Shine Pilates & Yoga

This week marks one year since we closed the doors of our beautiful studio in Lang Lang. 💛

Change can feel uncomfortable — but so often, it’s the doorway to something new, expansive, and deeply aligned. Stepping away from the studio wasn’t easy, but it created space for growth I didn’t even know I needed.

I’m so grateful for everything that chapter taught me — the magic of community, the joy of movement shared, and the strength it takes to let go when it’s time. Some of my favourite memories live in that space, with all of you.

Thank you for being part of the Shine journey.
Thank you for the love, the laughs, the energy, and the lessons.

Sending so much love to each of you who moved, breathed, and grew with us in Lang Lang. ✨💛

Some days self-love looks soft and spacious.
Other days it’s choosing the smallest step forward.

We often hear “treat others how you wish to be treated yourself” — but what if we flipped it?
What if the way you speak to yourself, care for yourself, and show up for yourself became the blueprint for how you move through the world?

When you treat yourself with patience, kindness and compassion, everything around you shifts.
Your practice becomes a place to return to, not to perfect — a place where you remember that you are worthy of the same love you so freely give to others.

Move gently.
Love deeply.
And let the way you treat yourself set the tone for everything else. ✨🕊️

Today was extra special ✨
My beautiful mum joined me in the studio for a couple of classes and my heart is so full. 🫶

Her support throughout my entire teaching journey has been everything. She’s always been there — showing up to as many of my classes as she possibly could, cheering me on, and encouraging me to grow into the teacher I am today. 💛

Yoga has been part of her life for many years — even practicing with her mum — so sharing the practice together feels like such a precious continuation of something deeper than just movement.
I wish we lived closer now (with her still in Vic!) so we could practice side-by-side more often… but I cherish every moment we do. 🥹💕

So much love, gratitude, and admiration for my mum. The most supportive, gentle, inspiring soul. 🌿💗

🧘‍♀️✨ The Magic of the Eye Pillow: It’s Not Just for Comfort ✨🧘‍♂️
Years ago a friend and I used to joke that when we went to our yoga class that the teacher must have magic eye pillows. Whenever we used them at the end of class it left us feeling so relaxed that we floated out of class on a cloud and had to take a few moments before we could get in the car to safely drive home.
Has this ever happened to you? This maybe why ….

Did you know that gently placing an eye pillow over your eyes during savasana or meditation can literally slow your heart rate? 💓
This calming effect is thanks to something called the Ocular Cardiac Reflex (OCR) — a natural response triggered when gentle pressure is applied to the eyeballs. It signals the vagus nerve to slow down your heart rate, promoting a deeper state of relaxation. 🧠💤
✅ Benefits of Using an Eye Pillow in Yoga:
✔️ Activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest & digest” mode)
✔️ Helps reduce anxiety and stress
✔️ Enhances focus during meditation
✔️ Blocks out light and visual distractions
✔️ Encourages deeper stillness in savasana
So next time you roll out your mat, don’t forget your eye pillow — it’s a small prop with BIG benefits. 🪷

Hey Friends,
The Sun is setting here at Shine 🔆
Yeah, you read that right…

I can’t believe Im writing this.
Our time here in our beautiful Studio in Lang Lang is coming to an end.
When I began teaching yoga well over a decade ago I could have never imagined where it would take me. From working on myself through my studies and practice, to meeting some of my most favourite people, to building the most amazing community we have here at Shine.
It’s time now for my family to move on following a long time dream we have all had looking for sunnier sky’s.

Enough about me for now. I’ve tried writing this multiple times but end up in tears each time. Be prepared guys you may see lots of these.
Currently we don’t have a set final date for final classes here in our beloved studio, however our beautiful home that we have tirelessly poured our heart and soul into will be on the market.

For now get into the studio whilst you can guys and lets go out with all the fun, laughter and good times that we can.
We welcome all to come along whether its been a while, your a seasoned regular or you want to come along for the first time and be part of our amazing community. Time to use up your passes guys
If you have multiple classes on your passes and are interested in private sessions please reach out for more information.

Sending big love to you all
Kell xx
