25.01.2022 We never stop learning if we choose to always be a student
25.01.2022 Drawing the breath..... This photo doesn't look at all interesting or very yogic does it? However it's actually a visual interpretation of my breath and is a form of art therapy which I had completely forgotten about until a dear friend reminded me recently-I've been usinga lot of late. Many of us find it hard to meditate and even us yoga teachers have times where the mind is in so much damage control that it feels impossible to sit in lotus and 'just be'. Drawing the breath... can be used as a form of meditation and is an easy way to bring yourself back to the present moment. Try this.... With a pen in hand and a blank piece of paper in front of you start drawing a line from the middle of your paper- as you breathe in draw your line up and then as you exhale let the line draw down the page. Continue on for as long as you feel comfortable but even 5 mins of this therapy will find you feeling more centred and calm. I'd love to see how your breath looks
24.01.2022 True on the mat as it is in life
24.01.2022 Especially true in current circumstances!
24.01.2022 Sunday, the start of the week. Do something new and try this ! #yoga #trythis #startoftheweek #yogagoals #thisisyoga
23.01.2022 Hey Yogi friends, its a bit windy here in Melbourne today which actually it very fitting for tonights class which will focus on twists! As I watch the trees twist and move with the wind outside it reminds me that we need our bodies to be able to freely move and not be static. Twists are known to be energizing- they bring flexibility to the spine while providing a gentle massage to the internal organs. Get in touch to join us tonight for a twist or two!
22.01.2022 We are back on the mat this week for a more traditional yoga class via zoom!

As always there will be modifications through the class which makes the class available to everyone. Time: 8pm Wednesday Place: Your house ... Comment below or fell free to send us a message if you would like to join us! #yoga #yogaviazoom #gentleyoga #yogaathome #isoyoga #freeyoga #yogaandrelaxation

21.01.2022 It was lovely to take some time out last night and lead a group of 20 friends, family new students and old through a yoga nidra session. We are back again next week - let us know if you want to join in!
21.01.2022 Had enough of the 'New Year, New You' spiel or 'Shift that extra Christmas weight'. We won't tell you to reinvent 'You' or make you feel guilty for having had that extra serve of Pudding ( afterall it's Pud, you can't waste it). Instead we are offering you the opportunity to come along and try a class on us for term 1! ... - No commitment to have to buy a class pass - No need to make it to class every week - No requirements to wear 'the right workout gear' or to move your body into unrealistic positions. Our class is all inclusive and suits all levels and abilities. We encourage you to move your body, breathe and feel good again. Get in touch to book your free class. #yoga #yogatime #yogabasics #yogaforallbodies #gentleyogaclass #relaxation #breathe #domoreyoga #freeyoga #yogainnerwestmelbourne
20.01.2022 We are continuing to safely stretch ( good hygiene, mat sanitiser and social distancing in our big room) until the end of term at South Kingsville.
19.01.2022 Winter is certainly here which is why we are loving stretching via zoom! No need to leave the house or even get dressed in your best yoga gear . Pay as you go $10 per class - get in touch if you are keen to join! Wednesday nights 8pm
19.01.2022 So given that most of us are in Melbourne, we might just have to be happy with 5 of the best doctors this weekend.... #whereisthesun #yogaisexercise #yoga #bekindtoyourself
19.01.2022 Stretching tonight via Zoom at 8pm! So many negatives about our current lockdown situation however this is definitely a positive. We have so many people join us weekly on the mat that couldn't if we were in normal circumstances. Students love that they can practice from the safety and comfort of their own homes - and I must admit I am loving it too! Get in touch to join-$10 per class
19.01.2022 Are your legs crying out for some movement after sitting all day? Try Shoelace pose! Take a seated position with the back tall and the legs out in front. Lift the left leg over the top of the right, bringing the foot down near the knee. If this feels ok, you might like to come into the full pose by wrapping the right leg around bringing it close into the left buttock. Hands either resting or in prayer - then just breathe!... The pose gets it's name from the way the legs tie themselves into what looks like dramatic knots. It's great for the hips and whole pelvic area as femur bones come into external rotation while the internal organs of the digestive system get a well deserved massage. #yoga #shoelacepose #yogaforthehips
18.01.2022 Some days we may benefit from sitting and breathing more then moving and sweating that's why this weeks on line class will be Chair Yoga! The beauty of doing yoga on a chair is that we get all the basic benefits of a yoga class while being totally supported by the chair- this makes it available to pretty much everyone. Details: 8pm Wednesday night Venue: Your house... Let us know if you are keen to join and we will send you the code.

16.01.2022 Tadasana or Mountain Pose- Most classes we start in Tadasana, it's a foundation pose from which many poses start. Although it looks quite easy, it's the pose of pure posture. Head is tall, shoulders are rolled down away from the ears, spine is stretching out and the legs (our base of our mountain) are strongly planted to the earth. This week in our zoom class we worked with an image in Tadasana. Body- Strong like a mountain Breath- easy like the breeze Mind - still like a l...ake It's a beautiful pose to calm down and bring yourself into the present moment. #yoga #thisisyoga #tadasana #gentleyoga #yogaathome #yogaviazoom #yogainiso See more
16.01.2022 Sleep (or getting to sleep) can be hard, especially in times when we have so much on our minds, so much to think or worry about - like now. Most of the time if we just allow ourselves to focus on one thing, the thoughts can drop away and sleep will come. Tonight once you get into bed and you find your thoughts getting away from you, try focusing on the breath. Take a breath in and say to yourself I breathe in for 1, I breathe out for 1. On your next breath say to yourself, I breathe in for 2, I breathe out for 2. Use this focus point up to the count of 5 and then return back to counting in and out for 1 breath. Happy Sleep
16.01.2022 Most of us spend the best part of our day in front of our computers or device screens- this position is even more exaggerated for some of us now working from home. The worst part of this is that majority of the time our shoulders are hunched, necks craned forward and our posture is slumping. If this sounds like you, and your body is yelling for help- join us this week for a Zoom shoulder, head and neck session. Wednesday night at 8pm we will spend time easing tension fro...m the head neck and shoulders before treating the head and face to a beautiful massage. Get in touch if you are keen to join us!
16.01.2022 We cannot care well for others if we don’t care for ourselves first. Have you practiced some self care today?
15.01.2022 Happpy Monday! Issue yourself a challenge today and do this- It might just change your whole day! # yoga #domoreyoga #yogaeveryday #thisisyoga #mindfulyoga #yogatip

14.01.2022 HAPPY FRIDAY YOGIS
13.01.2022 It's a 'pose of a child' kind of weekend here in Melbourne. Balasana is a natural stress release and has a calming effect on the brain. I like to pull a blanket over myself in this position, slow down the breath and pretend that the world outside does not exist.... even if that is for only 5 mins.
13.01.2022 Back in April I went out of my comfort zone and started teaching yoga via zoom with the intention of offering my students yoga from home. What I didn't expect was to re-connect with old students, introduce yoga to a whole group of new people and to have my daughter, sister, niece and nephew in class at once! What a joy it has been to be able to do this. Zoom classes have proven really popular - so why not join us. Date/Time: Wednesday nights- 8pm ... Place: Your place! Wear: Something comfortable ( yes PJ's if you wish) Cost : $10 Get in touch for payment details and Meeting codes.
13.01.2022 Happy Easter Yogi friends

11.01.2022 Life at the moment couldn't be any slower... right? We have all had to change and adapt to a new way of living which is challenging. But have you noticed among all of the uncertainty that we are facing, there is a feeling of ease? I'll be the first to admit that I'm enjoying not having any commitments at the moment- no rushing to and from work , no after school or weekend sport and not a single place to be on the weekend. I often use the line in class 'Nowhere to be, nothing to do' in class and most people find that so hard to do..... how are you going with having ' Nowhere to be, nothing to do'?
11.01.2022 Stretching tonight via zoom in the comfort of your own home- $10 per class. Tonight we will focus on the chest and shoulders- get in touch to join us!
11.01.2022 Gratitude is well known to be associated with happiness, the feeling of positive emotions and improved health. If you can each day try and notice the good things in your life- really look and appreciate them. Savour, absorb and pay attention. Notice what is there instead of what isn't!... #gratitude #gratitudeattitude #gratitudedaily #bemoregrateful #thisisyoga #bemoreyogic
10.01.2022 The beauty of a Yoga mat is that you can roll it up and move it to wherever the day takes you- today's new adventure for me involved rolling my mat out and teaching a private one on one yoga session via zoom- in the bedroom!
09.01.2022 Friday funnies!
08.01.2022 This is Shenae... she looks so blissed out hey! The reason she looks so at ease (apart from being my beautiful niece) is that she is in the practice of Yoga Nidra- the yogic sleep. It is a practice of deep relaxation, the gap between consciousness and sleep where the heart beat and breath naturally slow which allows the body and mind to drop into a state of deep calm. We are running a session Thursday night via Zoom- get in touch if you would like to join us. #yogarelaxation #thisisyoga #bestpartoftheclass #yogasleep #yoganidra #yogainisolation #yogaviazoom
08.01.2022 Extended pose of a child - allow the heart to melt into the mat, breath to soften and the thoughts become still. We use this pose a lot through out our class usually after stronger poses- while it can be seen as an easy pose which is known to relieve stress it still provides the benefits of stretching the spine, hips, and ankles and arms. Join us Thursday night at South Kingsville for some Extended Child Pose... Come and try your first class of free for term 1!... #yoga #thisisyoga #yogapractice #freeyoga #yogainspiration #yogarelaxing #yogainnerwest #yogainnerwestmelbourne
07.01.2022 School's back and so is Yoga! We all love our kids right... but gee it's good to see them back at school this week! Often the return of school means returning back to routine, to the after school commitments, to homework , making lunches and to some lucky few returning back to work. Getting back into the swing of the week for me feels like coming home... Join us back on the mat this week for Yoga at South Kingsville Community Centre- 7:30pm Thursday. Make it part of your weekly routine.
07.01.2022 Yoga is back! We are stretching tonight at 7:30pm South Kingsville Community Centre. If you are keen to try it out, your first class in free in term 1!
07.01.2022 No matter how you turn up to the mat, you will always feel better after a yoga class
06.01.2022 Over my years, I have had so many students say how they wished that they could just stay in relaxation and not have to get up to go home.The beauty of home practice is that we can do this! This weeks class will take place ( preferably) with you on your bed- pj's recommended as the outfit of choice. We will gently stretch into a practice which will prepare the body for sleep. Next we will get cosy under the covers ready for me to guide you into Yoga Nidra- a form of deep relaxation known as the yogic sleep. Best thing is, you then can stay there and drift off into what is hopefully a beautiful nights sleep. $10 per class- get in touch if you would love to join.
06.01.2022 Today's mantra....
05.01.2022 This is today... tomorrow might be different but all we really have is the present moment.
05.01.2022 We all often find it difficult to end our day and move into a peaceful nights sleep. Sometimes yoga can prepare the body for sleep ( my Thursday night class often say that they have the best nights sleep after their weekly class). The sequence below just might be the thing you need to slip into to that dream state...
05.01.2022 This quote reminds me of the The Serenity Prayer which my mum always had on our wall at home "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference". Maybe it's the new age version, but the meaning is quite the same. ... Many years on, the words are only now resonating with me.
05.01.2022 More important than ever at the moment. #thisisyoga #yogaeveryday #yogaispositive #positivedays #bemorepositive #weloveyoga

03.01.2022 And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were st...ill. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal. And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed." ~Kitty O'Meara'~ Feel free to share Dear Global Family Thank you #yogibynature #bekind
03.01.2022 So I've been thinking alot about posting some classes for you all to enjoy while we are in lockdown... the thing is I've tried so many times to record myself but between a house full of family, no dedicated space and the fact that it just feels weird talking the laptop it is just not happening! So I was thinking maybe I would be better to do a live Zoom session at my normal teaching time of 7:30pm on a Thursday night- who is keen? I'm thinking a nice deep relaxation session to start us off?
02.01.2022 Just because we are in lock down in Melbourne doesn't mean we have to give up everything! Join us for a stretch via Zoom 8pm Wednesday nights. $10 per class- get in touch if you are keen to move with us!

02.01.2022 NAMASTE MUM My soul honours your soul. I honour the place in you where the entire universe resides.... I honour the light, love, truth, beauty and peace within you, because it is also in me. In sharing these things we are united, we are the same, we are one. Happy Mothers Day

Free feel to send us a message or comment below and we can send you through the codes to join!
01.01.2022 This pose is commonly known as pose of a child - and as it states here it’s so beneficial for you. We use it a lot throughout class as a resting pose - to come out of more challenging poses and to pause and shut out the world around ( just for a moment anyway).
