The Love of Yoga

29/01/2026

We prioritise continuity over casual attendance.

Regular practice supports deeper understanding, safer progress, and more meaningful change over time.

It’s been a while folks! Due to work commitments overseas last year I stopped offering a regular community class in the Hunter. I’m happy to share that I will be teaching at The Yoga Shed in lower Belford on Tuesday nights this term. We start next week on 3 February at 7pm with a Yin Flow class. Bookings via the website. I hope to see you there 🙏🏻

✨ Meet Victoria ✨

Victoria teaches gentle, trauma informed yoga that’s welcoming to everyone — all ages, body types, and life stages. Her classes help you notice your inner experience with curiosity and kindness, so you can feel safer, calmer, and more connected to yourself. She believes we’re more than our bodies, minds, or roles. There’s an essential Self inside each of us, and a regular yoga practice can help us come back to that truth.

Victoria’s path started in her late teens with an interest in Eastern philosophy, psychology, and meditation. In her 30s she began practising yoga, and in her 40s she trained in the Krishnamacharya lineage with teachers in Australia and India. She has also studied yin yoga and mindfulness. Victoria is a psychologist, so her teaching blends practical yoga with an understanding of the mind and healing.

We’re very grateful to have Victoria as part of The Yoga Shed teaching team this term 🤍

My 5pm classes at Singleton on Tuesdays are on a break while I’m away for work. Had a lovely morning practice in my hotel with this garden view. Classes are still on at Bellamichi Yoga though. 💞🙏🏻

Brrr! It’s cold outside today and it’s windy too! Winter can lead us to stay in more where it’s cosy. It’s a great time to keep a yoga practice going too. It can help move stagnant energy, boost the spirits and enliven the mind. Yoga is on tomorrow Tuesday 5pm in Singleton in a lovely warm space. Dm to book 🙏🏻💞

We often ask, “Is my āsana improving?”�But a more powerful question might be—“Is my mind becoming more steady?”

Sthira-sukham āsanam isn’t about the most advanced shape.�It’s about the internal seat—�the one we return to when the world gets noisy.

Āsana was never the goal.�It was the preparation.�For stillness. For clarity. For yoga.

Thank you for sharing with us

Today I was up with the sun to facilitate the first of a series of morning yoga classes for the staff at the Lone Pine Barracks, the home of the Australian infantry. Almost everyone there was a beginner and most of them soldiers. Mostly male. In a huge gym. No yoga mats just making do with acro mats. Very cold morning of about 4 degrees in Singleton. I taught a beginners class sequence that I wrote during my yoga teacher training back in 2018, thanks to for all those assignments - I use those sequences all the time. I feel like I’m going back to the beginning again, teaching newbies. It reminds me of my first classes - what sparked the love of yoga in me 💞 I’m looking forward to seeing what unfolds over the months ahead as these sessions continue.

"When we stop to breathe, we’re not wasting time. Western capitalist civilization says 'Time is money' and that we should use our time to make money. We can’t afford to stop and breathe or enjoy a walk or marvel at the setting sun. We cannot afford to lose time. But time is more precious than money. Time is life. Coming back to our breathing and becoming aware that we have a wonderful body— this is life."
-Thich Nhat Hanh, "The Art of Living"

I love the idea of inviting someone into our peaceful calm state! We do absorb the moods of those around us, and it can hard to keep our own nervous system calm around people in a distressed, anxious or angry state. One of the benefits of yoga, is learning how to reliably and deliberately calm your own nervous system. Join me and experience the difference tomorrow at 5pm.
