25.01.2022 Making my flu juice. What helps you get through the cold & flu season? #garlic #tumeric #chilli #ginger #yogifood

25.01.2022 A timely repost of an old favourite. We've had our fair share of sniffles this winter.

25.01.2022 Perfectly still sunny morning to make a nature #mandala #outdoors

24.01.2022 My 3yr old son enjoying some #yoga on a little #beach getaway we took recently. #amazingview

18.01.2022 The creaking of the hills hoist, the warm morning breeze, the smell of laundry drying, the sun peering through the tops of the mango tree as I rest on the grass while baby sleeps. #pocketofslow #sound #touch #scent #sight

18.01.2022 Even though I've stopped my group classes due to new baby caring duties, I'm lucky enough to still be teaching a few private classes in the evening while hubby looks after the kiddies. This young lady / superstar #yogini is such a pleasure to teach! Perfecting our warrior 2. Benefits: strengthens the legs, arms, opens the hips and chest, creates focus, balance and generates heat. An energizing pose perfect for cooler autumn mornings. #yogapose

16.01.2022 The first bloom on the cherry tree! Oh how much l adore deciduous trees. How they remind me of the cyclical nature found in everything. How to savour the changes because nothing is permanent and that makes it special #impermanence #yogaphilosophy

14.01.2022 MINDFULNESS THROUGH SMELL If you've been to one of my classes, you would be very familiar with my use of the 5 senses to reach mindfulness while in yoga asanas. I really don't think there's much point in creating a yoga practice that doesn't involve the mind as much as the body. Taking it off the mat, spring is the PERFECT time to take a walk around the block and engage the sense of smell. Open those nostrils up and inhale! (Apologies to the hayfever suffers out there). During my walks, I make sure to take the route that leads me to a beautiful cascade of star jasmine. I stop and stand there for a few breaths. It's the most delightful moment! I'm completely in the present moment.

13.01.2022 Very grateful we have a beautiful nature reserve walking distance from our home. Living in the inner west makes me long for #nature. Feeling the breeze on my face, sun on my back, hearing the sound of a babbling brook. #pocketofslow

12.01.2022 Had a chance to dip in the ocean the other day and I had a wonderfully slow moment. Taste of salty water, hearing the waves lapping and feeling encased in beautiful healing water. #pocketofslow

12.01.2022 Hand washing the slow cooker pot. Scent of lemon dish liquid and watching the pot foam up white. Yes, #pocketofslow is not always magically glamorous #life. Tag @themarvellousyogi in your instagram posts to share your pocket of slow with me

11.01.2022 Our next door neighbour's living fence has just bloomed. Smell of heaven. Not sure what these flowers are called? #pocketofslow #scent #smell

08.01.2022 BREASTFEEDING & MEDITATION Hey breastfeeding mamas. What do you ponder about when your little squish is having a feed? Have you ever thought about using this time to meditate? Yes, I know it's not always possible to be in a Zen mode when breastfeeding; toddler wanting to grab hold of the other boob, bub turning around to see what that noise was (whilst dragging nipple along)...in my experience, now with bub no. 2 I have found some quiet breastfeeding moments when I can close... my eyes and take a few deeper breaths. I'm not talking about the formal lotus sitting pose meditating. All I do is count the breath: 4 counts in and 6 counts out. For however long is possible. Any number combination will do, just as long as the out breath is longer by a couple counts. I hope you try it and let me know how you feel. I guarantee a calmer, more centred you! See more

06.01.2022 My home is normally filled with mess. Toys, dirty dishes...it's taken me a while to accept the mess as I like things to be in order. I still keep a few nice things within the chaotic mess that I love looking at, like this red rose coupled with some chalky blue candlesticks. I often find myself experiencing a #pocketofslow by simply and quickly glancing at these beautiful objects. Simple thing. Simple act. It works for me in many ways. #sight #mindfulness

06.01.2022 How true is this? Yoga is the only way I can achieve this and admittedly it doesn't always happen. It's a process. #yoga #yogatruth

05.01.2022 I've developed a bad habit of looking at my phone or reading a book whilst eating. So I'm going to try my best to use my meals as times to find #pocketofslow chewing, feeling textures in my mouth, tasting flavours... #taste

05.01.2022 Wish I had those hips. #babyyogi

05.01.2022 Admittedly, I don't have a consistent formal meditation practice. I used to and it was glorious. Now I have kids that wake me up consistently at 5.30am BUT what I have managed to cultivate are POCKETS OF SLOW. I think everyone can do this, no matter how time poor. So I'm going to try to inspire at least one person to start finding their own pockets of slow: Moments during the day when you stop and use one or two of your 5 senses to witness something happening right now. I'm going to #pocketofslow some of my moments of slow over the next two weeks and invite you to do the same. Why? Because why exist if you're not present...at least sometimes? Because constantly living in the realm of the past or the future is not real life and will make you sick. Because life is a beautiful thing to witness.

04.01.2022 One advantage of not cutting the grass...watching and hearing the bees bouncing from one #dandelion to the next. Can you spot the bee?#pocketofslow #sound #sight

03.01.2022 Trying to sleep in the boot of the SUV because the car is the only guaranteed place my little man and little lady will nap simultaneously. Feeling the vibrations of the diesel engine underneath me and watching the grey clouds moving by. Placing my hands on my belly I can feel it beating underneath my fingers, as it digests lunch #pocketofslow #mindfulness

02.01.2022 Just walking. Feeling how my hips move from side to side. Feeling how my pelvis tilts. Feeling which muscles in my legs contract. Feeling the bottom of my feet as they touch the ground. Feeling my breath. #pocketofslow #touch #breath
