It's been a while beautiful people.
I took some time this year..
Journeying through that Spartan Race of personal development we like to call 'divorce'.
I stepped away from my mats & my practice.
I tapped out.
I had fumes in the tank, a beautiful toddler & 2 wonderful other jobs that needed all I had left while I navigated the changes.
I didn't want to be inauthentic and repost other people's insightful content for the sake of keeping up appearances.
I wasn't feeling enlightened, centred or worthy of this space.
In all honesty I considered selling all my stock & walking away from my little passion project entirely.
But these beautiful mats can't help but be noticed and the msgs I got from people asking me to turn the website back on or when I'll be selling again kept the embers burning.
I made it through the fire and am now enjoying every second of this new chapter.
I firmly believe as hard as this year has been I've been carried through it by some of the most incredible strangers turned close friends, loving family that scooped us up, and chance encounters so profound i had to question if these people were placed in my path on purpose.
I started this biz to raise money for elephants by making the space you practice more beautiful.
Break Free Yoga is my slow burn but I love her and I am back to claim her.
When we feel like our life and identity is dissolving into circumstance and obligation, its these embers of intent and the ideas that still fire us up that we have to hold on tightly too. These are what carry us through to the other side.
I'll be turning the website back on for BFY in January, shipping Australia wide.
I have some ideas im working on in the back ground to grow my baby, to collaborate with some incredible thought leaders and wellness influencers and continue to spread the message of compassion and kindness for both the world's 4 legged and 2 legged inhabitants.
See you back on the mat soon

The wonderful thing about the most athletic and beautiful poses you see people do in yoga is the one thing that connects all of them.
The starting line.
Every advanced practitioner you see in a mind boggling arm balance or back bend that more resembles the curling of a fern then a human spine all began with a simple down dog.
All balancing poses are rooted in someone's first tree pose they probably fell out of 20 times.
All back bends grew from the micro bends of the cat/cow pose and then blossomed into a wheel and then pincha.
We love to celebrate advanced yoga poses because to us, they tell a story of the journey of commitment, discipline and the celebration of a lifestyle that a person is now living that they weren't not so long ago.
Asanas show the evolution in our practice and us as people and I hope these images encourage people to look beyond what looks "too hard" and consider that they too can learn to move their bodies in the same ways.
One of my teachers in India told me there not many people in history who could do every single yoga pose.
Our bodies are all so different we should never aim to do them all.
It's not a completion.
It's not about ego.
Asanas are beautiful whether beginner or advanced and we are all capable of yoga.

Good morning Yogis! I've been a little quiet on our pages lately.
💐
Taking some time to reconnect with my practice, reestablish a meditation practice and just find some general inner quiet.
💐
Do you find your daily life is a bit 'too much' at times?
Have you over committed? It's easy to do.
💐
I've been putting into practice the wisdom from and my mentor Simon Ji and enjoying shedding some of the 'noise' in my life.
💐
I started journalling.
I quit coffee.
Ive limited the news and social media.
💐
It feels AMAZING😇
💐
💐
💐
It's OK to be busy.
💐
I have a fully time job that I love, a casual job, a family, this wonderful business that allows me to to combine my passions, and an irregular but thoroughly enjoyable yoga practice. Im busy.
💐
What's not ok is when you can no longer find space between your thoughts. When the buzzing is too loud and you can't sleep or you sleep fine but your always exhausted and anxious.
💐
💐
I challenge you to take a look at your commitments this week?
Is it too much? Do some things need to shift?
💐
We are cruising down the home straight of a really challenging and unique year.
💐
It's a great time to start making tiny refinements, tiny adjustments before we welcome 2022.
💐
I can't be the only one needing a refresh.😉
💐
Happy Tuesday all XX

When I was 15 I was standing in a women's only gym in North Brisbane with no clue about exercise, and I saw a woman in her 70s bending and twisting and contorting in a way that competely defied my idea of what a 70yr old was capable of.
The woman saw me watching her and she came over and said to me "can I give you some advice? Never stop stretching, no matter what. A healthy spine and a strong body will keep you upright when everyone around you is hunched over.." and then she walked away not knowing she had completely changed my life forever because even though I didn't realize it at the time, that was the day I found yoga.
✨
Im forever grateful to that stranger in the gym nearly 2 decades ago.
Has anyone else had a random interaction that changed their life/career/beliefs??
I'd love to hear it😊✌

Closing down the eyes and going inward is not about emptying your mind, but dissolving the mind and connecting to the greater energy that surrounds, supports and holds you.
You cannot be in a state of deep connection and ever feel lonely, just as you cannot open your eyes and not feel love and compassion for those around you.
Feeling the still vibes from the wonderful and her Ocean to Eternity mat.

Whether you are unrolling your mat in a studio, on the beach or whatever floor space you have whilst in lockdown today, remember there are no limits to where the mind can travel. The body is not essential to freedom, only breath.
Stay safe Yogis.
