22.01.2022 Good morning God. I am always an ‘0h God it’s morning’ kinda person. But after #yoga @elementsofbyron the first sun of 2021, it is ALWAYS good morning god. The #ocean, my favourite beach, my yoga home. We were looking for dolphins in dolphin pose, but saw mermaids instead. True story! Welcome 2021 I am so happy you are here.

22.01.2022 This Dog, Dog is God spelled backwards. Tallulah dog, my Rottweiler, my best friend, the only one who looks at me unconditionally no matter what. 4 years you’ve been by my side. Four years to grow up from a puppy into a wise lady. I love you my precious girl. Thanks for letting me be silly and put my glasses on your face. #rottweiler

21.01.2022 *Teacher Tip Tuesday* As a yoga teacher it’s important that you get off your mat. Get up and walk around the space. Look at your students, connect with them, correct them if needed. Project your voice so it is clear. As new teachers you may feel ‘safe’ on your mat but you have to make the effort to walk around the space. It is important.

20.01.2022 Do you want to be a certified Yin Yoga teacher ? 50 hour face to face course is $1199 (early bird) 25 hours is $750. Held in the luxe boutique studio near Harvest cafe in the Byron Hinterland. Yoga Alliance and Yoga Australia accredited. DM and link in bio for more info. I’m super excited! I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

19.01.2022 I love Australia. It is my adopted home. A country that has been very good to me these past 24 years. January 26th is Australia Day and unfortunately it isn’t a happy day for everyone. Our country is torn. We want to celebrate being Australian but the date just breaks too many peoples hearts. I am proud to live in this country. I am so proud of how we’ve handled Coronavirus. I’m proud to live in a place that is so clean and beautiful. And I am proud that people are waking up... and respecting and honouring the traditional custodians of this land. So happy Australia Day! But let’s change the date... See more

16.01.2022 My yoga studio for the past 5 years @elementsofbyron. Yoga is for everybody. Every Body. So come join us for free 7am classes daily when you stay. Ps: I’m thinking about doing a retreat here in 2021. Who is keen?

16.01.2022 Paschimottanasana Wtf is that word you may ask? It means stretch of the west side. Our back is considered the West. Our front the East. Our head the North. Our feet the South.... Also called Caterpillar in yin yoga. A little easier to say perhaps! BKS IYENGAR suggested doing this asana for 50 of your breaths to cure ailments. I’ve done it before and it takes 20 minutes or so but wow, the feeling when you come out is BLISS. See more

Give yourself permission to rest....... #yogabyronbay #yogabythesea #yinyoga #yinyogaposes #yoga #yogapractice #byronbay

14.01.2022 *Teacher Tip Tuesday* Yoga is for everyone and every body. Be welcoming to all who wish to attend your class and teach from your heart, not your head.

14.01.2022 *Teacher Tip Tuesday* It’s been awhile since I posted my tips for teachers and ultimately students too. I’ve been busy manifesting big dreams. But I’m not ready to tell you about that one just yet... ... So instead here is my latest tip for Yoga Teachers If someone is breathing loudly in meditation, Savasana or stillness it is unnecessary. It is disruptive. And in my opinion rude. As a teacher you are in control of the space and as a tip please say something Be firm but fair. For example say If you are breathing loud or forceful quiet your breath, slow it down. It is more effective than a loud forcing breath in this moment See what happens, maybe they quiet the breath. So many students are not aware that a quieter conscious breath has so much power to it. Less is more in these circumstances. If they continue to be a loud breather (on purpose) pull them up. Don’t be shy to say I can still hear some people breathing too loud The others students will thank you. Believe me. There is nothing more annoying than an unnecessary loud breather in a yoga class.

13.01.2022 Summer days spent snorkeling and swimming with turtles. Today had one of those magical moments that is so rare and unique. My friend @celiagalpincreative Her daughter (8yrs) and I went for a snorkel in the bay. ... We were lucky enough to play with a turtle. She loved it- we chased her and she loved the game. After some time she came back to us with another turtle friend and the 3 of us girls swam and played with these 2 turtles. It was for sure one of my top ten ocean moments. #oceanlover #turtles #byronbay Turtle is the oldest symbol for planet Earth. The personification of goddess energy. Find the joy in your life. Sometimes it’s as simple as a smile. Sometimes it’s as magical as 3 mermaids swimming with turtles and enjoying the play. #protecttheocean

10.01.2022 Hi, my name is Tara Fitzgibbon. I am the face behind Terrafirma Yoga and if you follow me on Instagram Thank-you In the spirit of the upcoming full moon and the new year 2021 ... I would like to introduce myself for those of you who don’t know me and those who do. Here goes... 1 I am a Gen X, white (& privileged) ‘straight’ Virgo woman. 2 I am a mother. I have been a mom for 20 years! I have two daughters Malia and Layla. And for 11 years I raised 3 kids. My two girls and my step son Vinnie. Now I am only raising one teenager and life is much quieter. But I miss the mess and noise that comes with a family of young ones. 3 I have been a teacher of yoga and meditation for 20 years as well. Before that I was a swimming teacher and lifeguard. 4 I have been engaged twice. Married once. Divorced. Widowed. (By suicide) I have been cheated on and lied to. (They go hand in hand) BUT, miraculously I revere the unity of marriage more than ever. I will either end up with a husband again or I will end up living a life devoted to service in an Ashram or temple. Both options tempt me equally. 5 Five is my favourite number. 6 I am shy & I feel uncomfortable getting my photo taken and making videos. Even though I am shy, I am not shy to teach yoga. Go figure! I’ve taught thousands of ppl over the years and at festivals I’ve taught hundreds in one class, but I don’t get nervous. I’m more nervous to go to a party and mingle. 7 I have a Rottweiler. In my wildest dreams I would have NEVER imagined myself with this kind of dog. But she was a gift and the best gift I’ve ever been given. 8 I am a good manifestor and I dream about writing a #1 selling book one day. 9 I love teaching people yoga and meditation. I practice one or the other every day without fail. I run Yin yoga trainings and retreats and I sincerely hope you join me one day. These course change lives. 10 I prefer to be warm than cold. Sorry Canada, that’s why I left to chase the Sun and Sea in Oz. I came looking for gold in Byron Bay (sunshine) but I am not a #golddigger. However, I love that song by @kanyewest Thanks again for following me. C u soon!

10.01.2022 I have never been a selfie kinda a gal. I didn’t grow up in that generation. But I did grow up with horses and girlfriends and champagne . Cheers to my Alberta girls! Happy 2021 and I hope to come back one day soon. @samazon77 @vanessajrosem @visaiou @wahl1970 and my Californian friend Alice @alicedishes This one is especially for you Sam

03.01.2022 *Teacher Tips Tuesday* Tree pose aka Vrksasana. When teaching this balance ask your students to focus on a dristhi and get them to think of the sole of the foot as the roots, the standing leg is the trunk and the arms are the branches. Tree trunks are solid and strong. So ask your students to engage the muscles of the standing leg into the sole of the foot. Never press the foot into the leg, that throws out the hips. The leg presses into the foot, so the leg is strong and solid just like the trunk of a tree.
