✨ 21 DAYS TO GO ✨

The countdown begins!

For years, I’ve held the dream of creating a sanctuary where we can gather in movement, sound, and stillness. A space to restore, release, and reconnect. That dream is about to blossom into reality 🌿

On Saturday 25 October, The Wellbeing Collective will open its doors…a sanctuary for mind, body & soul, here in our community of Singleton 💚

I invite you to be part of this beginning. Bring your breath, your heart, your curiosity, and let’s step into this journey together.

Drop a 💚 in the comments if you’re coming or would like more info…

In Sanskrit, ‘pancha’ means ‘five’, and ‘mahabhutas’ means ‘the great elements’.

These five elements comprise of:
🌌 Ether (Akash)
💨Air (Vayu)
🔥Fire (Agni)
💧Water (Jala)
🪨Earth (Prithvi)

Understanding the pancha mahabhutas will enhance your comprehension of your connection to nature and the Self. 🤎

🔥 What is Agni? 🔥
Agni is the fire element which governs digestion and transformation in your body.
This digestion takes place not only through your digestive system, but through all of your sense organs (pancha jnanendriya).
When agni is insulted, imbalance takes place and the disease process starts through the accumulation of toxins, called ama.
A few examples of the way agni can be insulted is by eating unconsciously, irregular mealtimes, or having a lack of acceptance in life. 🔥

What does this quote mean to you? Hearing these words from my teacher was a profound moment for me.
How simple and true these words are, but how complicated and overwhelming at the same time. When you don’t know which doctor or specialist to trust, and everyone is telling you conflicting information, where do you even begin? Following my own cravings wasn’t even working, so how can I trust myself? What does “feeling well” even mean for me? Have I ever truely “felt well”?

Since practicing yoga in the last 6 years, I have been becoming more in tune and sensitive to the subtleties of my mind, body and spirit. I realised that I felt “kinda off”. I had bag under my eyes constantly even though I was sleeping the recommended amount, I went to bed every night feeling slightly nauseous, I had reflux, gas and bloating, I had low energy, etc.

These symptoms, although not as obvious as having a specific health condition, were still uncomfortable and impacted my quality of life. I knew something wasn’t quite right, but I didn’t know where to start as western science would give me a blood test, tell me to take a multivitamin and that I was probably fine because nothing was showing as wrong.

Different health fads and trends never appealed to me or suited me as an individual, but I knew I needed to keep searching for some guidance.

So one day I had a thought, “Ayurveda and yoga go hand in hand, I’m going to learn about Ayurveda and see what happens”. So I just went for it, and oh boy has Ayurveda changed my life!

Before undergoing my Ayurvedic training, this was a complicated and overwhelming statement as I didn’t know where to start or who to trust. My experience with Ayurveda is that it just makes sense. The more I learn about it, the more I see how logical it is. It’s a holistic science which means it’s looks at the entire person as a whole, not just the isolated symptoms.

Ayurveda is not a quick fix solution, it requires patience, but the changes I have felt overtime are worth it. I am beyond excited to work 1:1 with people in the near future! 🤎

What is Ayurveda? 🌿

Ayur(life)-veda(knowledge/science) is a holistic healthcare system which aims to restore the mind, body and spirit back into balance. ⚖️
Ayurveda, originating over 5000 years ago in ancient India, is a shashwat (unchanging) science, which recognises the individuality of each person and their unique needs. 🧬
It prioritises restoring natural balance and fostering wellbeing within yourself, rather than solely addressing disease symptoms. 🦠
Ayurveda can empower you to rediscover your innate understanding of the wellbeing of your mind, body, and spirit. 🤎

My last day of teaching Yoga Flow will be Tuesday 29th 😢

I had hoped to continue until the end of November, but pregnancy is reminding me to slow down and listen to my body.

I don’t have a set date for my return yet, as I want to focus on nourishing myself after the arrival of our new family member. The best way to stay updated is through social media.

Join me for two more weeks of flow before I go on leave! 🤎
