25.01.2022 Hi Yogi's, I want to make a post about a celebration of love for one of my students, Lauren. She got married last weekend and has agreed to share some photo's of her day with her yoga community. Lauren is an amazing young woman with strength beyond words, that flows between her yoga mat and her daily life. I know she will approach her marriage with as much focus and dedication as she does her yoga practice...as an interesting part of yoga is that the way we are on our mats re...flects how we are as people in our everyday lives. Lauren is focused to the end and breathes her way through challenges with a sense of calm and balance. Lauren, from all of us here on our yoga mats, we wish you both the happiest of marriages. Time to connect with your heart chakra, the chakra of love. Namaste CLASS SCHEDULE: Please note...changes to Wednesdays .

24.01.2022 Hi Yogi's, It is with a somewhat heavy heart that I write this post. Not only are we finishing up another year of classes but I am finishing up my time with this amazing yoga community as your teacher. It is time for me to embrace change and move my life to Melbourne to live, work and indulge myself as a student of yoga yet again. Over the years I know only too well that life is constant change. Nothing is permanent.... Sadly I have not been able to find a replacement yoga teacher for all my classes. Here is the heaviness in my heart. Thankfully, we have found a teacher who is willing to take one class in Numurkah on a Monday night (see Numurkah Learning Centre for details) to which students of each of my classes will hopefully attend if time suits. In the meantime, this week and next, we will be enjoying time after class to celebrate the year end and the excitement of what this change means for all our lives. CLASS SCHEDULE MONDAYS: Naring Hall 7pm - 8.30pm 11th Dec Last Class..followed by a light supper. TUESDAYS: Numurkah Learning Centre 7pm - 8.30pm 12th Dec Class as usual. 19th Dec Last class followed by a light supper.

22.01.2022 To all yogis and yogini's, Wishing you all a Peaceful and Happy Christmas followed by a relaxing beginning to the New Year. I hope you find time to sit back and feel gratitude for all that you have in your lives.... Namaste Libby

21.01.2022 Hi Yogi's, Reminder: Tuesday class this week has a Melb Cup Holiday. It's easy to feel a wee bit let down with the weather after the return to cooler days and nights.....but wow...what a Sunday we are having. Perfect Spring days are upon us.....those hot days of summer will be here soon enough and we will be struggling in the heat....so I hope that you can get out and enjoy this wonderful season for all it has to offer. Let's move while we still feel like it. ...Continue reading

19.01.2022 Hi Everyone, I will be in town this weekend and teaching a yoga class on Sunday morning, 10th June, from 8am to 9.30am at the Numurkah Shire Office in the Presidents room. It will be loosely based on Ashtanga yoga with a few safety tips and practice changes I have picked up at my classes in Melbourne. Basically it would be just lovely to see you all again on your mats, to breathe and enjoy the peace of yoga together.... If you cannot make it to the class, we are going to the Butlers Pantry for brunch afterwards so feel free to join us then. If interested please contact Janine at the Learning Centre on Ph: 58621300 Namaste Yogi's Libby

18.01.2022 Hi Yogi's, As I sit here writing this post, I can hear the beautiful sound of hundreds of frogs in the water way beyond my garden. The nights are full of their song which is carrying on into the day after that amazing drenching rain we had on Thursday. Yoga has developed in me the ability to really appreciate nature through learning proper breathing and practicing mindfulness. ... As a blossoming yogi; be mindful of how you tread upon the Earth. As we nurture ourselves, nurture our connectedness with nature. How often do you really stop and take a moment to soak in all the natural sweetness your senses are exposed to? Stop and listen to the frogs singing, rejoice in the sounds, sights, smells of the season and feel part of something so much bigger than ourselves as we merge with the magnificence of Mother Earth. Enjoy your Sunday. CLASS SCHEDULE: Please note...changes to Wednesdays.

15.01.2022 Hi Yogi's, Welcome to another beautiful spring week. This post will focus on Triangle (Uttihita Trikonasana) and Revolved Triangle (Parivritta Trikonasana) poses.... Take a look through the pics below for a review of alignment cues and benefits. One of the challenges of this poses is to avoid collapsing in the lower back. Keep the torso rolling open so that it remains in line with the extended leg. This may mean that you will have to back off from reaching for the toe until you are able to align the shoulders with the front leg. For the revolved version of triangle, it is important to lengthen the spine in a spiralling motion from the sacrum through to the top of the head. This may be achieved by squaring the hips and then extending through both sides of the torso evenly before you twist. The dristi for both poses is the upper hand.

11.01.2022 Hi Yogi's, The earth is warming up and doesn't it feel amazing! I am excited to announce that we have re-opened my beginners yoga class on Thursday nights at 7pm to 8.30pm. This class is a great introduction to the basics of yoga, breathing techniques, simple standing and seated poses and a lovely 10 minute relaxation to finish off. If you have been on the fence about wanting to try some form of yoga, this is a great opportunity. You never know until you try and if it doesn'...t suit, there are many other styles of yoga out there to which I can direct you.

11.01.2022 Hi yogi's, I will be visiting Numurkah again in two weeks and teaching a class at the Learning Centre on Sunday the 15th of September. Come along if you have time. Its a nice time to catch up. Namaste Libby

09.01.2022 Hi Yogi's, Happy Sunday to you all....and...happy school holidays! Classes are running throughout the holidays as usual..however for Numurkah and Naring classes, please bring your $15 to each class you attend as these holiday classes are not included in the last 5 block payment. If you have missed a class or two in this last term you do not need to pay for the holiday classes.... We start the next block of 5 classes the first week after the school holidays. This weeks pose tips are for the Warrior poses. It may seem strange to some of you to have poses named after a person involved in violent acts given that yoga encompasses the idea of non violence. But what is really being commemorated in the warrior series of poses, and held up as an ideal for all practitioners, is the 'spiritual warrior,' who bravely does battle with the universal enemy, self-ignorance (avidya), the ultimate source of all our suffering. What I like to take from the Warrior poses is how we can develop our ability to stand strong in the face of 'challenge' and remain calm, present and powerful using our breath. This is a skill we can turn to time and time again off our mats in our daily lives as let's face it.....we are constantly presented with challenges and stressful situations. My goal is to be able to remain calm, strong and fully present when faced with challenges and the only way I can be better at this is to practice it! Yay for warrior poses in our yoga practice. Enjoy, Peaceful warriors.

08.01.2022 Hi Yogi's, I have been talking to many of you about my nephews racing efforts and this post is late because I have been away this weekend watching my him compete in the Motor Bike Racing Australian Championships at Phillip Island. He has been racing in two classes all year and has been in the top two all the way through pretty much. Unfortunately this last weekend proved a challenging one as during three races out of six, when he was leading, his bike had mechanical issues an...d he could not finish his races....moving other riders up in points. Jack finished an amazing third in Australia in both classes...with great acknowledgement of the 'gut wrenching' challenges he faced with his bike. We are extremely proud of him and know that he is top class in what he does. Back to yoga and my classes, we are starting a new block on all days. Please see the schedule below for dates and bring payment into class, or pay online or directly to the Numurkah Learning Center.

07.01.2022 Hi everyone, Such a gorgeous day to start the first week of October! My post is simply this quote to inspire you further in your yoga practice.... "I am inviting you to go deeper, to learn and to practice so that you become someone who has a great capacity for being solid, calm, and without fear, because our society needs people like you who have these qualities, and your children, our children, need people like you, in order to go on, in order to become solid, and calm, and without fear." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh Again this week, we have our school holiday set up for Numurkah and Naring classes where you drop in and pay $15 unless you have missed a class during the term.

No longer will we need our socks and blankets for relaxation.....although I do recommend a light sarong for those of you like me who tend to feel the cold....especially once we start using the air conditioner. We are heading into our last block of lessons before Christmas...can you believe it?

04.01.2022 Hi Yogi's, I have the privilege of teaching an early morning class on Fridays @ 5:30am in Numurkah. A group of enthusiastic woman created the class, some of whom practice twice a week. I feel proud and am amazed to find such dedication here. Truth be told, I have always wanted to get up and practice yoga before the sunrise...so this gave me the perfect motivation. It is had to motivate yourself to get up and practice on your own at home, I fully appreciate this, but I now kno...Continue reading

01.01.2022 Hello Yogi's, Li'l bit late on my yoga post sorry. Isn't it lovely to see some sun and feel warmth again. Hello spring indeed.....bring it on.... The pose focus pics i have attached below are to support our conversation we had in class on Tuesday night about alignment in our vinyasa flow....and specifically the pose called 'Chatarunga'. You can see quite clearly the difference between correct alignment of the shoulders, elbows and hips...and can probably see which one is closest to your practice at the moment. Building arm and core strength is key to managing the full chatarunga. Even if you just practice keeping your elbows tucked in and lowering yourself to the floor..with hips elevated...for most of your practice...you will slowly build up strength and knowledge of how you are moving in space. The other pic is of everyone's favourite pose.....'The boat'. I have no problem admitting that this is one of my big challenge poses....as I cannot straighten my legs. Again...core, hip and thigh strength are key. Small steps folks....unless we keep practicing...we will never develop the muscles required to lift and hold. Take a look, have a think about the key elements and alignment and give them a go at home in your own time. We will discuss them again in classes this week.
