21.01.2022 Each of us is special, having something to offer that is unique to this world. When we get to know ourselves, we can learn how to share that with the world and the people around us with all our strengths and vulnerabilities. This is about bringing awareness to how you feel, how you relate to yourself and others and what makes you y o u . It is about giving yourself full permission to be in your power and, from that space, align your choices and express your Self.... This and much more we will explore during my next Body Soul Workshop - Connect & Express on Saturday, 21 September 2019 from 2:30-5:00pm. Booking via: http://www.qiyoga.net/e/body-soul-workshop-connect-express/. I would love to see there!

21.01.2022 I hope you transitioned well into the new decade and are getting back into the swing of things. As we move through the first Full Moon in my sign Cancer, I would like to share my 2020 Manifesto and how you can expect to connect with me this year: ~ Work less, making more time for my personal life, my relationships & family. ~ Less screen-facing work, more working with people. ... ~ Less social media, more time spent studying (Gestalt Therapy). Instead of creating Instagram stories, I will dedicate my resources to my most important story yet - that is my life. ~ Less international travel than in 2019, more local adventures. Support & appreciation of local surroundings and communities to help them become strong & healthy again. ~ Less searching (online & offline), more gratitude for what is already there. ~ Less doing, more being. Keeping it simple and having fun. To align with that, I will be making some changes in the way I work and connect with you: ~ My Body Soul Workshops will be held quarterly, instead of monthly. The 2020 dates and topics are available on my website, www.joyoga.net. My class timetable will remain the same and is available on my website, too. ~ I will make more time available for one-on-one work, which can include any of the areas that I am qualified or currently training in: Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Reiki, Stress Management, Lifestyle, Wellbeing Coaching & Gestalt Therapy. ~ I will be less active on Facebook and Instagram. Instead, I would like to connect with you in person. I will continue to send out my JoYoga News, which will include information on upcoming events and all things that rock my world. You can sign up on my website, www.joyoga.net. I cant wait for an awesome year together. May 2020 bring whatever you long and are ready for.

21.01.2022 I hope you enjoyed this glorious weekend with lots of sunshine and good vibes Only 10 more days until I head to India for a month, however I am getting ready for a rich schedule with many offerings for you this week. I would love to see you on the mat!

21.01.2022 Have I got your attention? Great! ~ In my Functional Body Workshop on Sunday, we will discover the practice of yoga as a profound process and tool to support the healing of sciatica, which is the pain in your buttock and leg (either side) caused by pressure on or inflammation of your sciatic nerve. You are welcome no matter your age, level of experience or capability. ~...

19.01.2022 I remember a time in my life when I was depleted of any life energy, overworked, exhausted, fatigued, anxious and burned out. It was debilitating and affected the way I experienced myself and others. As you can imagine, this played out in many aspects of my life, including physical health, mental & emotional wellbeing, relationships, social life and work. The horrendous cycle of stress triggers and our behaviours/ patterns that we have built as a coping mechanism can easily k...eep us stuck in a life that is not aligned with our essence and our highest purpose (dharma). On Saturday, 26 October, 2:30-5:00pm we will be learning together about how to manage stress and how to return to your green zone, experiencing a deep sense of relaxation during the JoYoga Body Soul Workshop Restore & Rejuvenate at Qi Yoga in Freshwater. I hope you can make it! Meanwhile, be well. http://www.qiyoga.net//body-soul-workshop-restore-rejuven/

18.01.2022 Expansion & contraction - the key to growth and transformation ~ Have you ever noticed that, after you make a big change in your life or fully expose yourself, there is an urge to shrink back or retreat? Or that a period of feeling stuck or contracted in your life is followed by a period of expansion and growth? ~... Everything in our world is vibration, pulsing at different levels of frequency. And sometimes when we open up to something bigger in ourselves or life, the old has a tendency to try and return. ~ Remember that this is a natural movement of expansion and contraction, and that we can not lose anything that we have already found for ourselves. ~ The contraction will give space for expansion again as it is a part of growing. By tuning in to and moving with the pulsation of this energy in our bodies, we move closer to understanding our own true nature and the nature of life. Both states are natural elements of growth and the ebb and flow of our lives.

18.01.2022 Every moment is sacred Every breath is sacred Every smile is sacred Every tear is sacred Every feeling is sacred... Every word, every thought, every act is so sacred Every dream is so sacred. When we realise how sacred life is, we start recognising it for what it truly is. New doors begin to open. Inspiration: Marelle Kaelep

16.01.2022 This gentle Pisces Full Moon, also referred to as the Harvest Moon, holds the potential to be deeply transformative and illuminating. It is a sensitive one and may trigger unresolved or unexpressed emotions. We may feel deeply sensitive and attuned to the emotions of the world around us. It is important to be with the feelings that come up in a gentle and compassionate way. Acting out, turning away or numbing our emotions will be obscuring the most powerful tool we have ou...r intuition. We are asked to find healing and balance. All Full Moons offer the opportunity to let go and open a new door. Can you be okay with not knowing how it all fits together or how it is going to turn out? Sometimes we dont know where the story is leading. All we need to do is trust ourselves, the universe and our intuition. Control what you can and let go of the rest. Do your best and be well. x @mysticmamma @consciousreminder @foreverconscious

16.01.2022 The magnificent Taj Mahal at the very heart of India is not only one of the Seven Wonders of the world, it is also a living example of eternal love. It is the love story of Shah Jahan (Prince Khurram) and Mumtaz Mahal. ~ In 1607, when fifteen-year-old Prince Khurram was strolling down the royal Meena Bazaar, he caught a glimpse of a girl hawking silk and glass beads. It was love at first sight. The girl was Mumtaz Mahal, who at the time was known as Arjumand Banu Begum. Afte...r meeting her, Shah Jahan went back to his father and declared that he wanted to marry her. Five years later, in 1612, they got married. They spent the next 19 years together during which Shah Jahan named his beloved Mumtaz Mahal - the Jewel of the Palace. Later everyone thought that was her real name. Mumtaz Mahal was not only beautiful, she was also smart and tender-hearted. The public was enamored with her, in part because Mumtaz Mahal cared for the people, diligently making lists of widows and orphans to make sure they received food and money. ~ In 1631, Mumtaz Mahal gave birth to their 14th child (yep, thats right!), a healthy baby girl. At first, all seemed well, but soon she was dying due to some complications. In those last moments Shah Jahan asked his beloved: How can I prove my love to you? ~ You dont have to prove to me, she responded, I know how much you love me. However, if you wish to prove our love to the world, I ask you to fulfil three wishes: (1) do not remarry; (2) look after our family; and (3) create something of lasting value on my grave. ~ She died in his arms that morning and after a long period of mourning and grieving, Shah Jahan undertook the task of erecting the worlds most beautiful monument on her grave in the memory of his beloved. He never remarried and when he died in 1666, his body was placed in a tomb next to the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal. ~ #indiatravel #tajmahal #tajmahalindia #tajmahalpalace #eternallove #qiyogaretreat #qiyogaindia #yogaretreat #yogatravel @ Taj Mahal - Wonder of the world

15.01.2022 Just when I found myself in a low after a couple of overwhelming days, a friend of mine sent me this picture that was taken at the wonderful @buddhabar.au Conscious Warehouse Party. It made me smile. Just as the moon is waning and waxing, so are the circumstances of our life and our experience within that constantly changing and ever-evolving. Whilst this can be difficult to navigate at times, it comes down to this: remember your essence. At the core of your being, there is n...o doubt, fear or separation. Instead, at the core of your being there is freedom from all of that and an innate birthright to shine and feel joy. The practice is to return to that again and again. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Marianne Williamson

13.01.2022 I have been spending the last week in Rishikesh. My intention coming here was to take care of myself, restore my energy and absolutely nothing else. ~ I spent the week doing all the things that nourish and heal my body, mind & spirit and make me feel connected: sleeping and resting whenever I need and want to, meditating, yoga, cleansing & detoxing my body as I am into the sixth day of my Panchakarma treatment, wandering around with nowhere to go, spending time in nature, li...stening to favourite songs, reading books and talking to loved ones. ~ Having this time for myself felt weird at first. I caught my mind wanting to go into planning mode for 2020, but then I was reminded that this space is a gift given to me and important. ~ Only through slowing down and moving into stillness, I can come into my body and access the infinite wisdom that is available here. By connecting to my inner wisdom, I can align my choices and intentions with my deepest desires and full potential. A beautiful way to harness the energy of the last New Moon of the year as we move towards 2020...

10.01.2022 Christmas with my families of choice this year. So much gratitude for what is already here and yet more for what is to come. On that note, I would like to point you to the article attached about Navigating the holidays with an eating disorder that I was interviewed for by the lovely @notoriously_katherine a couple of weeks ago. It was meant to be published in Daily Life. However, sadly the editor got sick and was unable to upload it before Christmas. I know this is relev...ant. If you or anyone you know is affected, please reach out to me. I understand this area well and am happy to mentor. Thank you @thebutterflyfoundation and @notoriously_katherine for your effort and passion. x https://joyoga.net/navigating-the-holidays-with-an-eating-/

09.01.2022 To Hindus, the River Ganges (Mother Ganga) is not only a river - she is a Divine Mother. Ganga is not only water, she is nectar - the nectar of life and the nectar of liberation. In this picture I am about to float my candle and flowers down the river, offering my prayers and counting my blessings. Today I pray for rain and the winds to change. I pray for the Divine Mother to protect all that is precious. I send my blessings and love to all human beings, animals, trees and ...those who work relentlessly to protect us. Though far away today, Im home with my heart and hold you all in there x

07.01.2022 The land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendour and rags, of palaces and hovels, of famine and pestilence, of genii and giants and Aladdin lamps, of tigers and elephants, the cobra and the jungle, the country of hundred nations and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, cradle of the human race, birthplace of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of traditions, whose yesterday...s bear date with the modering antiquities for the rest of nations-the one sole country under the sun that is endowed with an imperishable interest for alien prince and alien peasant, for lettered and ignorant, wise and fool, rich and poor, bond and free, the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the world combined.

04.01.2022 Thank you to everyone back home in Sydney who contributed so generously and to Jane, Gopesh and Qi Yoga for making it all possible. My heart is still bursting - hopefully the video fills yours with joy, too.

01.01.2022 Knowledge is acquired. Truth is revealed. Wayne Liquorman Juna Mahal in Dungarpur - built in the 13th century, the old palace has been untouched since. Whilst the exterior architecture is in ruins, the interiors glow with underlying beauty, exuberant ornamentation and unshakable charm. Essence and true beauty revealed over time.

01.01.2022 I am about to head to Path of Love, once again volunteering in the very program that changed my inner and outer world in so many profound ways. ~ I am looking forward to turn inward, find stillness, reflect, learn, connect and come home.... ~ I will be recommencing all my classes at Qi Yoga on Friday, 23 August and will also hold my next Body Soul Workshop: Release & Reset with Josie on Saturday, 24 August.

01.01.2022 Today is my favourite day. Its Childrens Day in India and we went to the primary school in the village of Kasniyawad in Rajasthan, sharing three suitcases and two boxes full of gifts and donations with 328 children who could not have been happier...

01.01.2022 The fiery Aries Full Moon at 8:07am on Monday morning here in Sydney is going to confront the situations where we put blinders on. It is going to heat us up, creating internal transformation and sparking new desires to live with more/ new passion and fulfilment. If you have, like me, been feeling overwhelmed or anxious, this beautiful moon shining bright on the Sydney sky tonight is said to bring a huge release... What limitations have you been working with that are preventin...g you from moving forward? What thoughts or beliefs have been blocking your progress and standing in your way? As the moon shines so astonishingly bright tonight, we are encouraged to step into the same energy, expressing ourselves innocently, beautifully and yet in the most authentic ways. The shadows that may have been arising leading up to this Full Moon are an opportunity for self-awareness and personal growth. Aries is the leader, and we have to become the leader of our own lives and our own destiny. We carve out our future every day based on the actions we take, the thoughts we think, and the vibration we emit. Now is your time to burn. Inspiration: @mysticmamma @foreverconscious

01.01.2022 A place of great beauty, sublime peacefulness and shared humanity.
