Feeling depleted? Create ojas.

Restoring gut health, practicing meditation, getting out in nature, connecting with others, listening to music, exercising - all of these activities help to create ojas (inner vitality).

Behind the scenes, what these ojas-building activites are doing is regulating dopamine and boosting our other happy hormones (oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins) so we feel a genuine sense of satisfaction and joy. Something that we don’t get when chasing dopamine hits.

It feels good to do good!

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to work with the lovely Konrad and Mish of Thrill on a very thoughtful team building session.

Thrill organised for $7,000 worth of brand-spanking-new IKEA furniture to be assembled by an enthusiastic team of banking staff in around 75 minutes, which was impressive in itself!

What was even more impressive was that, by the end of the day, a whole truckload of beautiful wardrobes, shelving units, dining tables and chairs were ready to be picked up by the Salvos and delivered to women and children impacted by domestic violence across Western Sydney 🚚

It was really heart-warming event, especially seeing how happy participants were, knowing that their hard work will bring some positivity and joy to others during difficult and uncertain times.

It was an absolute pleasure and a privilege to be part of Cowra Shire Council’s International Festival of Understanding this week, celebrating this year’s guest nation, India, by delivering a series of yoga classes in local gyms and retirement villages as a volunteer with my good friend Dr Amit Sharma of Dhamma Yoga.

Cowra is such kind and welcoming community with a long history of inclusivity and caring for others through tough times, it seems to have become deeply ingrained in the collective identity. The world needs more places like this.

We were met with such genuine warmth and kindness by so many people including Cowra’s Deputy Mayor Nikki Kiss OAM, Clr Peter Wright and dedicated Council staff Claudia Harrison and Lisa Flanagan who put so much time and energy into making the Festival great.

Thank you again for this opportunity to visit your beautiful town and to share the timeless wisdom of yoga. Cowra Council Visit Cowra
