Beautiful Murray Falls on Girramay Country, FNQ near Cardwell a few weeks ago.
I don't practice here but the large flat rocks and cool waters were just too tempting to refuse this lovely photo opportunity!
In the last shot I am leading a Postcard Yoga sesh beside the van which is where I also practice most days. Please join me if you feel drawn to follow our travels and get into some good yoga. Mondays 6pm, Wednesdays 7am and Fridays 9am Eastern time. DM for Zoom details.

This week's poem:
Just be present, and let everything be.
Stop pushing against the moment,
stop resisting what already is.
You don’t need to fix it,
change it,
judge it,
or escape from it.
Let go of the striving,
the grasping,
the tightening around how life should be.
There is peace in your softness.
A deeper stillness in surrender.
Let what comes, come.
Let what goes, go.
Stand as the witness,
aware,
open,
untouched at your core.
Even if the mind races,
even if emotions swell,
you can remain here,
in this space of allowing.
No pushing.
No pulling.
Just presence.
The breath flows in,
the breath flows out.
Life moves,
and you remain still within it.
This is not giving up.
This is waking up,
to the quiet intelligence moving through all things.
You don’t have to hold the world up.
You only have to let go.
In surrender,
there is freedom.
In stillness,
clarity.
In simply being,
you return home.
