I started filming online yoga classes in 2020, when COVID lockdowns were in full swing.

And after everything opened up again, I decided to keep going!

I’ve had a little pause from filming because we moved house and we downsized a lot.. and I couldn’t find a good nook of my house to film in.

But at the weekend, my daughter and I had a huge spring clean of the house and rearranged the furniture and now I have a perfect little nook again to film classes again.

Today I filmed a 45 minute Lunar Flow (similar to the Full Moon practice we did at the beach this morning!)

I will be uploading it to the Hartig yoga online portal (on our website) in the next day or too, and plan to film another practice on Friday too.

Members, sorry for the delay for new content.. but know that it’s incoming now!

Is there anything that you would like to see in this space?

I’m so happy that I’ve found a new space to film 😊😊

Im feeling that it’s time for a fresh 20 is plenty yoga challenge too.. who’s keen?

It’s time for a REST again!

Deeply relax and reset your nervous system with and at August’s Rest Club in Palm Cove.

Rest Club is an opportunity for you to pause and reset. To deeply relax, unwind and reconnect to yourself again.

This is why we have created Rest Club! So that you can book yourself in for some much needed rest.

In this 2 hour session, Beth will share yoga practices to help calm the nervous system (Restorative and Yin Yoga postures- all floor based with props- beginner friendly) and Oden will finish with a 1 hour sound journey, whilst you relax into a Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep).

The practices will be suitable for all levels, even complete beginners.

The sound healing is a transcendental journey performed using guitar, vocals, throat singing, traditional flute, Tibetan bowls, medicine drum, Djembe and a gong.

Be prepared to feel incredibly blissed out!

The practices will be suitable for all levels, so everybody is welcome. You don’t need to have any prior yoga or sound healing experience - many people come trying these things out for the very first time! (And leave feeling very relaxed!)

Cairns Pilates Barre - Bootybarre & Pilates Classes Cairns Northern Beaches

Literally NOTHING in nature blooms all year.. everything must have a period of inactivity, rest and recuperation.

As we move into Winter in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s so important to take that extra time for rest and turning inwards.

Having your cup of tea in bed and enjoying resting a little longer in the morning.

Taking time for Yin and Restorative Yoga practices to soothe the nervous system.

Putting yourself to bed earlier.

Warm baths 🌙

It can be confusing being in Far North Queensland though.. the weather is still so warm and it’s the perfect time to get out and about and do the things that you can’t do when it’s so hot! But, it’s important that we take the time to slow down and follow the patterns of the seasons.

When we take the proper time to rest in winter, we can emerge refreshed in spring with new energy and enthusiasm.

Nothing in nature blooms all year, and you don’t need to either ❤️

Rest well friends 🙏

And northern hemisphere friends- enjoy the boundless energy of the summer!

Love,

Beth

What people are saying-

"I recently attended a Yoga and Nature retreat organised by Beth. Overall the retreat was amazing and I left feeling deeply nourished, well balanced and energised. Her yoga classes were just right for the time of day and the way she guided the practice was very professional and her knowledge really shined through over the 2 days. I look forward to the next retreat and I highly recommend her classes. 🙏🏻"

"Thank you Beth for a fabulous retreat at Sacred Waters , the yoga was wonderful, the food devine and the location great 👍"

"I've been lucky enough to participate in two wonderful retreats by Hartig Yoga. We were treated to Cacao, dance and sound healing as well as excellent yoga and meditation sessions. I came back calm, refreshed and full of self love. Definitely worth nourishing your soul with any of Beth's offerings"

What if being “spiritual” was just being more compassionate?

What if being “spiritual” was just being more open hearted and kind to others, and less judgemental.

What if being “spiritual” wasn’t so much about what you do on your mat space, but was more about how you show up in your life?

What if being “spiritual” was just being really authentic?

What if being “spiritual” is actually just who we are without all of the fluff?

And new age spirituality has heaps of fluff these days (and to be honest it sometimes makes me cringe)

But it doesn’t have to..

I would love to know your thoughts about this in the comments 👇🙏❤️

It’s hard to put into words how magical our retreat was over the weekend..

A group of people that are from all walks of life, in all stages of life, came together as one.

We laughed together, we cried together, we relaxed together, we practice yoga together, we ate together and most importantly, we held space together.

It never fails to amaze me what can happen in the retreat container..

My heart is overflowing ❤️ THANK YOU for coming beautiful people.

ONE SPOT LEFT for our Bali retreat next month!

Visit the link below to find out more, or click the link in our BIO ❤️🙏

https://hartigyoga.com/bali-yoga-retreat/

In December 2023 I went on a trip to Bali to try and find the best venue for future Yoga retreats.. and I found one!

We have ONE LAST SPOT available at our June Bali Retreat in Nusa Lembongan, Bali!

Want to know what it's all about?

Read our blog post below to find out..

Yoga Retreat in Nusa Lembongan Join Hartig Yoga for a blissful 6 night yoga retreat in Nusa Lembongan, Bali. Relax and unwind with Yogic practices in Tropical paradise.

Before I started practicing yoga, I didn’t have any way to self-regulate..

When I felt stressed or overwhelmed I would party as a way to find relief from what I was feeling.

But usually the next day I wouldn’t feel any better for it. It was just a band aid. In fact, I would feel a lot worse.

I started practicing Ashtanga Yoga initially, in my early 20’s. My friend introduced me to the practice and took me to a studio in Bristol, UK that offered Mysore style classes (self- practice Ashtanga).

I found it so hard and I was sooo stiff and awkward, but it was something about the energy of the teachers and the space that kept me coming back.

I loved that the was a set sequence that I could practice at home. I would practice most days for 1-2 hours when I first got into yoga. I had the sequence written down on a piece of paper and moved through it on my bedroom floor. I didn’t even have a yoga mat.

And it was quite amazing what happened after that..

I stopped drinking alcohol. I didn’t want to be hangover and miss my yoga practice!

I stopped smoking. I noticed that it stopped me from being able to breathe properly in my yoga practice.

I started eating healthier foods..

Everything that wasn’t serving me just seemed to drop away.

I had replaced my old ways to self-regulate with something that felt a whole lot better.

The high that I felt from my yoga practice was much more potent and long lasting than any high I felt from partying. And it didn’t come with a huge low afterwards.

I just wanted to share this story with you as a reminder that there are amazing ways to deal with the hardships that we face in life. There are practices that YOU can learn that will help you, just as they have helped me.

I hope to see you on the mat soon! X
