International Women’s Day 🌿

Today is a moment to pause and celebrate the women who shape our lives.

The mothers and daughters.
Friends, mentors, colleagues, teachers and creators.

The women nurturing families, building businesses, supporting their communities, and quietly showing up each day with strength, compassion and resilience.

On Friday I attended an International Women’s Day lunch and was deeply touched by the guest speakers who shared their personal stories, of resilience, challenges they had overcome, and the ongoing balancing act between family, work and life.

A theme that stayed with me was gratitude for the support of female friendships, and the reminder that women are at our best when we support and uplift one another rather than compete. Every woman carries her own story, and often it is through the challenges we face that we grow stronger and discover what we are truly capable of.

In yoga philosophy there is a beautiful concept called Shakti, the feminine creative energy of the universe. Shakti represents vitality, strength, compassion and the power to create, nurture and transform.

As the yogic teaching reminds us:

“When women support each other, incredible things happen.”

Today I honour the women in this beautiful community and beyond.
May we continue to support, uplift and inspire one another.

May we honour the Shakti within ourselves and within every woman... the quiet strength, wisdom and compassion that helps shape our world.

💛 Happy International Women’s Day

Hello yoga community, I've just shared a post about The Spiers Centre Inc .where I’ve been running Chair Yoga and supporting their work in the community. Their pantry is currently running low.

If you’re able to spare a few pantry items, please feel free to bring them along to class over the coming week or two, and I’ll drop everything off on my next visit to the Centre.

Thank you, as always, for your kindness and generosity, it really does make a difference. 🙏🙂 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/184s8i7nFv/

Some things really stay with you.

Back in 2023, during Seniors Week, I was invited to facilitate a couple of free Chair Yoga classes at The Spiers Centre. The response was so warm and the classes so well attended, that they became a regular weekly offering, shared with a group of truly wonderful women.

After Chair Yoga today, CEO Neil Starkie kindly showed me and some of the ladies the new works underway at the Heathridge site. The upgrades are being designed around a Psychologically Informed Environment, creating spaces that feel welcoming, safe and dignified for people accessing support.

It reinforced something I strongly believe: the way we design our community spaces shapes how people feel within them.

A strong community is one where people feel respected, included and supported, and thoughtful initiatives like this make a real difference.

As someone who is standing for Council, I’m proud that The Spiers Centre will be part of my ward, and I look forward to continuing to support the important work they do for our community.

Neil has also written a thoughtful piece about this project and the idea of dignity-centred spaces. I’ll share the link once it’s live on The Spiers Centre website.

And yes… the sea breeze was in, if you’re looking for me in the photo, I’m the one with my hair blowing across my face 😄

Happy New Year everyone! 🌿✨

How’s this for a yoga space and office? 🌅
Mat on the deck at Short Beach, Bremer Bay, fresh air, sunrise… and Thor keeping me company 🐾A little yoga is always better than none 💛

Classes are back on a modified January timetable, with the wonderful Jaimie and Tonia teaching while I enjoy a short break. I’ll be back on the mat with you from Tuesday 27 January.

Looking forward to seeing you soon, although it's going to be hard to leave this beautiful place.

A wish for you for the year ahead...

Feeling very grateful after our end-of-year celebrations 🌸✨

What a beautiful way to wrap up the year — from our Yoga Christmas Lunch with 56 of us together at Mullaloo Beach Hotel, to a lovely evening dinner at Allegria Cafe and finishing with a relaxed morning tea after our final class for 2026.

Each gathering was special in its own way, filled with good food, laughter, and the sense of connection that makes this community so meaningful to me.

As we head into a new year, it feels especially poignant to reflect that February 2026 will mark 20 years since I began my yoga teacher training — and I can honestly say I’m still learning every day. I’m deeply grateful to be able to keep walking this path alongside such wonderful people. 🙂

And a huge thank you for the thoughtful cards, gifts, and kind words — I was truly touched by your generosity and care. It means more than you know. 💛

Thank you all for being part of this year and for bringing such warmth, kindness, and presence to our shared practice.

With heartfelt thanks,
Bettina 🌷🙏

A big thank you to The Good Company & Co for the beautiful catering at our yoga morning tea today 🌸
The platters were fresh, generous, and absolutely delicious — and so beautifully presented. Everything was enjoyed and very much appreciated.
It was also lovely to support a local Joondalup café that provides meaningful hospitality training and employment opportunities for people with autism and intellectual disability. A business with heart and great food to match 💛

And thank you to everyone who came along — it was such a pleasure to finish the year together in such a warm, relaxed, and friendly way.
