22.01.2022 Trying to work out if I find this meal ugly or not but it WAS delicious and SUPER easy to prepare: chopped steamed purple sweet potato, canned corn, sliced cucumbers, avocado, #vegan #kimchi and deep-fried #tofu, chucked in a bowl with some coconut #sriracha and sesame oil on top. #buddhabowl #lazyvegan #asianvegan #yum

21.01.2022 @meowlikecat Mel’s #yinyoga class tonight was something SPECIAL.

20.01.2022 Sonny and Cher, Propellerhead and Shirley Bassey, Deb and Yours Truly. Who doesn’t love a good musical collab? We love them here @bija_yoga and apparently you punters do too! Our last Yin and SONIC workshops (sublime #yinyoga sequences, reflective readings and me being the David Jones lobby pianist of your dreams) with @debmetal and @loren.nixon14 have completely sold out in the past AND had waiting lists! This time COVID restrictions limit our capacity even further hence no...t ONE but two ‘gigs’ next Saturday. We hope you can make it YIN to the studio (I truly apologise), and then float back out https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/yinsonic-summer-10am-editio https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/yinsonic-summer-4pm-edition #yogamusic #yogawithprops #yogaforeverybody #penrith #bija See more

20.01.2022 Okay yes punters we have ‘officially’ sold out for loren_nixon14's ‘Summer of SELF Love’ workshop tomorrow. However, now that restrictions have eased, we can squeeze a couple more folx in but only if you ask me nicely via email [email protected]. #yinworkshop #yinyoga #summerofselflove #selfcare #bijayoga #yogapenrith #westernsydneyyoga

20.01.2022 Y’all think Friday 13th is scary? Well fancy being a factory-farmed animal and being raised - without parents! - for human consumption! I’m sorry I went there but I’m not sorry about consuming this GIANT #vegan Kingston biscuit made for Yours Truly by @meowlikecat because I recently confessed that I missed Kingston biscuits since going to the plant-side. It’s becoming easier and easier to live/eat this way. And trust me, it’s also SUPER fun to find and make vegan alternatives to your favourite foods. #ahimsa #notjustasana #vegandesserts #YUM

18.01.2022 After getting thru a huge year, @bija_yoga deserved an early Christmas present: a robo mop! This will also give our dedicated cleaners - yours truly and @debmetal @yogayosemite - a little lower back relief in the coming year #automated #cleaning #yogastudio #penrith #westernsydney #westernsydneyyoga

18.01.2022 We at @bija_yoga want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for staying connected with us IN STUDIO and ONLINE. In many ways it’s been a very difficult year, but dare I say, not without its blessings. In fact there have been MANY blessings including being given the gift of clarity to appreciate what we genuinely hold dear and what we never really needed. However we are made to do it - whether face-to-face or online - let’s be as present as we can for one another, for our presence is the greatest gift we can give. #presence #strangetimes #adaptability #uponreflection #yoga

17.01.2022 Yin and SONIC is selling quickly punters and I for one cannot wait to add that extra live-music element to @debmetal @yogayosemite Summer-focused #yinyoga sequence. The music has been specially curated to accompany the sequence and Deb’s beautiful readings. No experience of yin - or any kind of yoga for that matter - necessary. Bookings absolutely essential. You have two options to choose from: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/yinsonic-summer-10am-editio https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/yinsonic-summer-4pm-edition #yogamusic #yogawithprops #yogaforeverybody #penrith #yinandsonic

14.01.2022 Gotta love #ikea for making #vegan #plantbasedmeatballs for Yours Truly to get creative with. I shared this meal between workshops last week with @debmetal @yogayosemite. After years of eating/living this way, I still get excited about trying ‘new’ vegan things and encouraging companies to keep making them. #veganitalian #ahimsa #notjustasana #YUM #bestfood #delicious #eatwell #ahimsa #yogawayoflife

13.01.2022 Did you know that our @debmetal @yogayosemite has been working very hard completing her Graduate Certificate of Yoga Therapy? This is Deb’s SEVENTH training in yoga! The subject of #yoga is vast. Therefore you can never fully ‘arrive’ as a yoga teacher. And as we can only teach from what we know; it’s absolutely worth diving DEEP. We are PROUD of you Deb and look forward to taking your 6pm #beginnerlevelyoga and 730pm #yinyoga class ONLINE tonight. #penrith #westernsydney #westernsydneyyoga #svadhyaya #bijayoga

13.01.2022 Y’all know the saying right. We sometimes kind of say it in a patronising way, like we say "that’s THEIR bad #karma". Might be more helpful to think of karma as action pure and simple; of everything we do having some kind of flow-on effect. The more we’re conscious of what we’re doing, the more likely it is that we move forward with refinement instead of regretting the things we did or the people we hurt when we were rushing from A to B. I love the subject of karma. It’s universal and not only exists in spirituality but also in science. #notjustasana #teachjivamukti #8limbsofyoga #penrith #westernsydney #westernsydneyyoga

12.01.2022 NYE is the quiet and compassionate party of which you’ve always (secretly) dreamt! @bhakti.rose and yours truly will offer an uplifting way to end the year with a 730pm charity fundraising class for @pasaypups - a non-profit in my home country #Philippines, which serves human and non-human animals. 930pm is Silent Satsang: the studio is yours to rest, reflect and manifest until we bring in the New Year with 108 chants of #lokahsamastahsukhinobhavantu Places are limited for b...oth events and bookings are absolutely essential: 730pm NYE YOGA CLASS: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/nye-intention-setting-fundr 930pm NYE SILENT SATSANG: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/new-years-eve-silent-satsan #nye #consciousevents #notjustasana #penrith #westernsydney #westernsydneyyoga

08.01.2022 Sunday before last @meowlikecat Mel taught her classes (4pm #mixedlevelyoga OPEN and 530pm #yinyoga) completely without electricity; just the windows blasted open to the much-needed breeze. And yet Yours Truly had the very best practice I’ve had for weeks. Then Tuesday night @debmetal @yogayosemite had her #onlineyogaclasses cut off entirely due to the storm and there was nothing you beautiful @bija_yoga members could do except access past classes (thank you for your underst...anding). These events reminded me that really I’m very tiny in the grand scheme of things; that my ‘problems’ and even my ‘busyness’ are but a speck of dust in the workings of the world at large. And I’m grateful for that. https://bijayoga.com.au/classes/timetable/ #philosophy #yoga #notjustasana #penrith #westernsydney #westernsydneyyoga

08.01.2022 Your Monday 515pm mini class won’t be posted this week because Yours Truly is moving house and I’m not sure what the lighting is going to be like from the removalist truck... But don’t stress: if you’re a @bija_yoga member (and that’s the ONLY way you can access the classes) there are literally HUNDREDS of classes in the library for you to practice with whenever the heck you want. If you’d like to enquire about membership please email [email protected] #onlineyogaclasses #mixedlevelyoga #beginnerlevelyoga #yinyoga #penrith #westernsydney #westernsydneyyoga

07.01.2022 Use the ‘normal’ Friday night #restorativeyoga eventbrite for this Friday’s Very Mariah Xmas Pyjama Restorative. #jivamuktiyoga XL with @debmetal and yours truly and NYE with @bhakti.rose and yours truly eventbrites coming soon!! #notjustasana #payitforward #penrith #westernsydney #westernsydneyyoga

06.01.2022 If you’re joining us for NYE - and at this stage, we’re still going ahead - you’ll need to book for one or both events with yours truly and @bhakti.rose. @pasaypups will be the recipient of all the proceeds from the 730pm #intentionsetting class https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/nye-intention-setting-fundr https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/new-years-eve-silent-satsan... #nye #consciousevents #notjustasana #penrith #westernsydney #westernsydneyyoga

04.01.2022 I love that tired feeling you get after you work hard on a project and EVERYTHING works out beautifully. But truth be told, driving up to #VanamRetreat last Friday I wasn’t worried about a thing. Myself and all the punters were beautifully received and taken care of by our hosts from the moment we all arrived to our final (and slow) goodbye. TBH I wasn’t so camera-crazy on this little trip in #bluemountainsnsw paradise and when I did take pics, it was of the INCREDIBLE #veganfood (much of it grown on site). It meant a lot for me to create a unique and reflective experience for our punters and with the right support in Jeff and Andy, I believe WE DID IT! (Pic taken by BIJAN, Susan. Not pictured @bhakti.rose Katie who had to rush off to Zumba). #yogaretreat #awkwardfamilyphoto

03.01.2022 There are but a few spots left for Breathe Focus Relax next Saturday 21st at 10am. I LOVE this workshop as the focus is on the subtler practices of yoga; there are only 7 minutes of #asana physical postures in this class (to get the body awake and warm). The rest is #pranayama focused breathing, #meditation and guided #deeprelaxation. This is for anyone - regardless of level of experience - who would like to develop practices that may lead to sustained mental clarity and calm. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/breathe-focus-relax-worksho #penrith #westernsydney #westernsydneyyoga #selfcare #meditation #relaxation #pranayama

03.01.2022 Y’all have been so good about reaching out to me about this! AND about helping me solidify the delivery format (btw ALL of it will be @bija_yoga bar a small percentage online) when originally I created it as an intensive/ashram residential. Thing is, so much of the conception of the training is inspired by BIJA itself so ultimately it made TOTAL sense. Also punters, training could start as early as the July school holidays Info pack - with dates, requirements, investment etc. - coming beginning of March. #yogaeducation #music #mantra #sanskrit #selfstudy #knowthyself #transformation

01.01.2022 @carmen.gail will cover tomorrow night’s IN STUDIO and ONLINE #restorativeyoga class and @meowlikecat Mel will cover Saturday morning IN STUDIO #mixedlevelyoga OPEN class whilst Yours Truly is teaching Summer SOL at #VanamRetreat. Also there will be no 9am Monday class this Monday ONLY. #bijayoga #keeppracticing #openyogaclass
