24.01.2022 When I get emotional I feel like nothing can help me to move forward until I realise that this is not true, emotions can be use in a potent way for growth and transformation. When we are in the midst of a storm, It’s hard to believe that emotions are just energy in motion and that they will be dissolved in one way or another. Sometimes they stay for a while, sometimes they move quickly, sometimes they change forms. I see emotions like a stream of energy not moving in the righ...t direction or stuck somewhere in the body. I believe it’s important to let this energy being released or being empowered to find the right flow again. For me, each emotion create a desire to do something, maybe that’s why we have emotions, to find a different source of power. When I’m anxious, I meditate and do pranayama. When I’m sad, I paint, I play music or do Yin Yoga. When I’m angry/frustrated, I run, climb or do a HIIT class. When I feel clingy/can’t let go, I need to be in the nature; hiking or surfing. When I’m happy, I’m cooking or have the need for strong yoga practices. Each emotion can be morphed into an offering if you listen closely . How do you use your emotions for a source of creation? @ Ashgrove, Queensland

24.01.2022 Refining my teaching is something I’m so passionate about: - How my cues can land efficiently? How the tone of my voice can create an energy or an intention? How an assist can be both well placed and powerful ? How a chosen theme can be embodied and digestible? There are the questions I’m asking myself regularly. A potent teacher requires many skills, qualities and knowledge in order to create a positive impact on their students. ... I have been exploring different approach in my teaching this year and I can see how it affects drastically the room. A couple of weeks ago, I have attended to a yoga training with @juliesmerdon about positive communication and teaching off the mat. This training has marked a big turn in my teaching. Teaching off the mat - without demonstrating the poses - have been a big change. I always demonstrated at least 30% to 50% of my sequence and never thought I needed to do differently. It seemed to work okay and nobody told me not to do it. I have implemented teaching off the mat directly after the training. In my own experience, teaching off the mat help me to gain confidence. I’m less into my body and more connected with the energy in the room and my students. I also feel like I’m offering a safer environment where I can see everyone at all time. Finally, I have the time to do hands on assists and my cues are placed according to what I see in the room so more accurately. Heaps of gratitude to all my students for being so open and adaptable. I’m curious to know if you prefer when the teacher demonstrate or just use their voice? For all my yoga teachers friends and followers, what do you usually do and what are your thoughts?

22.01.2022 RESTLESSNESS Do you notice this feeling knocking on your door like an undesired guest? Since Monday I’ve been feeling agitated, impatiente, restless.... A millions of questions passing through my mind, so much traffic up there. I have a lack of drive, not too sure what to do so I freeze: I look at my phone 20 times a day. I open the fridge; too many fruits and vegs, I open the cupboard and eat half of the tablet of chocolate. I attempt to meditate, it doesn’t work so I take a nap and still feel crap when I wake up. Nothing productive, nothing nourishing neither just a constant avoidance of the here and now. This is me feeling alone, lost and pressing the wrong buttons. I know all the tools that I can use to feel better, I’ve just decided that I wasn’t motivated to do anything. So here is what I gonna do today: I will hide my phone, go for a walk, seat with all my feelings, stay, breath through them, I will do my grocery shopping and cook myself a delicious meal, I will reach to 2 friends and ask them how they are going, I will get sweaty, I will watch the sunset, play with my cat and start a new book. I will stay present. Open. Compassionate. Loving. Pinking promise to myself

19.01.2022 Take your time. This is a reminder from me to myself as I learn how to navigate this life with ease and steadiness. I have tendency to project myself too far in the future and so I loose my connection with the grace of being content: I need this to be truely happy? or how long it will take me until I become that? Those ongoing inner questions stop as soon as I take a deep breath and realise that I’m enough here and now. ... There are still many questions and many unclear answers : Do you want a family? I don’t know Would you be a yoga teacher all your life? I’m not sure Are you planning to stay in Brisbane? I think so 32yo and still the same answers as the 22yo me. I have been stuck in limbo for so long? Do I need to know everything? Maybe the lack of certainty sends the wrong vibrations to the universe? And so I go outside put my bare feet on the wet grass and imagine myself as a tree: I’m not lost. I’m right here as I reach deeply into the rich soil, this same soil has also nourished ma maman, my ancestors and the owners of this land. All the answers are here and nothing has been wasted, everything has been crumbled, mixed and composted in order to create more fertility. Like a tree, it has taken me decades to be strong and solid. Like a tree, I’ve witnessed many types of storms and let them move through me until a ray of sun pierced the clouds and made my leaves and my branches grow bigger. Like a tree, I’m exposed, alive. Like a tree. I’m never lost. I have deep roots and I’m still blooming

14.01.2022 I’m in contant awe of the beautiful world we are living in. This sunset in straddie was just breathtaking. There are so much insights that we can take from the nature. Not only spending time with nature reduce stress and rejuvenate but it’s also an opportunity to know more about ourselves because nature is within us. We are made from the same elements that the universe is made of as such synchronise ourselves with the seasons and the elements is a potent and natural way to be... and heal. Autumn brings shorter days, cooler air and reminds us to cut the unnecessary and understand that moment of great joy are followed by disenchantment. Just as summer is always followed by autumn. As the leaves are falling from the trees, now is the time to be considering what there is to let go of. What has served us and what is no longer needed. What and who would you take along to your path towards winter? Autumn is a season of slowing down and reflection. Take some time this week to do nothing, to journal and to meditate in order create clear boundaries and cultivate a state of ease with your relationship to change and grief. In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) Autumn is the season of the metal element which structure, cut and clean out. We will explore the metal element in my Yin classes this week: - 8pm Tuesday @bendandfly - 7pm Thursday @one_body_studio If you want to know more about the elements, come along to my next workshop on the Sat 22nd of May - booking already available on my bio @ Stradbroke Island

07.01.2022 I still remember my first Yoga class, it was a traditional Yoga/Thai chi class. I was 19, intern in communication in France and my colleagues asked me if I wanted to join them for Yoga. I had no idea where I was going but my Sagittarius soul has always been keen to try something new so I went for it. I felt so awkward. We sat in meditation, sang mantras and I laughed. I was uncomfortable at first but as the practice continue I found enjoyment and a sense of presence I never f...elt before. I remember to be impressed by the teacher. He was fit, flexible and so calm. His energy was so different from normal people. I didn’t continue Yoga until I landed in Brisbane - I was 26 then. Climbing was my thing and the climbing gym I was going to was offering yoga classes as part of the membership so I went for it. I committed myself to 2 classes a week as a good addition to my climbs but more I was practising more I wanted to do more. Those yoga classes became my favorite part of my week. It felt so powerful and nourishing to move with the rhythm of my breath, to stretch and to rest. Since then, I have never looked back, I have tried many styles and honestly I like them all. Yoga is my base, my home and no matters what’s happening in my life, Yoga is here to remember me that I’m whole. I’m sharing my journey as a yoga student as I know that Yoga can seem uncomfortable or not for you first. Not everyone loves Yoga and that’s okay but I always say to my students try at least 3 times and with different teachers and then make a decision wether Yoga it’s for you or not.

06.01.2022 Mercury retrograde got me hard this time. I got it all in one month: dealing with a break up, clients who didn’t pay me, problem with my internet, my phone died, the new phone I bought didn’t work, many hours of sleep lost due to midges bites - I had 60 bites on my feet and had to sleep with my feet in a bucket of ice - and all of that with a 7 working days roster. First day off in 5 weeks today and it feels like a big OUFFF. It sounds like those problems are tiny in th...e grand skim of the universe but all of them together in a short amount of time felt like the struggle was real. Life is definitively not easy but what a level up...I feel like super woman now . I’m so proud of how I handle everything and how calm I remain in the midst of this crazy chaos. I can’t thanks enough my practise, my teachers and those around me who supported me as well as those who challenged me From Thursday, I’m starting 2 weeks of holidays where I will reenergised myself near the ocean. I will post my timetable for this week in my story: come along and say a mini goodbye . What about you guys... how have your been lately?

05.01.2022 When I only practise yoga, I end up to injure myself, when I only focus on one pose that I do everyday, I hurt myself too. My body loves a variety of movements and a mix of exercises. I use light weights, cardio exercises, resistance bands and pull-up bar weekly for my own sessions and you will see me regularly running, climbing, on a reformer or in a HIIT class. From my love from movements and Yoga, I create an unique class @one_body_studio : Yoga Sculpt. I love teaching this class as the dynamic is so different from what I usually teach: it’s fun, fast-paced and you got a whole body workout. From jumpy jack to sun salutation, from lunges to bicep curls, it’s always different and I make sure that each muscle are working . Try Yoga sculpt with me every Thursday at 6.30am @ One Body Studio

02.01.2022 ~ SUSTAINABILITY ~ How inconvenient is it to be sustainable? Let’s grab those plastic bags, eat with plastic cutleries, let’s take the car, let’s stop by a fast food tonight, give me my Adderall and my 3 shots latte before work. Those speak to you? We are living in a quick fix fast-paced society and we are paying for those convenient choices. Inevitably, we are slowly destroying not only our beautiful Earth but ourselves. How to become more sustainable then?... By SLOWING things DOWN. We don’t like slowing down though as it feels like we are unproductive and... who are we if we are not productive? We are so much more than our busyness! By taking the time to sustain ourselves, attention, steadiness and clarity emerge. In rest, there is sustenance. In rest, we begin again; finding the spark of a new moment, of a new breath, full attention to all of our choices, capacity of letting go and acceptance, wise actions, creativity and sweet enoughness rise to the surface and here we are... If you look for a way to slow down in order to become more yourself, come along to my next restorative workshop next Saturday @one_body_studio. This is a powerful practice that will give you the opportunity to begin again. Absolutely everyone welcome. Book via the link below https://nollayoga.com.au/events/
