Slowly I am beginning to adjust my practice and lifestyle to suit my changing body.

I haven't kept up a strong practice as I had to reserve all my energy for my classes in my first trimester. Before, between and after classes I tended to crash with exhaustion. While I knew this was necessary, I still had to fight guilt in my head over not practicing.

I also had to throw away any ideas about how I was going to eat while pregnant... I thought I would try to do alllll the healthy things. Well that didn't work as my body had a very different instinct - it did NOT want salads. Just looking at leafy greens made me feel ill. It didn't want oil on any veg. It wanted straight up high energy carb/protein heavy foods. Give me a plain oven baked potato and I'd eat it like an apple 😅 I kept a whole stack of them in the fridge

My energy is now back to normal and I feel really fantastic. I can eat salads 🥗with feeling repulsed by the ingredients and Im ready to bring more strength 💪into my practice. I'm sleeping a lot - quite easily sometimes getting 9-10 hours a night 😴 but apparently I might not sleep for the next 9-10 years so I'll lap it up while I can!

It's a time of adjustment and surrender to what is rather than what I feel (or others feel) it "should" be.

A huge thank you to those who have been so supportive in this time of adjustment. My places of work/coworkers have been just amazing. Family and friends have allowed me to be a bit consumed about what is happening. Soon-to-be mothers and new mothers have been unbelievably helpful, even donating some seriously amazing baby items ❤️ Liam and I are beyond grateful and lucky x

The bump has arrived 🥰 16 weeks and I can't stop touching this bump when I get into bed! Started to feel the "flutters" of movement. Hoping to feel a good kick in maybe in a couple more weeks!

Expecting July 2021 🥰

Liam and I are beyond excited to become parents - to a boy or girl, we don't know and we won't be finding out until they arrive into this world!

We are fortunate to have so much love and support around us within Sydney, across Australia and around the world ❤️

2020 was a tough year for many but it was also the year that began this journey for us. It's not been without anxiety, headaches and exhaustion (oh my goodness the exhaustion is intense) but I can't wait for this chapter of our lives 👶

It's heartbreaking to leave a studio, even when it's the right thing to do.

It is gut wrenching to say goodbye to students you've connected with. Seeing them grow their practice is incredibly special. Having them let you into their lives and share their ups + downs and their lightbulb moments - oh those lightbulb moments when something in their practice lands... It's indescribable.

So while its hard to say goodbye for now, I feel also immense gratitude to have found work that truly lights up my life ✨

Nothing is permanent - except change!

With the amount of physical work that I do, a monthly sports massage is not a compulsory part of my self care. I've now been to 4 times and they are beyond amazing. Each practitioner is so friendly and knowledgeable. I'm so relieved to find such a professional and yet warm environment to help me take care of my physical body ❤️ 🙏

You only have one body and if you don't take care of it, where will you live?

The other day a student was telling me about how her partner has discovered yoga. She mentioned that if you'd told him a few years ago he'd be wearing active wear and loved yoga he would have laughed in your face.

If you'd told me 6 years ago that I'd be not only practicing yoga more regularly than I have done any physical activity in my life but also teaching... Oh and I would no longer eat meat and taught myself to cook...🙄

This is all proof of how capable we are of changing, adapting and growing. Beyond our wildest dreams.
Especially when you decide to make something a priority in your life.

Move your body in a way that you love ❤️

Throwback to this lovely mother's Day walk 🥰 what a day and what a weekend it was after pretty much no contact in 7 weeks.

It blows my mind time and time again that we live in this beautiful place. Countless stunning walks just a few minutes drive away.

We have also been fortunate that covid-19 did not hit us in a way that we were fearful it might. Instead of 6 month's of lockdown, we had just under 2 months. I've heard a fair few people comment on how much they have actually enjoyed this down time. No commuting/traffic, less pressure, less money spent, more time to be creative, to read, to exercise, to begin yoga and/or meditation...

We've seen friends for dinner parties, walks and brunches these last two weekends. Such a treat to be able to socialise! A real privilege considering how many people are still needing to stay inside.

Now just waiting patiently for yoga studios to open up again.... 🧘🕉️
