Chuck: The Man, The Legend

Few people embody enduring strength and discipline as Chuck did. He showed that movement is medicine, and that what you choose to do in your spare time speaks volumes about who you are.

My deepest respect to anyone who maintains a discipline as demanding as martial arts.

R.I.P. Chuck Norris. 🙏🩷🥋

Last week, Pascoe and I held a 30 minute chair yoga class with the guys and girls at NeuFriends Neurological Support Group in Lakelands.

Thank you to everyone who attended.

Making yoga accessible is important to me, as I know personally the importance of movement. 🙏🩷

Last week our Lakelands NeuFriends Neurological Support Group were lucky enough to welcome Yoga with Karney for a beautifully inclusive chair yoga session.

It was wonderful to see our members moving, stretching, and relaxing in a way that felt safe, supportive, and accessible. Sessions like these are a great reminder of how powerful gentle movement and shared experiences can be in building connection and wellbeing.

We love bringing meaningful activities and guests to our NeuFriends meetups - and we’d love to hear from you! If you have suggestions for activities or guest speakers you’d like to see at your local NeuFriends group, please email us at events@ncwa.com.au.

'You are the company the company you keep'.

This also includes 'You are what you consume: News, food, drugs, alcohol etc.'

Often we may feel we are surrounded by individuals who are good for us, who will be there when life throws a spanner in the works, to only be let down.

We are often told 'When you're finding life challenging, this is when you will see who your true friends really are.'

I feel some individuals already show us who they truly are, it is us who chooses to turn a blind eye or make excuses for their poor behaviour or lack of effort.

You may find this post relevant to you, or maybe it's something to keep in the back of your mind.

Words are important, yes, but action speaks louder than words.

If someone doesnt put in the effort, maybe thats a sign for you to reaccess their position in your life.

Remember: Those who truly care about you, will not hesitate to put in the effort when needed, for those individuals they dont see it as effort.

These are your people. 🙏🩷

Not every yoga practice needs to be mind blowing.

Consistency is whats important. 🙏🩷

Some information on how long term cortisol rewires your body.🙏🩷

Emotions will come to the surface throughout your yoga journey. This is a good thing.

As the body starts to feel safe, as we stretch and breath our way to a more regulated nervous system, emotions that have been stored within the body will surface.

When this happens, allow whatever needs to come out, to come out.

That is why it's so important to ensure I create a safe space, wherever I teach my classes.

The body remembers everything!

You need to FEEL the emotions in order to HEAL from them.

Sometimes the body releases what the mind has been holding for too long.

Movement and breath can open spaces where emotions finally feel safe enough to surface. Nothing is wrong with you when that happens — it’s often part of healing.

Allow the moment, breathe through it, and let the body soften. 🧘‍♀️💧

"Not every practice is meant to feel empowering.

Some days bring strength—
stability, capacity, that quiet sense of I can handle this.

Other days bring release—
tears, shaking, emotions finally given space.

That isn’t regression.
It’s the body being heard.

When we truly listen, the body speaks in many languages.

Strength is one of them.
So are tears." 🌿

I have been so guilty with doing this over the years, particularly when I was a medic in the Navy. I would take on everyone's pain and it would hurt- a lot!

I still find myself slipping back, however, like anything, its something I need to work on continuously and be mindful of.

You can still care without taking on their pain. 🙏🩷
