25.01.2022 The weather is perfect for Storytime Yoga this morning! Storytime Yoga is a 30 minute session that includes yoga, mindful movement, calm breathing & relax time! These sessions are designed for pre-schoolers and their grown ups to enjoy together. Join us at 10am on the lawn behind @vhousemeet Sylvania Waters.... Stay safely distanced by bringing a picnic rug for your family to practice on. Don't forget hat, sunscreen & water bottles! Book online, or send me a message to book in. Can't wait to see you there.

25.01.2022 I've been making these little videos over on Tik Tok & sharing them on Instagram Reels. If you don't use either of those apps - or don't follow me over there, then you're missing out. I haven't yet found an easy way to share the vids on here. There's a few dog, holiday and fun yoga vids. But mostly I'm all about sharing tips on helping your kiddos keep their cool. I really enjoy making the videos, and you'd be shocked to know how much time is spent making & editing just a 3...0 sec clip! But they're super fun & hopefully helping families out there. You can find the vids & follow me at: https://www.instagram.com/star.yoga/ & https://www.tiktok.com/@staryogaforkids Happy watching! https://www.instagram.com/reel/CHCaTrMA5be/

25.01.2022 "The moon is a reminder that no matter what phase I'm in, I'm still whole." Practicing this moon salutation makes me feel like the moon moving through her cycle. It's a beautiful sequence! The moon will be shining bright tonight - a great time to give this one a go!...

24.01.2022 Who's ready to GLOW? To celebrate the end of 2020, we are rolling the yoga mats out in style!!!! We'll be turning off the studio lights & moving under the glow of uv black lights! So wear white, or light coloured clothes that will glow in the dark. I'll also have neon body paint & glow sticks to help us glow even brighter ... This will be a dance style class with loads of yoga (of course!) And will include a super chill relaxation at the end, so your little yoga will go home glowing, but calm! Here are the details... When: Friday 11th December Where: Sacred Soul Wellness Who: This class is open to all school aged kids (even if you haven't been able to join our classes this term!) How much: $20 per child. How to book: https://www.staryoga.com.au/eve/end-of-year-glow-yoga-party Places are strictly limited due to Covid requirements. I'm really looking for this one!

24.01.2022 Happy Book Week!! Book week is one of the best weeks of the year! Children get to share their favourite books, and dress up as their favourite characters. I love to read, and I created Storytime Yoga so that I could share my love of books - and yoga - with families.... Every Wednesday I read a really fun book, and we practice yoga along with the story. It's so beautiful to watch children, parents and grandparents bond with each other during these sessions. Click the link in my bio for more info on Storytime Yoga, or comment your questions below. Happy Reading!

23.01.2022 If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Change your perspective this morning at Storytime Yoga! A 30 minute yoga practice for you & your little one to enjoy together. Meet us at 10am on the lawn behind @vhousemeet Sylvania Waters.... Wear sunscreen & hat, byo picnic rug to practice on. See you there

23.01.2022 Barbie has come a long way since I was a kid! She's now into meditation & mindfulness & also has more moving joints, so can now practice yoga! It's great that these wellness practices are being seen across different areas of children's lives. At school, on TV, in books & in toys. What yoga / meditation/ mindfulness themed toys have you seen around lately?... https://barbie.mattel.com//breathe-with-me-barbie-doll-gmj

22.01.2022 Tomorrow! 10am @vhousemeet Sylvania Waters. BYO picnic rug to practice on. (And to keep safely distanced) Wear layers, the mornings are cold, but it warms up quick in the sun!... Send me a DM if you're coming, or book online via the website (link in bio).

22.01.2022 School is back this week, and so are our yoga classes! Join us: Wednesday 10am @vhousemeet for Storytime Yoga. (Pre-school ages + parents join in too.)... Friday 4:30pm at @sacredsoulwellness.caringbah for After School Yoga. (All school ages.) All classes will be socially distanced (but face to face, yay!). Bookings essential - DM me if you want to book in. Free trials available for new students. For more info, visit https://www.staryoga.com.au/classes.

21.01.2022 If this feels all too familiar, then you should bring your little people to Storytime Yoga! At Storytime Yoga, you will learn how to both mindfully move, and sit in stillness WITH your little ones. Each week, you and your little yogis will discover a new story book, and practice yoga poses and soothing breathing techniques to suit. The yoga is play based, and is the right amount of fun for pre-schoolers.... Let's meet every Wednesday morning at 10am, on the lawn behind @vhousemeet cafe. We will stay safe by being physically distanced, spread out across the lawn on our own picnic rugs. New term starts 14th October. See you there!

21.01.2022 Let me share a little life hack with you.... @insighttimer is the BEST meditation app you can get on your phone / device. Not only can you set beautiful timers for your meditation sessions, there are thousands of guided meditations to choose from too. The coolest part of this app is the selection of guided meditations especially made for children! ... (And they're all free!) This is not a paid promo, I genuinely love this app and use it often. Especially on those nights I need a little extra help falling asleep. Parents and educators constantly ask me what apps are out there and this is my go-to recommendation. If you haven't yet used it, give it a go. And let me know which tracks are your favourite! Enjoy

19.01.2022 It's cute trends like this that keep me on TikTok These babes reactions are the sweetest.

19.01.2022 NEW TERM STARTS TOMORROW! Kids Yoga classes are back tomorrow & we are meeting face to face again. Yay! Friday afternoon yoga classes are the PERFECT way to allow children to unwind after a full, busy week. ... Aaaand we have a brand new space to practice in. Join us in the beautiful studio @sacredsoulwellness.caringbah Use your Active Kids Voucher & all you'll pay for the term is $30. DM me for more details.

19.01.2022 Let this sink in.... "How I breathe can change the way I feel." ... Your breath has the power to stop a bad moment from turning into a bad day. You can't avoid all of the curveballs that come your way, but you can control how you react. Using your breath can be like hitting a reset button on your day. If something happens in the morning that makes you uncomfortable, are you going to let it spoil your whole day? No way! Use your breath to shift focus and find your calm. Then once you are reset you can go on with your day! You don't need to remember any fancy breathing techniques either. Simply start with a really deep breath in, followed by a really deep breath out. Nose, mouth, you choose. Do it 5 times & see how you feel, if you still feel agitated, try another 5. Keep going until you feel like your normal, calm self again. The more you practice using your breath in tricky situations, the more natural it will come to you. Don't be afraid to let your children know what you're doing either, the earlier they learn this, the better! So include them in the practice: "hey, I'm feeling a little frustrated right now, so I'm going to take 5 big breaths to help make me feel better - would you like to join me?" (Or count them for me?). Children are great imitators, so let's give them something great to imitate! Starting with some deep breaths. Happy Monday!

18.01.2022 Your child's wellbeing is my #1 priority. Here are a few extra precautions that I'm taking to keep everyone Covid Safe. Cleaning high use surfaces before and after every class. Providing hand sanitiser & hand washing facilities (soap & paper towel).... Ensuring students wash / sanitise hands on arrival to class. BYOYM - Bring Your Own Yoga Mat. Limiting use of props - if any are used, they will be sanitised / cleaned after class. Socially distant yoga - no partner poses for now. Staying up to date with news & updates from NSW Government. If you have any questions or feedback on this, let me know!

17.01.2022 All of this wet, windy & wild weather has made the ground too wet for yoga this morning! Storytime Yoga is cancelled for this week. Let's hope it dries up for next week! Until then, enjoy jumping in the puddles!

17.01.2022 Yesterday our Primary School yogis made snowflake shaped mandalas. When we were finished, we admired each other’s designs & noticed that they were all different (even the 2 that have a similar shape, have different colours). In nature, no two snowflakes are the same. Just like in class, no two snowflake designs were the same. They are all unique and special in their own way. None are any prettier or uglier than others - they are all equally special. ... Just like humans. We all have special qualities that make us unique & these qualities need to be celebrated. They're what makes us, us. Making mandalas is a great mindful activity for children, even I was surprised at how silent the room was during this exercise. You can use whatever you have at home - toothpicks, pencils, sticks, leaves, flowers, etc. Start from the middle & work your way out, adding layers of different shapes and patterns. Enjoy!

16.01.2022 Balancing Bear is one of my favourite poses to practice with children. It's playful & fun, and it also helps to develop their core strength. Core strength is an important building block of a child's development. Poor core strength can cause poor posture, which can also affect both gross and fine motor skills. So try this one out at home and see how they go! ... First off, you want to make sure that everyone has plenty of room behind them (in case they fall backwards). Sitting nice and tall, take hold of one foot and raise it to the sky - just like the bear! Make sure the spine is long, not curved. And squeeze those tummies to help you stay strong! Bring that foot down and change sides. Practice with both sides on their own first, to get a feel for it. Then, when you're ready, bring both legs in the air, one at a time, until you're a beautifully balanced bear! Rolling backwards is completely normal (and fun!) Have a giggle, sit back up and try again, squeezing those core muscles tight to help you stay upright. Remember to work on sitting up tall with a straight spine. Enjoy!

15.01.2022 The countdown to Christmas is on! I have put together a list of 24 Mindful Moments that you can have with your little one. Put this list next to your advent calendar to help you remember to slow down this December. Enjoy! ... https://www.staryoga.com.au//24-mindful-moments-to-have-wi

15.01.2022 I have teamed up with Energetic Minds to help deliver these awesome yoga and safety awareness programs at pre-schools across the Sutherland Shire. They offer a range of programs that cover important topics in a fun and engaging way! If you are a teacher or a parent of a little one, make sure you contact Mark at Energetic Minds for info on how to bring the program to your centre....

15.01.2022 If you have any unused Active Kids Vouchers, make sure you use them up before they expire on December 31st. You can use any unused vouchers to pay for yoga in 2021. That's a whole $100 off a term pass! Send me a DM if you'd like more info on how to do this.

15.01.2022 It's Yin in your PJs day today! We're slowing things riiiiiiiiight down this afternoon at Yoga with a relaxing Yin practice. Yin yoga is a more soothing, meditative practice, where poses are held much longer than normal. ... All of the poses will be done on the floor, so the comfier we can get, the better! Pjs, onesies, pillows & teddies are all welcome!

14.01.2022 The New Year is here! No matter what chaos is going on in the world around us, yoga can bring peace to our inner world. In 2021 I will be offering yoga classes to children of all ages:... Storytime Yoga for toddlers, preschoolers & their care givers to enjoy together. 10am Fridays. After School Yoga - for kiddos in primary school to find their calm after a busy week. 5pm Fridays. Tween & Teen Yoga - a more advanced practice to enhance the physical and emotional well being of older students. 3.45pm Fridays. Plus... I have some availability during school hours to offer yoga sessions in school and pre-school settings. If you know of a classroom that would love to begin a weekly yoga practice, please get in touch! "World peace begins with inner peace." -Dalai Lama

14.01.2022 I am beyond excited to let you know..... Our Friday afternoon classes are returning in Term 3, and they will be in person, face to face classes! I have also moved this class into a beautiful, brand new space this term. We'll now meet at Sacred Soul Wellness where we will practice in the most calming yoga studio space!... I know it's been a bumpy first half of the year, and we also don't know what's in store for the second half. But what I do know is that yoga can help us through. In yoga, we can use movement to help us focus on the present moment, and we can ground our busy thoughts by using our breath. Students will learn each week different ways to get out of their head and into their bodies - helping to ease stress and anxiety, allowing more space for peace and calm. These classes are suitable for all school aged kids. The classes are fun, interactive, and sometimes high energy - but always end in soothing relaxation and reflection. All children are welcome. We are registered to receive Active Kids Vouchers. If you use your voucher, all you will pay out of pocket is $30 for an entire term of yoga. Don't forget your 2nd voucher for 2020 is available for you to use now. If you have already used your 2 vouchers, or can't commit to the full term, we have different class package options available. DM me if you have any questions. If you're ready to book your child in, click the link below to register: https://www.staryoga.com.au/events/after-school-class-term-3

14.01.2022 No Storytime Yoga this week, due to wet, soggy grounds this morning. Enjoy the muddy puddles!

13.01.2022 PSA: Parents, after the year that you've had, the last thing you need is the stress of worrying about what your cheeky elf will be getting up to! So here's a clever solution that I saw on Pinterest. Hopefully it saves you 14 days of ideas. You're welcome!

13.01.2022 It's the perfect weather for Storytime Yoga this morning! Find us under the shade of the trees on the lawn behind @vhousemeet cafe in Sylvania Waters at 10am. BYO picnic rug to practice on. & don't forget to bring hat, water bottle & wear sun screen!

12.01.2022 THIS FRIDAY! Our end of year Glow Yoga Party is this week, and I'm really excited for it! We're turning off the lights in the studio and switching on the UV Black lights to get a full GLOW effect! Wear white & neon clothes so you will glow in the dark! I'll have glow sticks & neon body paint to give us an extra glow!... To celebrate the end of 2020, this will be a dance style yoga class. (No yoga or dance experience necessary!!) Just bring good vibes & you'll have a great time! Suitable for all school aged children & families are invited to join in too. There's still time to book in - but do it quick because we are almost at capacity. Link in bio - DM if you have any questions. Can't wait to glow with you!

12.01.2022 It sure is a beautiful place to be! Who else is going to look for pink shells next visit to Cronulla?

12.01.2022 "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing" - George Bernard Shaw I love watching @star.yoga kiddos grow up because I get to see their yoga practice evolve over time. ... I have Pre-school yogis who now attend Primary School classes. And Primary School yogis who are now in High School. Even though the lessons change to suit the needs of the different age groups, one element which is always present is PLAY. Play is a great way to tackle those tricky yoga poses. Whether it's a toddler exploring Downward dog for the first time, or a teen trying out an inversion; if we make it playful and fun, then the kids will come back to it again and again. It's also really good for us (adults too!) It helps to relieve stress by triggering the release of endorphins - the body's natural feel - good hormone. Play can also boost your energy levels, leaving you feeling more happy & motivated. How can you add more play into your week?

10.01.2022 I love bringing yoga to early learning services. If you work at, or send your child to a centre that is allowing visitors - and would love to introduce a yoga program - please get in touch!

10.01.2022 After a particularly stressful year, we could all use a little more time practicing yoga and meditation. Even our little people. Term 4 right is right around the corner, and I am preparing some extra special yoga classes to help your little people get through the final months of the year. I can't wait to share all the details with you!... #watchthisspace

10.01.2022 Bonding with your Babe There are so many great activities on offer to keep toddlers and pre-schoolers busy. But how many of them offer special bonding time between you and your babe? Storytime Yoga does just that. During the 30 minute session, you and your little one will practice side by side (sometimes on top of each other too! ) and by the end of the session, you will BOTH walk away feeling that you have benefited from the activity.... Young children LOVE to see their care givers pretending to be an elephant, then a snake, then a bird. It's a new way for them to invite you into their world of wonder & imagination. The sessions will also give you some fresh new ideas on how to play, read, or introduce meditation & conscious breathing into your home. Cuddles, tickles, kisses, hand holding, hi-fives, partner poses & wild imaginations are very much encouraged and celebrated at Storytime Yoga. Come join the fun!

09.01.2022 The weather is looking perfect for tomorrow's Storytime Yoga session! Come and join us for a fun, interactive class that you can enjoy with your little one. We'll meet at 10am on the lawn behind @vhousemeet Sylvania Waters. (There's plenty of parking behind Doltone House).... BYO picnic rug to practice on & don't forget hat, sunscreen & water bottles.

09.01.2022 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! Just sitting here eating my lunch & an email pops up from a good friend (who is also a talented graphic designer) with cute Christmas themed logos attached & a message that said "Merry Christmas". A fantastic reminder that you don't need to spend loads (or any) money to make people feel loved and joyful. The best presents are the ones that come from the heart. ... Thank you @mrscfletch for the special logos & always being a thoughtful friend.

08.01.2022 Friday afternoon Yoga is the perfect opportunity for students to shake off any stresses of the week and ease into the weekend. The class runs 4.30pm every Friday of term, and is open to all school aged kids. Sign up for the entire term using your Active Kids Voucher, or buy drop in passes for your little one. Send me a DM if you would like more info!...

06.01.2022 LET'S PLAY! Storytime Yoga is back tomorrow morning! We meet at 10am every Wednesday (weather permitting) on the lawn outside the beautiful @vhousemeet cafe, Sylvania Waters.... We read a book, practicing yoga along with the story. Stretch, balance, play, laugh and connect with your little one. BYO picnic rug to practice on. Having your own rug will help us all keep safe distances from one another. Message me if you'd like more info, or if you're thinking of joining us. It's going to be so much fun!

06.01.2022 Our home is #2!

05.01.2022 Who had a copy of this book as a kid? I don't know why she swallowed all of those animals, perhaps because they make a perfect yoga sequence? We'll find out today with my friends at Bay Road Kindy!

05.01.2022 School's (almost) out for Summer! And to celebrate how strong & resilient our yogis have been this year, I have planned a few extra special classes. Mark these dates in your diary!... If you haven't been able to get your yogi to class this year, they are still more than welcome to join in these classes. All school aged kiddos are welcome to join the fun! Send me a DM for more info on how to book your yogi into these classes. Its going to be so much fun!

04.01.2022 Calling all spooky skeletons & ghastly ghosts!! Halloween Costumes are welcome in class this Friday. 3:45 - Tweens & Teens Yoga 5pm Primary School Yoga... Both classes held at @sacredsoulwellness.caringbah See y'all there!

04.01.2022 Wishing all of our yogis a wonderful education week! It sure does look very different this year, but I'm glad to see that kids like these ones at OBPS can still have loads of fun at school. If you need a smile today, make sure you keep watching for the bloopers

03.01.2022 You can now redeem your 2nd Active Kids voucher for the year! Use your $100 Active Kids Voucher for a term of Kids Yoga and you will only be out of pocket $30. That's $30 for 10x yoga classes. How awesome is that!? Term 3 starts this Friday, and there are still spaces left. Get in quick though, as numbers are limited due to distancing regulations.... You can book in via the link in my bio, or you can DM me and I'll send you the link.

02.01.2022 This made me giggle because I occasionally get called the "yogurt lady" by little children at pre schools Can recommend this Christmas movie too.

01.01.2022 About last night.... Our end of year Glow Party was a huge success! The smiles on the student's faces lit up the room. 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, so it was such a treat to be able dance & breathe all the stress away & share this magical space with beautiful souls.... A special thank you to all the parents for showing up every week & investing the time & money in your child's wellbeing. Bring on 2021. More yoga, more glow parties & more fun ways to find inner peace.
