25.01.2022 Have you ever tried any of these energetic clearing practices? Most of these are on my list to clear spaces along with diffusing essential oils! How about these Gratitude rituals? For me, gratitude is one of the many daily practices that help me to gain a better perspective and to shift my mindset to be able to appreciate the ample richness of my life and all I have been afforded. I feel grateful and blessed every single day to do what I do, to be able to freely express my ...truth, to be healthy in body, mind and soul and to move around this world with relative freedom. These are not to be taken lightly as so many people do not have these advantages. I encourage you to do some of these gratitude suggestions below. You might be surprised at what you discover. (photo credit: @ bloomflowerremedies) Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didnt learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didnt learn a little, at least we didnt get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didnt die; so, let us all be thankful. Buddha

25.01.2022 If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s the ability to see what is truly important to us and where we want to continue investing our precious time and energy moving forward As we begin to move into a New Year, do we really want everything to go back to how it used to be? Maybe, we could look at our new reality as a new standard of care for ourselves and for others to uphold, instead of being caught up in a wheel of never ending stress and busyness. Have we finally realised that... we need to stop glorifying being busy? - Maybe we could check in on each other more often? - Maybe we could ask our nearest and dearest if they’re really ok? - Maybe we could offer up small acts of kindness to everyone? (not just your closest family and friends) - Maybe we could slow down? (as an act of rebellion in this fast paced consumerist society), and we could promise to nurture our souls needs and desires in order to be more in our truest alignment. If attending a gorgeous yoga retreat in a spectacular setting has been on your bucket list for a while now, perhaps I can recommend this absolute gem of a location where we will be retreating in May 2021 in Byron Bay for 5 nights of paradisaical bliss. The land here is charged with vital energy, so it is the perfect spot to inspire your practice, for spiritual transformation and for the nourishment of your body and soul. My promise to you is that you will experience a retreat tailor-made specifically for your need to recharge, relax and realign yourself with your souls purpose. My vision for you is to see you thrive when your health is being nurtured and your well being is a priority. Set amoungst the most glorious backdrop of tropical trees, lush bush land, natural wild life and nature noises, your soul will be soothed as we practice together, surround ourselves in community and eat delicious and nutritious food and all in a setting that will remind you of your days spent in Bali lounging around your villa pool. My promise to you, is that you will come away with a complete central nervous system reset. We will actively pursue all the ways to slow down and push pause on your anxiety. I will invite you to rest in stillness within yourself so you can experience first hand the sense of inner peace and clarity that can arise from within. There are five cheeky spots left on this once in a lifetime retreat experience. Leave a comment below if you’ve come away on retreat with me before... #bluegreensanctuary #byronbay More info: https://hathayogasydney.com.au/byron-bay-retreat/

24.01.2022 FREE Yin Yoga is back this coming Wednesday April 22 from 7-8.30PM. If you are needing to unravel from stress, tension and tightness and connect more into your body and less with the worrying thoughts in your head, then I invite you to partake in the offering this week. We will enquire more into stillness and "be-ing" on the mat and allow everything to come up (emotions, fear, joy, whatever is there) and flow with the present moment in complete acceptance of the NOW and what ...that may have to teach us. I'd love for you to join me. Invite your nearest and dearest and please register for the class at the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us//tZYtde-vqT0jGdNSJjqRVh4MfFkU6tJi9 See you there!

23.01.2022 Don't forget Hatha Yoga Sydney is small, intimate and an ideal venue for hire. If you have an appropriate event coming up and need a central location, please feel free to connect. More details here: https://hathayogasydney.com.au/studio-hire/

23.01.2022 My lovely friend and colleague Kate Dixon invited me to join her as her guest on her podcast The Very Essence...

Phew! You know, just your regular D&M conversation.... Check out the link below... https://podcasts.apple.com//episode-32-ondin/id1475444066

20.01.2022 A quick message to let you know that all classes are running as normal this Australian Labour Long Weekend, so you can still get your Yoga on! Enjoy the weekend... Namaste ... www.hathayogasydney.com.au/timetable

19.01.2022 Happy New Year my lovely community of yogis! I hope you had a delicious break over the Christmas holidays and are getting ready to roll out your mats for more yoga wisdom in 2021. Watch out for my "Welcome to 2021" newsletter which will drop tomorrow morning and will include some exciting changes to the timetable plus new teacher energy, some pricing adjustments and another luxurious Restorative class for January.... The first class back at the studio will now be on Sunday 10 January for the 9.30AM class. This has been amended from the previously stated start date of Friday 8 January. Apologies for any inconvenience and don't forget we all still need to book in for classes, especially Sunday mornings. I can't wait to see you all back, refreshed, reset and rearing to Downward Dog! I've missed you all (but also enjoyed some amazing time off) I'll see some of you this Sunday 10 January at 9.30AM sharp.

19.01.2022 Live-Streaming classes started today! So exciting (and a little nerve-wracking)... Yoga in the time of the Zombie Apocalypse #yogafromhome #lunchtimeyoga #moveyourbody #breathe #slowdown #recalibrate

18.01.2022 GREAT NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT!! Hatha Yoga Sydney will RE-OPEN on Sunday 14 June for the morning class starting at 9.30AM. I am beyond excited to announce that the NSW Government just announced an easing of restrictions for fitness and dance studios! Which I'm assuming is us given the vagueness of it all... (See post below).... In-house numbers at the studio will be capped at 10 to begin, so you will need to book in if you'd like to attend the studio in person so I can keep a count of numbers. Live steaming will continue moving forward, so you will have the opportunity to continue practicing at home if that is more convenient for you and if the in-studio class becomes full. I'll be sending out an email in the next 24-48 hours with all relevant and updated information for the re-opening of the studio. I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU ALL IN THE FLESH AND BLOOD AGAIN. I'm doing a happy dance as I type!

18.01.2022 Who needs more support with their health this year? Are you ready to embrace a more natural way of living? Where health, vitality, energy and high vibes are your new way of being? If so, then I'd love to introduce you to these powerfully pure essential oils that are able to help improve your physical, emotional and mental wellness.... The power of nature's plants are often deeply underestimated in our culture. We place more trust in drugs and pharmaceuticals than in the incredible plants that Mother Earth provides us in our very own back yard. Where did this disconnection come from? I know I have some theories around this, but lets start a conversation so we can learn, find solutions and support one another with more ease and grace on this life journey. Part of my yoga training saw me study and learn about the ancient Indian system of health, Ayurveda, which is over 5,000 years old, and full of incredible plant healing wisdom. In this casual class, we will come together to chat about what essential oils can do for you and how you can incorporate them into your life easily and effectively... What are they exactly? . How do they work in your body? The power of smell and memory, the limbic brain and how and why essential oils can help. I'll also show you how you can replace many of your over the counter pharmaceuticals with these bottles of potent essential oils to create an even better outcome for some of your minor ailments; headaches, insomnia, digestive issues, relaxation, stress, energy, muscular aches and pains...safely, effectively and cheaply . This class is for you if you are a little dubious, unsure, a sceptic, naysayer or doubter! You are welcome. Lets begin a discussion where we listen to each other and seek to understand. Then together, we can create solutions to your problems Im here to listen and support you.. Id love to see you there #plantmagick #essentialoils #doterra #naturessolutions THURSDAY 23 JANUARY @ 7.30PM https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/reconnect-with-mother-earth

18.01.2022 Morning everyone. Just a little reminder that the final class of the year will be tomorrow evening (Tuesday 15 December) from 6.15-7.30PM. In case of any confusion, I had originally stated that the last class would be on Wednesday morning (16 December), however, due to unforeseen circumstances, I've had to cancel that class. Thanks so much for your understanding.... If I don't see you either at tonight's class or tomorrows classes, please stay safe and have a wonderful break over Christmas and New Year's and I'll see you back on the mat for more yoga fun in 2021! Don't forget that if you still feel like your yoga fix over the holidays, I have a "bundle" of pre-recorded videos available for purchase. This bundle has 10 classes of varying time lengths, a Meditation audio, a Yin class, general classes and a few more awesome surprises. Here's the link if you want to check it out: https://hathayogasydney.com.au/products-video-yoga-practic/

18.01.2022 Sunday Practice Vibes

18.01.2022 All classes ON as usual over the Easter Weekend lovelies. I know most of you wont be going away, so if you are still keen to practice, come join me! Easter Friday (7.15-8.15AM), Easter Sunday (9.30-10.45AM) and Easter Monday (7.30-8.45PM). Billie cant wait to see you there.

17.01.2022 I love this quote so dearly. Its brilliant simplicity is not surprising given it comes from the sage and wise teachings of the great Buddha. And it is of course, so very true. Truth is not a currency we value very deeply, and its definitely not something we often adhere to in our current time in history. In politics, relationships and in our work environments, we litter our conversations with big little lies. We do it so seemingly unaware and with such ease, we barely stop ...Continue reading

17.01.2022 RESTORATIVE YOGA CLASS Wednesday 2 December 6.30-8.30PM I have just 3 spots remaining for this luscious 2-hour Restorative Yoga practice this coming Wednesday.... We will be hugging bolsters, moving like snails, staying on the floor and allowing our bodies to deeply rest and recover so that our central nervous systems can come into homeostasis. This class is for you if you are feeling weary, exhausted, burnt out or just need some extra special TLC to get you through until the Christmas Holidays. We will restore your energy levels through deep rest and repose, so your body can re-calibrate and realign itself back into balance. I so hope you can join me for this class focused on your complete well being, as I'm feeling that this is an essential practice for some of you right now. You can purchase one of the last 3 spots here: https://hathayogasydney.com.au/restorative/ Let me know if you have any questions.

16.01.2022 That's right! There's nothing you ever need to prove, to anyone, anything or even to yourself, so please stop driving yourself crazy doing this. It's never going to work because you are already deeply accepted and form part of this divine Universe. You are loved.

16.01.2022 Last Saturday, some of us retreated for the day in lovely North Narrabeen in the Northern Beaches. The cloudy forecast turned into the most stunning day and we had the most idyllic setting overlooking the lovely lake and resting within a bubble of nature. We came together to mark the end of a year of massive change, to rest our bodies, minds and spirits and to look ahead into 2021 with hope in our hearts for a renewed and more aligned life for ourselves. My hope was for us al...l to have left a little lighter of load than when we arrived... spending time with an aligned community is so rejuvenating, laughing with like minded friends so healing, practicing and breathing together so rewarding and eating nutritious and delicious food so nourishing for the soul. Maybe you can come to the next one in 2021? #idlershill #northnarrabeen #northernbeaches #yoga #1dayretreat

15.01.2022 Thats right! Theres nothing you ever need to prove, to anyone, anything or even to yourself, so please stop driving yourself crazy doing this. Its never going to work because you are already deeply accepted and form part of this divine Universe. You are loved.

14.01.2022 The Breath. What don't you know about how to breathe? Let's talk about how a specific type of breath can help with your anxiety.

14.01.2022 Ok. Here we go... Im offering a Meditation/Yoga Nidra class on Tuesday 18 August @ 7.30PM Its about time, right? Things are ramping up and so are we! Could you all do with some central nervous system relaxation and melting into a puddle of divine calm?... Let me guide and help you into a bubble of bliss for this lush hour dedicated to your sanity and self care. Bookings are essential, so please comment below to confirm your attendance or email me at: [email protected] See you there! #selflove #selfcare #relax #rejuvenate #blissout

13.01.2022 This morning at Yoga class, I asked if anyone wanted to donate medical supplies to a local vet in Waterloo, My Vet Animal Hospital, as I was heading down there with urgent supplies they needed. These lovely folks are closing their business tomorrow and heading down south to help with the rehabilitation of Wildlife affected my these devastating fires. Thank you everyone who contributed. We rounded up $150 amongst just a few of us and I was able to purchase all the gauze pads, ...melonin dressings and conforming bandages from 2 pharmacies and take all the blankets and towels from a $2 shop. We did well! Special shout out to the Discount Drug store on Redfern Street, who donated the Melolin dressing pads and conforming bandages for free once they knew where I was taking them... Keep your hearts open everyone. This is the time we come together to perform miracles large and small. Humanity is good, gracious, kind and compassionate and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If anyone is local to the Redfern, Alexandria or Waterloo areas, please get down to My Vet Animal Hospital on Bourke street to donate before 1PM today. They are heading down south this afternoon.

13.01.2022 If youre feeling confused about where to donate for the bushfires and who might need funds the most (there are so many incredible causes), I wrote this email newsletter to help provide some guidance... https://mailchi.mp/27e9f65d58b0/donations-for-bushfires Feel free to sign up to Hatha Yoga Sydneys newsletters here: www.hathayogasydney.com.au

13.01.2022 ANNOUNCEMENT There is no Monday evening class (8 June 7.30-8.45PM) tomorrow due to the long holiday weekend. Enjoy a well deserved night off. Classes resume back to normal on Tuesday 9 June.

12.01.2022 The lovely Joanne Sennitt will be hosting a Divine Women's Breathwork event at Hatha Yoga Sydney on November 17. Join Jo for an intimate breathwork session. Weaving our magic together with our sacred spirit, the process works to transmute our blockages and reveal our deepest desires. Bringing with you on the night your intention. Lets then see how far the breath will take you, you may go back to your childhood or to a past life where the core issue began.... Failing to address our trauma can manifest into illness and unhealthy habits. Breathwork can release this and assist in creating space for what we want to bring in to our lives. The outcome of breathwork varies. Some sessions result in cathartic healing, while others lead to you retrieving valuable insights or moving past egoic states to experience the pure bliss of transcendence. Join me to experience the truth of what poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning expressed, He who breathes deepest lives most. Cost is $60pp. Tickets can be purchased here: www.eventbrite.com.au/e/womens-breathwork-group-tickets-126

11.01.2022 Exhale. Unwind. Restore. Renew. Join Wendy Millyard on Saturday 28th March from 3-5pm for the next in the "Soul Saturdays series of monthly Saturday afternoon Restorative Yoga workshops. Restorative yoga provides a gradual, inward journey to a relaxed, centred and more grounded state of being. The practice creates the possibility for the body to relax from "doing" and for the mind to relax from thinking, which in these unprecedented times of worry and uncertainty is what w...e could all benefit from. Restorative yoga is a deeply calming and nurturing way to prioritise your self-care, boost and protect your immunity and help to maintain calm and clarity. This practice differs from yin yoga such that rather than seeking a sensation of stretch or effort, it aims to remove any effort or physical sensation whatsoever. In restorative yoga, the body is completely supported by props (bolsters/blankets/yoga blocks) whilst lying down in longer-held postures of quiet stillness. This deeply nourishing 2-hour workshop allows time for the nervous system to balance, the mind to settle into evenness, the breath to deepen and for there to be an experience of spaciousness. Shift out of fight or flight mode and drift into rest and digest mode. Date: Saturday 28th March 2020 Time: 3.00pm - 5.00pm Venue: Hatha Yoga Sydney, Suite 6/15 Woodburn St, Redfern NSW 2016 (5 mins walk from Redfern station, unmetered on-street parking) Investment: $45 per workshop N.B. Places are limited to 6 only; bookings essential. *Please note that due to guidelines surrounding Covid 19, you will be required to bring 1-2 of your own towels to cover any props used, and ideally your own mat if you have one. *Please rest assured that we are taking all precautions necessary to keep props, surfaces etc clean. Hand sanitiser is provided at the studio and we encourage you to follow all of the NSW Department of Health Guidelines around hand-washing etc. *Please do not come to class if you feel unwell or have come into contact with someone who you know has the virus. For more information and to book: www.wendymillyard.com

11.01.2022 YOGA-PUNCTURE CLASS Saturday 7 March 11AM - 12.30PM With so much happening in the world today, (think US Democratic primaries and looming election, bushfire and wildlife crises and of course all the craziness that is ensuing with the big C virus!), I feel we all may need a little check in and check out session of Yoga & Acupuncture to keep things very much in perspective!... It is indeed easy to allow ourselves to be swayed by the mass hysteria, however I urge you to stay grounded in your practices (yoga, breath-work, meditation, acupuncture etc.) and continue to create opportunities to remain open hearted, loving, kind, compassionate, stress free and balanced and calm in your responses. This is a gentle reminder that tomorrow's awesome class still has spots available if you need some decompressing and recalibrating from all the bedazzling events currently underway to test our humanity to the core. This class is a combination of these two ancient art forms (Yoga & Acupuncture) which both align beautifully with the natural rhythms of the world around us and our bodies-minds. This practice will be doubly powerful and will help rejuvenate, calm, ground and release tension and tightness physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually... ...These practices remind us that true wisdom is found within us if we slow down enough to listen... FYI: This is the perfect introduction if you've never had Acupuncture before. Tickets: https://hathayogasydney.com.au/yin-pin-class/

Please register your interest here: https://us02web.zoom.us//vpEld-yqqjkin9gwZB_2ie2Bvx3d4WxVNw ... Yoga Nidra is a deeply nurturing, relaxing and remarkable practice designed to activate the Parasympathetic nervous system or relaxation response in the body. If you are affected by stress and anxiety or carry tension and tightness in your body, then the practice of Yoga Nidra could be a special practice for you to discover, because not only does it have the ability to enhance memory and increase your ability to learn, it also has the potential to improve your physical and mental health and wellbeing by increasing energy levels, healing endocrine imbalances and relieving muscular, emotional and mental tension. Feel free to share this link with any family and friends who could benefit from this class. Let's take care of our minds during this time too, so we can continue to project positivity, hope, light and high vibes... Looking forward to seeing you all there.

06.01.2022 Come a little closer, open your hearing sense and lean into the following... Moving from one year to another is really moving from one day to another in linear time (which is really just a concept, nothing more), so New Year's Resolutions are (for me) a little pointless. If you know what you need to change within yourself to create a profound change, don't wait around for New Year's to make a commitment, do it now! The world is in desperate need of warriors... warriors who a...re dedicated to radical honesty, warriors who can speak their truth in the face of adversity, warriors who fight with peace in their hearts, warriors with integrity, warriors of light, warriors with love and compassion in their hearts. The transformation needed within each one of us will occur when we all take full responsibility for our lives, drop the blame, the shame, the judgement and criticism and reach deep into the depths of our soul to discover what it is she is calling us to do. If you are not listening, you'll jump on someone else's bandwagon and end up mis-aligned with your souls longing, creating all kinds of rocky road misadventures along the way. We need to awaken to our unconscious behaviours, to the addictions that keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns of co-dependency, to the actions that create extreme reactions all bound and chained in unconscious cycles of ancestral blue prints. Is this not the work? To free ourselves from our limited past, from the outdated and unhealthy mind sets and programming we inherited and received from our parents, guardians and teachers, but that are not really ours to claim at all? Are we not really here to evolve? The time is ripe. "You are here to awaken to your true Nature, your soulful self and live as that true nature here in physical form. Our problem as humans, isn't that we are inadequate, wrong or broken, our problem is that we believe we are. This fundamental misconception underlies every other problem, dysfunction and pain that we have". (Dr. Sue Morter). Now is the time to begin, to begin to be more conscious, aware and awake. Now is the time to stop addictive behaviours that don't serve you and are sabotaging you from living your best life. And now is the time to make different choices, so you can learn to ultimately live with more peace, compassion and love within your heart.

05.01.2022 Last week was a magical time spent away on retreat for 5-days at this stunning location @bluegreensanctuary in Byron Bay. In the lap of luxury, we rested, rejuvenated and restored after what has been a challenging year for us all. Our souls took respite and we practiced with intention and allowed joy to be our goal. Looking into my crystal ball , there seems to be another retreat on the horizon at this special place in 2021. Watch out for the email newsletter coming your way... soon!

04.01.2022 I have been learning and teaching yoga for 15 years now. It is not simply a practice for me, it is a lifestyle. One which I live, breathe, create and honour every single day. I feel blessed that yoga chose me. I had no idea what was about to unfold when I spontaneously quit my job working as a sound engineer in Madrid and decided to spend the summer in Granada at an Ashram learning more about Yoga. My journey has been a long, slow, winding road made up of scriptured teachings..., inner learning's, discovering who I really am without the masks and misgivings and the undoing of all my ancestral blueprints that do not serve me. I am still deep in the journey, uncovering more and more each day... going deeper, healing wounds and expanding into more of the person I am at a soul level. This is my life's work and what I feel called to do. I am dedicated to doing this for myself and helping others who are also ready for the great inner journey of exploration. Until Friday July 31, my Holistic Spiritual Teaching sessions are reduced. If you'd like to grab one at this most excellent rate, please do so at the following link: https://hathayogasydney.com.au/holistic-life-coaching/ Please let me know if you have any questions.

I put together some practices for specific physical issues in PDF form and also created a "Bundle" which comprises of 10 practice videos, PDF practices (Lower back pain, Hip openers, Stress & Anxiety), a Meditation & Yoga Nidra Audio and a Meditation eBook. Practice with me whenever you want from the comfort of your own home, while you're away for the weekend or needing a break from wo...rking at home etc. Now you can have me pop up in your lounge room (or anywhere) whenever you want!

04.01.2022 ... All classes are continuing to run as normal... I believe we are living in unprecedented times, so it is easy to feel overwhelmed, vulnerable and a little lost. This is of course normal and natural... we are collectively going through a challenging time. For me, this is a perfect example of just how we are all connected as a global community/family. As hard as we try sometimes to remain as individuals making our way in the world, it is moments like these that really highli...ght just how connected we all really are. We cannot "do" anything without others being affected in some way by our actions large or small and this is a great lesson to remember... So as Brene Brown mentioned in a recent post of hers (image below is also hers), we could all choose to "stay well together". We are all responsible for not only helping and supporting ourselves and our loved ones, but for helping our fellow men, women and children who may need your care, attention and non-judgement, because fear (like any emotion) is contagious. So let's spread compassion, love, open heartedness and light and let people "catch" that instead. I am choosing to breathe deeply into the unknown, and trust in my firm foundational roots by staying balanced, grounded and centred. I hope you will join me... Move gently during this period incorporating deep, gentle breathing and meditation into your day and please maintain positive social networks. Let us all expand and open rather than tense and contract. Let's remember to trust in ourselves and humanity... Hatha Yoga Sydney remains positive and committed to delivering yoga to you in the safest and healthiest space possible. Let the studio be your sanctuary at this time. I have made just a few adjustments as extra precautions: 1). While there are antiseptic essential oils in the mat sprays at the studio, and all mats are cleaned after each class, please feel free to bring your own mat if you feel more comfortable. 2). At this stage, I am removing all the eye pillows from the studio, so please bring your own if you have one. 3). We will provide DIY hand sanitiser at the studio for all students to use 4). Look out for each other, be understanding and kind Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to your continued presence at the studio.

03.01.2022 What a week it has been! Having to close my beloved studio's doors for the first time and pivot within 24-hours to streaming the timetable live on-line. To say I feel blessed that I have this opportunity and possibility is an understatement. I also feel so incredibly grateful to my community and tribe for being so amazing, showing up (even from interstate and overseas) and supporting me during this time by continuing to practice with me.... It's a little lonely at the studio teaching on my own and I miss you all like crazy. But here is to adaptability, change and impermanence. Three things I am constantly banging on about in class. This is the time to practice what I preach! You guys are the best and I love you with all my heart. I mean look at you... I love your home practice rooms so much #support #gratitude #community #joyinatimeofgreatchallenge

02.01.2022 FREE Meditation & Yoga Nidra is back this Wednesday 29 April @ 7.30PM. Come join me to Meditate together with other like-minded seekers of calm, peace and internal harmony. According to Dr. Joe Dispenza... "we know that peace gathering events like our global meditation can positively influence the rate of crime, terrorism, violence, and car accidents as well as stimulate economic growth."... We can raise our vibration through Meditation because we are all energetic beings. We can gather together and create what Joe calls ' Heart Coherency", which means we can affect each other's energy's and lift each other up and create fields of love and compassion all stemming from the powerful vibrations of the heart. "Since we are linked by a collective field of consciousness and energy, and we are made of particles photons and electrons, to name a few that means what one person does has the potential to impact us all. So, when we focus our energy and surrender to an elevated emotion like gratitude or love with the intention the thought for the greatest good of all, we are actually creating that reality for ourselves and for others at the exact same time". Now that's something incredible to work towards, don't you agree? Invite your friends to come along to raise their vibrational frequency to project healing, compassion and love back into the world. Here's the link to join: https://us02web.zoom.us//tZEud--rrTIjE9Lpj9N9qjgNsSDTybrSa OM
