LAST CLASS TOMORROW

I’m soon Out of Studio and most probably, off social media and instead staring endlessly into Baby’s eyes. Come along tonight to Community Kirtan or my last Jivamukti Open class tomorrow morning, as I’ll soon be taking a break from teaching for several months.

Big thanks to .photography for capturing the pregnancy glow up last weekend 🤍

I genuinely thought everyone would be too cold and too tired from the storms last night to come out to class this morning… Imagine my surprise at a full house and covert brunch and baby celebration operation!

If you’re not in my inner circle, or haven’t been to class this year, you may not know - I am pregnant. For months I’ve been meaning to share this, mostly so people know my classes will be finishing up for a time, but every time I tried to draft this post, it felt kitsch and the aversion grew. How could I possibly convey in words just how personal and joyous the experience of sharing this - our own private, immaculate universe - has been? And people’s generosity already has been overwhelming…

Between Colleen and Adrienne, this child has the most impressive collection of handmade, boutique quilts. Between Mara and Sally, this child is blessed with decades of parenting wisdom and homemade treats.

Between Jill and Kamahl, this child has been enriched by deep philosophical discussions over coffee after class and equally, between Rob and Charles, this child knows how not to take spiritual endeavours too seriously!

Between Nadine, Joel, and Lauren they have and will keep esteemed musical company. Between Rosemary and Monique, this child knows that God has many names, but we are all ultimately singing one song.

The yoga poses and fit-spiration may get people to class but the satsang (uplifting company) is the glue that keeps you there, and there are so many others that I don’t have the word-count to acknowledge. If you’ve come to a class with me on a Saturday morning over the last three years, thank you for your generous presence in my life.

Next Friday night Monique and I will have our final Community Kirtan of the year, there are still a few spots left. The next morning, the 6th of September, will be my last Jivamukti Open class for 2025.

Please feel welcome to join us ✨

The thinking mind cannot remain still when holding an image, imagination or picture.⁠
Our body and mind are constantly changing with different images”⁠

This month we’re contemplating the depths of the workings of the mind, whilst exploring the depth of tissues in our hips.

Join us.

Ahimsa! A simple sanskrit word, yet one with extreme power to positively change the world around you. How, you may ask? Well, let’s review its basic meaning, which is Non-Harming. Now let’s expand on that and explore some of its most potent synonyms, which are… kind, compassionate, generous, good, affectionate, amiable, charitable, compassionate, considerate, cordial, courteous, friendly, gentle, gracious, humane, kindhearted, loving, mindful, sympathetic, thoughtful and tolerant.⁠
⁠
What is extreme anyway? The word is often defined as “being of a high or of the highest degree or intensity” The foundational concepts brought up through the study and practice of ahimsa are sometimes labeled as extreme, not because of the positive change they may bring about but because they are so far away from normal. For some it may seem extreme to get the word Ahimsa tattoo’d on your forearm (as I did) or to adopt a vegan diet. And to the same people it may not be extreme at all when confronted with the massive waste of resources and animal suffering that goes into raising animals for food. It seems that the question of what is extreme depends on where you are sitting. Yogis have traditionally been the champions of testing the limits of what seemed extreme to positively change themselves and the world around them.⁠

July brings with it an animal rights Focus of the Month, so we’ll be twisting to a playlist of some epic vegan musicians. As is tradition, we’ll celebrate NAIDOC Week with a playlist of solely First National musicians.

At the end of the month our Jivamukti Basics class will deepen into exploring backbending asanas. Our satsang this month will be a vegan pot-luck style movie night at my house, watching a film produced a few years ago by the author of our July Focus of the Month. The film is about the history of the Jivamukti Yoga method, called What is Real? It’s impossible to watch it without being uplifted 🎥🍿

A photo story of my quick trip to my island home for the With Touch weekend workshop with and .

To say this 8 hour workshop exceeded my expectations is an understatement! Sandy and Sas are phenomenal Jivamukti Yoga teachers and my hands on assists just improved 1,000 fold as a result of their teaching. Hobart/Nipaluna you are so lucky to have them!

A trip to Hobart is never complete without a few visits to veggie cafe and I was so happy to catch whilst he was in town!

Sandy, Sas and I are birds of feather - my people - and I couldn’t love them more. My heart was so touched by the loving care of their hands on assists - I wept in shavasana. When consenting, the nurturing touch of a knowledgeable teacher can transform our asana practice and reveal the spiritual goal of the practice 💓

A few mind-blowing resource conservation stats from 13 YEARS of being VEGAN 🥑

“You need to get down to get up!” Sharon and David would often say. Those many hours of direct learning alongside other humans in different continents and across significant milestones of my life has formed a visceral cherished memory. I appreciate how our teachers always encourage us to look deeper, underneath the surface and outside the mainstream societal constructs; how they ask us to learn through relationship, our inter dependancy, interconnectivity, the ancestral innate knowledge of belonging on this Earth.

As a species gifted with imagination, awareness, consciousness, compassion and wisdom we have the power to build from the ground up. The ability to dig out weeds and compost rot that might be contaminating the soil and replace it with seeds of compassion, forgiveness and love. They are asking us to get to the root, to be radical and generous, stretch; go deep. This attentional direction applies not only to urdhva dhanurasana, sirsasana, tadasana, but also to situations in life where we would be best served by learning from the earth, the decay and fecundity, the roots and mycelium. Can we stand in the spirit of reciprocity, receiving and giving back as we stand like a mountain or a tree, as we breathe in and as we breathe out? The experience of the extraordinary through the ordinary, a falling apart and coming back together is present in each moment if we are only able to notice it. As we learn to mine gold from our hardships; we can catalyse our pain into empathy and begin seeing ourselves in others and others as us. To quote Sharon Gannon, “when otherness dissolves then there is Yoga.”⁠

Dance of Differences ⁠
by Huma Jalil

04/06/2025

We’re focusing on the dance of differences and relationships this month, so there is only one sequence to choose from: chakra balancing, which I love during the slower winter months.

There’s some special offerings (that only come around every 3 months) also being offered this month in Community Kirtan (alongside exquisite , booking link in bio) and an iRest Yoga Nidra the following morning.

I’ll be away in Hobart / Nipaluna the last weekend of the month. I’m so excited to see and for their With Touch (hands on assists) weekend workshop. I haven’t refined my assists since my teacher training several years ago, so I feel very rusty! I can’t wait to dive deep into this important component of the Jivamukti method, in the very best and most virtuous of company! Hands on assists can be a portal into a deeper and even more profound experience of the asana; if you know, you know ✨

“See better, Lear”! – The Earl of Kent in King Lear, Shakespeare: Act 1, Scene 1⁠
⁠
After he’s told to get out of his sight by King Lear for standing up for Cordelia and speaking the truth, the Earl of Kent urges Lear to see better. Seeing better, clear seeing, looking closely, taking a closer look, so as to see the larger picture, this advice the loyal counselor gives his king is one we find in the teachings of yoga. The Sanskrit word for looking closely is upekșa (from upa = to go near, toward + ikșa = to look at) – going near to look at. The implied instruction suggests that upekșa is an invitation to see better so that we can engage with our situation with perspective and clarity.⁠
⁠
Lear’s capacity to see better, to see clearly was obstructed because he was blinded by stubbornness, pride and power. Stubbornness, pride, power, anger, jealousy, fear, prejudice – the list of obstacles that give rise to our blind spots goes on.⁠
⁠
A blind spot is an area in our range of vision that, for whatever reason, goes unseen. Blind spots prevent us from seeing fully, impairing our ability to relate to the immediacy of our experience with perspective and ease. Blind spots are of the realm of avidyā (a= not + vid = to know, feel, experience, recognize). Avidyā means delusion, ignorance, mis-knowing. It refers to a persistent, unrelenting, deep-seated misperception and is the first and root-cause of all the kleshas – wave patterns, interferences, afflictions we get caught up in.⁠
