If your body and mind is already feeling the busyness and tension of being back at work, school and regular routines, let this upcoming long weekend be the pause you need 💕

Our first Sound Bath + Yin class for the year is on Sunday 25 January, 3pm to 4.30pm, and we’d so love for you join us.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:

😌 Deep relaxation for your nervous system - soothing sounds help your body shift into a natural state of rest and recovery, lowering stress and tension.

🧘🏻‍♀️ Mental stillness and peace - gentle tones quiet the mind’s chatter and invite a calm, present awareness.

❤️‍🩹 Emotional refresh and healing - vibrations encourage release of tension and promote balance, leaving you feeling renewed.

If you’re looking for a soft place to land and recharge, this class is for you - no experience needed, just an open heart.

Holidays for us is not just about resting - it's also about the eating 😋

It's an opportunity (for Jaccy 😆) to experiment with new recipes. To try new and old favourite restaurants. And to indulge in cheese 🤩

This Christmas, the culmination of holiday deliciousness was Christmas lunch at Angel's House, a very cute French bistro that's become our go-to special occasion spot. If you haven't been, we highly recommend it.

There's always a bit of a slow down, on everything really, after the big day. Especially around what we eat. Having a few (days 🫣) of indulgence is ok every now and then - the mind and tastebuds love the experience, but your digestive system... not so much.

This is the perfect time to turn your attention towards cultivating the inner fire, agni.

Agni is the principle of fire in the universe, the transforming force. Agni is how one substance evolves into another.

Physically agni helps to balance your digestive fire for optimum health. When agni is strong, digestion feels light and efficient, and you feel energised and clear.

But when you overindulge, agni can become weak or imbalanced, leaving you feeling heavy, bloated, and foggy.

Ayurveda teaches us that agni is not just about physical digestion but also about how we process experiences and emotions. When your inner fire dims, it’s like trying to cook a meal on a barely flickering flame - nothing quite gets done properly.

So after the indulgences of Christmas, it’s natural to feel sluggish as your body signals it’s time to gently stoke that fire back to life.

And this is where your Yoga practice can help. Moving your body and breath to activate your inner fire in a way that is easeful and effortless, whilst staying cool and calm in the midst of summer's heat.

Anyone else's inboxes overflowing this week? After spending the last few days sorting, replying, and so much deleting, it finally feels like we're on top of the business side of life. Personal admin is still all over the place 🫢 but as with most things in life, it's always a work in progress 😊

Getting back into life can be rough after two weeks of luxuriating in comfy clothes, ocean dips and Mediterranean style dinners... no wonder we're already talking about the long weekend this month 🤣

A longer weekend comes at a perfect time for us here in Australia - a little relief, an extended exhale to regroup after the franticness of starting a new year.

It's a mini-break (sounds super cute 🥰) to reset and restore for the rest of the year to come.

The long weekend this month is going to be super special - some things we can tell you about and others are a little surprise!

Let's talk about Sunday first - 25 January.

Our first Sound Bath + Yin class for the year is on Sunday 25 January, 3pm to 4.30pm, and we'd so love for you join us.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:

😌 Deep relaxation for your nervous system - soothing sounds help your body shift into a natural state of rest and recovery, lowering stress and tension.

🧘🏻‍♀️ Mental stillness and peace - gentle tones quiet the mind’s chatter and invite a calm, present awareness.

Now about Saturday 24th...

Beach Yoga will be on as usual 🤩 8am to 9am at the gorgeous South Beach.

But the surprise... we're still finalising all of the details but we are going to have 10 x gorgeous, sweet, adorable 🐶🐶🐶 taking over the studio 😍

Happy Sunday 😊

Tomorrow the studio is open again 🎉

Our first class will be 6am Monday 5 January, followed by all of your favourite classes throughout the week (same schedule as last year including our monthly Sound Bath + Yin special event on Sunday 25 January!).

The summer solstice on 21 December marked our transition from Kapha season (spring and start of summer) to the hotness of Pitta season (summer) until we move into autumn.

For those of us who are Pitta dominant, or Pitta imbalanced, this time of year can be tough 🥵

It's been a hot summer so far, which can feel intense and sharp.

If you've been feeling like you're overheating (physically and mentally), irritable and stressed at nothing, you're not alone. The heat of summer can exacerbate the inner heat and stress, so instead of being out there enjoying nature, you're chilling yourself in the air con, drinking another cold, fizzy drink and feeling a little perturbed about... something you're not quite sure about.

Yes we need coolness at this time of year! Having another salad and iced water can help, if eaten at the right time of the day so that you don't stifle your inner digestive fire. But it's not just what we put on and in our bodies that can bring coolness.

Your Yoga practice can also be a sanctuary of cool, calming spaciousness ❤️

Tending towards easeful and relaxed practices is what suits most of us at this time of year, focusing on calming your nervous system and encouraging a peaceful and heart-centered approach to Yoga and life.

Finding ease in your posture is what is most important during this heat. Can you stay open-hearted in your movement into the asana whilst being kind to yourself? Can you soften into the tighter parts of your body, wherever that may be? Can you let go of effort to simply be in the moment?

The Bhagavad Gita teaches us "It is better to perform one's own duties (or work / life purpose / asana) imperfectly than to master the duties of another". So be your beautiful self on and off the mat - the world needs all of us with our unique and beautiful expressions of life 💕

Welcome to the beginning of another amazing year ✨

Sometimes it feels like the years are simply passing by at rapid speed, and it's important to intentionally create a life that's yours - a life that brings you joy and contentment.

We'd love to invite you to join us in consciously creating your best ever year by setting, or reconnecting to, your sankalpa for 2026.

You'll have heard us mention this in class... "take a moment to connect with your sankalpa... repeat your sankalpa 3 times..."

The new year is the perfect time and energy to set intentions - not resolutions though!

Most of us have had the experience of "I'm going to go create a healthy meal plan for weekdays" or "I'm going to exercise every day to lose my Christmas comfort layer" or "I'm going to stop buying takeaway coffee and save more money" - and failing miserably at achieving the goal 🫣

Sankalpas are a little different 😊

Setting a sankalpa, a heartfelt intention or a guiding principle for your practice and life, can provide clarity and guidance as you move through the coming months.

They aren't "I will/I'm going to", they are "I am".

It's about connecting to the final outcome of your intention, seeing that it has already manifested in your mind and heart, and making the choices that take you to that intention.

A sankalpa can help align your thoughts, actions and energy towards the intention that you're manifesting - whatever that intention may be that is most important to you 🥰

If you'd like a link to our sankalpa guide, comment "intention" below!

With immense gratitude for the year that's just been, and excitement for the coming year together, thank you!

We can't wait to see you in practice again very soon. Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, and fulfilling 2026!

As we sit to write this final note of the year to you, our feelings always come back to kritajnatā - the Yogic concept of gratitude.

Even though every day distractions and big life struggles can cloud our connection to gratitude, it's important to take time to reflect and give thanks.

Gratitude for your next breath.

Gratitude for those close to you who support you.

Gratitude for your community.

Gratitude for living close to nature.

Vitamin G aka Vitamin Gratitude - it's essential to a full and purposeful life ✨

For when our hearts are filled with gratitude, we're lead to santosha - contentment.

Contentment that comes from within, for where you are right now. Appreciating the simple joys of life and the gift of community.

Thank you for sharing your presence, heart and practice with us this year. It's you that makes Mala so special. You are our most important source of inspiration and joy, and your presence truly enriches our community and fills us with gratitude 🙏

We're so honoured to be on this path with you and are grateful for your support and friendship. It is because of amazing people like you that our community thrives and shines ✨

Grateful hearts and content spirits ❤️

From our heart to yours, wishing you a loving and joyful Christmas and New Year.

With love
Nick, Jaccy and the Mala team

We've been dog sitting this week - Loki (also a staffy) is Olive's big, goofy little brother, who is equal parts annoying and intriguing to her.

Two dogs in the house means epic staffy snoring. Thankfully the duets were mostly during the daytime 😅 Squeaks, woo woos, snorts, even "human" snoring.

Still super cute though 🥰

They really do have it sorted. Big walk or swim in the morning, then back on power charge. Bark at the w***y wagtail dancing on the patio, then power save mode again. They have these little bursts of action, but it's mostly 16 hours of sleeping each day 🤣

Dogs just might be the greatest Yoga teachers in the world. They truly do listen to themselves. They prioritise self care (and demand it if you're not attentive enough with the pats!). They honour their need for sleep.

This is something us humans are not very good at 🫣 Get up early. Stay up late. No siesta. Coffee to stay awake. We push ourselves so hard and forget about the one thing that could make the biggest difference to our health - sleep.

Especially at this time of year, sleep can be even more overlooked. There's the to-do list to finish. The extra office hours to wind up work for the year. Kids that have finished school and now require even more of your attention.

Try to squeeze in an extra half hour of rest to your schedule... it feels impossible.

It's why this week we are slowing things down in practice, both our personal practice and what we're teaching.

Asana is a beautiful aid in helping to boost energy from lack of sleep at our 6am classes, and also calming energy at our 6pm classes to get you ready for sleep.

The icing on the cake in practice, especially regarding sleep, is Yoga Nidra. So for this week, we're including this very special practice to help you glide effortlessly into a place of deep rest and calm.

Yoga Nidra is the sleepless sleep, a practice to place your mind in deep rest. An opportunity for your nervous system to recalibrate and your mind to slow down to experience the profound healing and regeneration of being in this state.

And we're very honoured to be sharing this practice with you this week 🥰

We all intuitively know that we need to slow down right now - but somehow there still feels like too much to do 🫣

Imagine carving out 90 minutes to be still, letting Lyndal's soothing instruments and magical voice wash over you...

Your nervous system will thank you. Your mind will find a little moment of quietness. You'll finally let go of the stress and tension from doing all month.

Our last Sound Bath + Yin class of the year is this Sunday and we'd love for you to join us to restore and nurture your whole being 💕

✨ 3pm to 4:30pm

Sometimes, the intensity of energy at this time of year can be a little much 😳

In Yoga we call this energy rajas - the buzzing, busy state that makes it hard to find calm and stillness.

When this energy dominates, your nervous system can feel like it's on high alert, constantly thinking and planning. Being in this state is exhausting.

It's important that you take time to cultivate the calm, serene energy called sattwa. That you remember to fill your own cup - to take some time for yourself.

So that you can be your best, most relaxed self for when the moments of joy and connection happen with family and friends 🥰

Yoga creates space for conscious, active rest and our last Sound Bath + Yin class of the year is your opportunity to restore your energy and nurture your spirit.
