In a few weeks time I’ll be sharing a live event. Which is super exciting it will be a cacao ceremony and yin yoga practise at the beautiful Harlow hot yoga in Newstead, Brisbane. All are welcome to this event, but tickets are limited. So if you are keen to be there follow the link in my bio titled ‘cacao ceremony & yin yoga’ for all the booking details! It will be a really special night. I can’t wait to share cacao and yin with you soon! 💗
Hey there, I have added a few new additions to Jade Rose Yoga's Youtube account. Including a Yin Yoga class for Men.
This class is focussed on the earth element & water elements in Traditional Chinese Medicine, specifically the stomach & spleen meridians as well as the kidney and bladder meridians. We, therefore, target the lower back, quadriceps, hamstrings & hips. This class is catered for men because I created this sequence specifically for my partner Ben. He is a regular gym goer and tends to get quite tight from all the squats and deadlifts! Therefore, this is a great class to do if you are also a man who loves the gym, or simply with the men in your life! Although, in saying that, it is of course open and welcome to all genders and levels! Let me know how you go! Mish xx

After many years, I finally put together a blog post about my first ever Vipassana Meditation course experience back in 2015. I wrote this all out when I came out of the course, and it filled up over 10 pages in my journal at the time.
When I look back upon this entry even today, seven years later. I find it to be an insightful read and important step on my spiritual path.
Many of the meditation techniques I teach today were discovered within this course, and it really did shape who I am and how I face adversity differently today. I have now completed a total of 2 of these courses and will eventually go back to do another when the time aligns! It’s challanging but so amazing.
If you are interested in meditation or Vipassana courses - head to my website via the links in my profile to read this via the blog tab. 💚

Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of fear.
She let go of judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go. She just let go. She let go of all the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it. She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope. She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t utter one word. She just let go.
No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or congratulations. No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing. Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort. There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good. It wasn’t bad. It was what it was, and it is just that. In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face. A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.

She let go, By Rev. Safire Rose 🌹

Let go of the ways you thought life would unfold... the holding of plans or dreams or expectations. Let it all go.
Save your strength to swim with the tide.
The choice to fight what is here before you now, will only result in struggle, fear, and desperate attempts to flee from the very energy you long for.
Let go. Let it all go and flow with the grace that washes through your days whether you received it gently or with all your quills raised to defend against invaders.
Take this on faith; the mind may never find the explanations that it seeks, but you will move forward nonetheless.
Let go, and the wave’s crest will carry you to unknown shores,
beyond your wildest dreams or destinations.
Let it all go and find the place of rest, peace and certain transformation.
- Poem by Danna Faulds

Be true to your own nature.
Rather than pretend we are someone else or try to be someone who others expect us to be. It’s important to stay true to who you are. Listen to your own intuition, be guided by what feels true for you and always follow your heart, while staying true to your own moral compass. By acting this way, you follow and connect to your own true nature. “Ones own path even if imperfect, is better than another’s path followed perfectly. By carrying out action in accord to ones own nature one cannot go wrong.” Chapter 18, Text 47 ✨💚
This wisdom is paraphrased from, ‘The Bhagavad Gita,
Eknath Easwaran’. It’s a famous yogic book I’ve been re - reading, along with the Upanishads. I’m a real nerd when it comes to yoga books 📚 Yet, I feel called to read them again because these spiritual texts, specifically the Bhagavad Gita, feel so relevent & supportive for me lately, considering everything going on in the world right now!
I like that this story is set on a battle-field and the main character Arjuna, a warrior, really doesn’t want to fight because he has loved ones on both sides of this battle. There is this great divide and inner conflict, which actually leads him into a deep depression. Where he’s having to fight against people he loves and either way, there will be suffering. With so much divide going on even amidst friends, families and people we love today. What could be more relevant? Than a story like this?
The take away for me is to come back to love. To return back to your heart and to see everyone through the eyes of love. To know, that everyone is just doing their best. Hopefully, listening to their own inner compass too. Regardless of if someone acts differently to you. Be compassionate, see them through these eyes of love. Or in this text, they say, ‘see the eternal self in all’.
Be compassionate, be love. 💚 But also, have the skill of a warrior. Stay true to your own moral compass, yet always behold this with loving awareness beneath.✨In your heart you know the way forward. Trust yourself.
I hope you are all okay during this QLD lockdown. This is one of my most popular FREE yoga videos called,
"Yin Yoga for Grief and Letting Go"
If anyone is feeling hopeless, heartbroken or lost during this times, I hope it may bring you some comfort.
I've also uploaded some yoga, pilates, and meditation-videos to this Youtube, If you appreciate these videos, please give the youtube page "Jade Rose Yoga" a like, and feel free to send me any particular video requests, and hopefully, I can bring you some new content this week. Stay safe and well xx

ANZAC DAY
In honour of the warriors of war, past & present.
Soldiers, heroes, men & women who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
To all those who served for their countries, cultures & tribes.
To all those who were left behind.
To all those who’s families & loved ones were impacted by war, or lost someone to war.
To all who were in pain & suffering on both sides.
To all of those who still carry the demons & wounds of war with them today.
Today, may we honour them, may we understand their sacrifice, may we respect them & give thanks.
Each day in Yoga we do the ‘Warrior pose’. Perhaps in your practise today you can take a moment to reflect upon the warriors in your life. Those in your bloodline, your ancestors who have served & sacrificed their lives for your freedom & all the other ways their actions may have supported how you live & lead the life you have today.
Take the time to give thanks for all of the others too; those on the “other side” those you may not have known, yet who also suffered & served equally.
For context; Warrior pose is symbolic of Arjuna a great warrior from “The Bhagavad Gita” which tells the story of his service, love & his sacrifice. It’s very beautiful & symbolic of our journey here. Arjuna is a warrior in battle amidst the brink of war, but he doesn’t actually want to fight. He can see the pain the war will cause on both sides. He has so much compassion & he is afraid. His mentor, Krishna, tells him that he can’t shy away from his dharma, his path, his purpose & his duty; he must summon the courage & faith to fight the battle for justice & for all. He must move forward towards his dharma. The story is a metaphor for the moments in life that are hard & do make you want to run, where you are scared or may feel yours or others pain; or like you are on the battlefield of your own life. It symbolises the sacrifice’s warriors make, but also us as individuals in those moments of fear facing our duties & our purpose; where we must embody the ‘Warrior archetype’ within ourselves.
So today, May we honour the warriors & soldiers in our lives, in our direct bloodline, our ancestors, those past & present.
May we honour those who served, those who sacrificed, those who were afraid and fought anyway.
Those on the other side. May we see them. May we understand their journey, their suffering & their pain.
May we understand their ultimate sacrifice.

Hello everyone!
Today I filmed an Intermediate Yoga session I have shared it online for you all. This is a complete 60-minute yoga class featuring all my favourite movements and postures.
It’s basically the kinda class I do personally on my own in the mornings (when I have time to commit to a full hour), you’ll find a mix of pranayama (breathwork), grounding postures as well as challenging intermediate ones which focus on strength, balance and flexibility. You should finish this practice feeling revitalised and ready to take on the day!
Make sure you find time to commit to the whole hour because it is totally worth it and you are worth the hour too. Dedicate this hour to your own self-care and create an intention to welcome in anything that you need along the way & to release anything you need to let go of through the breath & movements.
Please click the link to subscribe to my FREE youtube channel, "Jade Rose Yoga" and if you participate please let me know how you went, or if you have any feedback or class requests at all!

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. With this 3 day lockdown starting in Brisbane today,this afternoon I decided to spend the time that (I'd usually be teaching at work) to create another video for you. This is a full body pilates style workout.

Hello!
I've added a FREE strength-based Vinyasa class to my Youtube channel this morning.
Do let me know if you appreciate these, by giving it a like or comment, or even if you have any requests; I'll do my best to get back to you and/or make a class more suited to you.
Secondly, to any new followers; My name is Manisha (Mish for short), I'm a local here in Lota/Manly/ bayside, and I'm a Vinyasa Yoga teacher, Pilates teacher, Yin yoga teacher, qualified PT and fulltime student!
For a short period of time in 2020, I ran some Yoga classes in the park in Manly by the waterfront, however, I'm not currently running any public yoga classes anymore... I'm instead open for private & these online classes right now. Although, If you are interested in Yoga with me, you can find information about this on my website, or contact me directly.
I have been thinking about bringing "Jade Rose Yoga, in the park" back, perhaps to Lota park instead, so let me know if this interests you... it really just depends on how well I can juggle it all!
For a bit of context, I'm a fulltime Nursing student, and I teach at a studio near the city as my main source of income most nights, so keeping 'Jade Rose Yoga' going on has been a hobby/ side hustle for me, It's all created and done from my heart; simply because I love it... it been a lot of work to keep it going, as well as create these videos, but I really love it, so I've been doing my best to stop by here and give & be of service where I can.

NEW - FREE: Yin Yoga class: focusing on Anger and frustration. This class targets the inner and outer thighs, as well as the Liver and Gallbladder Meridians (WOOD ELEMENT).
In Chinese Medicine, where Yin Yoga is founded, these organs are connected to energy lines in our bodies which carry stagnant energy, or stagnant chi which can cause us to hold onto emotional debris and energetic blockages and an cause and relate to physical tension we feel in our bodies. If we hold onto this tension for too long without letting it go, it can lead to outbursts of anger and frustration.
This class will help you to release that old stagnant energy and help you to feel relaxed and lighter in the process. Namaste

In 2017, my Father was diagnosed with stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer, which soon progressed to his lungs. After only 6 Months of being diagnosed he past away dying at age 62.
At the time I was studying to be a Paramedic; a high pressure, high stress job, which I’m certain would be rewarding in many ways. I wanted to be responsible and I also wanted to help people who are suffering, I yearned to be a light in others darkest days. I was doing very well at my studies, but I was very stressed out and uncertain if it was the right career path for me.
My Father had advised me to stop studying and rather follow my dreams of teaching Yoga. “You are a spiritual Yoga Teacher, Manisha Rose”, he would tell me. “Go after your dreams.” He was the only one who truly seemed to support my real passion; which is, and always has been; Yoga.
When Dad died. Something big shifted within me. I decided at that point that I didn’t want to live the rest of my life not having joy every single day in whatever I was doing. I quit studying and returned to the profession of Yoga.
I felt inspired to one day be able to create an amazing space, my own Yoga Business where people can come and practise with me, feeling safe, held and connected. I knew this was still a pathway where I could be a light for others in times of darkness, only through something that is more significant to me, through something that’s actually been there for me in my own darkest moments. Through the practise of Yoga.
Yoga has always been something I turn to in dark times, whether it be through my meditation practise, discovering yogic philosophy, attending a strong vinyasa class or connecting with other likeminded souls at events or workshops.
I want to share my knowledge and passion for Yoga with others, so that others can also utilise this healing modality in their own times of need.
My Father also loved his three children and his boat. He named his boat, “Jade Rose”, after my Sister and I’s Middle names. I wanted to carry on his legacy via something that’s meaningful to me.
Jade Rose Yoga is about experiencing joy daily, having courage and mostly; following your dreams.
