Gather & Ground With Kirsty White is offering something very special in our Yoga Shala at ClarenceNaturalTherapies....

A time to set conscious intentions, a space to open your heart, slow down, and reconnect.

✨ Week 1 Intention: Presence ✨

This week, we begin our journey by returning to the foundation of it all: Presence.

Presence is the art of arriving fully into this moment - with your breath, your body, your senses, your heart. It’s the gentle reminder that everything you need is already here, right now.

Through cacao, journaling, and meditation, we’ll explore what it feels like to slow down, soften into stillness, and meet ourselves exactly where we are.

✨ This week’s practices invite us to:
✨️ Notice the world through our senses — sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell
✨️ Connect with the rhythm of our natural breath
✨️ Anchor into the here and now with awareness and gratitude

Our affirmation for this week is:
“I anchor myself in the here and now. My breath is my guide to presence.”

May this practice remind us that the present moment is where life is truly lived. 💫

Day / time : Monday's 6.30 am ( runs approximately 30 to 45 mins)
Cost : $15
Venue : Yoga Shala (above Indian Cottage, in Clarence Natural Therapies)
More information will be provided upon booking.

To book your spot, please send a DM. Bookings are essential as there are limited spots.

Tickets close each Friday afternoon 5pm to allow me to prepare the cacao, etc, for the number of people on Monday.

This weekend, the students from our March 2025 Ayurveda intake gathered for their very first Ayurvedic Cooking Practical at the AIAS.

There’s nothing quite like learning hands-on. smelling the spices, feeling the textures, tasting the balance, and having the why’s and how’s explained step by step. It’s the best way to really understand the art and science behind Ayurvedic cooking.

These days, you’ll find endless posts, books, and blogs claiming to teach Ayurvedic cooking - but did you know much of it misses the mark? Too often, it’s Ayurveda in name only, without applying the true principles.

There’s growing interest in food as medicine, and rightly so. But what makes Ayurvedic cooking truly therapeutic?
It’s this:
Making food more compatible with the body, hence supporting digestion and assimilation
Adapting meals to the season, the doshas, and each person’s unique constitution

Even the healthiest food can become a problem if:
— it’s eaten out of season
— combined in the wrong way
— or prepared without understanding digestive fire (agni) and food energetics

The result? Poor assimilation, ama (digestive toxins), aggravated doshas, and even a dull, heavy mind.

Ayurvedic cooking isn’t just about ingredients. It’s a living practice - an approach to food that promotes clarity, vitality, and true nourishment.

Stay tuned for more from our students' learning journey!

These times in Brisbane nourish me deeply..... soulfully and cell by cell......especially on a weekend of sharing the wisdom and joy of Ayurvedic cooking.

I'm in Brisbane at the moment, just about to start a training weekend with the 2025 Intake at Australasian Institute of Ayurvedic Studies

Then, I am blessed to travel with my son across Australia. It will be a pretty quick trip. But I have always wanted to feel the breadth of this continent we call home. And it is a bonus sharing this with my youngest.

Reception? No idea

So, over the next few weeks.....if you need to contact Karina Dunn Acupuncture or Frances for treatments, the clinic number is 02 6642 8432

And if you need to chat with our Yoga teachers and book into their amazing classes....here are the numbers below 😊
