24.01.2022 We’re feeling very grateful that we can still operate our studio as normal, however, thought it timely to remind you that our covid-prevention measures are still in place and they only work when they involve ALL of us. - Please sanitise your hands when you arrive AND when you leave (sanitiser is provided). - Roll your mat back from the marking on the floor: this ensures that we are adhering to the correct social distancing standards as stipulated by Qld Health & with guidan...ce from Yoga Australia (here, 1.5m apart from edge to edge; this spacing requirement differs according to your studio’s useable floor size and is not a ‘one size fits all’ guideline) - BYO mat & props if you need them. You are welcome to use ours but you MUST clean them EACH time with the antibacterial products provided. - Stay home if you are unwell. And, please, just be extra-mindful of your movements around each other. We promise to keep you updated if anything changes. See you soon!

23.01.2022 SHOWING UP Particularly in our health & wellness zone, as individuals we assume what can be a very vulnerable and public position. We stand on our mats next to other practitioners/clients/teachers to ‘hold the space;’ with one another we share warmth and hope to inspire, nourish and cultivate attitude, belief and ways of being - or ways of finding your way back to - the Self. Honestly, showing up for ourselves this year has felt like bit of a challenge at times. There is clea...rly a shift or transition phase occurring in the world at large and while that’s so bl**dy exciting, it’s also calling on some energy reserves from very very deep down, for many of us. Our go-to for soul-nourishing resilience and respite? Simply arriving on our mat and feeling what naturally sparks. When you allow us to guide you back to a place of stability, of calm and grace and honour, you’re also holding us - as the guide - accountable to our own spaces and practices. The support and awareness works both ways. What a beautiful exchange. How do you show up for yourself? #toowoombayoga #yogatoowoomba #toowoombapilates #pilatestoowoomba #toowoombameditation #meditationtoowoomba #antarastudios #showingup #support #shift #toowoombasmallbusiness

22.01.2022 Calling all the early birds!! Starting November 18th, we are bringing EARLY MORNING MAT CLASSES with amazing NEW TEACHERS to our timetable! By practising in the morning, you’re able to set an intention that moves with you throughout the day. It also enables you to shift the brain fog and find some mental clarity while giving your circulatory and immune systems a boost early....

Truly awaken first thing in the morning with these: 5.45am Wednesdays - Morning Flow Vinyasa (1hr) with Ali 5.45am Thursdays - VinYin (1hr) with Jess 5.45am Fridays - Mat Pilates (45mins quick burn) with Vanessa Do you also like a Sunday morning stretch?

22.01.2022 Our weekly wash out - move & meditate, reflect & reset. 5.30pm Fridays: 45mins of balance, clarity and calm. Easily one of our favourite rituals! #yogatoowoomba #toowoombayoga #towooombameditation #toowoombapilates #antarastudios #connection

21.01.2022 Warrior II, for inner strength and power. Concentration, commitment, bravery. Hump day. You’ve got this! ...

21.01.2022 Someone recently asked me if I thought that they would be ‘okay’ in a particular class, or, which class do I recommend to ‘ease into it?’ Fair question? Well... Fair, in that humanly traits like apprehension, curiosity, physical & health restraints and fear all exist and that does have an impact on some of us, in terms of where they decide to place themselves and their energy.... Unfair though, in that they feel they already exist inside of a category or place, that they are a cookie-cutter of standing; that they feel like a negotiation and that those imperfections outweigh their intentions, or that there exists a need to accomplish, to gain or to lose. It could have been much easier for me to steer them deeply into their comfort zones, to give them the answer that they wanted, but that’s not really what our movement and mindfulness is about at Antara. Entrenching ourselves in cosy definitely has its place (even I love a good spacious retreat into places and people sometimes), but if consistent comfort is the number one thing that you’re looking for in life, I’d ask you to perhaps explore why. This second-guessing of our perceived ability over feeling and appreciating what we have is something that I have my own dance with from time to time. We sometimes rock it out furiously in a mosh pit of insecurity and comparison, other days we waltz like it’s nobody’s business and we don’t even step on our own toes. Self-doubt sure can be an ugly monster, and a difficult dance partner. My answer to those beautiful people was: yes, and, any of them, because: True movement and mindfulness practices offer us ADAPTABILITY, and wherever there is the ability to adapt, there is space for us all to exist in the alchemy of acceptance and gratitude. That sounds fair to me. A

21.01.2022 NEW YEARS EVE Today is a day of reflection, gratitude and hope. There is so much to be grateful for in this story so far - the processes, the trust, the movement, the mindfulness, the plot twists, the people....... The people From the absolute depths of our hearts, we are truly grateful for each of you that arrives on the mat to practice, to teach, to learn, to feel, to know; for each of you that supports us in person, by word of mouth or in digital spaces; for each of you that supports us by supporting each other. Thank you, thank you, thank you. As we prepare to step into a new cycle, a new stage, a new adventure into the unknown, remember your intrinsic value and place in the universal family of all things: You are here with a purpose and your magic is right at your fingertips. For each of us on our own unique pathways in 2021: may we receive the Earth’s bounty to nourish our body; may we receive kindness to nourish our hearts, wisdom to nourish our minds and wonder to nourish our souls. 2020, you’ve been a year! #antarastudios #yogatoowoomba #toowoombayoga #pilatestoowoomba #toowoombapilates #meditationtoowoomba #toowoombameditation #newyearseve #reflection #gratitude #hope #toowoombabusiness #watchthisspace

20.01.2022 We did a thing! Perhaps not our usual Sunday activities (but we’re happy to go where there is champagne, right?! ).... practising what we teach, stepping out of our comfort zones for some and harnessing the chance to really bust out some creative expression for others: this was our afternoon to celebrate our amazing little 2020 team! I cannot express the depths of my gratitude to these amazing women (including the ones that weren’t able to make it) - without your warmth, s...upport, willingness and kindness we wouldn’t be where we are now. I’m truly excited about what we can bring to the world and what we can create together. This really is just the beginning Thank you, from the absolute bottom of my heart. Thank you also to The Sip Studio Toowoomba for hosting us, and to Anita at Impressions on Scott for providing the most delicious platters. Local loveliness and highly recommended by us. Watch this suite of genuinely beautiful souls grow and expand in 2021 - we have SO much more to share with you in the new year and we’re very excited!! #antarastudios #team2020 #yogatoowoomba #pilatestoowoomba #meditationtoowoomba #gratitude

19.01.2022 REFORMER PILATES Where the mat practice that you know and love gets flipped on its head: we are welcoming the incredibly versatile Pilates Reformer to Antara Studios. Invented by Pilates founder Joseph Pilates, the Reformer apparatus uses spring loaded resistance to increase/decrease the intensity and focus of Pilates exercises and allows you to find length, strength and space in the body (heart and head included) that you didn’t know you had! ... With Joseph’s intentional ‘whole-body health’ approach, we align the fundamental principles of precision, concentration and breathing with our own injection of character and flow for a truly well-rounded experience. All levels of ability are welcome. Each class is different but will always meet your core strength, muscle tone, balance, alignment and mental clarity in fun, supportive and challenging 45min sequences to up-level your physical and mental capabilities. If you haven’t tried Reformer Pilates before, there’s a Welcome Trial on the way to help get you hooked. (After that, classes can be purchased singularly or in 5’s & 10’s AND unlimited memberships will be available.) All arriving soon. #toowoombayoga #yogatoowoomba #toowoombapilates #pilatestoowoomba #reformerpilatestoowoomba #toowoombasmallbusiness #antarastudios #arrivingshortly

18.01.2022 JUST ARRIVED! When I discussed my vision for Antara with the girls at beloved Orchard Street, we instantly clicked. Our values and intentions aligned like the stars and so here we are, graciously offering Orchard Street’s Apothecary and Daily Rituals range. Each item has been carefully selected to support and/or enhance your practices on and off the mat, in real life or in your sleep - and has been or is currently being used by us. (They also make for extra special gifts for ...loved ones.) Discover the incredible health benefits of their botanical teas, medicinal mushrooms and powder elixirs for immunity, sleep, skin, digestive health and clarity of mind. Create your sacred spaces with divine hand poured candles (in their brand new jars!) and hand rolled incense sticks.... each product an alchemical creation in its own right, but even more special when used together. Welcome Orchard Street - we know you’re going to fall in love with them, just as we have. Available in studio, or send a message to have something special put aside for you. x @orchardstlove #orchardstlove #antarastudios #handpouredcandles #handrolledincense #medicinalmushrooms #botanicaltea #elixirpowder #alignment #clarity #joy #toowoombasmallbusiness

18.01.2022 The gift of an hour from you, to you. Shake off the tension and feel YOURSELF smiling from the inside out - mindful movement is pure magic like that Mat Pilates ... THURSDAY 9.00am Slow Flow Yoga THURSDAY 5.30pm No bookings required.

16.01.2022 FAR INFRARED HEATERS Yes, they’re coming to Antara Studios! Humble in appearance, they are about to elevate your practice in a big and beautiful way.... You know how it feels when you soak in that delicious warmth from the afternoon sun..... or when you’re sitting fireside, gently dissolving into that tender, glowing heat? That’s what we’re bringing to your mat. Far infrared heating provides the same radiant and soothing heat that is naturally emitted from the sun and fire , and evenly heats the objects in the room (ah, that’s you!) without having to warm the surrounding air. FIR won’t harm your skin (that’s UV) and it safely permeates the body more effectively than any other type of heat by building your thermal mass, which makes for an even deeper, satisfying stretch. Additionally, by practising in this kind of heat, you’ll be giving your immune system a boost, increasing your metabolism and detoxifying the body through sweat. That incredible afterglow is deliciously nourishing, and it FEELS amazing.... Watch for their appearance on our new timetable, coming very soon. #yogatoowoomba #toowoombayoga #pilatestoowoomba #toowoombapilates #meditationtoowoomba #toowoombameditation #antarastudios #infraredheaters #hotyoga #warmyoga #toowoombasmallbusiness

16.01.2022 KIDS YOGA I don’t know about you, but term three has always felt the longest for us; my three little people seem to get particularly tired the closer we edge to the end of this term.... I know that they’re definitely ready for a break! Our Kids Yoga has four sessions left before we pause for the holidays. We aim to support your children by allowing them to simply be, teaching them conscious breathing and showing them how to direct their energy peacefully; we plant seeds that ...they learn to nurture that eventually grow into new ideas, inner confidence and awareness...... and some days it’s important to just shake off the crankies and nerves by doing something that makes them smile. (The power of just smiling is quite amazing!) Thursdays 3.45pm-4.30pm Numbers are capped, so if you are interested in coming along please send us a message here so we can hold your place.

15.01.2022 The primary movement and mindfulness practices here at Antara Studios are no recent phenomena, dating back thousands of years ago and across a number of different cultures and often in varying formats. Modern science is continuing to unveil the lists of reasons as to why and how they’re still as relevant today as they have ever been. A golden thread of our ‘why’ at Antara is acknowledging tradition; we acknowledge the honour and commitment to the kindness and respect we sho...w ourselves and those around us. Each of our classes and spaces will respectfully nod to its heritage, while guiding you to a place of grounding, expansion and enquiry..... real inner work AND outer joy. Join us for yoga, Pilates and meditation. Click through to our timetable from the link in our bio. No pre-booking or pre-payment necessary. #yogatoowoomba #toowoombayoga #toowoombapilates #pilatestoowoomba #meditationtoowoomba #toowoombameditation #connection #antarastudios

14.01.2022 My son has been lathering on the dad jokes thick and fast the last few days, and it always reminds of the beauty (and humour) in the simple things. Happy weekend! I hope it brings you something that makes you belly laugh. x

14.01.2022 OUR LOGO We’ve shared with you where our name comes from (a few posts back) and now would like to pay homage to our logo - after all, it’s a calling card for our offerings. In a respectable nod to tradition, our logo is a polished combination of two iconic symbols that represent the virtues of a mindful life practice: the eternally graceful lotus and the guiding hand of Ahimsa. ... At its heart, sits a triangle: not only a symbol of trinity (thought, feeling + emotion; past, present + future; body, mind + spirit) and a symbol of energetic gateway, but representative of what resides at our core - YOU. And as fate would have it, that triangle wasn’t a planned element - it was 100% organic! A natural culmination of good intention and karmic purpose. Sums up our ‘what’ pretty well, we think! #toowoombayoga #yogatoowoomba #toowoombapilates #pilatestoowoomba #toowoombameditation #meditationtoowoomba #antarastudios #logo #purpose #ahimsa #lotus

12.01.2022 YOUR WORDS Haven’t practised with us yet? Hanging out for the new studio?... Us too. But in the waiting, we practice anyway in a graciously borrowed space that works perfectly and highlights our adaptability: this is an opportunity to put our practice into practice, an opportunity to truly BE in any space. After all, WHY you practice, is still the most important reason to roll out your mat. Why wait, when today could be the start of something new? Here are YOUR words, about why you are attending our classes again and again - even in the ‘in between’ spaces: #toowoombayoga #yogatoowoomba #toowoombapilates #pilatestoowoomba #toowoombameditation #meditationtoowoomba #antarastudios #practicewithus #sangha

11.01.2022 Everything running as normal for the upcoming public holiday

10.01.2022 Movement is medicine and stillness cultivates peace ~ how lucky we are to have this practice which offers us what we need without asking for anything in return. Absolutely grateful. @becsisaacs... @morganjournal #yogatoowoomba #toowoombayoga #pilatestoowoomba #toowombapilates #meditationtoowoomba #towoombameditation #reformerpilatestoowoomba #antarastudios #lucky #grateful #toowoombasmallbusiness

10.01.2022 Resolutely, abide in good spaces. (Sthira sukham asanam) Anyone else relishing in the little gaps, right now? Taking in the space between the busy-ness? Or even better, making the breaks happen?... It can be challenging, to actively choose to step back or stay quiet; to re-prioritise, even. We’ve been a little quiet on here and I promise that we’re not absent or MIA - quite the opposite, to be honest. We’re practising what we teach; trying to consciously choose and appreciate the little rests, the pauses between the jobs or places or things; Trying to not feel into external pressures, not filling the feed with something - anything - just because it’s expected. And, it’s been so so good. Have you been able to step back? Have you been able to stop in between the things and just breathe? #rest #spaces #gratitude #peace #antarastudios #sthirasukhamasanam

10.01.2022 These last few weeks of the year are escaping us rather quickly (as they tend to do in the lead up to Christmas )... ... and as a result, it can be hard to keep ourselves ‘in the frame,’ to stay calm and organised, and to keep enjoying what we already have. Even when it feels near impossible and we feel that we’re getting swept up in the cyclone of busy-ness, we are taking regular pauses to practice gratitude and introspection in blissful stillness, listening to the soothing... reliability of our breath and surrounding ourselves with the people and doing the things that keep that little fire burning inside of us. We’ve made some teeny tiny changes to our timetable over the holiday period: this is a gentle reminder to please check our website or the WellnessLiving app for all the updates. There’s still plenty of opportunity to practice with us amongst the craziness! Find your grounding, feel it with the heart and mindfully move your way with us to the end of this seasonal cycle. A new one is just waiting for us on the other side! #antarastudios #wheredidtheyeargo

08.01.2022 MORNING PRACTICE Consistency in our practice is key in keeping our feet on the ground - each of our lives are filled with so many variables, we understand that sometimes making things work at all can be tricky enough. Can’t make our evening classes? Try 9am! ... By practising in the morning, you’re able to set an intention that moves with you throughout the day. Your mat-time is an anchor point from which the rest of the day will float. Morning practice also enables you to shift the brain fog and find mental clarity while giving your circulatory and immune systems a boost EARLY. Get ahead in your day by taking an hour for yourself. The rest of the world will wait. Our 9am classes are: Monday - Hatha Yoga Tuesday - Mat Pilates Wednesday - VinYin Yoga Thursday - Mat Pilates Friday - Vinyasa Yoga Saturday (9.15am) - Slow Flow Yoga And while we’re talking and planning for more morning practice, we’d love to know - what time of the morning would you love to see appear on the timetable?

We continue to ask that if you are showing ANY signs of illness to PLEASE stay home. The health and safety of our community is of utmost important to us and as such, all... of our COVID protocols will continue to remain in place unless otherwise directed. If you have any questions, please reach out. We’ll keep you posted if anything changes. #covidsafe #safetogether #antarastudios #toowoomba #toowoombabusiness #yogatoowoomba #pilatestoowoomba #meditationtoowoomba

07.01.2022 Ah.... patience. Our beautiful new studio is arriving shortly. To make sure that some of the important elements are spot on, it’s taken a little extra planning..... but IT’S GO TIME! We’re ever grateful and extremely proud to be working with Lavish Constructions Pty Ltd and StruXi Design in bringing this dream to life. ... It’s all about to get SUPER exciting!

07.01.2022 This is a line that has stayed with me for longer than I can remember. These words are SO much more than being about returning home after being away. Ram Dass was reflecting on collective human comradery in the pursuit of truly knowing ourselves. One in, all in. ... Giving is a growth process, a universal and cyclical phenomena.... when we give from the heart, without expectation of return, we end up receiving more than we can imagine. Sometimes the wisdom is clear from the outset and sometimes, time passes before we recognise it. And, some of the best exchanges are the simplest ones, especially when the ‘giver’ isn’t even aware of their own impact and generosity: your coffee hand-made by the barista, the drawings brought home by your kids, the door held open by a stranger, the high-five of a teammate, the laughter of a friend.... all those beautiful little things are actually the really big things in the end. Soak up how they make you feel. We don’t go through or make this life all on our own. What if every person you encountered today was playing a part in guiding you home; what if they were helping you re-frame who you really are? What if you were walking them home too? #ramdass #youareloved #youareneeded #walkingeachotherhome #perspective #kindness #give #antarastudios

06.01.2022 TUESDAY 6.45pm SLOW FLOW YOGA - BEGINNERS For those just starting their practice, the curious types and those whom are maybe returning after time away, we offer you a supportive, steady and delicious flow where we REALLY peel it back to beautiful simplicity. (We could all use that sometimes, right?!)... This regular class is designed for you to build the basics AND your confidence so that you can waltz into any class, when you are ready. YOUR FIRST STEPS towards: - inner peace - strength - mindfulness - flexibility - rejuvenation - clarity - balance - warm acceptance ....of your body, your mind AND your soul could be just one class away. We are privileged to share these first steps with you #toowoombayoga #yogatoowoomba #toowoombapilates #connection #antarastudios

06.01.2022 YES! WE HAVE MEMBERSHIP! Our Mat Class Membership is only $24/week for UNLIMITED mat classes.... Seriously good value from a financial standpoint if you’re coming (or hoping to come along) to mat classes twice or more a week. Infinitely wonderful value for your soul to turn up and practice something - anything - in a safe and accommodating space. (Membership holders are eligible for discounts on other class passes/workshop prices as they unroll ) Best bit? This is price is staying the same when we move into our new home where there is more open space, delicious infrared heating, beautiful facilities, inspiring and inviting teachers AND more classes (keep watching, as some of them might be appearing sooner than you think)! Say yes to embodying your own experiences; say yes to sharing with like-minded souls and say yes to nurturing your ojas with practices that support your heart and bring happy to your eyes. See our live timetable, T’s&C’s, and sign up on the website www.antarastudios.com.au, or, send us a message, just come along - whatever works for you: we’d love to help you out. #yogatoowoomba #toowoombayoga #pilatestoowoomba #toowoombapilates #meditationtoowoomba #toowoombameditation #antarastudios #ojas #watchthisspace #toowoombasmallbusiness

05.01.2022 Yoga is not a box we fit in, nor is it a designer package that meets all of our preferences. Quite the opposite, it’s a dynamic, living experience of waking up and stepping outside our preferences to make our stories, the story. We mess around with limiting our projections onto the others and the world around us. I’ll see you along the muddled and fierce path of staying OPEN, the place we refrain from me vs you, us vs them, like vs dislike. To pause in the space between ou...r duality and the need to make right or wrong is where we grow. Remaining in the spaces in between. @janetstoneyoga #yoga #spaceinbetween #internal #atheart #antara #antarastudios #yogatoowoomba #pilatestoowoomba #meditationtoowoomba

04.01.2022 Happy Diwali! The ‘festival of lights’ or ‘row of lamps’ is a Hindu celebration stretching way back to the Ramayana, and is now considered to be one of the most important and joyous celebrations of the Hindu year. Spanning over five days, the celebration begins with the most important ritual of cleansing the home and person, followed by lights, candles, lanterns, bright clothing, flowers, henna painting, meal sharing, praying and dancing. The goddess Lakshmi and her adoptiv...e son Ganesh are worshipped during this celebration as Diwali ultimately celebrates the victory of LIGHT OVER DARKNESS; GOOD OVER EVIL; KNOWLEDGE OVER IGNORANCE. While I, and many of you, are not of Hindu origin, the meaning of Diwali is universally understood and my intention is to respectfully nod to the roots of our practice. Collectively, as people who practice or participate in yoga, our intention is to ‘lighten up’ or purify by means of unifying body, mind and spirit; our intention is to lift the veil of ignorance to see and share the light. When we experience darkness, big or small, we innately seek the light of clarity, love and wisdom from those sages or teachers before us, those around us, and from within..... we look to welcome warmth into our homes and hearts after we have cleansed ourselves of the shadow. This celebration of realisation, of unity, is Diwali. Wherever you are, I hope that today you also find heartfelt celebration, liberation and radiance. #antarastudios #diwali #yogatoowoomba #unity #community #celebration #tradition #festivaloflight

01.01.2022 We’ve been away soaking up the gorgeous spring sunshine and salty sea air. Perfectly therapeutic, on all kinds of different levels... here’s a small glimpse of how our attraction to the sea is ingrained in traditional practice: In yoga, we practice sama vritti pranayama (even waves) where we liken our breath to the gentle pull of the water in and out of the shoreline. Hindu tradition holds the ocean waters in the highest regards, for it is where the gods extracted... Amrita, the elixir of life. And, the Bhagavad Gita assimilates the ocean to our Truest Nature: it is an ocean that is unaffected by the many rivers and streams that runs into its body. .......the sages centuries before us have gifted some truly incredible knowledge and tools.... Mindful movement and meditation brings the ocean into our everyday: practical and relatable ways of making steps towards our own calm, finding our own grace; an opportunity to reframe and rebalance. Our Monday offerings to support you: 9.00am Hatha Yoga 5:30pm Slow Flow Yoga 6.45pm Yin Yoga No booking required, just head on in when you feel the calling. #toowoombayoga #yogatoowoomba #toowoombapilates #pilatestoowoomba #toowoombameditation #meditationtoowoomba #antarastudios #magnetism #ocean #tradition #takemetothesea
