Find Your Groove

We are about to spring into September. Here's the schedule. Same, same but different.
Please remember there's no need to book any of the CWA Hall classes. Those who have sessions already booked at the FYG Studio please ensure that you give at least 24 hours notice if you are not able to attend so I can attempt to fill your spot. 🫰

||Surrender||

It's an interesting word, isn't it?

We're often taught to push through. Try harder. Do more. Keep going…

But Yin asks us to explore something different.

What happens when we stop pushing?

When we stop trying to get somewhere?

When we soften around the things we cannot control?

Surrender doesn't mean we stop caring.

And it doesn't mean we give up.

Sometimes surrender simply means we don't need to fight this moment.

We can lean into:

I can breathe here.

I can feel here.

I can be here.

And for today, that is enough.

Want to surrender with me?
Mondays 5.30pm at QCWA Mackay Branch Gordon Street.

You say you have balls…but do you really? 🤔
😂😝I’ll laugh at my own pun.
I have 3 peanut balls left if you are interested in easing muscle tension with the myofascial roll and release balls.🎾

Next weeks availability as we transition into spring 🍃

With so many clients sick at the moment I thought this would be a good time to share this wisdom from my friend Bel Inside Out Nutritional Therapy 🙏

ᴡʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅɪꜰꜰᴇʀᴇɴᴄᴇ ʙᴇᴛᴡᴇᴇɴ ʟᴇᴅ ʟɪɢʜᴛ ᴛʜᴇʀᴀᴘʏ ᴠꜱ ʀᴇᴅ ʟɪɢʜᴛ ᴛʜᴇʀᴀᴘʏ??

I get asked this quite a bit, so I thought I'd explain it as best I can.

First up, LED light therapy is the technology used to produce the light. Red light therapy describes the type of light being used and the therapeutic purpose.

LED stands for light-emitting diode. An LED device can produce different wavelengths of light — red, near-infrared, blue, yellow and others. So when someone says they are having “LED therapy”, that doesn't necessarily tell you what wavelength they're actually receiving.

And I guess wavelength matters.....

Red light therapy specifically refers to using red and/or near-infrared wavelengths of light to interact with the body's cells. Red light is generally used at wavelengths around 630–660nm, while near-infrared light commonly sits around 810–850nm.

And this is where it gets interesting, in a fun geeky kind of way.

Different wavelengths pe*****te to different depths. Red light is absorbed more superficially, while near-infrared can pe*****te deeper into the tissues. This is one of the reasons I have a full body machine that has both red and near-infrared wavelengths.

The goal isn't to simply make your skin glow under a red light.

The idea behind photobiomodulation (PBM) is that specific wavelengths of light can interact with cells and influence cellular processes, including how cells produce and use energy.

It's worth looking at and/or asking about the actual wavelengths a device uses rather than just going on the words “LED” or “red light”.

And if you're coming in for Red Light Therapy with me, that's exactly what I’m using, specific red and near-infrared wavelengths designed for photobiomodulation, rather than simply sitting under a red-coloured light. 🏮

Light is light… but the wavelength matters!

PLUS our Saturday classes kick off with 5 weeks straight of Satudays at 8am at CWA Hall!

Our second Cape Hillsborough lookout hike was equally as fantastic! We even saw whales 🐳.
The weather was divine and so was the company. Thank you everyone for coming along and exploring nature and this amazing region we live in!
Checkout the September hike in my events.

Next weeks appointments...better late then never. Whoops.
DM or text to book in.
