25.01.2022 my little shadow - who loves yoga just like me. this term at SoHo Yoga kids class we are focussing on settling into our 'still quiet place', by practicing Mindfulness. by using our breath along with mindful movements - we can be fully present and find our "still quiet place'.

24.01.2022 last night I cried and couldnt sleep ~ my thoughts were racing with concern for my family and our planet ~ life as we know is changing ~ fast. this made me smile ~ went for a walk got my morning coffee and as I walked away I looked at my beautiful hand written message on the lid it made me realise amongst this chaotic wild time we are experiencing ~ it is forcing us to slow down ~ lets appreciate what we do have ~ our community, family, local coffee shops, the sky, sunrise,... this breath, this body, this moment..... this will be my class focus this week ~ appreciation - this body, this breath, this moment what do you appreciate right now?

24.01.2022 our next jewel ~ satya ~ truthfulness When we are real rather than nice, when we choose self-expression over self-indulgence, when we choose growth over the need to belong, we begin to understand the deeper dynamics of truthfulness, we begin to taste the freedom and goodness of satya. in our practice on the mat listening to the truth of your body ~ your body doesnt lie.... we practiced inversions with our little yogis and they learnt how to warm up slowly and build to our peak hand stand ~ listening to our bodies with compassion and kindness. Yamas are treasures we all need to live by. Om namaste

24.01.2022 heart is so heavy at the moment with our beautiful country in crisis ~ feeling guilty whilst on holidays and gazing around the beauty of local mountains and the ocean whilst human, animal lives and our country in severe danger. I do have deep gratitude for our communitys coming together to rally support, donations, group gatherings of meditation/prays and for slight reprieve with cooler weather and some rain. Take care of yourselves and loved ones as we love and support each other during this challenging time

24.01.2022 early morning grounding flow - to move & breathe during this unsettling time our planet is experiencing. during this time we need more than ever to continue our daily yoga, meditation & pranayama practice to keep us grounded and centred to help cultivate our inner peace. stay true to yourself, move, continue your practices at home if you cant make it to your studio. breathe consciously focusing on long slow smooth exhales. walk bare foot on grass to connect to the earth and drawing on its energy and nourishment.

23.01.2022 feeling so grateful to have taught a beautiful unwind teens workshop today. we explored techniques to help our bodies and minds to relax, rest and reduce stress and anxiety through breath and movement. Had some fun with partner games learning to trust and use language to guide our friends safely around our space. We took time to journal and reflect on our year, our accomplishments and the challenges we overcame. Then we dropped deeply into restorative poses.... Blissful zenned afternoon @ SoHo Yoga See more

22.01.2022 beautiful cleansing rain is welcomed today ~ park yoga back to my private yoga space ~ which means very happy fur babies to see all the yogi ladies again. Love is the water of life, nurturing heart & soul ~ Rumi

22.01.2022 journey into Niyamas or observances, yoga ethical guidelines. begin with the jewel Saucha or purity. saucha invites us to purify our bodies, our thoughts and our words ~ clearing from the inside out ~ outside in.... the practice of saucha or purity, we begin to lose the heaviness of waste and clutter, we become lighter, spacious & expansive. our bodies become alive, our minds become clearer, our hearts more compassionate and we live more purely in the present moment. join me on the mat this week to clean out the clutter and distractions to make space for new energy. Clayfield Yoga Studio Brisbane and SoHo Yoga

22.01.2022 taking a journey through the yamas ~ our way of becoming more intimate with ourselves and our choices. way in which we relate to the world in our communication ~ mind, speech & body. Yamas translates to restraints. first jewel ~ ahimsa. non-violence. No harm to ourselves and others. ... as we practice and move in the world ~ its not about how far we can push ourselves & our bodies ~ simply listen to what is kindness non-violence. move and act with loving kindness and compassion. give yourself space ~ time ~ before you react. OM namaste

21.01.2022 Brahmacarya ~ fourth jewel in our Yamas ~ non excess. How do we find moderation, balance in a life away from additions, cravings, habits, patterns ~ overdoing ourselves with food, work, exercise or sleep? Brahmacharya speaks of possibilities that we can break this cycle of living in excess. Reminds us to enter each day and each action with a sense of holiness rather than indulgence, so that our days may be lived in wonder of sacredness rather than the misery of excess. #brahmacharya #yogaethics #restraints #balance #moderation #nonexcess #yogaeveryday #awareness

21.01.2022 svadhyaya ~ self study ~ knowing yourself so well that you will grow into your wholeness and greatness ~ C.L ~ learning about and developing the heart-mind by awareness and listening to promote self reflection & observing ourselves in action.... this 4th jewel in our niyamas is where we become really curious, explore, observe, shine the light of awareness into our inner terrain. we unpack the boxes of our belief system, strong & often painful emotions can be released in the process. this can be scary & discouraging, like your swimming in muck at times. but I know from experience this is a cleansing release and opens to transformation and freedom! ~ #niyamas #yamas #8limbsofyoga #selfstudy #svadhyaya #yogaindailylife #yogi #transformation #selfdiscipline #freedom

20.01.2022 santosha ~ contentment ~ become more full; whole; complete and less fractured so you can settle in, relax in to what is. nothing more, nothing less is required. meeting yourself where you are at ~ is enough. ~ santosha invites us into contentment by taking refuge in a calm centre, opening our hearts in gratitude for what we do have & practicing the paradox of ‘not seeking’.... ~ join me on the mat this week and rest in to whatever your body is offering you ~ move into contentment, ~ Clayfield Yoga Studio Brisbane SoHo Yoga See more

19.01.2022 as the past decade and 2019 comes to an end ~ ~ Im ready to let go and move forward with my intentions set for 2020 and this next decade. ~ ~ this year has been the most challenging, heartbreaking year my family has ever endured. it has ripped us apart and exposed each of us to the bone. weve shed endless tears and emotions. ... ~ ~ I personally have had to open up past trauma that was never properly dealt with. ~ ~ Im so deeply proud of each of my family as we have worked tirelessly to get where we are on this last day of 2019. we have a lot to of work still to do, relationships to rebuild and trauma to deal with - but are all slowly healing. we have held together (many times I doubted if we could) and are stronger than ever as a tribe. ~ ~ what has kept me grounded and centred during this process was my regular yoga practice, teaching from my heart, my teachers who held space for me, daily meditation & breath work, our incredible non judgmental friends/family (whom Im enterally grateful for) & our fur babies for their unconditional love when we needed it most. ~ ~ much love, light & peace to all for this next journey of our lives OM Namaste See more

17.01.2022 wherever you are, be there. invest all your effort in the present moment, then the longer term will take care of itself. breathe, relax and feel take time to slow down pace of life..... ~ ~... ~ #livingmybestlife #livinginthepresentmoment #breathe #bestill #feel #slowdown #yogi #meditation #yogaeveryday See more

16.01.2022 kula is a Sanskrit word that can be translated as community, clan tribe. yoga denotes a sense of inclusion to all and belonging that can be cultivated through yogis coming together to practice. community is laughing together having some fun on our mats & holding space for each other. Community is learning how to let go of limiting thoughts, the opinions of others about us and all of the things that hold us back from truly expressing ourselves.... Community is love Love my tribe of yogis and my community of friends that love me and my family for who we are - who love and hold space for us

15.01.2022 here is my sacred space which I shall soon be live streaming classes from SoHo Yoga starting this weekend - which is a little scary - Ill be joined by my fur babies & you may here our chirping budgie in the background and possibly my kids. But this all about keeping the community together supporting each other as best as we possibly can in a very difficult time. Im worried about peoples mental health during this stressful time - we need to move, breathe and stay connected... to ourselves. Please reach out if I can help - if you need to chat, take some breathes together, move. Im here. Much love to you - stay safe and we shall rise from this. Om Namaste See more

07.01.2022 third jewel ~ asteya ~ nonstealing refraining from taking more than has been given - stealing. Sense of not having enough. We have a list of things we dont have, lets look at the list of things we do have. Lets feel that we have enough and are enough just as we are. Lets peel away our masks, we dont have steal other peoples stories, lives, possessions, our bodies to fill a void.... SO HUM ~ inhale SO ~ exhale HUM ~ I am enough OM Namaste

01.01.2022 this is my home live streaming space - it has taken me a bit getting used to this new way of teaching. I love face to face teaching, love the energy we create together practicing & witnessing students connect with body, breath and drop into the moment. Considering our current crazy wild world at the moment how blessed are we to still stay connected ~ to breathe, mediate, move and hold space for each other in the safety of our own homes. I love still seeing my yogis friends v...irtually and then after we hang back and chat and check in with each other. This afternoon my beautiful mumma joined in - I cant see her at the moment, Im pleased I can offer her a chance to practice, feel safe and supported - then talk after class till my phone dies and kids and dogs start calling. Feeling blessed for what we have in this new world we are in #acceptance #zoomyoga #newworld #livestreamyoga #feelinggrateful #stayingconnected #supportingeachother #allinthistogether #dogsloveyoga #connection

01.01.2022 quietly you lie at peace, alive against the Earth. The Earth that is still, solid, unmoving. You are still, yet for every ebb and flow of breath there is movement in your body. there is change. from inner to outer and outer to inner, the path between worlds is woven through you. the path of change. ~ anodea judith
