Simple rules to live by. We are creative beings by nature and within you are whole worlds waiting to be created by only you.

These boots were made for walking…and that’s just what they did! A whole 82 kilometres of hectic terrain across 33 hours of walking in the Namibian desert.

I will still be sharing more of our epic adventure hiking the Fish River Canyon. While my mind is still in the mountains, just a quick one to let you know I’m back (and you don’t have to send a search party) and classes are back to normal.

Also, I already have two events lined up for August and would love to have you there!
Rest in Resonance: Yin + Sound Bath (Sun, 23 Aug)
Be the Calm: Surf + Yoga Morning Retreat (Sat, 29 Aug)

Mary Oliver pretty much summed it up in these twelve words...

Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.

Private sessions are where I get to actually solve for you.
Not guess. Not fit you into a format. Actually see what your body’s doing, figure out what it needs, and build a practice around that.

Some days that looks like strength. Some days it’s about undoing where all the tension accummulates. Some days it’s a bit of both.

You get a practice that changes because you change.

Message me to chat more about personalising your practice.

Marcus Aurelius, one of the most famous Stoic philosophers, asked himself every morning: “Was I created for this, to huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”

“So you were born to feel ‘nice’? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can?”

I’m just going to call it out - suddenly everyone is in full on hibernation. You’re getting lazy and too relaxed.

Yoga teaches us discomfort isn’t the enemy. Finding ease within the discomfort - that’s where you actually feel alive.

Right now you’re all in this cozy bubble. But there’s a real life happening outside. Early yoga practice. Sunrise. A fresh dip or surf in the ocean. And this all can happen before you start your work day. Win the morning and you win the day.

You’re trading actual aliveness for comfort. And I’ll be the one to call that out 🙋‍♀️

Wake up. Get out of bed. There is a life to live.

Excited to bring you these beautiful collaborations with two incredible people -

BE THE CALM: an ocean-side morning retreat with arguably the best surf coach I have met and who got me so confident in surfing in just a short few months, Tash

If you ever wanted to try surfing (or yoga) this is the event for you. Beautiful sunrise over the ocean, mindful movement and trying something new for the first time.

Sat, 25 Jul 6-11am

REST IN RESONANCE: dissolve into stillness with pure yin bliss expertly held by , into a crystal quartz sound bath, to tune you back into your natural resonance.
