As September comes to a close and October is upon us, join me at any of my classes to explore the meaning of Apas, both on and off the mat.
🌊 Apas – The Element of Flow 🌊
Apas is the element of flow, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. It reminds us that strength is not always rigid — sometimes it is soft, yielding, and responsive.
Just as rivers carve valleys and oceans shape land, water teaches us about the quiet power of movement infused with grace.
In yoga, embodying Apas means cultivating fluidity in both body and mind. Flowing transitions become like waves rising and falling, currents shifting with ease. It is an invitation to soften resistance, to surrender where needed, and to adapt to what arises — both on and off the mat.
This October, we’ll explore Apas as our theme, inviting the wisdom of water into our practice and daily lives. 💧✨

🌿 Heritage Day Yoga Flow 🌿
Join me on Wednesday, 24th September at 07h30 at Virgin Active Thornhill for a special Heritage Day yoga class.
We’ll celebrate South Africa’s rich and diverse heritage by honoring the body as our first home — the place where all traditions, strength, and wisdom reside. Through a grounding sequence of standing twists, forward folds, and inversions, we’ll realign body and mind, finding balance and connection within ourselves and with one another.
Be sure to book your place on the Virgin Active App. Non Virgin Active members are welcome, be sure to check in with your ID 10 min before class starts.
✨ Begin your Heritage Day with intention, presence, and vitality. Let’s rise together, breathe together, and move together.

Join me next week as we continue to embrace Ahimsa in our yoga practice.
Ahimsa, or non-harming, teaches us to approach hip openers and closers with compassion and patience. The hips often store a lot of tension and emotion, so these postures can feel intense. Practicing Ahimsa means moving gently, listening closely to the body, and never forcing yourself deeper than your natural edge.
In hip openers, Ahimsa is allowing space for gradual release rather than pushing into discomfort. In hip closers, it’s about engaging mindfully, activating strength without strain. Both invite balance — softening and strengthening — while honoring where your body is today. By practicing with kindness, you create safety, release, and a deeper sense of trust in your body.

✨ Ahimsa in Balance & Inversions ✨
Ahimsa, the principle of non-harming, reminds us to approach standing balances and inversions with patience, awareness, and kindness. It’s about listening to your body, avoiding force, and honoring your unique journey.
In yoga, we often speak of finding your edge — that space between comfort and strain where growth happens without pain. In balances, this might mean using props or accepting where your stability is today. In inversions, it may be staying at the preparatory stage until you feel ready.
By respecting your edge, you create a safe, sustainable, and compassionate practice — one built on trust, breath, and self-kindness. 🌿

This September we delve into the theme of Ahimsa.
Ahimsa is one of the five yamas in yoga philosophy, described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. The yamas are like ethical guidelines or moral disciplines—principles that help us live in harmony with ourselves and others.
✨ How Ahimsa relates to yoga:
Foundation of the practice – Ahimsa means non-violence or non-harming in thought, word, and action. It’s considered the first yama, showing it is the foundation of yoga both on and off the mat.
In the body – Practicing yoga with Ahimsa means listening to your body, respecting its limits, and avoiding force. It’s about moving mindfully, without pushing into pain or self-criticism.
In the mind – Ahimsa is also about cultivating a kind and compassionate inner dialogue. Instead of judging your practice (“I’m not flexible enough” / “I should do better”), you practice acceptance and patience.
In daily life – Off the mat, Ahimsa extends to how we interact with others and the world—choosing words that uplift rather than harm, practicing kindness, and making conscious choices that reduce harm (for example, diet, lifestyle, or environmental impact, depending on one’s interpretation).
Spiritual growth – Ahimsa creates the mental clarity and peace needed for deeper practices like meditation. When we reduce violence and conflict in ourselves, we can move toward the inner stillness yoga points us toward.
In short, yoga isn’t just about asanas (postures); Ahimsa reminds us that yoga is a way of living, rooted in compassion—for ourselves, others, and the world.

This morning, I woke up to warm sunshine, and my heart filled with gratitude.
Gratitude for being able to open my door, let the fresh air in, and sip my coffee while the birds sang in the background. Gratitude for my dogs, chasing each other in and out of the house with such joy. For my family and friends.
And for the time I spent on my yoga mat—planning classes for my students, yet finding myself breathing deeper and focusing inward.
Life moves so quickly. We’re always on our phones, working, keeping up with household chores, running after children… but how often do we pause to simply sit, notice, and be present? This morning, I did. I watched my dogs play, listened to the world around me, and felt grateful for the smallest things.
