end of our online zoom yoga class last week to gather this group together in person ! So some of our regular yoginis turned up for our coffee catch up at Dolphin Watch cafe @ Nelson Bay... a stunning sunny day, social distancing (of course!) and it was very heartwarming to see them greeting each other and introducing themselves- after months of just seeing tiny faces in little squares on Zoom. It was a perfect way to spend the afternoon... and celebrate the true meaning of yoga - which means to yoke, to unite or gather together all aspects of ourselves...and also create community...wonderful! some of them love their lounge room Yoga classes so much they’re happy to keep going even though studio classes have recommenced

07.01.2022 Cute story...I’ve just started up my zoom yoga classes again for 2021... and at the very end of restorative yoga class today ( just before we did our end of class blessing and offering out to the world) I lost internet connection- well Telstra just actually dropped out - so I sent everyone a text apologising and saying goodbye- and then they all replied - saying they still had connection so they just did everything we always do together at the end of class - the little blessing, face massage and namaste and said goodbye and they’d catch up together on zoom next week! How cute is that? I had a huge smile on my face just picturing them so zoom is just as good in many ways as in person class

05.01.2022 The Sunday Free Dru Yoga session was a lovely way to spend the morning...and our focus was a beautiful quote by Pearl Buck... "Inside yourself is a place where you live all alone...that's where you renew the springs that never dry up." And it was indeed a wonderful way to fill up our inner spring, or well, with some time out for essential self-care. I am sure we all were imagining doing our relaxation out on the sand in the gentle sunshine (like in this photo a while ago!)

05.01.2022 What have you been thankful for today? This time-out from the usual busy-ness is allowing us to feel more appreciation for the simple, everyday things we have that make our life wonderful - the family connections - even if we aren't close-by we can call or text or FaceTime and see and hear each others voices. That is so reassuring to a parents heart! We can walk more mindfully and enjoy our neighbourhood - the trees, the flowers, the path by the beach, the water sparkling i...n the sunshine ....or today the rain on the roof... I've enjoyed cooking some different things to our 'usual menu' that we randomly flow through over a month ( I once read we tend to cook the same 6 -10 meals over and over! Which is actually true until you get inspired to try something new!)...and so has my husband been cooking some new things too - I love it when he cooks, has a real knack with spices and herbs! I am thankful for being able to live in a peaceful country, in a beautiful, more isolated place where it is easy to get out into nature and enjoy reconnecting with the earth. And I have a comfy home, fridge with food, loopaper(!) and someone to share this time with - my husband and my dog and now my new online yoga studio where I can share my love of yoga and help people feel calm and relaxed again!I really am blessed.

04.01.2022 Well as many of you know, we’re building the Great Wall in our garage so I can continue to film my zoom yoga classes and do coaching calls and Bowen therapy etc... and we’re almost finished!! Here’s a sneak peek of the wall - a very clever design thanks to our friend Kevin & my husband Gary for their hard efforts - no nails in walls, ceiling or floor - so it can be totally removed when we leave and not have any damage to the property! Pretty impressive should be completed soon when we have time to do the last bits.

02.01.2022 Abundant Potential Dru Yoga Classes continue with VIRTUAL CLASSES ONLINE VIA ZOOM. These classes are suitable for all bodies, and fantastic if you have some old injuries where you need to take extra care - I have plenty of alternative movements to keep you included and still gaining benefit with improved mobility, balance and flexibility that happens easily over the weeks. Dru yoga is gentle, mindful yoga and helps to lift your mood, release anxiety and tension and create a s...ense of calm, leaving you with a relaxed, uplifted, positive feeling that stays with you. Check www.abundantpotential.com/bookings or [email protected] for more details. Tues 9am and 8pm, Wednesday 10am and 6.30pm and Friday 10am. Pop-Up Yoga classes announced on FB and email newsletter. Next FREE Yoga Class Sunday 26 April 10am, email me for details. Hope to see you soon! love and peace, Suzie See more
