Bloom Yoga Room

This full circle experience at the Golden Temple ~ 20 years in the making ~ was the perfect way to finish what has been an incredible 3️⃣ weeks to retreat, restore and reconnect to being.

Time spent here is gives you a swift kick up the arse but always feels nourishing. I’ve connected with unique and inspiring women, and am heading home feeling content, grounded, inspired and SO excited to see my family!!! 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🐾

Thank you to the Bloom retreat crew for your time, attention and willingness to explore Sri Lanka 🙏 for coming on this yoga adventure 👯‍♀️ and Lara .au for your heart, wisdom and generosity. 🎹🧘‍♀️🎵

I’ll share more over the coming weeks as I slowly find my groove 🌙

Did you know that my Bloom prenatal yoga classes combine therapeutic movement designed for all trimesters with birth education and insight for pregnancy, birth and mothering?!

As a pregnant mother I found there was an incredible lack of information and learning from other women in my own pregnancies and it’s one of the reasons I became a specialist Prenatal yoga teacher 16 years ago!

Here’s some of what you can learn in my classes:
🌙 Build strength to relieve back and hip pain
🌙 Prenatal anatomy and why it matters!
🌙 Learn mental resilience and mindfulness for all kinds of birth
🌙 Asana to optimise space for baby in pregnancy + birth
🌙 Prenatal and postnatal safe core and pelvic floor
🌙 Connect with a community of other mothers

Classes are 60 minutes
All equipment provided
Personalised prenatal care
Plus home practices for missed classes

My next series starts Monday, book your spot here: www.bloomyoga.com.au

Happy Diwali 🪔

A celebration of light; triumph over darkness ✨
First we find the light within, then we light it outside.

This morning we hiked to the local temple ~ we are in a remote area of Himachal Pradesh amongst the foothills of the Himalayas ~ we chanted, danced and embraced one another 🙏

After our evening practice, we lit lanterns of mustard oil as the sun was setting with rhododendron wine made locally 🍷

The first time I celebrated Diwali was 21 years ago in the Himalayas, and I’m so grateful to be here now in this place 💕

This is your invitation to join our small, inclusive yoga classes held each week in my beautiful Kingsley yoga shala ~

As a yoga student for more than 30 years and a teacher for over 16 years, I have seen and experienced first hand the benefit that term based yoga classes offer: consistency, connection and the opportunity to build confidence in your practice over time while under the guidance of the same teacher and community of students. 🫶

Each class blends mobility, core focused movement, some strength along with practices designed to nourish your nervous system (aka relieve stress) - if you think yoga is about flexibility and stretching - let us show you otherwise! 🌙

Here’s what’s on offer:

Monday Yin + Flow (Hatha)
5.30pm - 6.30pm
Starts 27 October • $198

Monday Prenatal
6.45pm - 7.45pm
Starts 27 October • $149

Wednesday Floor + Restore (floor based)
6.30pm - 7.30pm
Starts 29 October • $149

Saturday Vinyasa Flow
8.15am - 9.30am
Starts 1 November• $208

Teacher goals 🫶

At 102, French yoga teacher Charlotte Chopin proves that modest, consistent habits can trump flashy workouts.

Her four-decade-steady routine of simple postures, taught in a humble village studio, highlights joy in movement over optimization.

Beyond yoga, Chopin’s secret lies in strong social bonds, purposeful gatherings, and a grateful mindset—pillars that research links to longevity.

Journalist Danielle Friedman’s visit reveals why showing up matters more than perfection.

Her story challenges how we view aging and fitness.

Discover how small daily rituals can reshape fitness and aging.

Viparita Virabhadrasana ✨
For me this moment perfectly captures the ancient roots and history of the practice that come alive with a little colour and modern insight.

Keeping in mind of course that asana was never practiced amongst these walls or within these grounds; this is a westernised view of yoga, but the ancient architecture complements the expression of the body.

My heart is SO full 🙏 ♥️

🌴Retreating to nature is powerful, inspiring and transformative.

🙏 Special thank you to Kate who came along for the ride and was gracious enough to step in to teach for me when I was sick.
