Term 2 classes have begun!
Inside Out Dance Theatre & Lazuli Wellbeing

This October will mark the 10th year that I have been teaching weekly classes in Daylesford and Hepburn 🧘🏻‍♀️💗✨

You are welcome to join these classes at any time.
Whilst regular students are on a journey, slowly building from week to week, learning, growing, practicing, integrating what has been taught before, each class also stands on its own, with clear guidance and support, meaning that you really are welcome to start, whenever it’s right for you.

Come as you are. Start where you are at. Yoga for real bodies.

When I’m not teaching yoga, I’m teaching here at the Daylesford Dharma School. I didn’t teach this lesson, but these Wisdom Garden students (Grade P-2) show that they know what is going on! Can you spot the idea that I’m excited about?

Feeling great is one of the reasons I practise yoga. Another is, that it helps me to be great. By this, I mean it helps me to be patient and calmer than I would be without it in trying situations. Why do you practise yoga?

“Yoga certainly makes you feel great, and you want to carry on feeling great.”

Nigella Lawson, the recently announced new judge on The Great British Bake Off, has revealed that she prefers slower movement to anything intense, with Iyengar yoga her go-to practice. 🧘‍♀️🍰

Over the years, exercise has helped the 66-year-old maintain her health and wellbeing. 'I do yoga three times a week,' she told Good Housekeeping. 'I have to do something I enjoy, otherwise I wouldn’t do it. The older I get, the more I realise I have got to do lots of stretching. In particular, Nigella favours 'a rather slow form of yoga called Iyengar' that highlights precision and correct positioning when performing postures, often using props like blocks and belts as support. For her, fitness is as much about overall wellbeing as it is about physical results.

This image holds a quiet truth for me.
Deep gratitude for my teacher Shayna , and the strong Iyengar yoga lineage that I belong to. For a practice that continues to nourish, deepen, inform, transform and change.

Transformation through staying.
Through depth rather than distraction.
Through one practice, lived over time, instead of many held lightly.

Four days of sustained dedication to round off the school holidays — continuous professional development at its deepest level. No final outcome to reach. The practice is the practice.

My home studio where I trained and still attend classes is offering a fantastic 3 day introductory yoga course. Run by one of my esteemed colleagues, Glenys, this course would set you up well to attend any of my General level classes here in Daylesford and Hepburn. If you are a Ballarat based person, I can't recommend Ballarat Yoga highly enough. This course would set you up well to learn yoga properly, step-by-step, from the ground up.

Whether you’re brand new, or it’s been a while since you’ve been on the mat, this 3-Day Introduction to Iyengar Yoga Course is a beautiful way to (re)start strong, steady and supported.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I’m not flexible enough.”
“I should be fitter first.”
“I don’t really know what I’m doing.”
This course is for you.
Introduction to Iyengar Yoga
29–31 January 2026
Three guided sessions.
Step by step.
Supportive, precise teaching.
Bookings now open via Punchpass.

This last week I spent learning from Pixie Lillas.

It was truly an honour to be able to practice alongside fellow teachers and long term students under the experienced guidance and eye of Pixie.

They say there’s 6 degrees of separation from you and anyone in the world. Here, in the style of yoga that I study and teach, there is 2. Pixie was a student of B.K.S. Iyengar and Dona Holleman. My teacher Shayna Ogden is a student of Pixie’s, and here am I.

I’ve come away inspired, ignited, curious and very humbled, with lots more to explore of myself and this subject.

On and off the mat.

Happy Autumn Equinox 🍂🍁

The equinox is a gentle reminder of balance in nature, with day and night, light and dark, all finding their equal place. It's a perfect moment to reflect on that balance within ourselves. Through our yoga practice, we can invite that same sense of harmony into our lives. The stillness, the breath, the steady movement – each part of our practice helps us find alignment and peace, much like the rhythm of the earth around us.

In poses like Vrksasana, or Tree Pose, we press (or root!) down through the soles of our feet whilst lifting the spine and reaching upwards with our hands. This rootedness in the feet, combined with the lift of the torso, mirrors the balance between earth and sky, grounding us while allowing us to reach outward, reflecting the harmony and balance we seek in our lives, both on and off the mat.

This photo is from last January. Today, my practise looked like being in nature as I walked around the lake with my pup, connecting to others and the world around me - and then a restorative practise in a clean space before teaching a class. How will you make space for balance in your day?
