As you prepare your breakfast — think of others.
Don’t forget to feed the pigeons.
As you conduct your wars — think of others.
Don’t forget those who want peace.
As you pay your water bill — think of others.
Think of those who have only the clouds to drink from.
As you go home, your own home — think of others — don’t forget those who live in tents.
As you sleep and count the stars, think of others — there are people who have no place to sleep.
As you liberate yourself with metaphors think of others — those who have lost their right to speak.
And as you think of distant others — think of yourself and say
‘I wish I were a candle in the darkness.'”

We are thrilled to invite Emma to be part of the Mudita Teaching team. 🙏🏼 Emma has been practicing yoga for 9 years, guiding students into a grounded, heart-led practice where movement, breath, and awareness meet. Rooted in Hatha and enriched with Vinyasa flow, her classes blend mindful movement, breathwork, and stillness—opening pathways to intuition and inner wisdom.

With a background in ballet and Pilates, she brings refined alignment and embodied intelligence, weaving grace with strength for self-discovery. Her teaching journey spans Europe and Asia, from community parks to retreat spaces, often integrating music, ritual, and handpan meditations.

Emma’s holistic and inclusive approach invites students to slow down, listen deeply, and carry clarity and compassion beyond the mat. You can join Emma on the mat every Wednesday evening 7.30pm & Friday mornings 9.30am.

As we welcome a new year, I invite you to step onto a path of deep self-discovery. Yoga teacher training isn’t just about learning yoga — it’s a powerful journey of growth, confidence, and finding your authentic voice.

At the heart of yoga is Seva — selfless service. Many students begin training unsure if they’ll ever teach, only to discover that sharing yoga feels natural, meaningful, and deeply fulfilling.

This training isn’t only for future studio teachers. The skills you gain enrich every path — wellness, education, healthcare, leadership, and community work — while deepening your personal practice and connection to yoga philosophy.

During the training, you will:
🧘🏽Deepen your practice and explore yoga in new ways
🧘🏽Build strong foundations in anatomy and biomechanics
🧘🏽Experience yoga philosophy as practical, everyday wisdom

✨ Mudita Yoga Teacher Training 2026 - 24 April – 21 June
A 9‑week transformative journey to uncover your true potential.

🌟 SUPER Early Bird: Save $1000 when you register before 31 December 2025.
💳 Payment plan available.
If you’d like to chat, I’d love to connect for a 20‑minute call to explore whether this path is right for you. 🙏🏼

Start the new year with a new direction — one of growth, clarity, and transformation.

As we arrive at the close of another year, I want to take a moment to wish each of you the very best of the holiday season.
This time of year naturally invites reflection, gratitude, and a softening into what truly matters—and when I look back on 2025, one of the brightest threads woven through it is you.
Thank you for your support, your energy, and your presence in the studio. Every time you unroll your mat, you contribute to the spirit and warmth that makes this community so special. Your dedication to your own wellbeing—showing up week after week, breath after breath—is something truly worth honoring.
I trust that your practice this year has offered you more than movement. I hope it has brought you confidence when you needed grounding, peace and calm when life felt full, and a sense of strength and vitality in your body. I hope it has helped you meet challenges with clarity, and celebrate your joys with an open and spacious heart.
For those of you travelling over the holidays, may your journeys be safe, easeful, and filled with moments of connection and rest. For those staying close to home, may you enjoy the richness and beauty of our city, our bay coastline, and the simple magic of slowing down.
Wherever you find yourself, may you stay close to your practice—close to your breath, your body, and the present-moment awareness that yoga so lovingly cultivates.
As we look toward 2026, my wish for you is a year filled with possibility. May it be richly woven with plans and dreams that bring you joy, peace, and deep wellness.
Our studio will be running a reduced timetable over the holiday period, but there will still be plenty of opportunities to keep your practice steady and supportive. We look forward to welcoming you whenever you feel called to step onto your mat.
Thank you for being part of this community.
Thank you for the light you bring.
Wishing you a blessed, nourishing & joy-filled holiday season.
With warmth and gratitude,
Gina & the Mudita Teaching Team 🙏

As Black Friday approaches, I want to pause and offer something a little different—a Gratitude Sale.
This is my way of saying thank you to all of you who continue to support this small, female-owned business.
Owning a small yoga studio brings so much joy and meaning, though like any heartfelt venture, it also carries its challenges in the current economic climate. Competing against large corporate chains can feel daunting, and yet, it’s your trust and loyalty that remind me why this work matters. You’ve chosen to invest not just in classes, but in a space that values connection, authenticity, and community.
I am deeply grateful for the support you’ve given me. Your presence allows me to keep offering something that goes beyond the transactional—a sacred space where encouragement, growth, and self-discovery are nurtured. This studio is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a place filled with real people, real stories, and a shared journey of wellness.
This Gratitude Sale is a small gesture to honor the trust you place in me, a promise to continue holding space for you, supporting your practice, and ensuring this studio remains a sanctuary where you can connect to yourself and to others.
Keep an eye on your inbox—our Gratitude Sale begins Friday, 28 November, with limited offers to enjoy!
With heartfelt thanks,
Gina & the Mudita team 🙏
