🌟 Ayubowan. 🌟
May you live a long life - the traditional Sri Lankan greeting. 🫶

My latest email newsletter is out, with reflections on our recent RETURN TO ESSENCE retreat in Sri Lanka and details about our 2027 retreats.

Drop a comment below if you want to know more about next year’s retreats.

There is something so special about the retreat bubble.

This year’s retreat was an epic week steeped in Ayurveda, Hela Wedakama, wildlife, batik, Sri Lankan cuisine and more, and lots of baby animals 🙈💫❤️

But more importantly it was a reminder of what it’s like to live in rhythm with nature and our own natural rhythms.

So much of our everyday lives is spent scheduled, rushed, filled with doing, and with little regard for ourselves, each other or the natural world around us.

This retreat gave us space to slow down, reconnect and remember what truly matters.

Sri Lanka you have my heart ❤️

The kindness, generosity and resilience of the Sri Lankan people is incredible. 🫶🙏🌟

Sending so much love and thanks to everyone who welcomed us so warmly and made us feel like part of the family. 😉

One particularly sobering moment was standing next to the memorial statue that was erected to commemorate those who lost their lives in the 2004 tsunami 🌊 The second wave that hit the shore was the height of the statues shoulders. 😥

A powerful reminder of both the immense force of nature and the resilience of those who live alongside it.

As I sit here reflecting on this last journey around the sun, I am reminded of the preciousness of this human existence. 💫

I am reminded of the power and beauty of connection. 🫶

I woke up feeling heavy and tender. 🥹The heaviness of the year, the grief, the chance to finally let go after holding space for others for so long.

The weather provided a mixed bag of sun and wild storms acting as a catalyst to cleanse, purify and wash away the heaviness.

My darling husband making me feel special with the incredible gifts and experiences he had arranged. As well as connecting, laughing and crying with dear friends.

NEEM Boutique Hotel | Madiha | Sri Lanka providing a birthday breakfast surprise and Malabar Hill Resort & Restaurant Sri Lanka topping off the day with an exquisite meal, view and opportunity to experience their yoga Shala and sound bowls.

Feeling so much gratitude for life, for the chance to greet another day, to experience Sri Lanka, the amazing food, people and animals and for LOVE ❤️ . For without the fullness of love we cannot know grief. Each tear I shed reminds me of the love that is there.

Wow!! 🌟 it’s hard to put into words and a few images how incredible this week has been in Sri Lanka.

Nestled in the jungle, fully embracing the Ayurvedic way of life, natural rhythms and connection to the natural world. 14 courageous yogis gave up some of their creature comforts, coffee, chocolate, snacks and other vices to eat, live and breathe the Ayurvedic way.

Surrounded by monkeys, monitor lizards, snakes, fireflies we practiced outdoors with our faithful protector 🐕 to frighten them away if they strayed too close.

Being so close to nature as we practiced was both awe inspiring and challenging and really made me notice how much we have strayed from the natural world, controlling everything down to the temperature of our rooms we practice yoga in.

Sarana : Telling the Sri Lankan Story provided some incredible workshops getting to learn more about Helawedakama - Sri Lankan’s indigenous medicine similar to Ayurveda, Batik making, Sri Lankan food and nature walk, plus the most exquisite sound journey with Màya ॐ.

Upon leaving I aMàya ॐly noticing the lack of bird calls, monkey noises, insect chirps and other such sounds that remind us of the natural world of which we are part of.

This retreat has been life changing on so many levels and a reminder of our true essence. A reminder to be more connected to ourselves and intuition and to notice how much we blindly over consume - food, media, alcohol, in an effort to disconnect and numb.

A heartfelt thanks and so much appreciation for Lisa Nicole Theron - her iLisa Nicole Theronand love she shares in her words of wisdom.

Every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and evolve.

Sometimes it’s only by looking back that we can see how far we have come and the subtle changes that have occurred along the way.

And sometimes it’s life’s greatest challenges that provide the biggest opportunities for growth.

I am beyond excited about the upcoming Into Being Retreat with Lisa Nicole Theron.

This time we will be at an Ayurvedic Yoga Retreat Centre in Sri Lanka. Guiding 14 gorgeous souls through a week of Yoga, Ayurveda, adventures in nature, joyful connection, and awe inspiring moments.

Every retreat holds a special place in my heart. 💗 It is wonderful to witness participants come home to themselves, create new friendships and shed the stresses of day to day life.

If you are interested in next year’s offerings, sign up to my email as they are released there first. Link in bio.

I did it!
Despite the odds being stacked against me, feeling woefully underprepared due to limited skate trainings over the last 6 months, and still processing the loss of my dearest friend less than 3 weeks ago.
I did it.

At the beginning of the week I was in tears ready to pull out.

I had lengthy discussions with friends about whether I should or shouldn’t go. Some saying take the pressure off and pull out, others saying no go for it, even my kind Uber driver said I should do it to relieve the stress in my life.

A pep talk with Macarena❣️ROLLER SKATER put things into perspective. I told her either way I would feel crap, crap if I pulled out, crap if I did a lousy skate. She said maybe you should take the pressure off yourself and just skate anyway and not worry about how you do.

Mic drop ! 🎤

In that moment I realised the only pressure was coming from my own internal high standards and desire to do well.

I made the decision at the last possible moment to see it through.

I dedicated my skate to Kim and to the lessons she has also gifted me which seemed so appropriate given we are in the time of celebrating Matariki.

💫Courage to show up despite the odds being against you.
💫Determination and grace in the face of challenge.
💫Taking each moment as it comes - it is what it is.
💫Compassion for myself- I am accepted and worthy regardless of the result.

Thank you to all who engaged in pep talks with me.
Thank you to all my team mates and coaches for the support.

Congratulations to everyone showing up at Nationals. You are all an inspiration 💫🫶

Feeling utterly devastated about losing my best friend of nearly 30 years today, Kim was just 44years old. 😭💫

💫💫💫
Brave beautiful soul
Courageously fighting, but
Now it’s time to rest.
💫💫💫

The most incredible brave soul I’ve ever met. Who showed up with courage and grace through each hurdle in her battle with cancer.

You taught me what it means to truly live and appreciate each moment, to love fully and completely.

You brought out my inner child and accepted all aspects and versions of me through the years.

Every time I dress up I will think of you. 💃
Every sunrise I’ll think of you.
Every time I encounter challenges I will think of you and remind myself ‘it is what it is’.

I have been writing Haiku most days to work through the pain and grief of knowing that this day would come.

In this past two weeks I’ve seen some spectacular sunrises and cherished some beautiful moments with you. What I realise is that words or photos can not do justice to the awe and majesty of life, of love, of you. 💫❤️🫶

I feel and emptiness and pain like no other. You truly are a unicorn 🦄. I hope there is a magical unicorn playground we will meet in one day. EMOK 4 EVA

Hip and thoracic mobility are key areas to work on particularly as we get older.

Hip mobility helps with all of our daily activities as well as getting up and down from the floor with ease and easing issues in the low back.

Thoracic mobility can become compromised due to high stress, prolonged sitting or poor breathing mechanics which can lead to issues with the neck and shoulders and even the low back.

Here’s a yummy little sequence I created for class last week.

Give it a go and if you like it check out the full class.

Drop a comment below with your favourite hip or thoracic movement.
