My happy place 🥰

It definitely hasn’t looked like this all week however, in fact I picked a pretty bad week to be here surf conditions wise, big storms and high winds most days, but not even the good kind of high wind for kiting! …. Nonetheless, I have had a few ok surf sessions and 1 survival kiting session. Plus, the huskies are super happy, and taking a week off of work to read, rest and digest has been good for my soul. I can’t remember the last time I had this many days in a row where I allowed myself to wake up naturally. I can really sleep quite late when there is no alarm!
My daily meditation practice is going strong, and I’ve managed to do a few workouts and yoga sessions in between all of the resting and sleeping! I’m definitely poking forward to getting back to my VBC workouts though!

This was my first podcast interview as a guest! (I’ve previously helped with a short pilot series as the host.)

Enhanced Senses podcast, with host , is in it’s first year of action and I was honoured to be a guest in what is already a roster of pretty interesting and incredible people. Many from our own community of La Ventana 🥰

In this episode I share with Danielle how I came to yoga by surprise, the range of different modalities and practices, how yoga has changed my life and a bit about how I’ve witnessed it change others lives.

Give it a listen! Link in my bio



Have you experienced the benefits of yoga cross others aspects of your life?

Asana prepares the body for meditation. The shapes we form can help to clear or settle excited prana and when we surrender and release in savasana- the body is then more prepared for the other limbs of yoga. If you feel a moment of connection, peace, or even bliss when you sit up from savasana, that’s a great time to sit in meditation for awhile. Well- anytime is a great time to sit in meditation! 🧘

Whenever I sit on the ground they think it’s playtime!

This is what a morning stretch and work out practice looks like with two huskies

I’ve been learning to read and write Sanskrit in Devanagari for a year now. It’s been a challenging journey!
My Sanskrit program has now shifted to reading and studying the Gita in the original language that it was written.
It’s pretty incredible that after only 1 year of study I am reading the Gita :)
To really embody and cement the teachings in my body, I am embarking on my own journey to not only study the words. Their origins linguistically, but also to chant the Gita phrase by phrase.
Like, share, follow to hear more about this journey.

Latest philosophical and intellectual pursuit: reading the Bhagavad Gita in the original Sanskrit language. This is why I learned to read and write Sanskrit!

Exciting and challenging!

Have taken a pause from teaching Asana/Pranayama/ Dhyana/Dharana in order to dedicate time to focus on language, philosophy and mantra.

Reach out to me if you are looking for a teacher to support the Sanskrit portion of your YTT trainings or other workshops/trainings.

Practicing yoga in nature on this summer solstice weekend is one way to reflect, connect and honour the lands that we inhabit, and which First Nations have stewarded for millennia.

For me, yoga in nature is a way to connect to the other species around me, who are our brothers and sisters. Through this connection we begin to touch and honour the land.

I ‘m not currently teaching anywhere, my current practice is focused on reading the Bhagavad Gita in Sanskrit. So I’m recommending a few experiences in and around Victoria that you might like to check out this weekend.
