25.01.2022 The last day of 2020 and WOW, what a year it has been!! I know for many, it is certainly going to be one they won’t forget!! ... But tomorrow is a brand new day, new month & new year, and like the rising of the sun, it gives us all a chance to move on. Take this opportunity to reflect on everything that happened in 2020, and whilst it might not yet be time to delve deeply into 2021, start to give some consideration to what you might want to achieve next year. Enjoy th...e last few hours of 2020, and remember tomorrow is the start of something great. 2021 will be what YOU make of it ... Happy New Year See more

25.01.2022 As we move into the holiday season it is the joy that we can bring to others that truely fills our hearts

24.01.2022 Why should you practice Pilates? . Pilates focuses on stabilising joints & controlling your movements using your core muscles so that you become stronger & more mobile. It allows you to move more freely & with a greater range of motion & in many cases pain free Pilates has been known to improve posture, provide better balance, increased strength & flexibility and reduce back pain. ... I know I am biased but I strongly believe that everyone should practice Yoga & Pilates at the very least once a week. Maybe 2021 might be your time to start? See more

23.01.2022 Less Attitude More Gratitude!! Today’s a brand new day, a new page, a new beginning Nothing is permanent ... except this one moment. So whatever obstacles you might be facing, it can sometimes help to stop for a moment and relook at them & see what you have learned from them. Then show gratitude for what it has taught you ... As we do practicing Yoga, when we are grateful it gives us strength & clarity that’s often just the ticket needed to help overcome the bumps in the road. See more

23.01.2022 It’s a good day ... to have a good day Happy Friday Yogis It’s a new day It’s a clean slate... It’s a chance to start again It’s a day full of endless opportunities It’s a day of infinite possibilities Go Live it See more

23.01.2022 We got our creative hats on at the Urban Retreat on Saturday and learnt how to draw a Mandala to experience the peace and tranquility that comes from this ancient meditative practice #mandalas #lettinggo #nojudgement #meditation ... #calm See more

23.01.2022 Ever wondered how long you should stay in your yoga pose? 1. When your breathing starts to change from a slow smooth fluid pace to being quick, short and shallow. 2. When you move from working the pose to forcing it. 3. The quality of the pose becomes compromised.... A wise yoga teacher once told me ... you should come out of the pose feeling just the same as when you went into it." See more

23.01.2022 While many people opt to have a shower for speed & convenience, the health benefits of a relaxing bath are often underestimated. Putting the time aside for a long soak in the bath at least once or twice a week can be hugely beneficial to your overall well-being. Taking a warm bath is an excellent way to de-stress, helping to relax the mind & cope with any overwhelm or anxiety. In fact, there are some scientific studies that show having a soak once a day for two months is a...ctually more beneficial as a stress-curer than prescription medications!! A bath causes all the main muscle groups in the body to relax, helping lower blood pressure, reduce cramps, improve muscle elasticity and ease tension headaches. As a result of muscle and mind relaxation, it will be no surprise to hear that baths will help you sleep better. The rise and subsequent fall of your body temperature (once you are out of the bath) also plays a part in a better night’s sleep. This fall in body temperature releases melatonin, which regulates all your body’s rhythms, including sleep. A hot bath will cause you to perspire, carrying away with it toxins, bacteria and viruses. As well as this, the steam will open up the airways to your lungs, helping to relieve sinusitis, asthma and bronchitis. The increased blood flow means congestion will be reduced, as will inflammation in the respiratory system. Perspiration will also clean your skin far more thoroughly than soap & water; it opens your pores, meaning grime, dead skin cells and other impurities will be washed away. Why not add some natural oils to your bath to help soothe both the skin and mind? A relaxing bath can actually offer the same therapeutic benefits of a hydrotherapy spa, it’s just easier to get to and way cheaper. Light some candles, put on some calming background music & take advantage of this sanctuary in your own home. See more

22.01.2022 Learn to slow down. Get lost intentionally. Observe how you judge both yourself & those around you This quote from Tim Ferris reminds us that when we stop & slow down we can become more observant of so many things. We become the witness!! Meditation is one way to achieve this!! It helps you become more accepting of yourself, other people, places & events. And when you become more accepting, the tendency to judge, critique or jump to conclusions dissipates.... A Regular Meditation practice can pave the way for compassion towards ourselves and then this has a ripple effect towards compassion for others. See more

22.01.2022 When life gets a little testing, there’s nothing better than a long soak in a bath to ease any tension and lift your mood. For me, relaxing in a bath seems to improve just about any situation!! The question I pose today is do you listen to music or simply soak silently??? According to SOAKOLOGY, here are their Top 10 songs to listen to whilst enjoying your bath . 1. Norah Jones Come Away With Me... 2. Jack Johnson Better Together 3. Adele Make You Feel My Love 4. Katie Melua The Closest Thing to Crazy 5. Ed Sheeran Kiss Me 6. John Legend Ordinary People 7. Corinne Bailey Rae Put Your Records On 8. Damien Rice Delicate 9. Enya Only Time 10. Birdy Skinny Love How do like to take your bath? For me it is definitely no music!! But sometimes I might listen to an inspiring podcast ... otherwise it is pure silence, a nice drink (gin, whisky or wine), a few drops of DOTERRA Lavender Peace whilst I relax with a clay face mask See more

22.01.2022 Tomorrow night Anastasia from Genesis Of Health is hosting another amazing Sound Bath Mecitation in the studio - there’s still a few spots left

22.01.2022 Very apt in the current moment

22.01.2022 4 Tips to improve your Yoga practice 1. Listen to Your Body - You want your practice to require effort but without the push. Yoga is about knowing how your body feels TODAY, not how it felt yesterday or how you'd like it to feel. Everday is a new day and everyday your body is experiencing something different - so it is your job to listen to it and work with it & not against it. 2. Know Your Limits - It's important to treat your body's limitations with patience a...nd kindness. Not only can pushing your body past its limits cause physical harm, but being hard on yourself for not being able to perform a pose perfectly doesn't align with Yoga's philosophy. No-one is a Master not even our yoga guru's when you acknowledge that you are on a journey and your practice is a work in progress then your Yoga experience will be so much more rewarding. 3. Stay Mindful of Your Breath - The heart of Yoga is its ability to transform peace and tranquility. This we can do through the breath so whilst in a pose be mindful of your breathing and connect with it as your move and transition through your poses. 4. Stick With It - Consistency is the key ... the more you do, the better and more benefits you will feel and see. Yoga can make a huge impact on both your physical and mental wellness, but only if you stick to a regular routine. See more

20.01.2022 Never underestimate the healing powers of good old Mother nature Taking time to walk through the trees & smell the roses as we say has huge effects on our physical & mental well being. It gives us a chance to unplug from technology & truly slow down. It brings you into the present moment so you can experience the serenity & peacefulness of nature Perfect for this time of year!! The key to unlocking the power of this walk is in the five senses Listen to the sounds o...f the birds singing or if you are lucky the water flowing down a waterfall Feel the cool breeze as it rustles through the leaves of the trees Observe the different coloured greens of the trees & undergrowth or the way the sunlight filters through the tree’s branches Smell the fragrances of the forest & breathe in all it’s clean freshness that being in nature provides Finally take a few minutes to truly feel the earth below by placing your hands in the soil or, if you are bold enough, take off your shoes & walk barefoot and just connect. Feel the sense of joy, peace, calm and serenity as you connect with Mother Nature. I am constantly surprised at just how good this activity makes me feel it completely transforms my mind & body to such a state of calm & tranquility it is truly amazing!! See more

19.01.2022 I hope you are all as excited as this beautiful little one is? I know I am because SANTA is on his way & I really LOVE Christmas!! What I LOVE most about Christmas is the traditions, We all come together to put up our tree with our Disney Santa hats on & Christina Aguilera - My Christmas cranked up!! We sing, dance and decorate the tree, we have never missed a year. This year we started early because Bella was up for a few days and it would be sacrilege to put up the t...ree without her. Usually on Christmas Day we like to volunteer in the local community & offer some assistance to those who need a little help. This year with COVID things are a little different so we will spend X’Mas with Bella in rural NSW having a real country Christmas .... perhaps marking the start of possibly a new tradition!! Do you have any X’Mas traditions that have lasted the test of time that you would like to share? See more

18.01.2022 At this time of year I choose a word to guide me through the year ... And KINDNESS is my word for 2021 Once I’ve settled on my word I usually write it on a rock, though this year as I went for my first walk in the Bush I found a beautiful piece of bark. Tribute to shedding away the last year ready to unveil new opportunities, adventures and potential for 2021 This word I keep close to my heart, it’s to remind me how I will live each day and gives me the opportunity to... contemplate how I will invite more kindness into my life. The bark will sit in my study right where I can see it everyday reminding me to live the year with kindness so that I can then live my life’s purpose always aligning with my higher self. What’s your word for 2021? See more

18.01.2022 Don’t just dip your big toe in, firmly put both feet in ... Life is here to be lived!! Be adventurous and say Yes to those ideas that step you out of your comfort zone & watch your life develop & grow. With 2020 being such a challenging year for many, not only is it a great time now to let go & really enjoy moments with family & friends, but also start to think about what you hope to achieve & experience in 2021. ... With travel & life beginning to open up, what adventurous activity would you like to put in the calendar for 2021? ... Camping in the Kimberley’s has just been added to my list!! See more

18.01.2022 I really love this quote by Mother Teresa There is so much joy in seeing happiness in others. Let your light shine bright let this inner light illuminate - the world will be a much better place for it

16.01.2022 Following what transpired in 2020, I wish I could put pen to paper & write my hopes & goals for 2021 with total certainty about how it will all play out. . There’s part of me that wishes I could sit down today & decide without any doubt what I will learn in February, what I will achieve in March, and what I will share with the world in April and beyond. . But somehow I continue to discover, year after year, that life doesn’t quite turn out the way I imagined. Yes, I am a ...planner & prefer not to do things at the last minute or at the drop of the hat ... So there are always quite a few things that go completely as planned, but if there is one thing that 2020 has taught me, it might just be that we don’t have as much control as we had hoped & thought!! . So as I map out my hopes & dreams for 2021, I will hold them loosely and try to trust that there’s a divine energy that’s much bigger than mine ... One that will guide & direct me so that in the end, I will learn what I need to learn, in the time that I need to learn it. . Embrace the uncertainty that life in the 2020’s is certainly throwing at us. See more

07.01.2022 How was your first day of 2021 ? Yesterday I saw a plethora of posts saying good riddens to a crap year that people would rather forget. Sure it wasn’t the year people thought that they’d walk into .... it wasn’t the direction I anticipated Pure Yoga to move into but not once did I curse or describe the year as crap. ... Mainly because I saw it as an opportunity to get comfortable with the uncomfortable and follow the path of least resistance all elements we honour in our yoga practice Admittedly I did have a few cries out of sheer mental exhaustion If we learnt nothing from 2020 than to be grateful for the precious gift we call LIFE than there was some GOOD from a turbulent year Whilst I don’t have a crystal ball I did say from the outset of this pandemic not to get comfortable thinking we will wake up on 1st January 2021 and this will have all gone away So let’s not label this year as crap, shit or whatever words of choice you choose What about leaning into 2021 with more ; Love Kindness Gratitude Softness Curiosity Non Judgement Open mindedness Acceptance Here’s cheers to year of what WE CHOOSE to make of it See you on the mat .... online from Monday 4th January

06.01.2022 There is no better time of year than now to be thinking about making wise choices to ensure your own happiness. But first let’s establish what happiness is because it can be different for each of us!! ... Happiness is when we feel fulfilled, satisfied & content. Research tells us that happy people tend to get less sick, have more friends, smile a lot, exercise more, eat healthier, are more content with life and ultimately have more success. ... Becoming happier is as simple as surrounding yourself with things that make YOU happy or being in PLACES that make YOU feel happy. For me, I’m extremely happy when I have beautiful flowers in my house . What one (1) thing do you do that makes you happy? See more

04.01.2022 The morning is the perfect time to reflect & prepare the mind for the busy day ahead. Nothing beats an opportunity to venture into the bush and I am just so blessed to have so many places within a mere 30 minutes away which provide such a wonderful environment to either walk, run, bike ride or meditate. My spot for this meditation was by the river at Audley - the mid point of my walk from Grays Point. Combining Meditation with a walk is such a magical way to start the ...day. How do you like to start your day? See more

03.01.2022 How would you like a new body? ... Like the rising of the sun signaling the start of a new day, so too can practicing Pilates signal the re-engineering of a new body. And the easiest way to achieve this is by attending a group Mat Pilates class. Mat Pilates work is the basis for the entire Pilates system of exercises by working your legs, stomach and lower & upper back muscles. On the mat, your body weight provides resistance against gravity, making the workout way more c...hallenging in many cases. You must be in full control of your body, rather than relying on the assistance or support of the springs & cables of an apparatus. Mat work is a great option for beginners because it emphasises the need to actually control your muscles during the exercises. But don’t be fooled, advanced mat classes can be some of the hardest as you’re using your body all the time & don’t have any relief of an apparatus assisting or supporting you. Mat Pilates is definitely challenging & when you add in some small props (Pilates ball, roller and Pilates circle), it’s an awesome workout!! Just ask any of our students ... The typical comment I hear after each class is this just never seems to get any easier!! Many of our students have been attending our mat Pilates’ classes for well over 10 years & simply love it!!. With a mat Pilates class, you will see results (improved strength, posture, agility, flexibility, toned muscles) within just a few mat sessions And as Joseph Pilates said - In 10 sessions you'll feel a difference, in 20 sessions you'll see a difference, and in 30 sessions you'll have a whole new body. See more

03.01.2022 Yoga wasn’t my first exercise love!! I was a hard core gym addict, I’d teach up to 10 classes a week from Body Attack, Step, Pump & Combat and lived on the Adrenaline high. Until my physical & emotional body decided one day to say ENOUGH is enough!! Not prepared to stop moving I found yoga. That was over 25 years ago & it now is my first love when it comes to exercise. If you would like to start 2021 off on a new foot, I am hosting a 21 Day Health & Wellness Challenge ...commencing 4 January. It will be a great way to build some positive & healthy habits that will serve you in living your fullest life in 2021. If you would like to join me, please visit the link for all the details & registration below ... Or you can just shoot me a message!! https://aw16f2e1.aweb.page/21dwcfbrp

03.01.2022 It’s world Kindness Day And in a world where you can be anything you wish .... be Kind It takes the same number of breaths to kind as it does to be unkind... Today Sprinkle kindness around like it’s confetti ..... kindness is contagious

03.01.2022 I saw this post today .... and thought this is spot on Martina Navratilova was once asked, How do you maintain your focus, physique and sharp game even at the age of 43?" She gave a humble reply, The ball doesn’t know how old I am. ... You need to stop yourself from stopping yourself. Every game in life is actually played on a 6-inch ground the space between your two ears. We don't live in houses, duplexes, or flats. We live in our mind which is an unlimited area. Life is great when things are sorted and uncluttered there. Keeping the mind messy with hatred growing on the table, regrets piling up in the corner, expectations boiling in the kitchen, secrets stuffed under the carpet, and worries littered everywhere ruin this real home. The key factor to performing well in life and in every arena is the ability to control the quality and quantity of your internal dialogue. Performance is potential minus internal interference. Live in peace, not in pieces. Credit to Dr Melodie de Jaeger

03.01.2022 Tomorrow I’m hosting our first 1/2 day Urban Retreat for 8 yogis, which sold out in less than 24hrs Now more than ever we need to retreat and find a quiet space to rest and relax Our next one will be 17th October details for this will be posted on this page and then you can register to be of the lucky 8 yogis

02.01.2022 This is what I call "SELF CARE" ... after many, many years teaching Yoga & Pilates, I have learnt that if I don’t schedule time for myself I cannot serve others. And after a very big week teaching & preparing for our Urban Wellness Retreat last Saturday (& not getting home until 7pm) and dealing with those 2 days of exhausting heat, I knew that I needed some down time. One of my favourite ways of bouncing back is to grab my gratitude diary, either a coffee or a bite t...o eat & just sit in the park amongst the greenery ... getting grounded & letting nature re-energise me!!

02.01.2022 People often ask me how & when do I Meditate? I am just as busy as the rest of you so I do it wherever & whenever I can.

Once you have mastered the skill, it comes quite naturally but you do have to be consistent - like brushing your teeth!!... Take today for example ... I decided to incorporate a walking meditation whilst listening to the the sounds of the ocean & enjoying the sun shining ... Another glorious summer day!! How do you like to meditate? See more
