If you’re new here, hi. I’m Malaika 🩷.

I’m a yoga teacher, a mother, a wife, a safe space holder, a woman who lives on a dairy farm in the Drakensberg and the woman behind The Nomadic Oasis | Wellness Experiences South Africa .

I created this space because I believe women need places to come back to themselves; to soften into everything they know they are here to be.

Not spaces to become better, more productive or more perfect.

Spaces to rest and become curious.
To move.
To create.
To be curious.
To sit in circle.
To laugh with other women.
To remember how it feels to be ALIVE.
To be witnessed.
To remember who they are underneath all the roles they carry.

Here you’ll find yoga, women’s circles, retreats, womb work, creative experiences, slow living, farm life and lots of conversations about what it means to feel truly alive in the life you’re already living.

If you’re craving more connection, more presence and a little more joy, you are in the right place ❣️.

Welcome home.
Here, we choose joy over perfection always.

❤️

Maybe you don’t actually want to escape your life.

Maybe you love your life. Your children. Your home. The land. The people you’ve built it with.

But somewhere along the way, you became very good at being everything everyone else needed.

And somewhere in amongst the doing, holding, organising, mothering, working and giving… you started to miss yourself.

Not because you need a completely different life. But because you need moments within this life that belong to you.

A morning where nobody needs anything from you.
A space where you can put down the roles you carry.
Women who see you, hear you and remind you that you’re not alone. A place where you can breathe deeply enough to hear yourself again.

I think this is what we’re really longing for when we say we need to “get away.”

Not necessarily an escape.

A return.

A return to your body.
To connection.
To joy.
To the parts of yourself that have been quietly waiting for your attention.

That’s what I want to create here.

Not another polished wellness experience where you come home with beautiful photographs and a full camera roll.

But something real.

A place to sit in circle.
To move your body.
To make something with your hands.
To eat good food.
To laugh with women.
To be witnessed.
To remember that you are a woman outside of all the roles you hold.

A place to come home to yourself while still loving the life you’ve built.

If this is something you’ve been quietly craving, I hope you’ll find your way here.

❤️❤️❤️

I was lucky enough to train as a prenatal yoga teacher with Womben Wellness and as a doula with Mama Bamba Birth Hub.

And yet, when I was pregnant, I still found myself craving something I couldn’t quite find… A space to be held and witnessed by other women. A space to share the experience of pregnancy with other women who got it.

Because sometimes, what we need most isn’t more information. It’s a village. That is why I’m bringing the village to life online ❤️.

Online Prenatal Yoga Village -

For women who are pregnant (or on a fertility journey) and longing to feel more connected to their bodies, their babies and themselves.

These aren’t just online yoga classes. They are intimate, sacred gatherings where we move, breathe, learn and connect together.

There will be empowering information to help you understand and trust your changing body, deeply nourishing movement to connect you with your growing baby and most importantly, a space where you can be seen, heard and held by other women walking a similar path.

It’s the most vulnerable and expansive and empowering tjme in a woman’s life and I really believe that every woman deserves to be held and loved and supported through it.

A little village of love, wherever you are in the world.

All classes are held live via Zoom and can be joined from anywhere in the world ❣️

If you’re pregnant (or on a fertility journey) and looking for your village, pop a heart below ❤️ and I’ll send you more info.

These creative workshops are inspired by one of my all-time favourite life mottos - joy over perfection. ✨

They’re about being in the moment, letting go of the outcome and creating simply for the joy of creating (not for the perfectly finished piece of art).

And the most incredible thing? Every single artwork created at these workshops feels and looks like joy. They’re vibrant, unique and completely their own.

I love hosting these workshops out in nature. So many of the women who arrive are quietly worried that they won’t be able to make something beautiful. That they’re ‘not creative enough’. And every time, they surprise themselves. 😍

I love not knowing what will unfold. I love not controlling the outcome. And I love the anticipation of seeing what each woman creates.

Creating helps us come back to who we truly are.

These workshops remind me that when we stop trying to make something perfect, we make something that feels a whole lot more like us. ❤️

I’m hosting my next creative workshop on Sat 12 September 2026 🩷

Come create something magical with us.

Before I fell in love with farm life…

Before the sourdough, the vegetable gardens, the cows and the slow living, I spent years holding transformational spaces for women.

I facilitated trainings, retreats and circles, teaching women how to hold space for other women.

When I say “hold space,” I don’t mean giving advice or fixing people.

I mean creating a space that feels so safe that a woman can begin to meet herself honestly.  A place where she can notice the fears she’s carrying, question the beliefs she’s been living by, reconnect with her body and hear her own voice again.

Because when we stop running from ourselves, we get to feel and remember who we are, our strength, our softness, our wholeness and what we came here for.

For a while, that part of my life became a quieter as I navigated my own personal initiations into motherhood and rooting myself in my new home.

Lately, though I’ve felt something stirring.  A quiet but persistent call to return to this work. Allowing this space - The Nomadic Oasis - to be where my two loves collide. It’s where I get to bring together the magnificence of slow-living and the magic of journeying into the feminine body and psyche.

I’m opening a monthly women’s membership (called Womb Work Membership).

A place where we’ll gather in circle, journey back into our body and psyches (and explore the fullness of the feminine psyche).

A place where we’ll practise seeing and being seen.

Hearing and being heard.

Holding and being held.

Because these aren’t luxuries.

They’re deep human needs.

And as we learn to offer them to one another, we slowly learn to offer them to ourselves.

Circle has been one of the most powerful paths I’ve known back to self-acceptance.

Back to our voice.

Back to our power.

And I think it’s time to come home to it again.

If you’ve been feeling that same quiet call… I’d love to welcome you.

My membership will be launching soon ❤️ if you’d like to sign up already, please send me a message.

Out of my mind and exactly where I want to be ❤️.

Playing, feeling, working, cooking, breathing, creating, living, loving.

Are you out of your mind? 😘

I don’t think losing ourselves in motherhood is a problem.

I think it’s designed to be that way.

I think we’re meant to lose the parts of ourselves that were never really ours to begin with - we’re meant to lose large parts of how we’ve been conditioned to think, to behave, to show up, to keep the peace, to stay small.

I think we’re meant to have those things challenged. We’re meant to have some of those things fall away.

The problem isn’t that we lose ourselves.

It’s that we stay lost.

We stay lost because we forget how to come back to ourselves.

How to rediscover ourselves.

How to authentically embody new versions of ourselves.

And a large part of that… is because we don’t have vulnerability between and amongst women anymore. This general feeling of “it’s safe for me to share and be honest”.

We’re still stuck in loops of comparison.

Judging ourselves. Judging others.

Shaming ourselves. Shaming others.

Not because we want to. But because we’ve forgotten about this gift of humanness - of what it means to be a living, breathing, feeling human. Of sisterhood.

We need to sit in circle with each other. To share honestly with each other.

We need to be seen and to see each other.

We need to hear and to be heard.

We need to hold and be held.

We have to mother each other.

The world needs to be mothered… ❤️

We stay lost because we’ve forgotten how to mother ourselves.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on what this transition into motherhood has really been teaching me.

Not the practical things.

The quieter things.

The things that change the landscape of your inner world.

The things I couldn’t have learnt any other way.

Motherhood has changed the way I think about myself, my self-worth, creativity, friendship, courage and even success.

I used to think becoming more of myself meant doing more, achieving more, finding more.

Now I’m beginning to think it’s the opposite.

The more I return to the things that make me feel deeply alive - creating, connecting with other women, homemaking, moving my body, being in nature, sitting around a table with other women, allowing myself to be held as I hold my daughter - the more like myself I become.

I’m learning that I don’t become more of myself by doing more.

I become more myself by returning to the things that make me feel alive.

I don’t have all the answers.

These are simply the reflections that have found me along the way.
