25.01.2022 'Every now and then, it's good to stop climbing and appreciate the view from right where you are.' - Lori Deschene

24.01.2022 Still taking adventures whenever and whereever we can - today my sons and my versions of R&R met on the green! Between Bogies, Birdies, Eagles, the fabled Albatross and unintentional forest walks, I had a great afternoon with my boy - I'm feeling very Happy Gilmore!

24.01.2022 Day 3 Stay-cay Adventure !! Today, I got my ‘geish on,’ Marilyn style! Now, I just need a drag name... Even though I screamed when the boys showed me the finished product, everything before and after that shocking O...M...G... moment was SO MUCH FUN!! The music was cranking, the chatting was non-stop, serious topics were discussed and lots of laughs were had , and how the boys ended up making a woman look like man dressed as a woman is completely beyond me !

23.01.2022 'tough /tf/ verb (informal) : endure a period of hardship or difficulty' Let's endure together

22.01.2022 WEEKEND ITINERARY! DAY 5, 6 & 7: 17/7/2020 to 19/7/2020 Working with the notion that: Thoughts become Words. Words become actions. Actions become habits. Habits become character. Character becomes destiny, this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I will really be focusing on the ‘Actions become habits’ part by honing in on some of the plans I have put into place this week, namely:... ADVENTURE: an exciting or unusual experience Finishing the fiddly, super tricky jigsaw with hubby Turning left on my daily walks and exploring other areas on that side of town CEREMONY: a sacred observance Daily meditation: 10+ minutes in my little nook CHALLENGE: a call to special effort My morning java sans sugar - it turns out that with sweetened almond milk, sugarless coffee ain’t so bad! Listening to really listen, not listening to respond HEALING: growing sound, restoring balance Lemon water first thing every morning Daily journaling: 5 things I am grateful for, 1 addition to my Bucket list and 1 addition to my Chuck It list INDULGENCE: for pleasure, not necessity Jay and I have been looking at cooking some different vegan eats, and we have decided that we will attempt to make a vegan version of our fav: Orange & Poppyseed cake! PRACTICE: cultivation of a healthy habit or custom No tech one hour before bedtime and much less tech on the weekends Waking up (and getting out of bed!) with the sun SERVICE: a voluntary act for the good of another Helping a brilliant young entrepreneur with the challenges of starting up his new online business. Like they say, ‘You either succeed or you learn.’ Hopefully my learnings can be of service to him in one way or another. Hope you and yours are well Will check in with you tomorrow, lovely peeps! With love, Kylie x

20.01.2022 Here's cheers to the New Year! And here's sending our love and best wishes to you and yours xx See y'all in 2021!

20.01.2022 DAY 3: Itinerary for 15/7/2020 ADVENTURE, CHALLENGE and HEALING are coming together on this one, because it’s a BIGGIE...actually, for this particular Gen X’er, it has sashayed across the border into COLOSSAL... It is one of my greatest fears and one of my greatest prejudices blended together and slathered on an inch thick. ...Continue reading

20.01.2022 What we witnessed and experienced during the 16 days our studio was open between the end of the first lockdown and the start of this one strongly supports the following statement... That and the years I have practised in studios surrounded and embraced by community, further emphasised by the collective love and support of our growing Marakata community during the total 6 weeks + 16 days our new studio was open, is also a resounding, heartfelt testament to the proposal that: ...'Gyms (and yoga studios and the like) are an essential service for mental health, physical health & wellbeing.' With the health and wellbeing of our community continuing to be our first priority, together with our goal of reopening our studio with the recommended COVID-19 Safe Plan in place, please help us to once again be of service in this way sooner rather than later. Please read, and if you feel so inclined, sign, and share, the following e-petition. Thank you Our love and warm wishes to you and yours Stay safe. https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au//view-e-p/details/12/217

20.01.2022 'The easiest way to try and do yoga is to use your phone in a low service area.' Living in the hills has helped my asana practice greatly! #serviceisbestoffthebalcony #dropout #ordroppedphone... #thestruggleisreal #stillloveourhillsidehome #thegreenofgrowingthings See more

16.01.2022 Our first ever jigsaw and another Stay-cay Adventure complete! This was an activity we enjoyed a lot more than we expected to, and it was so satisfying placing the last piece!

16.01.2022 Have you met my family? Some are related to me by blood, one by marriage, some by happenstance and some by yoga, but they each, and collectively, have a VERY special place in my heart 2020...I have no words. For many, in many ways, it has been the toughest year they have experienced to date. In small business circles, I have heard this phrase uttered in disbelief time and time again, as some reopened their doors to an unrecognisable new world while others broken-heartedl...y closed theirs for the last time. Right before Covid became a word and a force to be reckoned with, we first opened our studio doors in a flurry of heart-bursting excitement, Sun Salutations, hugs and Namastes a-plenty on 28th January 2020. Three openings and two closures in 10-odd months, equalling a total of 7.5 months closed, has been hard to get our heads around, let alone our hearts. But so has been the overwhelming support of the family I live with, the family I yoga with, friends who have become chosen family and our growing Marakata community during this tumultuous time in history like no other. You guys are rock stars and our rocks. Truly. No matter what the future brings, my heart is full: family, community and connection really is everything, whether you run a yoga studio or not "2020 is not the year to get everything you want. It is the year to appreciate everything you have." Pic of 5 at our studio from L to R: Marakata Yoga teachers, Leigh, Jordan, me and Sheridan, and the spunk at the end is my hubby and partner in all things, Craig. Pic of 2 yoginis under our miraculous Marakata mandala: the lovely lady on the left is the talented artist responsible for said amazing mandala/Marakata Yoga Teacher, Megan, and little ol' me. Pic of 4 men holding a smiley blonde (not grey...blonde ) woman: the 4 men are Craig and our grown-up offspring, Nate, Jay and Ben, who are trying very hard not to drop their giggling mother! Pic of the masked bandits after Megan's Thursday evening Vinyasa class from L to R: Yogi Michele, Marakata Teacher, Megan, Yogi Nerida, me and Craig. With plenty more pics of our wonderful Marakata community that make me and my phone smile Stay tuned...

15.01.2022 As many of you know, I am a veterinary nurse, and during the last lockdown, I did some locum nursing while our yoga studio was temporarily closed I have been asked if I am available to nurse again during this lockdown, so, long story short, it looks like our Stay-cay won’t be for as long as we originally planned. We will continue to touch base where and when we can: Adventure, Ceremony, Challenge, Healing, Indulgence, Practice and Service is needed in our daily lives n...ow more than ever, and we really hope you continue to make your growth and self care your primary focus during these difficult times. We definitely intend to In saying that, the Stay-cay has been an experience me and my family have sincerely embraced and revelled in, and we have really enjoyed sharing in it with you all See you soon! With love, Kylie x

15.01.2022 The gift of beautiful sunflowers to ring in the Summer Solstice and the promise of a new year Our wonderful Marakata community truly has been the sunshine through the clouds for this new studio on the block as we fuddled our way through 2020 Thank you for your ongoing support ... Here's to brighter days! Seasons Greetings to you and yours! P.S.: tomorrow is our last day of classes before we break for 5 days over the Christmas period, and then it's back to our usual timetable on the 29th December 2020! (Except for NYE...we're taking that night off! )

14.01.2022 Me, Craig and our boys are water people. Before I found yoga, swimming was my moving meditation. These days, this particular mermaid feels very blessed to have found a way to mindfully breathe, move, float and be still with a heightened sense of awareness while being on land too. Our love of the water is one of the reasons why we co-owned and co-operated our swim school for 8 amazing years. But it was supporting people of all ages, abilities and walks of life ...as they empowered themselves with the life skills of swimming and water safety that kept us passionately showing up to the pool every day, eager to serve. We feel the same way about yoga. And it is for the same reasons why we opened Marakata Yoga & Wellness: to support people of all ages, abilities and walks of life as they empower themselves with life skills of mindfully breathing, moving, floating and finding stillness with a heightened sense of awareness, as they move through their unique journeys, on and off the mat. Looking forward to seeing you on the mat - or maybe at the pool! - soon!

13.01.2022 When you open the laundry door to see if your kid has finished with the washing machine and you find him doing this... #handstand #adhomukhavrksasana #downwardfacingtreepose #armbalance #upsidedown #changeyourperspective #laundryday #yogaeverywhere #yogaeveryday

13.01.2022 The evolution of a vegan Orange and Poppyseed cake (with orange-coloured vegan vanilla frosting ), Lehman style! We followed this cake receipe from Eat Smarter: https://eatsmarter.com//vegan-poppyseed-and-caramelized-or... but we swapped out the soy milk for almond milk, and the candied oranges for vanilla frosting using this yummy icing receipe from Loving It Vegan: https://lovingitvegan.com/how-to-make-vegan-vanilla-frosti/ And the verdict... Process: Easy, messy (mainly from our attempts at sifting icing sugar!) and satisfying (when blending together the cake mixture and then whipping the icing into velvety waves...) Finished product: fluffy and moist with a pleasant orangy aftertaste topped off with just the right amount of smooth, sweet nominess - MUCHO DELICIOUSO!! See y'all again on Sunday night! Be well. Stay safe. With love, Kylie, Craig, Nate, Jay & Ben xxxxx #staycay #yogaretreat #indulgence

12.01.2022 'Dem post-groom feels... Being greeted with this smile really helped to put one on my dial today, so I thought I'd share the awesome power of the Gypsy-smile with you all Thinking of you and yours. Be well. Stay safe. Take care

11.01.2022 DAY 4: Itinerary for 16/7/2020 ADVENTURE: an exciting or unusual experience Why I decided to go for a 1000 piece jigsaw to start out with, I’ll never know...especially one with sky, water, and mirror images... Some initial thought prior to purchase, instead of being wooed by the pretty picture, would have been the smarter option, but, in an unexpected turn of events, it seems to be working out for the best! ...Continue reading

10.01.2022 Plans for this lockdown: move my body, still my mind, listen to my heart Laying off MSM for a bit, but if you need an ear or a shoulder or you're up for a bit of verbal (or texting) to-and-fro, please don't hesitate to contact me on 0439 012 215 or through Messenger - y'all know how I enjoy a chat! Much love, Kylie x

10.01.2022 DAY 8: Itinerary for 20/7/2020 ADVENTURE: an exciting or unusual experience Once a week, Craig and I hit Aldi, Woolies, our local bakery, green grocer etc. to restock our coffers. We like getting out and about and supporting local small business wherever and whenever we can, so online shopping is something we’ve never really considered before...but in light of the current situation, we’ve decided to give it a go. We will still be supporting local through social distan...cing and our new facial fashion accessories , but look out, Woolies...us Lehmans and our keyboard are coming for you! CEREMONY: a sacred observance Listening to my favourite Chakra meditation through my chunky ‘80’s style earmuff headphones in the peace and quiet of my little nook If you want to partake in this awesome little 10 minute meditation, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeGT1VXwfx4&feature=share CHALLENGE: a call to special effort Once again, it is Monday and, once again, my goal is to make it Moo-less HEALING: growing sound, restoring balance LOVING my daily journaling! (Writing down 5 things I am grateful for, 1 addition to my Bucket list and 1 addition to my Chuck It list.) It really helps me to regain perspective, it buoys my hope and it is helping me to shed old skin that, I now acknowledge, has been itching at me for sometime now... Journaling! Another reason why I love writing...so good for the soul INDULGENCE: for pleasure, not necessity This Cadbury-loving gal is a HUGE fan of Pico Chocolate Mint Crisp Vegan Chocolate...SO DEEELISH!! And the perfect indulgence for Moo-less Monday! PRACTICE: cultivation of a healthy habit or custom Power Yoga practice on Facebook Live here at 9.30am Bring along your mat or a comfy patch of carpet, your drink bottle, a towel and any yoga props you normally use. (PLEASE NOTE: Disclaimer is included in the Comments section of this post.) - RESCHEDULED SERVICE: a voluntary act for the good of another I have a phone-date with a fiercely independent, technology-challenged Baby Boomer to help him set up a PayPal account for his pandemic online shopping needs - wish us luck! See you lovely humans tomorrow! With love, Kylie x

05.01.2022 Hi y'all! How I've missed you! Hope you and yours are well I haven't been on here very much lately: I've felt that it has really served my mental and my all-round health spending more time out here! I felt really blah this morning and, with today being rainy and all, it was a bit of a battle getting going, but now I'm out and about, I'm so happy I did This morning was a walk/run in the brisk, fresh air with my uppity '80's tunes (99 Luft Balloonsin German on repeat... ) adding a spring to my step, while drinking in sights of countless, bright yellow daises bursting through the grass, the greenery of nature and the beautiful gardens people have been investing their iso time in, well-walked, happy canines and their masked humans smiling big behind their face coverings so I can see their warm greeting from in and around their eyes , all to be topped off with a post exercise Yin Yang Yoga practice that me, my hammies and my calves are really looking forward to I hope you are being kind to your amazing, resilient selves by surrounding yourself with what is readily beautiful. Even on the days when it feels like that doesn't exist, take steps to venture out from where you are...it's there, I promise you... Hang on in there, my friends. We're nearly there. How I am so looking forward to sharing quality time, space and conversation with you all very soon. You are never far from my thoughts and you are always in my heart Much love, Kylie x See more

03.01.2022 When you ask for some guidance, and then this falls in your lap... ‘Things cannot remain in stillness forever. Winter storms may destroy some things, but they also prepare the way for life. If things are swept away, it is appropriate. There must be an opportunity for new living things to emerge and begin their own cycle. All growth comes with a shock. When a sprout breaks it’s casing and forces it’s way to the surface of the earth, it is a climax to a long and deep accumulat...ion of life force. We may think that it came up suddenly, but in actuality, it emerged as a product of unseen and subtle cycles. When the seedling appears, it carries with it the complete pattern for its growth, perhaps even the making of an enormous tree. Although time and the right conditions are necessary, neither of those factors adds anything to the inherent nature of the seedling. It completely embodies its destiny. Therefore, the growth and character of the plant - and its very life - are all present in the moment of emerging.’ From 365 Tao: Daily Meditations by Ming-Dao Deng Hang on in there, my friends Here’s wishing you all a safe and auspicious weekend xx #StaycayDay6 #365TaoDay6 #dailymeditation

03.01.2022 After scrubbing my face 5 times, I’m back! Wow...what a day...this adventurer is definitely having an early night!
