Join me for session 2 ✌️

In our first session we discussed a brief overview of how we got here to yoga and the discussion of texts such as Patanjali's yoga sutras. During the 2nd session we will recap the first 4 Sutras as a definition of Yoga. We will also recap the 5 mental activities and move into a discussion on Abhyasa...

• • ° ~ the closing of a chapter ~ ° • •

This year has and continues to be a great teacher for returning back to what is important. Last December, I was in Chennai, on a trip themed 'Return to source'. Back to the roots of the lineage of my teacher and of the roots of Yoga.

Since then, I've been reminded of all the ways I move myself away from the simple principles of Yoga and the de-conditioning of the practices. Our unique expression and experience are a result of the removal of obstacles in order to understand what is underneath or within us.

Due to a series of events, I've made some big decisions. I truly believe that if there is a lot of tension and resistance, you need to change your approach or direction to the goal. Why argue with reality? I've tried several ways to move back to the Southern GC, and none have been the right fit. I've tried expanding my offerings, but this isn't the right time. And so it is...

In May, I'll be moving back to Brisbane and will take some time to recalibrate and sit with the change. I have loved being on the coast, and the last 7 years have been incredible for me to live so close to the ocean I love so much. This has also meant that I've made the decision to step away from teaching in studios for the next 12 months to delve into my own practices more. This will allow me to expand on future offerings and to also ensure I'm returning to the source of what I teach.

I know that there will be requests for more restorative & and privates. Stay connected for more updates 🍃 I will need some time to be with the shift and to let my life find a new rhythm. There will also be the mailing list that will continue and the online resources that I'll add to over the year as well.

It wasn't easy to move knowing the communities I've connected with will be so far away. I trust the people in my heart will stay in touch and I will miss the incredible support and love from and . I have loved every opportunity to teach philosophy and yoga with your unwavering encouragement ♥️. The balance community have been so curious and open and that is such a blessing to be a part of.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Did you know I offer support sessions to help teachers with various admin tasks, including setting up systems.

Over the past few years I built a Notion Dashboard to help me run the admin side of Yoga teaching and training. You can now get a template version of the same one https://www.notion.so/templates/search?query=yoga+teacher+

~ Online Masterclass ~

Join me on Saturday the 18th of November for the first online Savasana Masterclass.
The online meeting will be from 10am to 1pm AEST (Qld time)

This is a 3-hour experiential exploration of the elements around Savasana. Our focus will be on the postures that have the head in line with the heart.

If you have an interest in fine tuning some yoga teaching skills or work as a facilitator with clients in supine positions this masterclass will add to your toolkit. If you are a student or someone with an interest in rest or savasana, you will gain a deeper understanding and lots of experiential knowledge to take with you into your own practice and daily life.

We will cover the key principles of safely lying down and how to offer support to enhance a participants experience. Expect experience supporting participants and implementing techniques. You'll also practice receiving the support from each other and chances to reflect and share your insights. You will also be supported with print resources and plenty of opportunities to document/photography techniques applied during the masterclass.

Email hello@yieldyoga.com for details on how to enrol and pay.

This is the last retreat of the year in Springbrook, come join. Great food, excellent company and a chance to practice chanting, asana and discussions about Yoga of Well-being.

(If you've heard me talking about these retreats you know they're one of my favourite ways to deepen my practice with one of my favourite teachers and the wonderful company of the other students)

○~° Relationships °~○

Work with me to shift your relationship to yoga.

Maybe you want to deepen your practice.

Or, strengthen the connection between your practice and your lifestyle.

Or maybe you just want to start something new and see where it leads you.

Whatever the reason you want to work together we can cultivate practices to suit your needs and goals. There are many tools and practices we can draw on from Yoga to help move you towards the state of Yoga. Consistently and persistently ♡

How I got here ~
During the first year of my first teacher training course I felt driven to share the practices of Yoga in smaller groups and 1:1. After 20 years of being a student in general classes I finally had the opportunity to immerse myself in the training and understand what my relationship to yoga had cultivated. I ended up completing that 350hr training and continuing to complete an additional 650hr yoga therapy course. Since then I continue to practice weekly and attend several training weekends a year. I do this for me and my practices and knowledge. But it is also because I strongly believe that I can only teach what I know - what you really know from what you've experienced. This part is also a benefit for you and I hope its helpful for your goals.
