A new year is a clean slate, full of potential!

I’m not into New Year’s resolutions, having worked out some time ago they’re not sustainable. We get caught up in this idea of New Year near me… But there’s nothing wrong with you! Don’t need fixing or improving. Maybe that’s why new year’s resolutions don’t work?

What I do know is that setting intentions is a very powerful practice. When I set intentions in my life it helps me move in the direction I would like go. At the start of each year, I gift myself time to check in with my inner knowing and feel into what intentions I wish for myself in that year. That is the intention behind the Retreat I’m offering this Sunday. An opportunity to steer your own ship.
For me this year feels hazy … already so much has changed …. and where this time last year I already had plans in place for several retreats and workshops, this year I’m feeling the need to keep things open, remaining flexible and able to flow with what transpires. I haven’t decided if or when I may offer further special events this year. I am not saying this to give a sense of urgency: fake pressure and artificial FOMO to push people into booking lest they miss out is not how I roll! This is the truth of how 2026 feels for me right now. I am learning to be comfortable with not knowing, poised to respond to life as it unfolds. Trusting that everything will fall into place when and as it needs to.

For this Sunday, we have a couple of spots left and if you feel called to join us know there is a reason for that. I’ve not met anyone yet who didn’t leave the event feeling it was well worth taking a day out for themselves.

I would so love to see you there! Join us ☺️

Practicing meditation is a way to pause and reset. In our meditation circle you have the opportunity to step away from "all the things" breathe and relax. But what you're actually doing is so much more!

It is after meditating the benefits really kick in. Coming to your mat and meditating is like flexing a muscle. When you go back out into the world that muscle has a memory and gives you the opportunity to respond differently. By sitting in meditation you shift the mind into neutral, and when you take off again you're a little more present and calm. More able to notice the patterns that keep you stuck, and also more able to make a conscious decision whether to stay stuck or to make a change that will serve you better.

The added benefit of meditation comes the day after, and the day after that. If you want to experience these benefits in your own life .... join us! I look forward to meditating with you πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈπŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

Hi Yogis! 😊

So wonderful to be back and reconnect with so many of you last week! I noticed many in our community are navigating substantial change as we commence this new year. There has been a lot of mutable energy astrologically and within earth's atmosphere due to solar flares and geomagnetic storms. Being electromagnetic beings we feel the effects of this.

Whatever life is gifting you with at this time, yoga will support you. Having a solid, sturdy foundation physically, mentally and spiritually helps you meet life on your terms. Physically and energetically our feet form a very important part of this picture!

This week I am offering a grounding practice focused on our connection to the earth: our feet. A moderate practice (not super gentle or too challenging) exploring asanas which help us connect with and strengthen our foundations.

Friendly reminder there are no Monday classes this week due to the public holiday, Monday yogis are welcome to join us Wednesday instead ~ bookings required ~ I look forward to seeing you 😍 πŸ™

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard "I can't meditate, my mind is too busy" ... I would have a LOT of money ... and I would still be teaching yoga and meditation 😊

There are so many myths and misnomers about what meditation is and how to do it. The mind creates obstacles making it out to be this huge, hard, thing but it's really simple! Meditation is not an empty mind. It is the process of training the mind to do what you want it to do, and through this training it learns to become quiet.

If you've never tried mediation, never found it easy/accessible, want to learn different ways to meditate, or just want to feel more calm and peaceful .... join us!

P.S. ~ studies have found that meditating in a group can be more effective in reaching a state of mindfulness πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈπŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

Hi Yogis! 😊

Welcome to our first week of yoga for 2026! I am so looking forward to reconnecting with familiar faces, as well as meeting some new friends. I am also knowing how eager many of you are to commence / return to practice.

Let's start the year with a reminder of what yoga really is: to experience union. To reconnect and rebalance the mind, body, and subtle energies through movement, mindfulness, and conscious breath. Returning our full selves to alignment, presence, coherence.

One hour on your mat equates to only 0.6% of your week and gifts you with greater peace, happiness, wellbeing, and oh so much more! So join me in a precious hour of movement, breath, and relaxation. I look forward to seeing you there πŸ˜πŸ™

Back online after spending time within. Greeted by so many messages from those who understand. Feeling overwhelmed by your love and care ~ and knowing our grief is witnessed and shared among many ~ thank you πŸ™

and this … Donna Ashworth has captured so beautifully with her words the inner workings of my heart as we start a new chapter of our lives without the physical presence of our beloved Saffron but knowing her presence is always in our hearts ❣️ for those of you who are also missing her I trust this share is helpful πŸ™

I’ll be in contact again soon, in a few days, to share details of the recommencement of yoga and meditation. In the meantime take good care and please understand if I’m a little slow in responding to messages πŸͺ·

πŸ’œ Vale Saffron 21/6/12 ~ 1/1/26πŸ’œ
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news that our dear Saffron crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. Some of you know she has been ill for a while. After initially showing signs of improvement, she started to decline, more rapidly in the previous few days. Yesterday it was clear that she was no longer in a position to be able to bounce back and so we arranged to assist her with a gentle, peaceful transition. It's been an incredibly hard few weeks as we nursed her and held her in great love. Her name means "strength" and strong she was right to the very end. Saffron also means "precious" and precious she is to so many people, her memory will live in the hearts of all those she touched with her calm, soft, care. A true teacher and healer, in 5 years she has witnessed and held us through so much change, many highs and lows of this crazy life. We are beyond devastated, but of course when you open your heart and home to a dog you know you're also inviting in the intense grief that comes with their passing. I'm going offline for at least few days to grieve and process her loss, and so please understand I won't be replying to any messages for a while. Thanks to all who have held Saffron and us in your hearts at this time, it means the world to us xoxo
