25.01.2022 STRUCTURE VS. SPONTANEITY Yoga asana can be quite repetitive and routine - the same poses, in the same order, over and over again. Whilst some people strive on this kind of structure, I prefer constant change to keep things interesting Because yoga practice can be applied to daily life, this style applies to my work and lifestyle too. I like to use a basic framework or schedule as a guide, which is then flexible to last minute changes ... Knowing your own working style not only helps improve productivity, but can also determine how you implement other changes or habits to your lifestyle. For example, when making dietary changes, some people prefer a rigid meal plan to follow, whilst others may just want recommendations of portion sizes to guide their own choices What kind of style do you prefer? Do you need structure or are you a spontaneous creature? P.S. Yes, these pants passed the ultimate yoga flow comfort test

24.01.2022 ROASTED KALE, PUMPKIN & WALNUT SALAD Whoever says that salads are boring simply isnt doing it right... (Confession: I used to be one of those people! ) This salad ticks all the boxes with crunchy textures, satiating grains and high fibre seeds!... 1 bunch kale, chopped 4 cloves garlic 1/2 - 1 small Kent pumpkin, chopped into large chunks Extra virgin olive oil Parsley flakes 1 cup walnuts, roasted 1/4 cup quinoa, boiled 2 tbs hemp seeds 1. Add kale to lined baking tray. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle chopped garlic cloves over the top. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes or until slightly crispy. (Note: kale burns very easily, so be sure to check regularly!) 2. In separate baking tray, add pumpkin chunks, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle parsley flakes over the top. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes or until cooked through. 3. In separate pot, cook quinoa according to packet instructions (typically boiled in approximately 1 cup water). 4. Once kale, pumpkin and quinoa are cooked, mix together in salad bowl. Stir in walnuts and sprinkle hemp seeds to serve. This salad is high in protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, omega-3, omega-6 and dietary fibre, and can be served on the side or as its own meal. To make it a main dish, simply add an extra source of protein like tuna, chicken breast or tofu! (AC36) Full recipe here: https://www.lumaflow.com.au/roasted-kale-pumpkin-walnut-sa/

22.01.2022 TUNE OUT TO TUNE IN Take a break from all the noise and fear going on in the outside world, to tune in to whats going on in your internal self. This guided breath awareness meditation will help you tune out to tune into YOU.... Let me know if you try it and how you feel afterwards! ...

22.01.2022 First vinyasa flow in a long time, felt so good to do some strengthening poses and inversions again Since #workingfromhome I havent been in the mood to practise strong yoga classes - and thats okay. Its okay if youre not in the mood to workout or cook or even leave your couch or bed all day. Just sit with those feelings. Your body knows. It will guide you back on your way into a new normal when its ready. (Handstands are apparently far from normal for a long while yet )

21.01.2022 If you’ve been following my recent content, you’ll know I’ve been focusing a lot on SLEEP lately. Sleep is such a crucial part of well-being, yet so many people struggle to get enough of it or good quality sleep. In honour of World Sleep Day tomorrow (Friday, 19th March), I’ll be hosting a FREE live yoga and meditation class on my YouTube channel at 8pm! This 30-minute practice will help you unwind from the day and week to prepare your mind and body for rest.... Click the link below to set yourself a reminder and access the live video! See you then!! https://youtu.be/JmFg--qXyPQ

21.01.2022 HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR Wishing everyone good health and a prosperous year ahead! A reminder that there is no class on Monday, 27th January for the Australia Day public holiday. All other classes as usual

21.01.2022 LEMON & SEED CAKE When life gives you lemons, make lemon cake I have a history of making terrible baked goods, especially when I try to make recipes healthier or put a creative spin on them. Apparently dietitians have a higher tolerance for mediocre-tasting but healthy food, which is why I always test things on my family ... Its gotten to the point now where my family always look at my new creations with trepidation and low expectations This lemon cake I made a couple weeks back was met by this same dubiousness But... verdict was that it was good Recipe below 2 lemons, skin on and washed, boiled in pot with water for 1 hour or until soft 1 cup almond meal 1 cup plain flour 4 flaxseed eggs (4 tbs flaxseeds + 2 tbs water, let sit until set into gel) 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla essence 3 tbs slivered almond flakes 3 tbs pepita seeds 3 tbs roasted pine nuts 2 tsp ground cinnamon Method: Mix all ingredients except lemon in a separate bowl. Once soft, purée the lemon in a blender or food processor and add to the rest of the mixture. Transfer mixture to a lined baking tray and bake for 45-60 minutes at 180 degrees. This cake does take a bit of time to make (approx. 1 hour prep and 1 hour cook time). The end product though is a moist and dense loaf thats super high fibre and high in vitamin C! The seeds give a crunchy texture and are a great source of both soluble and insoluble fibre for gut health! Best served with vanilla ice cream or plain yoghurt to balance the acidity of the lemons Full recipe on the blog (https://www.lumaflow.com.au/lemon-seed-cake/) Remember to tag me here or on Instagram (@rikkyso) if you try it!

20.01.2022 In light of recent events, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend all group classes until further notice. As frustrating and disappointing as it is (this picture captures it all...), we want to ensure that everyone within our community remains safe and well by minimising risks as much as possible. From this coming Monday, 3rd August only private and small group classes will be available. Please contact us for further information or to book in a class.... All class passes will be put on hold again until group classes resume. There will be no live online classes for now but this may change depending on how long we are expected to close for... As the situation with COVID-19 is continually changing, please remember to check your emails as well as our Facebook page and live timetable for updates!

20.01.2022 SUNDAY STRETCH: EPISODE 4 - Downward Facing Dog This week we are breaking down one of the most common yoga poses: Downward Facing Dog. Down dog is a great pose to improve circulation and increase focus mentally. Physically, it can help to stretch and strengthen your arms, shoulders, upper back, lower back, hamstrings, calves and heels! When I first began practising this pose, I struggled with the tightness in my hamstrings, as well as lack of strength and shakiness in m...y shoulders! What do you struggle with most in this pose? Let me know in the comments! ... hamstring

19.01.2022 STRETCHES TO DO AT YOUR DESK Whether you’re back in the office or still working from home, we could all benefit from breaking up long periods at our desk. Even when you can’t afford to leave your desk, try these 5 stretches which you can do AT the table, in your chair, in front of the computer. They’ll help to release tension from your neck, shoulders, back and hips! ... Hold for 5-10 breaths each and repeat as often as you have time for!

19.01.2022 Box Breathing is a really good technique to help with stress release. It forces us to slow our breathing down, helping us to create space in the front of the body.

19.01.2022 FOOD IS NOT JUST FUEL Although food was once purely a source of fuel for survival, it is now so much more than that. We still eat to fuel but also to celebrate, comfort, catch up with friends... All of these things are just as significant when making food choices. ... As a dietitian, of course I believe the individual nutrients in foods are important. But I also believe feeding our soul is equally important. In my practice, I’m seeing more and more people become overly fixated on food and nutrition, which is having an opposite effect on their health Sometimes choosing foods purely for the taste and enjoying it in the moment is enough. What is the biggest factor when you make food choices?

19.01.2022 TIGHT HAMSTRINGS? Avoid this common misalignment when you’re stretching for more effective hamstring lengthening! A lot of students tend to focus too much on touching their toes or getting their nose to knee(s) when stretching their hamstrings that they end up rounding their back to reach forward. Is this you? ... For a safer and more effective stretch, try keeping your knees bent! Focus on maintaining a flat back for a more active hamstring stretch and to protect your lower back. Was this helpful? Tag or share with someone who would benefit from this!

17.01.2022 3 WAYS TO STAY ON TRACK DURING CHRISTMAS The holiday season can be fairly stressful when never ending Christmas parties threaten to upend all your hard work towards your health goals! But it doesn’t have to be that way. Try these 3 tips to keep you ‘on track’.... Remember: Christmas is a time for celebration with family and friends, even if it’s just through small gatherings or FaceTime or phone calls this year. Focus on enjoying the company you can keep rather than stressing over your food choices

17.01.2022 STRESS & SELF CARE Often stress is a signal that an emotional, spiritual or physical need hasnt been met. From a mental health perspective, we know the detrimental effects of long term stress. From a dietary perspective, I discussed earlier this week the risk of relying on food as a coping mechanism (the disconnection from our hunger signals, increasing the likelihood of overeating, whilst still not solving the underlying causes of stress...). Apart from knowing your trigg...ers and symptoms of stress, its even more important to know how to manage or prevent it - and self care is a great place to start. As much as self care seems like a luxury, its actually more a necessity. Without caring for your own mind and body, how can you expect your body to take care of you? Without filling your own cup, how can you continue to support those around you? As a recovering workaholic, I often forget to take time off. At the beginning of this year I made an effort to create a self care routine and have been aiming to include at least one of these every day or week: Make time for own yoga practice and attend a class at least once a week Keep a gratitude journal Meditate at least 5 minutes daily Clean up desk at the end of every week Spend more time cooking Do a home facial once a week Vent out negative emotions in a journal Read a chapter of a book or a poem before bed Last week was #internationalselfcareday, which is perfect timing for you to start creating your own self care plan Perhaps these will give you ideas to get started. Remember: it doesnt have to be perfect! Some weeks I tick off 2 or 3 of these, some weeks I can barely manage 1 You simply have to start Whats the first thing you can add to your self care routine?

17.01.2022 MONDAY MEDITATION: EPISODE 1 - Body Scan Guided Meditation Welcome to our first episode of Monday Meditation! This week were using a technique called body scan.

16.01.2022 OPEN WIDE With all the events going on these past few weeks, my motivation to work, exercise, self care and adult in general have been at an all time low. Times like these its more important than ever to be true to vulnerability. To crack yourself open, open wide to acknowledge and explore the insecurities, uncertainties, fear and pain. To see and support each other as we share our own vulnerabilities. To then allow space for re-educating, realigning, nurturing and healing.... Because at the end of the day, we are all connected. #namaste

16.01.2022 NEW PROJECT Since COVID-19 most of us have been spending more time indoors, either self isolating or working from home or just to avoid being in public places.

16.01.2022 SUNDAY STRETCH: EPISODE 2 - Eagle Arms Eagle pose is a really great stretch for tight arms and shoulders, especially if youve been hunched over a computer or phone or desk or wheel all day. Basically, everyone should be doing this stretch Eagle Pose... P.S. Probably best to watch with sound off/subtitles only because I only realized after posting that the mic picked up all the sounds of construction in the background...

10.01.2022 INTRODUCING: MINDFUL MINUTES Mindfulness is something I have personally found so helpful in improving my mental health and relationship with myself, my body and food. Starting from this week, I will be sharing short videos to my IGTV, Facebook and YouTube to help you become more mindful. It is my hope that these videos provide you with the tools to increase self awareness, helping you become more mindful of your own body but also thoughts, behaviours and patterns. As a diet...itian, I will also show you how this increased awareness can then translate and affect your relationship with your body and food. And because I apparently love alliterations, the first two tools/techniques (meditation and yoga) will be shared through two new fortnightly mini series: Monday Meditations and Sunday Stretch Let me know if you have any special requests or questions! Excited to share with you!! Side note: Another leap out of my comfort zone - talking at the camera I promise I will work on being more natural and improving sound quality in future videos IGTVFacebookYouTube

07.01.2022 HOW TO IMPROVE FLEXIBILITY Ive received this question many times and unfortunately the answer is boring: practice and patience. Many of my students are surprised to hear that Im not actually naturally flexible (my hamstrings are so tight my ballet teacher used to push me down to get into splits... and I still couldnt get down ) However, over the past few years, Ive found a few things to be particularly helpful:... Consistency - try to stretch for at least 10-15 minutes everyday, even if youre just sitting in one position the whole time while watching TV (which leads to the next tip...) Long holds - allow your body to slowly relax and open into the stretch. Try to hold each pose for 5-10 rounds of breath, rather than rushing through or bouncing the movements (i.e. in butterfly pose) Practise both active AND passive stretching - being too flexible can actually be harmful when you lack the strength to stabilise your muscles and joints Be patient - progress is often slow but be patient, be consistent and one day you will achieve your flexibility goals On the note of passive stretching and long holds, theres a new 20-minute Yin Yoga Class up on the YouTube channel! This ones super gentle, suitable for beginners and you just need your mat! Let me know if you try it!

07.01.2022 EXERCISE & SLEEP You’ve most likely heard of all the benefits of exercise for health - but did you know one of them is helping sleep quality? Sleep and exercise have a reciprocal relationship, like a 2-way street. Lack of sleep can impact exercise performance and increase the risk of injuries. Conversely, a lack of exercise can impact your ability to sleep well.... Swipe across for a short summary of the relationship between sleep and exercise, and the current recommendations for physical activity. Save this post as a guide to see if you’re meeting the recommendations every week!

06.01.2022 SUNDAY STRETCH: EPISODE 3 - Spinal Flow Has sitting at your desk (or your couch) all day made your spine and back body stiff? Dont worry, Ive got your back (pun intended ). Try this 5-minute flow in your lunch break and let me know how you feel afterwards!

06.01.2022 Happy Friday! Heres my first attempt at an Instagram reel and I missed the chances to add more captions #youliveandyoulearn Although theres nothing wrong with having a regular morning coffee or tea, a reliance on caffeine or having too much caffeine (for adults thats approximately 4+ coffees per day) can have the opposite effect. Not only may you end up feeling more on edge, it can also affect your sleep quality in the evening (which is counterproductive to increasi...ng energy ) Here are 5 caffeine-free ways you can kickstart your morning instead for a burst of energy 1. Meditation/Pranayama (Breathing Exercises) 2. Gentle stretches and movements 3. Higher intensity workouts (please dont judge my jump squats ) 4. Journalling/planning the day ahead 5. A filling and nourishing breakfast What are some other ways you like to start your morning?

03.01.2022 Slowing down for the weekend

01.01.2022 LETS GET FISHY A little Q&A with some FAQs about how to include more fish/fish oils into your diet SHOULD I TAKE FISH OIL SUPPLEMENTS?... A: To put it simply - if youre eating enough fish throughout the week, then no. There are so many fish oil supplements on the market these days it can be hard to know which types to take, how much to take etc. Thats another conversation for another day What you need to know here is that fish oil supplements typically contain EPA and DHA, two types of omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are also found in fish, particularly oily fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel. If youre getting enough of these types of fish, then theres no need to supplement (think of the money you could save! ). SO HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? A: Eating 2-3 meals of fish (about 100-120g per uncooked portion) per week has been shown to benefit heart and mental health! BUT I CANT ALWAYS BUY FRESH FISH A: Frozen, canned and fresh fish are all great sources of omega-3! Frozen and canned options are convenient, readily available and generally a bit cheaper than fresh too! I DONT KNOW HOW TO COOK FISH/INCLUDE IT IN MY MEALS A: Canned and smoked fish is great in salads, sandwiches, scrambled eggs or as a snack on its own. Frozen and fresh fillets can easily be steamed, baked, grilled or crumbed (yay to homemade fish and chips) - youre only limited by your imagination! You could even have it for breakfast Here, I added some smoked salmon on sourdough, topped it with avocado and cheese, then baked it until the cheese was melted What are some of your own favourite fish recipes? ? ()EPADHA33()! ? 2-3(100-120/)! ... 3! ... sourdough... ? See more

01.01.2022 SUNDAY STRETCH: Ep 5 - Stretches for Neck Stiffness As we wind down from one week and prepare for another, you may be feeling a bit of pent up tension. Most of us are spending more time online nowadays and looking at screens for extended periods of time.. These three stretches are great ways to take a break from screen time and release tension and stiffness in your neck!...

01.01.2022 FOOD POLICE When I eat something thats less healthy, more fun (i.e. burgers, hot chips, pizza)... Them: Arent you a dietitian? Why are you eating that?... Me: Because I can eat whatever I damn want. I wonder whats for dessert If even I, as a health professional, can get shamed, judged and made to feel guilty for my food choices, imagine what these kinds of comments can do to others with a more fragile relationship with their food and bodies. Take a moment to reflect if youve ever engaged in this type of talk (either with friends, family or yourself, both on the giving or receiving end) SAY NO TO THE FOOD POLICE. Listen up. Theres already enough judgement and negative energy going around in the world. We dont need it surrounding our food choices too. So eat that salad or cake or whatever food it is youre craving*, and let your friend or yourself eat and enjoy it in peace What fun food are you looking forward to this weekend? *Unless contraindicated in certain medical conditions. Everything in moderation!
