Hey friends...Sooo I have a question for you. Do you prefer face-to-face yoga classes or online yoga classes? I have not ventured into online teaching and am sussing it out. I'm thinking of trialling a few free 30 minute yoga classes next week and then go from there. If peeps are keen, I'll set up zoom and hook it up properly....Let me know your thoughts in dm or comments! xo

How y'all doing? I've found this pandemic hard. Part of me thinks....it's the perfect time to be productive and create and make and do handstand practice like this picture! And the other part of me is like 'nah. It's been a shift and I've really missed my family in PNG! Nothing like a pandemic to make you homesick, right? And so...what has held me has not been a strong practice like gym or handstands. But, it has been a spiritual practice of meditation, prayer, journaling, slow yin yoga and social distancing walks and talks with my beloved friends not to mention countless video calls home. I don't seem to have energy for high octane workouts at the moment! And it was timely on Monday cos I had my trauma sensitive yoga teacher training...and the lead instructor who has been teaching for over 20 years encouraged us all to be honest and respectful of our and others feelings...not forcing ideas of what you 'should' be doing or how you 'should' feel...just allowing. So in my low octane, chilled practice this week....I am doing my best to allow. Not force a pose or practice that's not ready yet. And...I share today to hopefully encourage you to also allow. Not force what doesn't want to happen yet and know I'm right here with ya whether you are going at full power, low power or no power! 😘

Um..hellloooo how cute is this cat? Having a sound sleep. I also don't want to be disturbed on cold mornings now we are heading into winter. 😅 **New blog post alert!!** I have written about sleep hygiene and healthy habits to support a good night of rest! And yes 'sleep hygiene' is a thing I only heard about last night in my yoga teacher training class. Link in bio! Make sure to have a good night of sleep to support mental health and wellness. xo

Public service announcement: dark chocolate is good for - your memory - blood pressure - your mood - it helps alleviate depression - acts as an anti-inflammatory...Google tells me that it is good for your brain. So if Google said it, it must be right. Right? 😅 I found new hot chocolate from @nibandnoble 😍😍 and with coconut milk it hits the spot! Sooo it's not just yoga that's good for your emotional wellbeing! Chocolate too! (Btw I really think I should be working in chocolate sales...)

Happy World Meditation Day!! 🙏🌴🌻 From my heart to yours...wishing you peace of mind and peace in your heart. I felt very at peace here in Vanuatu with my family a few years ago! Who wouldn't?! Stunning waterfalls, holidays, no pandemic, warm weather, island culture.. ...meditation practice has enabled me to find a little bit of peace when I'm not swimming in a stunning location..Meditation is not just for beautiful locations or holidaying in Bali or Vanuatu. Meditation is for the hustle and bustle of life when it gets busy, when life gets crazy, when you may have angry customers at work, screaming children, tough conversations with the ones you love...Meditation is a wonderful tool that can bring peace into daily life, wherever you are. That's why I love meditation. It helps me to bring some level of calm to my crazy. Have you started your meditation practice? 1 minute is all you need to start 😘

Sky gazing at moody clouds 🌻 I wonder if it will rain later. Doing some grounding and sitting with my bakery treats 😍 Much appreciation for the little things. Will you get outside today? I hope so.
