As I sit here after work, in the silence, with a glass of wine in my hand, I am grateful.

Grateful for the quiet.
For the peace.
For the fact that my son is visiting his grandparents, my partner is sitting beside me, and the dog is curled up in her bed.

And honestly… I love it.

I love this season of my life.

Adult children.
Work.
Life.
Rest.
Wine.
Repeat.

But I also know that not everyone is in a season they are loving right now.

I have a friend with young children who is completely exhausted.

Another navigating a loss beyond measure.

Another missing her child who has gone off to college and finding the quiet incredibly difficult.

Another navigating rehab and doing the hard, brave work of rebuilding their life.

Different people.
Different seasons.
Different versions of hard.

And perhaps that's the thing I want to remind you of today.

Not every day is a great day.

Not every day is productive.

Not every day is happy.

Not every season is joyful or abundant.

Sometimes life feels full.

Sometimes it feels empty.

Sometimes we are thriving.

Sometimes we are simply getting through the day.

And sometimes, honestly, we just have to sit down, take a breath and say…

F**k it.

Tomorrow is another day.

In yoga, we talk about impermanence.

Everything changes.

The good stuff changes.
The hard stuff changes.
The seasons change.
We change.

So wherever you are today, perhaps you don't need to force yourself to be somewhere else.

You don't need to find the lesson.

You don't need to be grateful for the difficult thing.

You don't need to make today productive.

Maybe you just need to meet yourself exactly where you are.

And trust that this season, too, will change.

Tonight, I'm going to sit in the quiet, sip my wine, listen to the dog snore and be grateful for this particular season of my life.

And tomorrow?

We'll see what comes.

Why does yoga feel so good outside?

It’s not just the view.

There’s actually some science behind why combining yoga with nature may be so good for our wellbeing.

Nature + stress

Spending time in nature has been linked with reduced stress and greater feelings of wellbeing. Being surrounded by natural environments can give our minds an opportunity to slow down and restore.

Natural sounds

Birdsong, rustling leaves and the sound of the breeze aren't just beautiful - research suggests natural sounds can support relaxation, mood and psychological restoration.

Movement + breath

Yoga brings mindful movement, conscious breathing and body awareness into the mix - helping us pause, reconnect and become more present.

And then there’s the combination

When we practise yoga outside, we're not just moving our bodies.

We're noticing the warmth of the sun.

Feeling the breeze on our skin.

Listening to the birds.

Feeling the ground beneath our feet.

Breathing.

Moving.

Being present.

Perhaps that's part of why outdoor yoga can feel so nourishing.

Sometimes wellbeing doesn't need to be complicated.

A mat.
A breath.
A little sunshine.
Some birdsong.

And permission to simply be.

This is one of the reasons I love outdoor yoga at Sparkling Soul Yoga.

I believe yoga should be accessible, inclusive and a simple way to support both physical and mental wellbeing.

Sometimes the studio doesn't need four walls.

Sometimes it's just a patch of grass beneath the sky.

Have you ever noticed how different yoga feels when you practise outside?

EXHALE - The final Sparkling Soul Yoga Day Retreat for 2026

What if, before the year comes to an end, you gave yourself permission to simply… exhale?
Not another thing to achieve.
Not another list to tick off.
Not another weekend spent looking after everyone else.
Just time to slow down.
Time to breathe.
Time to move your body.
Time to rest.
Time to reconnect with yourself.

Exhale is my final yoga retreat for 2026 - a beautiful day created for you to step away from the noise and give yourself some space to simply be.

A day of yoga, stillness, connection, reflection and restoration, surrounded by nature at beautiful Creative Roots Breath Therapy, Kobble Creek.
✨ Slow, nourishing yoga
✨ Breathwork
✨ Yin & restorative practices
✨ Meditation & stillness
✨ Time in nature
✨ Journaling & reflection
✨ Connection with beautiful humans
✨ Space to simply be

You don't need to arrive feeling calm.
You don't need to have everything figured out.
You don't need to be flexible.
You just need to arrive.
And breathe.
Exhale.

A chance to release what you're ready to let go of, make space for what matters and finish 2026 feeling a little more grounded, rested and connected.

Brisbane friends… fancy a little Sunday escape?

You know those Sundays where you just want to get out of Brisbane for a few hours?

Not a big weekend away.
Not a packed itinerary.
Just somewhere beautiful, a little fresh air, some movement, good food and time to breathe.

I’ve got just the thing.

On Sunday 1 November, I’m taking Sparkling Soul Yoga to the beautiful Rosalie House Winery & Vineyard in the Toowoomba region for the very first Yoga in the Vines.

Imagine starting your Sunday with…

🧘‍♀️ Yoga amongst the vines
🌿 Fresh country air
🍇 Beautiful vineyard views
🤍 Connection and community
✨ Time to slow down
🥐 And a delicious brunch afterwards

It's a little yoga adventure outside Brisbane - and I'd love you to come with me.

And no, you don't need to be super flexible or an experienced yogi.

Just bring yourself, your mat and a willingness to slow down and enjoy the morning.

Yoga in the Vines
📅 Sunday 1 November
📍 Rosalie House Winery & Vineyard, Toowoomba region

Gather a friend, make a morning of it and come and experience something a little different with me.

Who’s up for a Sunday road trip?

Yoga? Me? Why on earth would I do that?

Well… because sometimes your body needs to move.
Sometimes your nervous system needs a little space.
Sometimes your brain needs a break from the 47 tabs you've got open.
Sometimes you need to breathe, stretch, strengthen, wobble, laugh, slow down and simply come back to yourself.
And sometimes… you just need 45 minutes where nobody needs anything from you.

So here's your invitation to practice with me this week at Sparkling Soul Yoga:

Wednesday | 5:45am
45-minute Zoom practice - from the comfort of your own home. PJ's absolutely welcome!

Friday | 6:00am
45-minute outdoor yoga at Hardcastle Park, Hawthorne.

Saturday | 7:00am
45-minute outdoor yoga beside the Brisbane River.

Saturday | 8:00am
45-minute outdoor yoga beside the Brisbane River.

Sunday | 8:00am
60-minute Sparkling Soul Yin - a slower practice to recharge, release and renew.

No perfect body required.

No yoga experience required.

No touching your toes required.

Just come as you are.

So… which one are you joining us for this week?
And if you're still thinking… “Yoga? Me? Why on earth would I do that?” Come and find out.

Movement. Nature. Connection. Good food. And the opportunity to simply pause.

Yoga was never meant to be a test of how flexible, strong or coordinated you are.

What I love about the practice is that there is always somewhere to begin and there is always room to grow.

You don’t have to arrive knowing what you’re doing. You don’t have to have a particular body, level of fitness or amount of experience.

You just have to be willing to show up and see what the practice has to offer you.

And honestly, that’s one of the best things about yoga.

Come as you are.

Kym,

THE IN-BETWEEN 

It’s Tuesday. The end of another month is approaching. The school holidays are here.
The weather is getting warmer. And somehow, there are only 93 days until Christmas.

The end of the year is coming into view. 

But what about the in-between? 

The in-between seasons. The in-between school terms. The in-between chapters.
The days when you genuinely aren’t sure what day it is. The moments when life is marching forward around you, but you’re not quite sure where you’re headed.

Maybe you’re treading water. Maybe you’re waiting for 2027. Maybe you’re grieving something that has changed. Maybe you’re celebrating something wonderful. Maybe you’re exhausted. Maybe you’re simply putting one foot in front of the other.

And perhaps that is enough.

Not every season of our lives will get a chapter in our memoir. Some seasons are quiet. Some are messy. Some are about surviving rather than thriving. And sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is take care of the very basics:

Drink some water. Eat something nourishing. Get some sleep. Take a breath. Step outside.
Move your body in a way that feels good. Reach out and ask for help when you need it.

Because life is full of juxtaposition.

While one person is celebrating, another is grieving. While one person is beginning, another is letting go. While one person is feeling hopeful, another is simply trying to make it through the day. There is room for all of it. And this is one of the things I love about yoga.

Yoga doesn't ask you to arrive as the happiest, strongest or most together version of yourself. You can arrive exactly as you are. Tired. Hopeful. Grieving. Joyful. Overwhelmed. Curious. Lost. Beginning again.

There is a practice for every season. Even the in-between ones. 

So if you're somewhere in the middle right now, perhaps you don't need to have it all figured out. Just take the next step. One foot in front of the other. And then another. You are allowed to simply be here.

WHY MOVEMENT MATTERS

Movement is so much more than exercise.

Our bodies are designed to move - and regular movement supports us in ways that go far beyond strength and fitness.

Movement keeps our joints moving
Gentle, regular movement helps maintain mobility and range of motion and reminds our bodies that they are capable of moving in different ways.

Movement supports our muscles and bones
We need our muscles to stay strong and our bones to experience load. This becomes increasingly important as we age.

Movement supports our nervous system
Walking, stretching, yoga, dancing, swimming — movement can help shift us out of prolonged stillness and give our nervous system a change of state.

Movement can support our mental wellbeing
Physical activity is associated with better mood and reduced symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Sometimes the first step is simply getting up and moving.

Movement supports balance and confidence
Practising different movements challenges coordination, balance, strength and proprioception - helping us feel more capable in our bodies.

Movement helps us stay connected to our bodies
When life gets busy, we can spend hours living from the neck up. Movement gives us an opportunity to notice: How am I feeling today? What does my body need?

And perhaps most importantly… Movement doesn't have to look like exercise.

It doesn't have to be intense. It doesn't have to hurt. It doesn't have to happen in a gym.
And it certainly doesn't have to be perfect. A walk around the block. A few stretches while the kettle boils. Dancing in the kitchen. Gardening. Playing with the kids. A yoga practice. Getting up from your desk and moving your body. It all counts.

Think movement, not punishment.
Movement, not perfection.
Movement as something you get to do - rather than something you have to do.

Your body doesn't need you to punish it. It needs you to use it, care for it and keep moving it in ways that feel good and meaningful to you.

What movement does your body need today?

Reset & Rise - a little reflection

Yesterday, 13 beautiful people joined me at Stretch Yoga Holland Park for two hours of slowing down, recalibrating and simply being.

And honestly, this is exactly why I created Reset & Rise.

For two hours, there was nowhere else to be.

No rushing.
No achieving.
No doing more.

Just movement, breath, rest, stillness and space to reconnect with ourselves.

One of my favourite moments came right at the beginning, when I said: “All you have to do is lie down.”

And I heard little sighs of relief around the room. 

Because sometimes that's what we need to hear.

You don't have to fix everything.
You don't have to be productive.
You don't have to hold everything together.

Sometimes you just need permission to stop.

And then, at the end, came some beautiful words that I will carry with me:

“Thank you so much, I needed that.”

“Absolutely loved the session today. Very special to be able to spend it with my daughter.”

And simply:

“Today was really good.”

There is value in creating space to pause.

Thank you to every single person who trusted me with those two hours yesterday. Thank you for showing up, for slowing down, for resting and for allowing yourselves to simply be.

And thank you to Stretch Yoga Holland Park for giving us such a beautiful space to do it.

I created Reset & Rise because I know how easy it is to spend our lives carrying everything and everyone else.

Yesterday was a reminder that we deserve to put some of that down too.

Perhaps that's your reminder today.

Pause.
Breathe.
Let go.
You don't have to carry it all at once. 🌿
