Private Yoga Brisbane

Happy International Yoga Day 🧘🏼‍♀️ May your journey be deeply rooted in the eternal quest for inner knowledge, acceptance and wisdom ✨

Just as the roots support the tree above, allow yourself to ground in a solid foundation of knowing yourself: body, spirit, mind and heart🌳

Just as the branches of the tree reach upwards, remain steadfast and curious in your endeavours to constantly evolve, improve and develop 🍄

You are responsible for yourself. Take that notion and soar like the eagle 🦅

Keep practicing. Stay humble. Find peace ☮️

Do you believe in signs? 💫 Seven years gone Dad, but I know you’re watching over us today 🥰

Grief & loss is universal to the human condition. We all attach to culturally appropriate symbols & rituals to ease our suffering, find answers or discover peace.

People come to yoga for a deep calling within. A knowing, or a sensation that there is more at work than what we see. That around us is an ether, an energy that shifts and moves us in flow. We are a part of this dynamic system, emerging and adapting to evolve and grow. Go with it.

When we are on the treadmill of life, these signs become blurry or are ignored because we are operating at surface level. This is where we are lost, disconnected, entitled and lonely.

But when we pause, reconnect our mind to our body and allow the sensations to arise, we can feel it. An essence of connectedness to all around us. When you are in that space and glance up, you will connect to another being who resides in that moment also. Do you feel it?

And today, as I run around trying to avoid a wave of grief washing me away again, I glance at my phone and there you are 💙

Festive Joy from Us! This cluster of stars wishes you a wonderful holiday ✨

How good is serendipity?! 🌈

Surrounding yourself with positive people raises your vibrations and furthers your journey to transformation💫

There are a few magic humans missing from this picture… you know who you are! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Where are you in your journey?

Turn your focus inwards. Stop the blame , deflection, projection and ignorance. Your instrument of change is within you 🎶🎶

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable 🥴

Nothing changes without challenge, patterns keep repeating until you make space for discomfort, on and off the mat 🧘🏼‍♀️

Take note! There is a fine line between discomfort and pain. Learn your boundaries and honour your edges 🙏🏼

Whether you want to effect change in your body, your mind or your feelings, you need to put in the hard work 😓 It’s going to get ugly, feel uneasy and be confronting. But the reward will be so much sweeter, because of how hard you worked to get there 💪🏼

All great achievements are preceded by small wins 🏆 Effort equals success!

So if there is something you want to change or achieve, start making small steps towards your goal 💚

Svadhyaya is the study of Self. The quiet observation of your thoughts, feelings and reactions. Become the master of this, and you become the master of your Self.

It will be uncomfortable 😣

But it’s so, so worth it 🙌🏼

This is Soula. I’ve been teaching her every Tuesday for five years, so really, she and her Mum Ellie are family ❤️

Soula and I only listen to Olivia Newton John when we practice Olivia is her favourite 😍

Xanadu is our favourite 🛼

Ellie is my Soul Sister. We both know that, without having to say a word 😉

We share books 📚 Talk about energy, vibrations and frequency⚡️ We are connected 🌈

Today we cried together, sang a mantra for Olivia and hugged each other for longer than most do 🤗

This is yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️ Travel well ONJ ✨✨✨

When you embark on a journey of self discovery, not everyone will like it 😤

When you start to question your thoughts, observe your feelings, and become aware of your behaviours, the cracks begin to open and you can take a deeper peer inside 🫣

Do you like what you see?

It is a brave and humbling path, to sit in quiet observation of your constructed sense of Self. What or who has shaped your values and beliefs? Do you even know what they are? What is your perception of reality? Is everything you’ve been told the truth? Who says that it is?

You can question everything, I invite you🤲🏼

And some will not like it, because you are questioning them too 🤔

But when you begin to feel something is off, that patterns of discontent become apparent, then it’s time to turn your focus inwards. It’s going to get messy 🤯

And here is where yoga begins. The slow practice, requiring patience and compassion, inquiry and discomfort, where the edges of the body melt away and the consciousness begins 💫

More than the poses, it’s the space in between. The quiet whispers at the back of your mind previously drowned out by busy-ness and noise 🙉

Here is where you begin to connect. To your sense of “I” and your awareness of “we” 🌏

Sit there for a moment, beyond your comfort, and listen👂🏼This is yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️
