Today is the Summer Solstice ☀️

As the sun pauses high in the sky, we are invited to bask in its incredible life-giving energy and align with the vibrant energy of summer. This is a season of brightness, abundance, and living fully in each moment.

The solstice is a powerful time to reflect, set new intentions, and embrace forward momentum as we prepare to step into a new year. Let the fullness of nature remind you of your own capacity to grow, thrive, and radiate your inner light.

Here are a few journal prompts to guide some reflection:

🌻 Reflecting on and celebrating the year that was, what blessings have you received? What have you accomplished? What do you feel most proud of? What are you grateful for?

🌻 Are there any habits, thoughts, or patterns that may be holding you back? Is there anything you wish to let go of or release?

🌻 What do you wish to welcome in? What do you want 2025 to look like for you? What would you like to radiate into the world?

May you take a moment to pause, honour the light within and around you, and step into this new season of possibility as your most radiant self 🌞

There will be no classes this coming week as the church hall ceiling is being repaired!

I look forward to seeing you back on the mat the following week for four more weeks of classes before Christmas ✨

In Ayurveda, late winter through spring is Kapha season, when the elements of earth and water are most present in nature and in ourselves. While the energy of Kapha is inherently grounding, stable, and nourishing, when out of balance, it can leave us feeling sluggish, heavy, and unmotivated.

I was feeling quite stuck toward the end of winter and early spring, sensing the need for change but lacking the motivation and drive. Adopting some of these Kapha balancing practices over the last few weeks has already made a noticeable difference, helping me feel lighter and more energised. If you’re feeling the same, I’d love for you to try out some of these practices too!

For me, waking earlier, a consistent daily meditation practice and moving my body more has been so beneficial. What practices are you leaning on this season, and are there any new ones you’d like to try?

There will be no classes for the next two weeks and I will be taking a break from socials as I take some time to recharge with a little family getaway to the beautiful south coast. If you need to contact me during this time, please send me an email or get in touch via my website.

See you back on the mat on the 14th October 🥰

Today is the Spring Equinox 🌸

The equinox is a time where the energies of light and dark are held in balance, where the length of day and night are perfectly equal. We are in this threshold between the contraction of winter and the expansion of summer. As the earth awakens and blooms around us, we are invited to embrace this same energy - opening ourselves to new possibility, growth, and expansion. It is a time of rebirth and renewal.

Yesterday, I spent time honouring the equinox with my husband and son at the very wholesome Birds of a Feather Spring Fair at @loriennovalis, wandering through their beautiful grounds, admiring the gorgeous handmade decorations and enjoying freshly brewed chai whilst soaking in some sunshine. In the afternoon, I hosted my sacred pause mini retreat, where a group of beautiful beings came together to celebrate and honour the equinox. Later, I sat in the stillness of the energy we’d created, meditating and reflecting with deep gratitude for all the blessings in my life, especially the opportunity to share these teachings with others.

This morning, ahead of a busy day of social commitments, I took a quiet moment to plant some marigold seeds, sealing my intention for the season ahead before placing them in the earth.

Here are some ways you might like to honour the Spring Equinox today:
🌼 Spend time in nature, feeling the warmth of the sun and soaking in the beauty that surrounds you.
🌼 Create a spring altar with flowers, seeds, or fresh herbs.
🌼 Invite in some mindful movement to awaken and re-energise your body.
🌼 Spend some time in quiet reflection before setting an intention for the season ahead. What do you wish to plant, nurture, and grow?
🌼 Practice a mantra meditation - ‘I am’ on the inhale and ‘renewed’ on the exhale.

May you feel renewed, restored, and inspired, ready to grow and bloom this spring season 🪷

Spring blessings to you all 🩷

Thank you to all the wonderful women who joined us for our Spring Renew Day Retreat last Sunday! 🌸

It was such a fun and uplifting day filled with yoga, learning, nourishing food, deep relaxation, and creating DIY low-tox body cream and essential oil perfume rollers.

We’re excited to host our Summer Glow Day Retreat next! Comment ‘SUMMER’ below to express your interest in joining us ☀️

🌸

As we step into spring, a season of renewal and awakening, we are invited to embrace the vibrant energy that begins to surround us.

Spring is a time of new beginnings. Nature awakens from its slumber, blooming with fresh life and colour. The days grow longer, the air warmer, and there’s a palpable sense of optimism and possibility.

In Ayurveda, spring is associated with kapha dosha, the energy of earth and water. As the heaviness of winter melts away, we are encouraged to shed any lingering stagnation and embrace lightness, growth, and movement.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing some practices to help you align with the energy of spring, promoting a sense of vitality and rejuvenation. But for today, I am taking a moment to set intentions for this new season—what do I want to nurture and grow? How can I bring more lightness and joy into my daily life? 🌷

How are you welcoming the energy of spring? What are you ready to bloom in your life?

Coming Full Circle | A Moment of Reflection and Gratitude ✨

Five years ago, I embarked on what would be an unforgettable journey that changed the course of my life. I had been practicing yoga for a number of years and, after witnessing the magic that arose both on and off the mat, I found myself yearning to learn more. I signed up for the beautiful Chantal’s first-ever yoga teacher training at @om_sweet_om_milton. Initially, I didn’t think I would teach yoga; I primarily did the training to deepen my knowledge. But about halfway through, something changed, and I felt called to share this practice with others. I completed the training at the end of July, and a month later, I put in my resignation for my full-time role in marketing. This was a huge leap of faith but the best decision I ever made and I am forever grateful to all the wonderful souls who supported and encouraged me along the way.

Fast forward to now, after teaching regular classes at @kula.body for a number of years, working closely with and studying under the amazing @bhakti.rose, setting up my own business, and building a beautiful yoga community in Galston, facilitating workshops and circles with my dear friend @yoga_on_my_mind, running seasonal retreats with the lovely @naturally.better.living, and continually deepening my knowledge through further study, my heart is overflowing with gratitude after returning to @om_sweet_om_milton, this time as a teacher on that teacher training.

It was an incredible honour to be able to share my passion and knowledge with the beautiful group of trainees last week. I taught Ayurveda, the energetics of the female menstrual cycle, yoga in pregnancy, and an introduction to the divine feminine and masculine energies. And the timing couldn’t have been more perfect with the winter solstice and the full moon!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Chantal for believing in me and supporting me all the way and of course, to the trainees too, for their eagerness to dive deep into the teachings. My heart is so full, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes you all 💖

Today is the Winter Solstice 🌙

The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, making it a time of darkness and contraction. Just as nature does, we are called to slow down and go within, to facilitate the process of decaying, decomposing, breaking down and truly releasing to make space for new growth, new life and expansion. In the laws of nature, darkness is a nourishing source that is essential for healing, growth, renewal and evolution.

It is after the long night of the winter solstice that the sun experiences a rebirth, waxing in power as the days begin to grow longer again. This time is not only a powerful period to honour the darkness but also our own innate luminosity, nurturing our inner warmth and light.

Whilst the last few days of teaching have seen me in a more outward expression, being back in the studio where I did my very first teacher training, now in the seat of the teacher sharing what I love and being immersed within the wonderful community of @om_sweet_om_milton and a beautiful group of teacher trainees, has brought so much warmth and light to my soul. There’s also been pockets of slowing down and immersing myself in mother nature, observing and truly appreciating the beauty of this season - the beauty of the cycle of death and rebirth. After teaching this afternoon, my son and I watched the sun set over the mountains amongst the bare branches of the winter trees before heading to the beach to watch the full moon rise over the ocean. It felt like the perfect way to honour the solstice 🤍

“The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation. When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed.” — Joseph Campbell

Discover the ancient self-care practice of Abhyanga ✨

This is a practice I have wanted to incorporate into my life for some time now but have only recently started, after being re-inspired by the beautiful @alchemyofayurveda and her amazing book ‘Ayurvedic Rituals’. I gifted myself half an hour one Sunday evening to dedicate to this practice and it was divine. At first, I wondered how I could spend more than a couple of minutes doing this practice but as my body softened and my breath deepened, I got lost in the rhythmic motion and that night, I slept so well. Whilst traditionally practiced daily as part of a morning or evening routine, a weekly ritual seems more achievable for me given the season of life I am currently in.

So here’s a little how to guide I’d like to share with you!

Some additional tips not covered in the reel
✨ Choosing your oil - cold pressed black sesame oil is traditionally used but you can choose whichever oil best suits your skin. You might like to change it up with the seasons too! Sesame is great for balancing vata, coconut for pitta and safflower for kapha. You can also add in a few drops of essential oil if you wish to scent your oil.

✨ Warming your oil - whether you are using an oil burner or a cup of hot water, take extra care not to burn yourself. The oil should be warm not hot!

✨ Massaging the oil into your body - begin at the extremities and work towards the heart. Use long strokes on the limbs and circular motions on the joints. Massage the chest in a clockwise motion, as well as the stomach following the path of the large intestine, moving up from the right hip towards the rib cage, then across, then down on the left side. Give a little extra time and attention to massaging the oil into your scalp, ears, and feet.

And to finish, here are just a few of the many possible health benefits -
✨ Stimulates circulation and improves the lymphatic system

✨ Soothes the nervous system

✨ Promotes deep sleep and calms the mind

✨ Benefits all 3 doshas as it pacifies vata and pitta, and stimulates kapha

#abhyanga #ayurveda #selfcare

In Ayurveda, the period from autumn to mid-winter is known as vata season, and it is dominated by the elements of air and space. To maintain balance during this time, it’s important to counteract the qualities of vata, which are light, dry, sharp, mobile, and cold. When these qualities are in excess they can leave us feeling anxious, flighty and ungrounded. To address these imbalances, it’s important to incorporate the opposing qualities of warmth, moisture, heaviness, and slowness into your daily life. Here are some ways to balance vata and keep your mind and body healthy during this season.

I would love to hear what practices are best serving you at the moment and which ones you might like to welcome in. For me, I’m loving weighting the body in savasana and restorative poses. I find it really helps me to ground down, land into my body, and find that blissful feeling of deep relaxation and rest. And for what I’d like to welcome in - establishing a daily routine or rhythm. This is something I’ve been trying to work on for a while now but often struggle with!
