Pink Pomelo Yoga

Always Papa’s girl. Thank you for giving me your explorer spirit and a piece of your brave heart. I thought the pain would subside, but on this day it still hurts as if it was yesterday. 14 years without you, Ich vermisse dich Papa 💔

🌑Happy new moon in Pisces ♓️ As Pisces operates from a place of intuition rather than logic, it feels before it thinks, it imagines before it analyzes, receives rather than reacts. This is the same modality we adopt when the lights go out and we must rely on sense rather than sight.

Trust the process, go through the darkness knowing that there will always be light at the end. ☀️

☁️ ☀️ ✌️ When dark clouds fill your skies,
hiding sunshine from your eyes.
Stand up tall and find the light,
within yourself and shine so bright.

Hello! 👋 Let me re-introduce myself. I am Andrea. I make people feel good by reminding them how to reconnect with their body, mind and soul, through yoga, Pilates, meditation and conversations. I sometimes challenge the way people think. Some people like what I have to say, and some people don’t. 😄

I have been going through my own healing journey after becoming a mother, suffering from post-partum depression and separating from my life partner of 14 years. Life is full of surprises and will continue to surprise us.

I‘m a proud scorpio ♏️ mama to a 3-year old scorpio boy. We are fierce, strong, passionate and together we can achieve anything we want 💜

I love the beach, good food and deep conversations with „real“ people. I can sense your energy very quickly and you will mine too ☺️

Fun fact about me: I speak German. 🇩🇪 It’s one of my mother tongues. I’m European, Asian and Australian. I‘m all three and I am lucky to be all of these. ❤️

If you have been following my journey and we haven’t met before, I‘d love to meet you. The next opportunity is on Sunday 5th November in Brisbane. Let’s do yoga together, meditate, eat and drink and just have fun together.

Sending love your way ❤️❤️❤️

Andrea

Life is always better at the beach🏖️ . Spending quality time with my little man is so important. These days are reserved for making beautiful memories ❤️

How are you spending your time with your little ones?

My first big achievement after becoming a solo parent: I bought my own car 🚗 !!! It’s not big, nor super modern but it is mine 🥰

Today, Joshi and I went on our first road trip together in our new ride. We visited our dearest friends on the Sunshine Coast and had heaps of fun.

When you feel alone, remember you are not!!! You have amazing friends who always got your back no matter what.

And that is also how I got my car, through the help of my dear friends who truly care about me and my son 🥰🥰🥰

We are forever grateful 💗🫶

Life update (aka my affirmation of the week): ✨I am inspired to do better ✨

In the last few weeks/days I have met/connected with people who have inspired me, who have reminded me of the good things in life and they gave me hope. ✨
✨ Inspired me to be the a better version of myself and to persue my passions (teach more yoga & Pilates, organise more events, continue to study, sing 😄)
✨ Reminded me that not everything is lost, although it felt that way and hurt so badly
✨ Gave me hope that life as a single mum doesn’t mean that there is no bright future ahead of me

It starts with acceptance and letting go. And it feels so good. If you’ve been in a deep hole just like me, it’s time to rise. We can do this!!! 💪

This is my most recent photo. There are many things I hated about myself and my body since becoming a mum and since being left by my husband. I lost all my self-esteem. But now, I finally feel beautiful again. I finally feel strong again. I feel hope again. I am inspired to do better ✨

To those people who have played a part in my significant transformation: thank you and I love you ❤️

“Only the phoenix rises and does not descend. And everything changes. And nothing is truly lost. From the ashes, a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring.” 🔥

It’s time, for me to rise from the ashes. It’s time to focus on myself and my one and only true love - my son.

Reminiscing our life in Thailand 🇹🇭

One of my very first pics as a certified Pilates instructor. Did you know that Pilates was my first area of expertise when I started teaching back in 2017? Barre came next, then reformer Pilates and lastly yoga.

If you have missed my popular mat Pilates classes, you‘re lucky because I am teaching again! Mondays 9:00am at

I think the class if fully booked now, but you can still get on the waitlist! See you 🤩

Perspective
1 : the angle or direction in which a person looks at an object. 2 : point of view. 3 : the ability to understand what is important and what isn't (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

Our personal beliefs and life experience influence our perspective on things. Someone’s trash is anothers treasure. Someone’s happiness is another’s sorrow. Someone‘s pleasure is another one‘s pain. Somone‘s loss is another‘s profit.

Have you always been that person who’d see things differently? Was your life growing up very different to the ones of your peers? Maybe it’s time to share your story. It’s time to let your true self shine. Agree?

What props to use when attending a yoga nidra session 😴

Our studio@one_body_studio will provide you with mats, some blankets and bolsters. To make your yogic sleep experience as comfortable as possible, we do recommend bringing the following:

✨ Eye pillow: This amazing little prop as seen on the image above helps stimulate the vagus nerve which promotes a deeper relaxation
✨ Eyemask: Helps block out any light that may disturb you
✨ Comfortable clothing: Bring a jumper and wear socks. Yoga nidra lowers your core body temperature, be sure to have enough layers on.
✨ Towel: For hygienic reasons, you can place this on your mat or use as a blanket if you get cold.

See you on Sunday! 😃

Meet Peggy , our sound therapist on Sunday July 24th ✨

Peggy has been a Sound Healing practitioner for over 4 years using Vibrational Therapy Bowls from Nepal.
After introducing sound baths at the end of her yoga classes using her treatment bowls, she was called to learn the way of the gongs and offer longer, deeper Sound healing meditations.
The two large handmade gongs she uses in her events are unique and powerful. They will help your nervous system drop in a parasympathetic state and their vibrations will help move the energy through your body all
the way to and through your cells.

Peggy plays the gongs intuitively and will take you on deep meditative and restorative journey.

See you on Sunday!

Yoga nidra and gong sound bath when you are trying to conceive 👶🏽 Does it help?

Thanks for all your messages which inspired me to share with you my personal experience with using different relaxation techniques that helped me get pregnant 🤰🏽

Are you considering to have a baby soon? The truth is, trying for a baby can be very stressful. Even more so when after all your preparation you end up getting a negative test result each month. It’s heart breaking and many are on the verge of giving up.

When hubby and I decided to get pregnant, we started with the “planned step-by-step” version. Taking ovulation tests, eating healthier, taking our supplements, entering data into our calendars, making sure to “try” at the right time, etc, etc. Tbh, it wasn’t fun. Then we went on a holiday to Thailand, we told ourselves to not think about getting pregnant and just have a fun time. 🎉
In Chiang Mai, a beautiful little town in the north of Thailand, we indulged in delicious local foods, explored the beautiful areas, practised yoga daily and attended various meditation sessions together. One of the sessions was a gong sound bath by Khun Veerayuth. It was so mesmerizing and we both where in a state of bliss at some point - even after the session. We were happy, healthy and relaxed. A few weeks later, after our arrival back in Australia, I took a pregnancy test and hello 👋 Baby J was already in my belly 🥰
There are many factors that influence a pregnancy. Being healthy, happy and relaxed certainly help. 💕

If you need relaxation in your life right now, then join our yoga nidra & gong sound bath on the 24th of July with at . Book your ticket now via the booking link is in our bio.

Have you ever experienced the powerful vibrations of a gong sound bath? How does it work and what are the benefits?

The Gongs are powerful instruments which allow your body to draw what it needs from them and get the energy moving through!
Their Vibrations work with the Subtle Energetic body and can help ground body and mind, find clarity, detoxify the body, improve sleep quality, the list goes on... The effects are often subtle and can last for several days after the experience.

Join myself and Peggy from Yoga Vibrations for a healing and rejuvenating yiga midra & gong sound bath practice on July 24th at One Body Studio .
