29.01.2022 Yoga to help replenish the adrenals and combat fatigue. Some poses we are practicing this week and for you to try at home. During times of stress it’s important that we find the time to rest and recover. These poses can help you. Remember - slow down, breathe and let go. : @woanderer_moves @noscoyoga @yinyogamats @yogawithnayo ... #OjasYogaAndMindfulness #AkhandaYoga #AdrenalFatigue #GoldCoastYoga #NorthGoldCoast

25.01.2022 This week in class we explore #NobleSilence Words from plumvillage.org : When our bodily actions are calm and peaceful, our mind is also calm and peaceful and our outer silence becomes our inner silence. Inner silence is the foundation for deep listening. We can dwell in the present moment and touch what is happening in and around us. Inner silence makes us available for ourselves, our loved ones, and the wonders of life. ... I think my students are just happy they didn’t have to listen to my voice all class #GoldCoastYoga #OjasYogaAndMindfulness #HopeIslandYoga #SanctuaryCoveCountryClub

22.01.2022 We Boobs (long post alert) #NationalBreastfeedingWeek There is so much pressure on new Mums. You need to heal your body, probably feel like you’ve got some extra kg’s to lose, may have other kids that still need you, adjusting to a reduced family income, a partner who also needs you, your sleep deprived... and I haven’t even got to the baby. Then there is the pressure of breastfeeding, which in my experience, we mothers mostly put on ourselves. For some women breastfeedin...g comes naturally and the milk flows out of them like a tap (insert envy face). However, I can honestly say that breastfeeding my 3 babies has been the most challenging times of my life. Battling on through supply issues, judging my performance as a mother on my babies weekly weight gain, mothers guilt after failed labours ending in caesarean driving a determination not to stuff this up too, and living weeks where I felt like I either had a baby or a breast pump wrenching at my nipples hasn’t been easy. But life isn’t easy and sometimes giving is receiving. To be able to give my babies as much breast milk as I could make in those first 6 months so they had the best start in life I could offer them has given me back so much as I appreciate my own determination, persistence and selflessness in challenging times, as well as developing a newfound gratitude and respect for my body. Zac and I are 8 weeks into our journey and fortunately it’s now getting easier and I’m hoping we can make it through to 12months but I’ve also learnt to be kinder to myself and to accept that I can only do what I can do, and that is enough. If we don’t end up making it to 12months that’s ok, I’m still a good mother who has done their best, like any mother would. Us mummas need to remember to be kind to ourselves for you are the greatest gift you could ever give your babies and your family. The special feeding moments like this are priceless... Thankyou Photos by Jordi for capturing this special time for us. #Breastfeeding #BreastfeedingMum #BreastfeedingIsHard #PostPartum #MumLife #SelfLoveJourney #SelfLove #BeKindToYourself #BreastfeedingJourney #AustralianBreastfeedingAssociation #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

21.01.2022 In class this week we explored the first of Miguel Ruiz 4 Agreements. Be impeccable with your word. I included this Rumi quote in my teaching as I think it sets some good guidelines for us to consider before we open our mouths. Remember what your mother said ‘if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything’ Some food for thought... do you realise the power of your words? .... . . #The4Agreements #GoldCoastYoga #YogaBeyondAsana #HopeIslandYoga #NorthGoldCoastYoga #BeImpeccableWithYourWord #ThinkBeforeYouSpeak See more

17.01.2022 It’s sad that we cast ideals of perfection not only on ourselves but also onto our fruit and veg. Nobody’s perfect, and that’s ok. The same can be said for a nobbly carrot, dull apple or short zucchini. Buying direct from the farmer is always best but sometimes it just isn’t practical. So for us, we choose to rescue adorable apples, crazy carrots, playful pears and zany zucchini’s from going to waste by purchasing #OddBunch at our local #Woolworths. We cut or peel off the lumps and bumps and they are just as delicious. Just ask Zac, he loves his odd bunch purées. And all that plastic packaging (which I’m not a fan of) it goes straight into the soft plastics recycling. Save some fruit and veggies. These guys ‘dream of being tasted, not wasted’ and help reduce #FoodWastage while supporting Aussie farmers at the same time.

15.01.2022 Mountain Pose (#Parvatasana) aka Downward facing dog (#AdhoMukhaSvanasana) All over body stretch. Oxygenates the brain and rests the heart. Detoxifying inversion. Strengthening and helps prevent osteoporosis.... I often see people in class striving to achieve the ‘perfect’ pose they see in pictures. Rounding their spine in an effort to press their heels to the floor. There is no perfect pose, it’s about working with your body to find the right pose fit just for you. Here’s my tips for finding your mountain pose... Using hands to set your foundation (fingers spread, weight evenly distributed. Use fists if you have weak wrists) Sit bones high, straight spine Relax the head so your gaze looks toward your legs - long straight neck. Press down through the feet evenly, bend knees if you need to. BREATHE - long, deep, full breaths and feel your body expand and contract with your breath. Hold for a min or more, whatever feels right for you. Remember it’s yoga practice not yoga perfect... : @yogatips . . . . #MountainPose #DownwardFacingDog #AkhandaYoga #YogaTips #GoldCoastYoga #OjasYogaAndMindfulness #HopeIslandYoga #YogaGoldCoast

14.01.2022 Your body will tell you the answer. But will you listen? Trust your intuition. If it doesn’t feel right there’s probably a very good reason why... . . . . ... #Intuition #GoldCoastYoga #HopeIslandYoga #InspirationalQuote #QuotesToLiveBy #YogaInRealLife See more

12.01.2022 Happy 1st day of #Spring I felt this quote was pretty spot on for spring 2020. As bad as things may seem at the moment, remember that nothing lasts forever, and things can only get better. With the new season comes new energy, new hope and new opportunities to continue to grow our mind, body and spirit. #NewSeason #StayPositive #WeAreAllInThisTogether #AkhandaYoga #SpringQuote #GoldCoastYoga

11.01.2022 I am collecting donations at my home in Helensvale, or there is a drop off tub in the office at St Francis Xavier Runaway Bay till school finishes at the end of the week. Any donations are much appreciated

11.01.2022 Love this. Teach your kids to be good humans and they will be filled with happiness from the inside out... That ‘money can’t buy’ kind of happiness that elevates your soul. https://www.gcyoga.com.au

10.01.2022 Today marks 85 laps around the sun for one of the worlds most influential spiritual leaders.

08.01.2022 During term 4 of school I had the pleasure of teaching yoga to a lovely group of teachers. It was a new group of students for me, and I was a new teacher for them. It took time for us to all get to know each other. For me to learn where they are at in their practise physically and mentally, and for them to let go of expectations and open to a different teaching style. Every yoga teacher is different, every group of students is different. Open your heart and your mind and, in a little bit if time, you will find your groove together. Thankyou my after school yoginis for being open to my teaching and for being so grateful for it. Thankyou for this lovely gift of appreciation #GoldCoastYoga #OjasYogaAndMindfulness #Grateful #AkhandaYoga

08.01.2022 How you doing? U alright? How’s it going? So, how are you feeling about _? Everything alright? R U Ok? It doesn’t matter how you say it. Check in on each other. Open your ears and listen.
