25.01.2022 Loving the messages in cards from the wonderful people I teach (plus the tea gift)! Thanks everyone for your support this year. We may be wrapping up at some places, such as Sharing Places this week. Some yoga studio students are already heading off for leave and taking advantage of the local travel currently available. My holiday was in February when I visited family before the March closures, so I’m teaching through on a reduced timetable.... If you are heading away for the holidays - drive safe, enjoy quality time with your loved ones and take in some well deserved rest and relaxation. #gratitude #thanksforyoursupport #merrychristmas #happyholidays

25.01.2022 Here's another Sunday Sounds share. This music has been lovely to play during my Sadhana practice this week and even as some soft background music while at my desk. #sundaysounds #spotify #chakrahealingfrequencies

24.01.2022 Even with the impacts of Covid-19 reducing how many classes I taught across the year by half, I still somehow crossed the 2000 class milestone on the 13th of December! It's my admin day today and I was checking in on my class records. As I updated the last few weeks into the record and refreshed the running total, I sat stunned in my chair. This is a reminder of just how great the yoga community is. Thank you for your continued support for me directly and for the studios I t...each at. Without you, the students, clients and gym members, I wouldn't be able to continue to offer the classes and services you love and enjoy. - Sare (This is based on my teaching career, 2017-2020) #2000classes #gratitude

23.01.2022 I'll be home for Christmas. Will you? I have a Christmas present idea if you are! I would need to wear a Santa's helper hat to collect some marvellous goodies together. It might involve some local yummy goodies, pamper items (Perfect Potion anyone?), classes and/or treatments to enjoy over the break. Whoever receives the gift may feel like they did go away on holiday after all. The goodies and items would be packaged as a gift for the day and include gift cards for things out...side the box. The main reason for the post today is to see if you are interested? Pop a if you like the idea or a if you think you would be interested in purchasing the I'll be home for Christmas gift box. If you are definitely in for one of these gift boxes, then message me to register your interest. I will come back to anyone that registers with a complete gift box list of what will be inside and the cost. Depending on the interest, I may be able to give three different budget options. So who will be staying home this year? If you are traveling across borders, what places are you going to check out? Remember to support the local businesses wherever you may be these holidays. - Sare

23.01.2022 I picked up my pop filter earlier today and I’m getting ready to record! What audio tracks would you like to access in the Yoga with Sare Members Studio? Meditation prompts with timers Guided meditations Mantras, chants, songs, sounds... Guided relaxations Audio lessons on yoga topics Podcast Something else Indicate what you are interested in with the matching coloured heart.

23.01.2022 Today’s aroma in the diffuser for my InSync class: Sacred Journey. Relaxation Earth Flow is minutes away! Perfect Potion InSync BML #sacredspace #essentialoils #oildiffuser #sundayyogasesh #relaxation #meditation #rest #earthflow

21.01.2022 It’s Givemas at Club Lime CISAC. If you’re coming along to the Wednesday classes with me at CISAC Ladies, you are welcome to drop a gift off at reception to go to Canberra Hospital Foundation Division of Surgery. There are 156 beds in that ward. A couple of guidelines: new, unwrapped items only. They can be in an open gift bag as a way of wrapping, but do not have to be. Each Club Lime gym participating in the collection for #chfgivemas will have a wish list of appropriate items. Collections will close on 17 December. I’ll post any further details later. Out and about at the moment.

21.01.2022 Hello and good morning! I was meant to be heading to Sydney on Wednesday afternoon this week for a five day Yoga Therapy training module. The ACT Government has flagged the Greater Sydney Area and urged Canberrans not to travel to areas with known clusters. So, I'm unable to attend this year and will have to go next year. There is only a small change to this week's timetable. Sunday morning, 9:30am at Flourish Yoga Canberra will be covered by Michelle.... A reminder that you can still use the coupon FREE-PASS to get one free class online as part of Global Yoga Therapy Day! The coupon works for the online Restorative Yoga and Accessible Yoga classes on the timetable. If you're not familiar with how online booking or Zoom works, simply message me and we'll go through the process together. Did you tune into the Global Yoga Therapy Day on Friday/Saturday? I'm still catching up on some of the presentations that happened at times I could not be present for the live Zoom. If you did have a look, let me know what you thought of the event. If you have any questions coming up about Yoga Therapy send me a message. I'm happy to answer them. This week is the start of InSync's 21 Day Challenges. There are two to choose from or you could do both. Head over to InSync BML to grab more info from their Facebook feed and sign up! Get ready for some feel good vibes. Where will I see you on the mat this week? Face to face or online? - Sare #yogateacher #canberrayoga #yogatherapy #training #flourishyogacanberra #beginnersyoga #GTYD2020 #GlobalYogaTherapyDay #21daychallenge #actsofkindness #yogapractice #restorativeyoga #accessibleyoga #yogaclassesonline #supportlocalyoga #WeAreCBR

21.01.2022 Here’s a throwback to a post made three years ago. It’s still a great quote from Dianne Bondy Yoga. I was just talking with the Beginners group last night about different practices and finding one that feels the right fit for them. Talk about timing!

20.01.2022 The last two weekends, I’ve been diffusing this blend for the Sunday afternoon class at InSync. Allure is Perfect Potion’s Sacral Chakra blend of Jasmine, Sandalwood and Patchouli (and other subtler aromas) accompanied by Ginger CO2 and Cinnamon Bark to warm it up on these cold Winter days. If you want to practice Relaxation Earth Flow (a grounding, prop free flow meets restorative) and enjoy some aroma for your senses, book at InSync BML.* To smell this blend, let me know i...f you’ll be at one of my classes this coming week and I’ll bring the bottles, or you can visit Perfect Potion in the Beauty Precinct of the Canberra Centre. *Note: I only diffuse oils if all students in the room are okay with this. If anyone is pregnant or has chemical sensitivities then I respectfully forego diffusing the oils if using them will cause a reaction. #aromatherapy #sweetandspicyaromas #sacralchakra #svadishthana #gingerco2eo #cinnamonbarkeo #essentialoils #diffuser #relaxation #earthelement #restorativeyoga #yogawithoutprops #coronasafety

20.01.2022 Hello everyone! Here's this week's line up. Only change to last week is the Beginners Yoga Course at Flourish, starting tonight at 7:30pm. Do you want to join? It's not too late! There is still a space left. Send me a message and I'll help you get signed up. The Tuesday and Wednesday 7:45pm online classes with me are FREE this week as part of my celebration for the Global Yoga Therapy Day, coming up on Friday 14th. Use the coupon code FREE-PASS when booking. One Free Pass cou...pon per person, valid for single use in the month of August. Bookings are essential as spaces are limited for optimal instruction. You will be sent a Zoom link to access the class as part of your booking confirmation. If you want more information on these classes, how to book and how it works on Zoom, send me a message. Tune in at 12pm AEST today. I will be sharing my yoga story and why I am training to be a Yoga Therapist. I will also share a link to The Global Yoga Therapy Day events for anyone interested in the topics that will be covered. Have a good week ahead and if you are in Canberra, stay dry! We have wet weather forecast for most of the week. - Sare #canberra #yoga #yogatimetable #onlineyoga #yogastudio #GYTD2020 #GlobalYogaTherapyDay #yogatherapy #beginnersyoga #accessibleyoga

20.01.2022 Meditation can change your brain. Here’s a short talk from Sara Lazar (TEDx Cambridge in 2011) on research into meditation and the impacts it has on the brain. #tedx #tedtalk #meditation #research

20.01.2022 Good morning! Let's try the Anytime Fitness restart again. Last week, I was a bit under the weather and so some classes had to be cancelled. All classes are on the timetable this week. Where will I see you on the mat this week?... - Sare #springtimetable #yogaincanberra #onlineyoga

20.01.2022 Would you like to hear about Yoga for PTSD, Yoga for Amputees, Self Care for Caregivers or The Power of Integrating Yoga into Cancer Care? These are just some of the topics in the public stream of events in the Global Yoga Therapy Day calendar. The public stream is for anyone in the general public that may be interested in learning more about Yoga Therapy and the topics on offer. There are 12 presentations online and they are free to attend. Have a look at the full list of presentations here. #GTYD2020 #GlobalYogaTherapyDay #YogaTherapy

18.01.2022 Good morning! So my usual 7:30am post disappeared into the void somewhere. I prepared it last night and this morning, blip, nothing. What I said is this week is the same as last week on the timetable. Next week will change though as I head into another module of Yoga Therapy training. I will be studying from Monday to Friday next week, so only the Sunday classes will be on.... I also wanted to mention that my online members platform is taking a while to open as I do my own website creation and maintenance, video recording and editing, on top of teaching, studies and my own admin. So the 1 July goal I had set has not panned out as originally aspired to, but you know I'll still be working on it 'till it is done! I'll keep you posted. I'm off to prepare for my 10am. I hope you have a great day and week ahead, and I'll see you on the mat soon! - Sare #yogatimetable #yogateacher #canberrayoga #yogatherapy #wheredidmypostgo ? Maybe it had #mondayitis

18.01.2022 I’m ending the day with an evening Pranayama (breathwork) practice and meditation before bed. It always helps to set the space up with things that will help you to feel calm and focused. A candle is a great thing for both of those objectives. The warming hues of a candle instead of harsh bright light to increase relaxation and you can also focus your attention on the flickering light. Some incense or an essential oil in the diffuser, something comfortable to sit on, maybe a ...blanket for warmth and I’m ready! Have you tried meditating? What do you like to use to feel at ease when meditating? #meditation #himalayansalt #candle #goodevening #goodnight Pictured: Sare holding a Himalayan salt candle holder, with a warm glow from the tea light candle inside.

17.01.2022 Hello everyone! A major change in the timetable this week. Classes at UC FitX have come to an end. If you used to come to my UC classes and would like to arrange an alternative class option, please send me a PM. UC FitX may look at yoga again in 2021. We'll keep you posted. Since this change has happened, I'm going to try offering an online lunchtime Vinyasa Flow class on Wednesdays at 12:30pm. In this class, I will incorporate prop-assisted yoga for anyone joining in from th...eir workspace. This will include things you already have around you, such as a chair, maybe a wall, and a belt or scarf. The class will be low intensity, but enough to ensure you move in the middle of your working day without sitting back down all sweaty in your business wear. Zeus (the Swiss Shepherd doggo of the home) is not used to me teaching classes in the middle of the day, so he may make an appearance off to the side. It has been his habit to nap when I've practiced on the mat. We'll see how the lunch class goes. That's it from me for now. Where will I see you on the mat soon? - Sare #yogatimetable #canberrayoga #onlineyoga #accessibleyoga

17.01.2022 Hello everyone, Training week is here! Classes will be covered from Wednesday afternoon into early next week. The name of the teacher covering will appear next to the class name, so you know who will be in. There's some lovely teachers lined up, so keep up with your practice and I'll see you when I'm back. Monday... - 6:00pm Vinyasa at Flourish Yoga - 7:30pm Beginners Course at Flourish Yoga Tuesday - 6:00pm Core Yoga at Anytime Fitness Jamison Wednesday - 9:30am Core Yoga at Club Lime Ladies CISAC **Covers Start Here** - 7:00pm Yin at Balanced Yoga - Emily Thursday - 6:00pm Vinyasa at Flourish Yoga - Suzannah Saturday - 4:00pm Yin Yang at Change Yoga Scullin - Emma - 5:15pm Restorative at Change Yoga Scullin - Janelle Sunday - 9:30am Vinyasa at Flourish Yoga - Kat - 4:00pm Yin Yang at Balanced Yoga - Lorelle The next available times for Reiki or Thai Yoga Massage are on the weekend of the 26-27th June. Update: Sunday 27th is booked out. Hopefully, I'll be able to post a few updates when I'm away, but I do not expect to spend much time online while I delve into Applied Yoga Therapy. If you send me a message or email, I will reply after I return.

17.01.2022 2020 was a year of stress, uncertainty and emotions in constant flux for Australia. Through the catastrophic South East Coast fires last Summer and the Covid-19 pandemic, communities banded together to help each other, albeit through technology when we could not be physically close. We have done well here in the ACT, to keep our communities as safe as they can be and life feels like it has a sense of Covid-alert normalcy as the year closes. It was a considerably rough year f...Continue reading

17.01.2022 Hello Monday! And hello to you too. I'm back with another week of yoga class options and some of the names are changed! Restorative Movement is now Restorative Yoga. A class full of improvised props you have around the home to support you in a restful and unwinding practice before bed on Tuesday evenings.... Breathe and Flow is now Accessible Yoga at Home. Accessible Yoga is for underserved communities and people that would otherwise find yoga inaccessible to them. Here's an accessibility question for thought: What if you could not stand for half a class or at all? Maybe sit. What if sitting on the floor causes hip or back pain? Maybe sit on a chair. What if sitting in general causes discomfort? How about lying down? Yoga is not a one size fits all practice and we need to embrace our individuality and differences. The aim of this Accessible Yoga class is to bring the yoga practice to the comfort of your own home (a great option if leaving home for any reason is not possible), using what you have available to you and working with how you feel on any given day. The flow and approach of the class is to nurture and invite your own exploration of yoga, equipping you with ideas and customisations for practice. We will check in, breathe, move and come into a restful state to finish this one hour evening class. Energy Flow is now Vinyasa Flow. We will still focus on themes around energy at times, but I wanted to change Restorative and Vinyasa to names most of my students can associate with. If you aren't sure what these names mean - maybe you've done yoga, but not known the style of class or you are familiar with other names than these - feel free to message me to learn more about what the classes involve. UC, Flourish, Club Lime Ladies and InSync are all as per usual. My unlisted classes that were on term break are back this week. Also, Anytime Fitness Jamison will be reviewed later this month. If you're one of my regular students there, keep an eye on the weekly update posts for when we will reactivate. Lastly, Beginners Yoga is starting soon at Flourish. Mondays at 7:30pm to 8:30pm. To enquire or register email: [email protected] That's all from me. Have a great week and I'll see you on the mat soon! - Sare #gymyoga #yogastudio #yogaonline #canberra #CBRlife #yogateacher #yogatimetable #accessibleyoga #restorative #vinyasa #beginnersyoga

More news coming in a separate update. #yinyang #yin #balancedyogakingston #yogatimetable #newclasses

15.01.2022 I love using dowel explorations for alignment (along with blocks and straps). This morning, I came across a great example posted by the awesome Trina Altman. We’re not using props in studios and gyms right now, but you could imagine a dowel or broom handle along the length of your back as you sit towards and rise up from Utkatasana/Powerful Pose.

13.01.2022 Thanks to Maria Scrivan for making this lovely little cartoon I just came across! It's definitely a key to Meditation or even Savasana at the end of class - learning to stay. I've had my fair share of people leave (or bolt for the door) when I say we are coming into Savasana. I don't take it personally when people leave in that transition point between winding down and coming to rest for five to ten minutes. I've had people say: - I have another class I need to get to (at the... gym) - I have an appointment to get to (doctor, physio, dentist, etc.) - I've got to get back to work (usually when the class is 60min and they can only stay for a 45min class) - I'm catching up with friends for a coffee (or some other social engagement), but thought I'd squeeze yoga in as well today. I haven't had these reasons given, but I know they can occur: - It makes my body feel uncomfortable to lie still for so long on the floor - My mind won't shut up - I came to workout, not lie still on the floor - This is too spiritual/hippie/new age for my liking - I'm afraid of falling asleep on the floor and snoring - I'm worried I'll fart/make some embarrassing noise while the room is quiet - I think I'll disturb the class because I cannot sit still/cough when reclined/sneeze when there's a temperature change, etc. Challenge: If you are a person that has walked out of class when the teacher says "Savasana," I challenge you to stay. Sometimes, Savasana has been dubbed "the most difficult part of the yoga class." It could be the most difficult part for one of the reasons I've listed, or not. Either way, I challenge you to own this part of your practice too, just as much as the Asana (poses). This is a little message of encouragement to anyone who has difficulty in staying for Savasana or sticking with a Meditation practice. If you stay, you are allowing your body to integrate and absorb the practice you did. You are giving yourself five to ten minutes out of a 24 hour day to be present and notice how you're actually doing. That may be noticing your mind is rambling on a to-do list or that your back is aching. So what if your mind won't shut up? We're not aiming to suppress thoughts. We may want to give the mind some space to vent and let go of the whirlwind of thoughts though. Maybe noticing your body and whether the practice you just did was of any benefit? Your teacher will give you some suggestions on what can be done in a Savasana and then you can choose how you stay with that time. Give it a try. #savasana #meditation #learningtostay #mariascrivanart #cartoon Check out Maria Scrivan's cartoons on her Facebook page. It's a lovely collection!

12.01.2022 For January, I’m focusing on the breath. We’ve had a lot of things happen in 2020 and the start of 2021 that would impact our ability to take a good quality breath. I won’t write a full recap on everything as we are all in this together. Sometimes if we can notice how our body, emotions and mind space are doing, we may notice the breath reflects when we are relaxed, sad, under stress or anxious. How have current events made you feel in the body? How are your emotions and sta...te of mind? If this is already making you uncomfortable without even going into details, then do not delve further. Everyone has their own breath patterns and it is useful to know yours. For example, identifying when you are experiencing, stress or anxiety. You can then harness the breath to diffuse some of that. It’s important to mention that not all breathing practices (Pranayama) are beneficial for people. Some practices may elevate anxiety or exacerbate sinus congestion, for example. There are a lot of benefits too, such as increased parasympathetic response (the rest and digest part of the autonomic nervous system) and mental clarity. Let’s take a moment to breathe. If you are open to doing this, take a deep breath in through the nose while lifting the shoulders towards the ears. Then give a big sigh out through the mouth while letting the shoulders drop down. If the first one felt good, try taking another two. This is what I call Falling Out Breath, which is used at the end of asana practice, before savasana. The breath falls out the mouth on the exhalation. Who loves using this breath practice? More to come soon. #breathe #breathwork #pranayama #fallingoutbreath #parasympatheticresponse #observingbodystate #observingmind #observingemotions

12.01.2022 Here's a message from Kieran at InSync BML about two 21 Day Challenges that are starting this Monday, 17 August. There's a 21 Day Small Acts of Kindness Challenge and a 21 Day Yoga Challenge or you could get adventurous and do both! Let's get into some simple acts of kindness to others and ourselves this month. - Sare... P.S. I'll see the InSync Sunday Relaxation Earth Flow class tomorrow afternoon. Only one spot left last I checked! #21DayChallenge #actsofkindness #yogachallenge #InSyncBML

11.01.2022 How is this for a restful room?! Thai Yoga Massage and Energy Healing offerings are available at Balanced Yoga in Kingston. Floor mat or massage table options, depending on your mobility. I’ll be working through the holidays and can open some more availability for appointments if there’s interest. Would you be interested in having a holiday massage or Reiki treat between Christmas and New Years? #thaiyogamassage #reiki #treatmentroom #rest #recharge #wellness #metta #metime

11.01.2022 It’s Global Yoga Therapy Day! Here’s a little background story on why I started my yoga journey and why I want to become a Yoga Therapist. I also address what the difference is between coming to a mainstream Yoga class with me and Yoga Therapy? I was trying to keep it succinct, so if I missed any information you would like to know about, ask away in the comments. ... #GlobalYogaTherapyDay #yogatherapy #GYTD2020 #mystory

10.01.2022 Have a safe and happy Christmas, wherever you are!

08.01.2022 I will be attending this online Yoga Therapy event on Friday, 14 August - the Global Yoga Therapy Day! Tune in on Monday, 10 August at 12pm, when I will share via Facebook video: - What is Yoga Therapy? - Why I am studying to be a Yoga Therapist, and - How yoga has made a difference in my life.... I have another module of my training coming up later this month in Sydney. Fingers crossed that I'll still be able to safely drive up to the city for the training by then, but there will be a backup plan if it is impacted by Coronavirus travel restrictions. More to come on Yoga Therapy soon! - Sare #GYTD2020 #GlobalYogaTherapyDay #YogaTherapy #YogaTherapistintraining

08.01.2022 Hi all! Just a reminder that the Club Lime Givemas event is wrapping up next week! The people in the Canberra Hospital Surgery Ward will be the recipients of the donated gifts. More details in the image, but basically select something for a patient (ages range from 16 to elderly). The gift has to be new as preloved items cannot be accepted and leave the gift unwrapped. If you want, you can put it in an open gift bag. That’s it from me for now. Have a great weekend! - Sare... #tistheseason #Givemas at Club Lime

08.01.2022 This photo was taken on Bandanna Day 2019 at Club Lime Ladies. Bandanna Day is coming up in October and I'm checking in with you, yoga family! Would you like to get your hands on a bandanna this year and support Canteen? I know some of you missed out last year, so I'm onto it early, making sure no one misses the message. There are some new designs coming out in the mixed box this year. Great little stocking stuffers for Christmas (yeep, I said that word!), to keep the sun off... your neck or head, decorative or doggo-rative - there's a paw pattern and one with dogs this year! The selection also includes indigenous designs, rainbow , animal (including a cute koala one ), and food - like pineapples or the sushi design. Can I please have expressions of interest, either by a or a comment if you want to say something? If there is enough interest in my community, I'll grab a box. $5 for cotton, $15 for the satin (they only send four satin by the way). I need to make the order soon for delivery of the box to me sometime in September. I'll talk about how you can get your bandannas at a later date. First things first - who wants some? Sare #BandannaDay #canteen Photo: Sare and six other women on the Club Lime Ladies studio stage, holding up a selection of 2019 bandannas.

07.01.2022 And I'm back on track with some More Than Asana posts. In my last post, I talked about Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and the Eight Limbs of Yoga. The Eight Limbs are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. In this post, we're starting off with the first of five Yamas. You could liken a Yama to a law of life or how you interact with the world around you. Ahimsa is considered as non-harming. What do we consider as harm? I'm not going to go into the m...any negative connotations that arise with the word harm. I'm sure we can all think of a handful and none of it nice. How does Ahimsa, and the rest of the Yamas, tie into our yoga practice? For one, yoga can be taken from your yoga mat out into your everyday life. Practicing kindness in thoughts, words and deeds is a good way of working on non-harming. On the yoga mat, I have tried these examples when focusing on the Yama, Ahimsa: - As I explored my poses, I noticed if I was working my body to where it felt comfortably challenged in the practice. It's important to listen to what the body is capable of doing each day. Pushing or forcing the body past its range, strength or endurance could potentially cause harm through injury. - While in poses, or even in Savasana at the end of a class, I could observe what internal dialogue I had and whether my own words to myself or thoughts towards others are kind. How do you practice kindness and actively reduce harm, whether that is related to yourself or others? If you found this post useful, let me know if you're looking forward to the next one, Satya. #yogicphilosophy #yogasutras #ahimsa #eightlimbsofyoga

Also, it's the last opportunity to use the FREE-PASS coupon when booking the Tuesday or Wednesday evening online classes, as part of a Global Yoga Therapy Day offer I made for the month. If you are in Canberra, how did you go with the extra chilly weather we had over the last week?

If you particularly feel the cold, you're welcome to bring along a blanket for Savasana.

05.01.2022 Good morning! Anyone else put their Christmas tree up over the weekend? Usually I have the habit of Christmas decorating on December 1st, but what's a few days early going to matter? I'll be busy with classes. Last year, we were packing to move house. We didn't have a confirmed destination at the time and with everything up in the air, well more like packed up in boxes, there was no tree at home that time. On the week that we tick over into the pre-Christmas holidays lead up... and the last month of 2020, here's what I've got lined up for you: Monday - 12:30pm YWS Accessible Yoga Online (Donation Class) - 6:00pm Vinyasa at Flourish Yoga - 7:30pm Beginners Yoga Course (Week 7) at Flourish Yoga Tuesday - 7:45am YWS Vinyasa Online - 6:00pm Yoga at Anytime Fitness Jamison - 7:45pm YWS Restorative Yoga Online Wednesday - 9:30am Yoga at Club Lime Ladies CISAC - 12:30pm YWS Vinyasa Online - 5:15pm Yoga at Anytime Fitness Jamison - 7:00pm Yin at Balanced Yoga Kingston Sunday - 9:30am Vinyasa at Flourish Yoga - 4:00pm Yin/Yang at Balanced Yoga Kingston - 7:30pm Relaxation Earth Flow with InSync Online I enjoyed meeting everyone that came along to my first Balanced Yoga class yesterday afternoon. The second of the new classes at the Balanced Yoga studio starts this Wednesday evening. Thai Yoga Massage and Energy Healing appointments have restarted. At the moment, 12pm-4pm on Saturdays and 12pm-3pm on Sundays are when bookings can be made. It's easiest to message me to check for availability, as bookings are also dependent on if the room is free.
