In my books a Retreat should be a life changing experience, whether it’s a two hour mini one or a week in Bali.

This doesn’t mean you will come home ready to pack your bags, chuck in your job or buy a new house. Transformation isn’t so much about major upheaval - the changes are subtle but profound and you will come home feeling like a new woman.

The old will feel exciting, you will feel rested, you’ll have released stress and the weight of your past.

Yes you’ll have an amazing “holiday” but you’ll also discover a new way to go through life and will find a lighter and happier version of yourself (cause she’s in there still..)

Together we will work to lighten the load you carry - to remember what it’s like to enjoy the simple things, to embrace your life and to lift your soul to a higher level of existence.

Are you ready to put yourself first and step into a new way of being? Start small with a local event or message me about the 2026 Bali Retreats.

Much love CJ x

I’ve just had the most amazing self care experience which I never would have prioritised but will be going back for more 😍

You must learn to regulate yourself or you’ll end up throwing the baby out with the bath water (as they say 😂)

I remember my Mum used to say “shush you kids I can’t hear myself think” and I used to wonder what she meant. Why would Mum need quiet when her thoughts are right in her head?

Now I get it… the noise of life can be so loud you can’t hear yourself think!

Our house is super busy with four teenagers and often Dallas works away which means I’m it - chief cook, bottle washer and jack of all trades (master of none the kids might say 😂) but if I can find some quiet to think and order my thoughts then all is well.

I do my best thinking when I’m on my mat, on my surfboard or, if either of those places aren’t available, then I do all my thinking on the beach.

Sometimes it’s listening to something inspirational, other times I play my tunes and if things are feeling a bit intense it’s just me and the sound of the ocean.

If you struggle to find the quiet to think in your busy life then try to carve out a small amount of time each day for yourself - it doesn’t have to be for long, any will be better than none at all. You might even give yourself five minutes in the car a king some slow breaths before you head inside - it all helps 🙏

Someone once said to me that instagram is just for pretty visuals, for posts that are pleasant and artistic. I get that sentiment I just don’t subscribe to it 😂

Life isn’t all pretty and sweet, it’s hearty, it’s messy and that’s why we need to stay real and authentic amongst the noise.

So for your inspiration today here’s a photo of a small portion of my bench - it sums up things quite well I think (don’t worry the un**es are clean 🤪)

If you are feeling a little messy, a little chaotic and not very pretty right now then you own that - it’s real, it’s endearing and I’m sure many will relate to you very well 🙏😍 ps thanks to my gorgeous muse who came into my messy house this afternoon to drink and spotted the “art” on the bench 🙏😍😘

How do you feel within yourself?

As we reach different stages in our life it can bring great changes and I have seen a real shift in myself over the past year.

No longer do I have the patience for polite small talk, for avoiding emotion, for staying so busy doing “all the things” that I distract myself from what life really is about.

Instead I find myself seeking truth and inspiration, craving connection with others just like me, trying new things and finally finding the time to focus on myself after many years of caring for others.

I’m cherishing time with my family before they start to spread their wings and reigniting my relationship with my soul mate after years of being “Mum and Dad” - remembering what we are to each other to allow us to go forward solid and connected.

I can sense change in the air and I’m excited for it even if I can’t quite see what it might be just yet. What I do know is that there is so much power in surrounding yourself with like minded souls, digging deeper into life and the different layers of it and this is my focus. To use my experiences to bring together women who are navigating a new way of being., a new stage and age. Women who deep down know that all is well but just need a gentle reminder that this is true.

Watch this space - exciting things are coming ❤️

This photo was snapped by one of my beautiful retreat ladies and it really does make my heart sing. It captures me sitting in my favourite spot watching the sun rise.

One of my favourite things about being on retreat in Bali is being able to take my time in the morning, there’s no rushing to get the house sorted, kids organised, dog walked etc etc just the luxury to take my time and greet the day well.

Each morning we wake with the dawn and as the light slowly starts to rise we move quietly with our cups of tea to our favourite spots to sit, to meditate and to breathe. It’s organic, not organised or directed. Each of us takes exactly what we need as an individual to start our day in sync with nature and the rhythm of our own self

These moments to slow down are crucial for our well being and must be cherished anytime we are lucky enough to find one.

If you are hearing the call to slow everything down then join me in Ubud in September for our Sacred Pause, only one spot left 🙏

ABOUT US

Welcome to Moksha Yoga and The Thrive Tribe! We are a group of kiwi yogi’s who understand the importance of taking care of ourselves so that we can live our best lives. As the old saying goes “you can’t pour from an empty cup” and through this membership I will help you fill your tank!

I love to help women find their way back to themselves using the tools of yoga, meditation and good chats. I run regular Retreats and Workshops both in New Zealand and Overseas (when we can travel).

I also offer an online membership called The Thrive Tribe. In this space, you will receive weekly yoga classes, monthly meditations and live coaching calls with me, CJ Telford, yogi, surfer and mumma of 4. I’m not an ex ballerina, or a model. I’m just a normal kiwi chick and I really do understand how busy and pressured your life can be and I’m here to show you a better way to live, using yoga and meditation to be a happier and more content version in all aspects of your life.

Much love, CJ x
