Welcome to Green Door Yoga - we're glad you're here. We practice connection, well-being and warmth. Let's begin together.

I just had the most fabulous three days. Being a ambassador has given me so many opportunities, but it’s also surrounded me with incredibly inspiring people.

I learned that everyone in the room wasn’t just there because they loved movement. Movement acts as a catalyst for mental resilience, creating community, and growing as a person.

Whether it’s running an ultramarathon, or training the body to sit for long hours in meditation, the physical can lead to so much more; a gateway to expansion.

New friends, new fits, and an accidentally stolen robe (fedex-d back to ) - I loved it all.

In yoga and Ayurveda, travelling is known as a pretty un-grounding experience. You’re in a new place, new time zone, and you’ve spent time in the air, increasing your Vata and smooshing your hip flexors.

To stop me feeling yucky and spacey, and to get me into a grounded mental headspace, I have a little travel kit that helps me feel like me again - perfect for a big three days at the Ambassador Gathering in Melbourne.

First quarter of the year off to a beautiful start 🥰 lots of celebrations of love, lots of nature, lots of good food.

Setting the intention for this second quarter of the year to be more self-focussed, though not selfish - filling my own cup to pour for others.

Notes on busy-ness: on living, loving, and everything in between.

Just as Yoga and Ayurveda are sister sciences, you might call Madeleine and Gen soul sisters. We tend to do things similarly, at similar times.

So it comes as no surprise that we got engaged within weeks of each other... and are getting married within weeks of each other in August.

Apparently, organising a wedding can be quite a busy experience (who knew!)

We pour so much energy and care into creating our day retreats, and we never want to offer an experience where we can’t give you our full hearts, focus, and attention.

So, we’ve made the call - we won’t be holding any Ayur-Yoga Day Retreats in 2025. We promise, when they return, it’ll be worth the wait. But in the meantime, there’s still magic to share...

💫 We’re hosting our next Ayur-Yoga Supper Club on Saturday, June 28th. Join us for an evening of food and connection, all experienced through our signature Ayur-Yogic lens. Tickets open later this week - DM to be first on the list.

💫 We’re also so excited to host an exclusive, intimate, four-day retreat - The Reset. We’re waiting on just two more wellness enthusiasts to join us - if that’s you, reach out for more details.

Thank you for all your love and excitement as we celebrate and navigate this busy season. We can't wait to gather with you again in all the ways, big and small. 💘

Love,

Gen and Madeleine

If you've never been to a supper club before, let alone an Ayur-Yoga Supper Club, you might be wondering if it's really your scene.

If you find yourself resonating with any of the following statements, we think you'll love the experience.

🌿 You feel anxious, stressed, and hyper-sensitive around autumn and early winter.
🌿 You want to learn to eat to feel balanced in your body and mind.
🌿 You crave mindful community based around connection, not alcohol.
🌿 You find that yoga helps you feel grounded and steady in your body.

Join us for mindfulness and movement, education and eating, and connecting with community, on Saturday March 29th, from 5:00-8:00pm.

Yoga and Ayurveda: Sister Sciences for Mind-Body Balance ✨

Yoga and Ayurveda are deeply connected. While Yoga focuses on the mind-body connection through movement and meditation, often called the world’s first psychology, Ayurveda is a holistic medical system for balancing overall health. Together, they create a powerful path to well-being.

Yoga is...
🧘‍♀️ A practice for spiritual growth and connection.
🧘‍♀️ Comprised of physical postures (asana), breathing practices (pranayama), meditation, and more.
🧘‍♀️ A tool to help with mental clarity, and to help you find your place in the world.

Ayurveda is...
🌿 An ancient medical system focused on body-mind healing and balance.
🌿 Based on three individual body-mind constitutions, or doshas.
🌿 Comprised of healing herbs, diet, and above all, daily routines.

Ayurveda and Yoga originate from the same ancient texts: the Vedas. Coming from this same fount of wisdom, these practices were never made to be separated. By using them as they were designed, by intertwining them, each supports the other.

Yoga and Ayurveda are designed to heal you on all levels, connecting you to yourself and to something greater.

Join Madeleine for our first ever Supper Club on Saturday March 29th, to experience for yourself the intertwining nature of these sister sciences. Bookings via the link in bio.

This week in my classes we focussed on the weight of history behind our yoga practice. It may surprise some to hear, but the vast majority of the poses that you take in a yoga class are relatively new, with only a handful (including this one, Child's Pose) having any kind of historical presence.

When we take these ancient poses and practices, we experience the weight of history, like an energetic echo of the thousands of years of practitioners behind us, dedicated to spiritual connection. We can also feel the future, the thousands of years of practitioners in front of us.

It is important that when you practice yoga, you do so in a way that respects and holds dear the ancient parts; not just a feel-good and fun experience, but one that has been proven through thousands of years of dedicated trial and error to bring you closer to your Self. This respect allows you to practice more fully, to connect more deeply, and to see yourself in the wider context of Yoga.

COMING UP:

💫 Yin + Reiki: a healing experience with at , Friday 28th February. Bookings via the Equilibrium website.

💫 Ayur Yoga Supper Club: a nourishing evening with at , Saturday 29th March. Bookings via the Modern Ayurvedic website.

I deleted social media on January 1st, and I've had the wonderful experience of feeling my brain knitting itself back together. Apparently there are some people who don't scroll for hours on end, bored to death and wishing they could stop the entire time - a valuable skill, but not one that I have. I also put my phone on greyscale (learned from the brilliant Jade at .life), so screens feel deliciously boring.

Pleasant surprises:

🫂 I was nervous that I would feel so disconnected from everyone, but I feel so much more connected. I'm able to reply to messages and phone calls without feeling overwhelmed. I have so much more energy for in-person connection, whether it's with friends or family or students - I'm especially looking forward to Madeleine and my supper club at the end of March!

🧠 I can think my own thoughts. My brain isn't filled to the brim with thousands of opinions of others, and I can be more creative, more thoughtful, and more spacious in my thinking.

📚 Reading feels more easeful and flowy - I can sit and read, and if I need a distraction I can look out the window, rather than frantically scroll. Embarrassingly, when I first deleted the apps, I found myself opening my phone and tapping at the space where the app once was. Now that circuit is shut off, I can do one of my favourite activities fully and wholly.

What are your thoughts on a social media detox? Has anyone been able to wean themselves off or set strict limits, or are you like me and need the cold turkey route?

You liked the last one, so here’s 5 (more) things I’ve learned from 15 years of practicing yoga:

🌵 “Aim for contentedness, rather than happiness.”
Aiming for happiness will always leave you disappointed; it’s a high that goes down as naturally as it goes up. Contentedness is a peaceful kind of joy, the ability to feel uplifted by the present moment.

🌲 “The best way to learn and grow is to find yourself a teacher.”
For many of us, the last time we had a formal teacher was at high school. We’ll all learn by trial and error as we bumble our way through life, but I save myself a lot of pain by having a spiritual teacher that knows more than me.

🌳 “There’s a person beneath your personality.”
This one is twofold: first, a reminder that no matter how engrained your patterns, they can be changed if you really want them to. Secondly, a connection to the witness state: if you’re able to observe your personality, your thoughts, your emotions, that means there’s something deeper doing the observing.

🌴 “Sitting in stillness is one of the greatest (and hardest) skills you can ever do.”
Pascal said that all of humanity’s problems stem from our inability to sit quietly in a room alone. All problems? No. Many problems? Yes. It’s hard, and it’s life changing.

🪴”We are all consciousness expressing itself (and therefore, all connected.”
This might be a little complex for a short insta caption, but it’s a core tenet of yogic philosophy, and one we dive deep into in 1:1 sessions. You are consciousness, I am consciousness, your dog is consciousness, and so is your yoga mat. We are all connected.

Depressed states feel like your soul has been drained from your body, and as though everything is a little bit dimmer. If you're feeling low, these three tips can be done if you're able to move around in the world, but also if you're unable to get out of bed.

Here are three things I do when I'm feeling low, and why you should do them too:

1️⃣ Breathe hard and fast. By increasing our breathing rate in a deliberate, controlled manner, we can increase the amount of energy we feel. Bonus points for kapalabhati, as it is designed to mentally clear any mucky gunk from the inside of our mind. Make sure to blow your nose before these breaths (ifkyk), and to check any health contra-indications.

2️⃣ Find sensation. By creating sensation in our body, we become aware of a feeling of alive-ness. If you're able to get out of bed, try a strong vinyasa practice, or even just a chair pose/utkatasana held for a little longer than you'd like! If you're not able to get out of bed, try a progressive muscle relaxation meditation.

3️⃣ Practice service. Yogically and scientifically proven, service of others relieves a low mood and reminds us of our connection to the world and to other people. If it feels too hard to leave the house, try sending love and compassion in your mind to those

If you experience depression or a low mood often - apathy, sluggishness, fatigue, or slow thoughts - the Boost group yoga therapy sessions will be perfect for you. Held monthly on Saturdays, join me for the next one on Saturday December 7th. Bookings via the website.
