Like so many…. work - sometimes just is a lot 🫠

I was done with the paperwork, the juggling of different roles, and the drowning in emails and marking over the last few months

Then on Friday I was really done.. getting up for a 6am class then onto a manic outfit change in the car, a few mouthfuls of breakfast - then a mad bolt to the train for 8 hours of exam marking šŸ« šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«šŸ« 

By 1pm I was a bit over it all ….

Then ….. I look out the window and I checked myself

I remember that THIS was one my my lecture rooms in my final year

I remembered that THIS was the class where I used to try and flirt with Dan šŸ˜‰šŸ¤­šŸ˜‚

And I reminded myself that back then…. There is No way I would have ever imagined that I would be lecturing at the very same university that I studied at. No way I would have ever dared dream of it.

So I gazed out the window and remembered how much I bloody love my students, and how fortunate I am with the work and the juggle
ā€˜I get to do….. ā€˜ and like all jobs - yes there are just some parts ….. some days that are just not that great….. and that’s all part of it

Everyone seems so busy and exhausted at the moment juggling work, family, and the impending festive season & all it entails….. so let’s all just breathe a little slower, check our thoughts and focus on what’s truely important ā¤ļø

This week a lovely slow yin start and finish to our classes to help you get through the week. We have one place in the Wednesday 9:30am yoga class or you can send me a message if you would like a recording to do at home

Too funny …. Too sweet …. Too lovely not to share We did want to video our reactions just for the retreat gals - but for some reason it won’t upload to our group chat, so I’m sharing it here Plus I just love watching Kirstie and I together šŸ˜‚ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

Saying goodbye to this girl gets harder and harder….. 😢

….. because even with the great distance between us - we seem to almost be able to read each others thoughts

….. because even though we only see each other twice a year - we can register the slightest change in each others body language - the tiniest lift of an eyebrow ….. the most subtle of wry smiles ….. the change in the rhythm of our steps

….. because we laugh at the same things, we value the same things, we are both a little crazy & often frazzled - but try very hard to stay calm

And

….. because we create ✨ magic ✨ together

I know the Nov ā€˜25 retreat girls are manifesting something else šŸ˜‰ā€¦.. so I’m going to concentrate my energies on a direct flight from Noosa to MandurahšŸ˜Ž- because seeing you twice a year is not nearly enough, and more people need to be able to experience our retreats….. they just do ā¤ļø

Kirstie I love you so much, and I thank you for loving me, working with me, caring for me and for all you teach me.

I know the retreat girls want you to come back soon, and so do I šŸ™ā¤ļøšŸ™

It is not just about the yoga
…… but it IS about the safe feeling it creates,
….. it is the space that we can then hold for each other
….. it is the unique people we were able to gather together

And Oh…. My…….. W . O . R . D
Did we gather some of the most kind hearted….. hilariously funny and oh so very wise women from all walks of life - from far and wide

And the best part?

ā¤ļøWatching the quiet camaraderie form between them

ā¤ļøHearing the shared stories

ā¤ļøSeeing the grief shift and release

ā¤ļøwitnessing their love, care and consideration for each other

Kirstie and I are beaming with joy…. Good Lord it was glorious and we just loved every single moment…. The planned experiences, AND the precious interactions inbetween šŸ„°ā€¦.. we feel so very grateful to have had 3 days away with you all

We are itching to read the feedback…. So will do that with a cheese platter and some wine in hand this evening.

Thank you to the Modern Day Yogi’s Nov 2025 group….. & to the Nov 2024 group & the May 2025 group ….. Ladies we have started something amazing āœØā­ļøšŸŒŸšŸ’«

If you would like to experience all this deliciousness we are holding a day retreat in January right here in Mandurah

The cutest little sound bowl

A bit of woowoo to round up the week that was balancing our Ajna ā€œwe ground to calm and open our mindā€

Fridays class - there were a few quiet tears between poses….. you see the beautiful Michelle šŸ•Šļø kept popping into my mind, whenever I looked up, her smiling face came into my mind.

Then after class I received a text….. it seems Michelle was visiting another student too. Her face coming into view ā¤ļø

THEN….. as the last student walked into the courtyard to have a cuppa….. I see a Peacock feather in the collar of her jumper….
. a PEACOCK feather! Michelle’s Peacock! 🦚

….. we looked at each other, hugged, shed a tear and we simultaneously said ā€œMichelle’s hereā€

As we hugged - the front gate flew open and Daisy (who is never out the front after class) - let out two loud barks ….

ā€œMichelle IS hereā€ we giggled between tears ā¤ļøšŸ„°

Later on my walk with Daisy (feeling a little in awe and ā€˜chatting to Michelle šŸ•Šļøā€¦ I find this beautiful Clear Quartz Crystal

One of the benefits of Clear Quartz????? Associated with the crown chakra and is believed to help raise spiritual receptiveness, improve intuition, and create a connection to universal wisdom.

I mean…… cmon 🤯

Maybe when the mind is still we are open to the awe around us …..

This week we have focussed on ways to quieten the mind….. using the yoga philosophy ā€œblood flows where attention goesā€ - we drew our attention towards the base of our body with gentle leg, ankle and foot stretches.

It worked incredibly well
….. many many fell asleep
….. many texted me the next morning saying they had the best nights sleep
And in one class - the power went off and half the class didn’t even realise šŸ˜‚šŸ˜“

So in light of sharing ways I quieten my mind - here is a simple (somewhat embarrassing) idea that works for me

In 2015 as a certain someone was running for president. I found myself getting angry at people that defended his actions, his motives, and the abhorrent way he treated people

I started gathering ā€˜evidence’ of his unethical behaviour…. In the hope that one day when I was in the presence of someone talking him up, I could give them a mouthful šŸ˜‚

I never had to thankfully….. but just being able to put things into this folder made me feel better….
So much better.

I don’t seek out this info…. But when I see it I just put it into the folder and don’t look at it again

America is a bit of a bin fire and I’m not taking any of it on…. And my mind is so much more at ease because of it.

Look this may help someone….. you may think it’s dumb šŸ˜‰šŸ˜‚, but it sure works for me

The other two folders provide my flow state ā¤ļø

Happy nearly Friday everyone ā¤ļø - thanks for another beautiful week of connection, community and calm. If you would like a copy of this weeks class send me a message

we are often in our yoga leggings - and to be fair… we do not often look this glam šŸ˜‚

But guys…. this is our new Deputy Mayor of Mandurah! And I feel an unreasonable amount of happiness and momma-bear pride in Jess šŸ˜‰šŸ„°

….. because in a world where many forms of leadership are entrenched in greed, hate and malchauvinism …. way too many examples of leadership that is void of ethics, values and basic humanity - Recently here in Mandurah…. people have been elected into positions of leadership that are kind AND strong, smart and grounded…. with a focus on promoting and connecting community ā¤ļø

… and I could not be prouder
… I could not be happier 🄰

It feels like ever so slowly the world is recalibrating and balancing. Once again there is a focus on what is truely important… and in doing so - pushing down the hate, divisiveness and greed.

Jess Smith Mayor Amber Kearns & Lisa Munday MLA - have all at one time or another supported my yoga classes, my writing, projects and events …… and I have been humbled in the care and concern they have shown Dan and I throughout my recent health scare…..ā¤ļø

With Dan and these three as role models…. I honestly feel like I am surrounded by some of the best forms of leadership and the best examples of humanity ….. and I know Mandurah’s village heart is going to THRIVE 🄰

Congrats Jess - eeeek ā¤ļø
