New Year, New Directions

I realize we are way into 2018, but this is the time of the year – right after I have celebrated my birthday and looking at the kids heading back to school – that I get that feeling that a new year is upon us.
New plans, new goals, new experiences, new realisations, new beginnings, new yoga clothes (haha!), new achievements, new shifts in my mental approach to life, new friendships………so exciting.
Welcome to all the new yogis who have started at the studio so far this year. Enjoy your yoga and wellbeing journey.
And thank you to all my students who have rejoined and have kept their classes up over the Christmas and New Year break. You simply rock.
To the clients who have started Homeopathy to support their health of body, mind and soul, I will also be offering home consultations around Sydney two days a week. This will be great help to clients who live far from my base in Bexley North or the elderly or families who have kids for whom travelling is a challenge.
My advice for all yogis for 2018 is: have consistency in your practise. It’s better to attend one to two classes  a week than to come five times a week for a month and then no classes for five months. It’s too taxing and stressful for the body and mind. Keep it real and true to what you can attend and what you can organise around your current working timetable, home and lifestyle.
Thank you for your bookings either by using the booking form on the website, text or messenger. I have instilled a new guide that a minimum of five yogis is needed to run a class. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Our first yoga social this year was a picnic and free yoga class at Nielsen Park. It was just pure magic. Outdoor practise, appreciation of nature at our doorstep, yoga fun, connecting with like-minded souls, nourishing food and my key laughter!!!!! Watch this space for more weekend outings, and yoga retreats.
Next month I will be super excited to host Lara Z, the creator of the studio’s Mandala, for a 2-hour masterclass:
The Infinite Body

9:00am – 11:00am

Reading her bio is extraordinary. She is a true creative soul, who is travelling the world teaching yoga and painting Mandalas of Love. She has currently shifted base from Sydney to Byron Bay, so it will be nice to have her back.
John Smallios from Higher Jiu Jitsu will also be back for another self-defence workshop:
Jiu Jitsu Workshop

7:00pm – 9:00pm

John is a fantastic teacher and I have joined the Higher Jiu Jitsu Community after experiencing the importance of self-defence at the workshop he conducted at the studio in late 2017.  I’m a proud white belt attending John’s Fundamental classes at his Martial Arts school in Woolloomooloo. I’m loving it but challenged with taking all my jewellery off before a class!!!! (haha!)
Love for all, fearless attitude and smile at the world. It has magic
