This week in our practice, we are dedicating time to Sun Salutations — and it feels like the perfect moment to reflect on the deeper connection we have with the sun itself.

Across cultures and traditions, the sun has always been more than just a life-giving force. It has been honoured as a guide, a source of wisdom, and a reminder of the rhythms that sustain us. In the yogic tradition, Surya — the sun god — is seen as a bringer of light and spiritual awakening. Surya is often depicted riding a golden chariot pulled by seven horses, symbolising the seven chakras and the spectrum of light that touches all of life. The Gayatri Mantra, one of yoga’s most sacred prayers, is dedicated to this radiant energy, asking for the sun’s light to illuminate our hearts and minds.

When we move through Sun Salutations, we are not only warming and energising the body — we are also participating in an ancient ritual of honouring the cycles of nature, of recognising the sun as both teacher and sustainer. Just as ancient civilisations marked solstices and equinoxes as sacred turning points, each salute to the sun can become a small ritual of gratitude and renewal.

So as we flow together this week, let each movement become an offering — a way of honouring the light outside of us, and the light within. 🖤

If you missed our e-news last week, you would have missed the announcement that this years chosen charity is St Vincent de Paul Community in Mackay.

As many of you know, each year we choose a local organisation or charity to support. This year, we are proud to donate to the St Vincent de Paul Community in Mackay. Your kind donations for mat hire and other items through out the year will go to them.

Since 2023, we have partnered with St Vincent de Paul by offering group yoga classes. They are now located on Wellington Street in what is called the Wellness Centre, a property generously donated by a local community member. The centre is expanding and hopes to grow its group programs to accommodate up to 20 participants.

Most people are familiar with “Vinnies,” but this is just one branch of St Vincent de Paul’s wide-reaching community services. Each branch has its own focus, with programs including:

Food and essential support
Disaster recovery
Housing and homelessness support
Aged care services
Financial wellbeing assistance
Youth support
Community services (such as home maintenance, child and family services, education and employment pathways, and Alcohol & Other Drug [AOD] support)
Here in Mackay, the Wellness Centre focuses on AOD and community support—helping people who want a fresh start, professional guidance, and education to overcome alcohol and drug challenges and rebuild their lives.

Starting yoga as a beginner is a beautiful way to explore movement, mindfulness, and self-care. Some of the key benefits include:

Gentle Introduction to Movement – Learn the foundations of yoga in a safe, supportive way without pressure to “know it all.”

Improved Flexibility & Strength – Gradually build mobility and stability in the body.

Stress Relief & Relaxation – Simple breathwork and mindful movement help calm the nervous system.

Better Posture & Body Awareness – Gain awareness of how you move and hold your body in daily life.

Increased Energy & Vitality – Gentle stretching and breath connection leave you feeling lighter and more energised.

Confidence on the Mat – Build a strong foundation that prepares you for more styles and sequences as you progress.

Time for You – A chance to slow down, release tension, and nurture your wellbeing.

If you want to try yoga this is a great class to come to.
