🧹 CLEAR SPACE, CALM MIND 💭

Spring cleaning? Decluttering? Ever faced a mountain of clutter and wondered, “Where do I begin?” 😖

That’s exactly how I felt after my husband lost two close relatives recently. I found myself sorting through over 10 large garbage bags of possessions — mostly clothes — which felt overwhelming. Some clothes were good enough for op shops, but many were labelled with their names (because both were living in aged care facilities) or damaged, so these clothes were likely be discarded.

Beyond the clothes, we still have boxes of possessions and papers sitting around from when we helped move them into care facilities. All that clutter just blows my mind and weighs me down. 🤯

Psychologists say that cluttered spaces can increase stress, while clearing physical clutter frees up mental space, increases focus, and helps us feel more in control. 👍

In my latest blog post, I share the Sydney-based recycling, donation, and disposal services I’ve found helpful for managing all this stuff and more—including everyday items that often end up in our rubbish bins like bottle tops and coffee cups. If you’re facing your own decluttering challenge or want to learn local options for responsibly passing on belongings, this post could be a great resource.

✋ ENOUGH. 💥

I call myself an all-or-nothing girl—always thinking of the to-do’s, trying to squeeze in one more thing, stretching myself thinner and thinner. Even when the body signals for rest, I keep pushing until my body finally shouts: “Enough.” And I’m forced to stop. 😶‍🌫️

This is the third year in a row I’ve found myself unwell at this time. You’d think I’d have learned my lesson by now. I’ve spent this week trying (and failing) to ward off the flu—just so I could join my sister for a little getaway. I’m still not 100%, but this time of connection, rest, and ocean air has been healing. 💙

If your body is calling for rest, don’t ignore it.

Rest. Breathe. Heal. ✨
Rest isn’t weakness. There’s strength in the pause.

With the long weekend here, take time for yourself—however you need it most. There are no classes on Monday, so give yourself permission to simply rest. 😴

🪑 CHAIR OR MAT? 🧘‍♀️

Why not both? One participant in my Thursday Chair & Mat Mixed class shared:
“This [chair & mat mixed class] is my rehab … this is stronger [than the chair-based] and ... I feel I’m getting stronger.”

If you’re drawn to chair yoga but still want the option to practise from a mat, the Chair & Mat Mixed class is designed for that flexibility and moves at a gentle, slower pace to support all participants.

In fact, you can do the whole class completely in the chair, or completely on the mat, or mix and match any way you like. 🤗

While my General Yoga classes also offer variations to suit different abilities, the Thursday class has a special focus on supporting this kind of flexible practice.

Curious? 👉 Come try a session or join me at a monthly community yoga class and see if it works for you.

See the class timetable here: https://www.lailinyoga.com.au/timetable

P.S. 📅 The next Spring Community Class is Sunday, September 21 — hope to see you there! 😊

😰 OVERWHELMED 🧠

The mental load has been especially real the last couple of days. I’ve been juggling teaching, social media posts, cooking, washing up, laundry—and yet my to-do list still looms: paying bills, booking venues for 2026/2027 (!?), weeding the garden... and don’t forget the regular chores! 😱

It always feels like there’s something swirling in the back of my mind—tasks, worries, and responsibilities that just don’t disappear.

But a student once shared after a Tuesday night yoga nidra session, "[Yoga nidra] doesn’t solve my problems, but for a minute, it feels like there are no problems." 💕 And she’s right. Even 15 minutes of meditation helps me reset and refocus.

If your mental load ever feels overwhelming too, why not try my yoga nidra class? It’s completely online—you can join via computer or dial in like everyone else currently does—all from the comfort of your own space. Give yourself permission to just be, even if only for 30 minutes!

✨ To book, see lailinyoga.com.au/booknow or DM me for details! ✨
