Tassie Trip 2026

I don’t holiday much.  The last time I was on a plane was to visit my youngest sister in Karratha (could she move any further away from Melbourne?!) four years ago after Covid lockdowns messed us all up and my marriage was in the toilet. 🚽  So, when my mad-keen footy friend Fleur (you may know her from Friday morning yoga class in Oakleigh) announced that she could get member tickets for the Richmond Tigers game in Hobart, we decided to turn it into a girl weekend away that we both desperately needed.

Main points I took from this trip:

• Small planes landing on short runways are not fun 🤢

• You can walk Launceston city in 1 hour

• Hoons on Friday nights rival those on Wellington Road near my house

• My new puffer jacket is water resistant

• Don’t trust directions from locals to find the Harvest Market

• The food (and spirits) in Tassie is divine

• People say the strangest things while waiting in queues (for the ferry)

• Sitting 3 rows back from the fence at the footy was worth the wait

• Hobart’s streetscape for Dark Mofo was breathtaking

• I can make new friends in my late 40s

• Driving the main highway in the dark for 2.5 hours is terrifying

• Peacocks like to hang out with you at Cataract Gorge

• 4 days is long enough and short enough to have a first holiday with a friend

• I could see my house from the plane on the way home

• I wanna come back to Tassie, bring my kids, and explore so much more!

Thank you Fleur, you made it all the more special for being your amazing self, and our friendship bonds got tight!  This was just what I needed.  It helped settle and revive me for the next big thing the following weekend… 

“Unity In Motion”
a FREE Community Event for International Yoga Day

This was an ambitious project for me, my first ever full-day yoga event, and I’m so pleased with the turn-out on the day.  Naomi from Amrita Yoga, and I taught yoga to 40 people across the day!  Most were new faces to us, and it was a joy to connect with and speak to many people after their session (many stayed for several of them, some for the whole day), and I have already welcomed new students into my weekly classes. 🧘‍♀️😊

“Unity in Motion” was the brainchild of Somi from MindSHIFT Australia.  I am so grateful to Somi for her vision, dedication, and tireless commitment to ensuring our inaugural partnership event ran smoothly and created lasting impact to those whom we served on the day. Special mention to Bhuvi from Herbal Whisperer for her support and sponsorship, and for our wonderful family members, Nirmal, Siddharth and Hamilton, who volunteered their whole Sunday to help with set up, attendee registration, customer relations, cleaning protocols, pack up, and all the random ad-hoc tasks that popped up throughout the day so that Naomi and I could concentrate on delivering beautifully curated and memorable yoga sessions.

I learned so much from this experience!  Gaining understanding of how people want to support their health.  Creating stronger bonds and trust in the people I worked and collaborated with.  Giving myself permission to express vulnerability and to model to others how they could honour their own needs from one moment to the next, to feel more deeply authentic and connected.  Thank you, all of you, for your participation and support.  I am deeply grateful. 🙏😍

So… What’s Next?

Why not commit to a regular yoga routine?  Even one session every week can help you feel more connected to yourself and to others.  It gives you dedicated time and space to move your body with care and intention under the instruction of an experienced teacher.  Coming to class regularly creates “collective effervescence” (look it up, it’s a thing!), the energy that is generated and felt when having an experience (think concerts, dancing, yoga, being live at a sporting event) in community with other souls who have similar values and interests to your own.  Your yoga becomes your meditation practice to help channel your thoughts, to experience flow state, and expand your window of tolerance.  It helps you evolve into a more deeply aware version of you.

If you’re keen to practice with me, I have a few options for you!

Space has opened up in my calendar for bespoke 1:1 Private Yoga Tuition. This is where I come to you and we work together on your goals in the privacy of your home. It’s a great option if you’re nursing an injury, recovering from surgery, if you require disability, neuro-affirming, or mental health accommodations, or want to go deeper into a stronger physical and/or spiritual practice that may not be appropriate or achievable in a group setting. Please reach out to give me a little background into you and what you wish to achieve from practicing yoga. Have a one-off session or book a regular practice time with no lock-in contracts. Private yoga tuition and travel fees apply.
