LeMar yoga

14/01/2026

Occasionally, I’m asked how I manage to practice yoga as a working mother of three children. The response is straightforward: it’s not effortless. As mothers, we’re inclined to prioritize others’ needs over our own. Do I enjoy a daily one-hour yoga session? I wish, but realistically, I feel fortunate if I can attend a weekly yoga class. Most of my daily yoga practice consists of brief 10-15 minute sessions squeezed into my hectic schedule, often requiring creative timing. Ideally, I’d practice before everyone wakes up, but unexpected events often disrupt my plans. For instance, today, while on holiday in Queensland visiting family, I’ve had to adapt; I managed a 20-minute yoga session on a beach log while my children built sandcastles and temporarily ceased arguing over a pink spade and bucket.

Happy New Year, yogis! As 2026 unfolds into a new chapter for LeMar yoga, I'm filled with gratitude for the transformation of 2025.

After years of guiding my dedicated Haberfield group, I've passed on the reins of my Monday evening yoga and sound class to the talented Paula back in March.
My initial vision to cultivate a community in Beecroft remains on my ‘to-do- list’, but for now, I'm deeply invested in continuing to bring therapeutic yoga, pranayama, guided meditation, and sound healing to those who need it most at a local hospital. Witnessing positive impacts on patients and receiving heartfelt feedback from nurses has been profoundly rewarding, and Irene and I are thrilled with the progress over the past year.
Though my schedule is full, I'm eager to nurture my community initiatives and will keep you informed of any developments

Merry Xmas, yogis, from me and my yoga practice companion :-)

The one thing I love more than teaching yoga is learning and exploring it as a student. Aerial yoga with its powerful sling prop has become my latest yoga style obsession, superseding the controversial and hot Bikram I practiced in winter.

Listening to an amazing live lecture by the world famous Dr Bessel van der Kolk who recommends slow mindful yoga to overcome stress, anxiety and trauma. He talks about the crucial importance of connecting with your body’s sensations as trauma can ‘live ‘ in your body’.

The winter solstice and International Yoga Day coincided this weekend, making it a special time for me. As yoga has had a profound impact on my life, I feel grateful to celebrate it. In Sydney, I attended and expanded my knowledge through talks on yogic philosophy, mental health and Ayurveda. I also participated in various yoga sessions, including meditation and breathwork. With my family, we enjoyed a fun yoga session at home. The winter solstice represents a shift from darkness to light, reflecting the transformative power of yoga in my own life.

Last week I held my last Haberfield yoga class. It was an evening filled with lots of emotions ( to the point that I forgot to take our group photo) as I reflected on the past eight years of not only teaching but learning from this beautiful group of dedicated yoga students. Some of them were there right from the start of my yoga teaching journey and they were there for my very last class. It definitely felt like an end, one that was very hard to let go of. There is a silver lining tho! I’ve handed this class over to lovely and very experienced yoga teacher Paula, so the class can continue. For more info about Paula and how to book: https://www.paulakimberley.com.au So what’s next for LeMar yoga, you may be wondering? For the next couple of months while my family is relocating to the northern Sydney I will keep focused just on my yoga therapy private classes. However, I’m hoping to restart regular yoga and sound community class around our new home in a few months. Stay tuned :-)

On Monday we held our first Monday evening yoga & sound class of 2025. It felt truly great to be back after the Xmas break. Please note there is no class this Monday due to the bank holidays. Don’t forget to book your spot for the next class held on Monday 3 Feb! Additionally, keep your diaries free for our next sound bath event on Sunday 16 February in the afternoon- more details to come soon!

Hello yogis, hope you had a relaxing break and a great start to the new year.

Our Monday evening yoga classes with mini sound bath will resume next Monday 20 Jan at 7 pm. I will look forward to seeing you on the mat. Please remember to register via my website as spots are limited.

Attaching couple of pics from my time away. Keeping up with my daily practice whilst travelling with three kids was extra challenging and mostly hijacked by one or all three of the little people 🙂 But I was lucky to squeeze in in a couple of solitary sessions along a sleepy beach near Hervey Bay and one with an amazing view of the Story Bridge in Brisbane.

Dear yogis,

As the year comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude and reflection. This year has been a transformative journey, and I am thrilled to share some of the highlights with you.

In February, I resumed teaching Monday evening classes at a new, serene venue, following my third maternity break. It has been an absolute joy to reconnect with you all and share the gift of yoga.

You may have noticed that I don't offer as many classes as I did previously ( namely the Saturday morning weekly yoga classes). This is because I am also passionate about my daytime career in disability.

In June, I embarked on a new adventure, hosting my first-ever monthly sound bath event. I am grateful for the opportunity to share this powerful ancient healing modality with you.

In November, I took another exciting step, collaborating with my dear friend and fellow sound healing student, Nicole. This partnership has been a game-changer, and I am thrilled to see where it will take us. At our December sound bath event we raised and donated over $600 for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre to help asylum seeker families in Australia.

October saw the launch of another inspiring collaboration, as I teamed up with my yoga buddy, Irene, to deliver chair and hatha yoga classes with meditation to a group of vulnerable patients in a clinical setting. Witnessing the profound impact of these classes on the patients has been a truly humbling experience.

I relaunched LeMar Yoga as a tribute to my beloved brother, who was instrumental in helping me establish my yoga offering all those years ago. I was hesitant to partner with others in any capacity, but this year has taught me the value of collaboration and community. I am deeply grateful for the support and expertise of Irene and Nicole, who have become invaluable partners on this journey.

Behind the scenes, I have been pursuing further training, including a qualification in kids' yoga and special needs kids' yoga. My vision for 2025 is to launch a new offering in this space, and I am excited to share this gift with the next generation.

Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who has entrusted me with the privilege of being your yoga teacher. I have learned so much from you, and I feel deeply honored to be a part of your yoga journey.

As we embark on a new year, I wish you all a joyful, healthy, and inspiring 2025. May your heart be filled with love, your spirit be lifted with hope, and your life be blessed with peace and happiness.

With love and appreciation,

Lenka
