Kia ora lovely beings,
Yes, I am still here! I’ve been relishing in having a break from Instagram while I settle into a new job and other lifestyle changes… partly because I wanted a break, partly because I have a really old iPhone 5 that is on its way out lol. BUT I have found a way to upload them from my computer… so here we are, without me needing to purchase a new phone just yet!
Before you read on, you may have noticed my name change! From “Hatha Yoga With Kara” to “Kara Marie Wellbeing”! More on this to come… But for now, a little update from me and what I have been up to…
I have made it through my first term of being a teacher aide at a school for at-risk youth… So I have been learning a LOT, surviving and establishing a new & hectic “normal” in the workplace!
I’ve been nurturing and healing my relationship with yoga - it was burned and really hurt from some things that happened at the beginning of the year, but I am practicing again and my mat is starting to feel familiar and warm again. Thanks to for helping me with this! Having a break from teaching has also been instrumental to this for me.
I’ve been focussing on establishing healthy routines - eating well and nourishing my body with food, which includes eating breakfast consistently - something I haven’t done for years!
I joined the gym for the first time in a couple of years, and I actually enjoy going, but the key is to keep the pressure off myself by only going if I feel like it :P
Sauna-ing & ocean swimming - cold/hot therapy is my JAM at the moment!!! Can’t get enough! This is a photo of me just after one of my morning swims!
AND something really exciting that I’ve been putting my energy into these last few days which I will share with you next week! Now that I am on school holidays, I finally have the time, space and mental energy to put into this and I am so inspired and motivated to bring this to you! It may or may not have something to do with my name change… ;)
That’s enough from me for now.. until next week! Enjoy your weekends, and I hope you can all stay warm, dry, nourished and wrapped up in a warm blanket with a good book and hot cacao!!!
With love,
Kara
