Last week, I taught chair yoga for a group of Indonesian women at Multicultural Services Centre of Wa Inc.

As both a yoga teacher and an occupational therapist, I’m always reminded that wellbeing isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all. There were navigating the unfamiliarity of stepping into a new practice, but they laughed, they supported one another. I am grateful for what they taught me in return: listen, and adapt with respect 😊

I am reading this book, “When the body says no- the cost of hidden stress” from Gabor Maté. Although Dr. Mate shared his clinical stories relating to severe illness of his patients, it reminds me to listen to my body 😌 and encourage others to listen to their body through yoga practice/ mindful movement.

He explores how chronic stress and emotional suppression shape our physical health. He argues that the body expresses unacknowledged emotional burdens through illness. He shows how traits like people‑pleasing, hyper‑responsibility, and self‑neglect increase vulnerability to conditions such as autoimmune disease and chronic pain.

Maté emphasises the importance of healthy boundaries, emotional awareness, and compassionate self‑inquiry. His central message is that healing requires recognising our true needs and responding to life with authenticity rather than chronic self‑suppression.

Self-care is not selfish.

Feeling myself settle again after the Christmas and New Year swirl — the gatherings, the food, the full hearts and full calendars. Now that the pace has softened, I’m noticing a quiet groundedness returning. A steadier breath. A sense of coming home to my body again.

If you’re craving that same reset, I’d love to share space with you on the mat.
Yoga is such a beautiful way to ease back in — to reconnect, to move gently, and to start the year with intention rather than pressure.

Come as you are, shake off the holiday haze, and let’s find our footing together.

What could I do if this happens in my class 🤔 🤣

We're turning 3 - and we couldn't have done this without you. We gather to celebrate an anniversary, and honour a space that has held our stories.

Vai Yoga began as a vision—a quiet idea rooted in movement, healing, and connection. I hope everyone builds physical and mental strength to face practical aspects of life through yoga movement. We run yoga classes on the mat as well as chair yoga for seniors in aged care facilities and community centre.

Over the past 8 years (3 years in the Morley studio), it has grown into a community. Whether you first walked through the door seeking flexibility, stress relief, or just a moment away from the chaos of daily life, we’ve welcomed you with open arms. We support each other. This is a place where it’s okay to fall, to laugh, and to simply be.

To our incredible instructors: thank you for your patience, and your dedication to guide us. To our members: thank you for showing up, for rolling out your mats even on the hard days, for supporting one another, for sharing smiles, and for making this space warmth. To Bassendean 55 Plus Association, thank you for being so caring and accepting new ideas. We’ve organized mental health seminars to help older people understand range of emotions and manage emotions.

I also want to take a moment to thank Ryan. I’m deeply grateful for your support. Thank you.

As we celebrate this milestone, let’s remember that yoga is not just a practice—it’s a way of living. It teaches us to breathe through discomfort, to find balance in chaos, and to return to ourselves again and again.

May your light continue to shine, one breath at a time. Thank you!
