The Woven Grain

It’s this bitter sweet dance I have with my Yoga mat these days. I desperately crave to be there, but when I get that moment to practice… to return to a class as the student … I hear whispers of the sound of heartbreak.

My Yoga mat is such a familiar place and it’s seen me through many seasons… the ones when I stood tall like the Warrior, the ones when I fell like the Child, the days I felt joy like the Dancer and the journey that led me to settle into the Goddess. And when I return here… I feel so much at home and yet… so far from the girl that was.

I walk that line on my mat… hesitantly interweaving that girl with the woman that became the Mumma. And it’s a hard line to walk. To feel the freedom of indulging in self growth, while you stand on the other side of the line… thick in the season of Surrender. Deep in the days of pouring myself into the growth of another. And when I leave the mat, I feel sad to leave her there. That strong and sure girl, moving with connection to body, mind, spirit.

And only recently, after many sessions of walking away and feeling like that girl remained back there on my mat… it dawned on me that I’ve never left her there once. I feel her return to me strongest in that calm space that is my practice… but I am sure now that she has always stayed there within me. Without me even really knowing. Quietly but certainly… guiding my breath and my thoughts. Speaking strength on those low days… bringing presence to those rushed days, allowing release through the tense moments. Because this is what my Yoga practice has taught me.

She is not the girl of before… she is the woman of right now. And she is the reason I move through this season of surrender with a gentle sigh of the breath, with a slow release of the shoulders and a moment to flutter my eyelids down and know that the journey continues.

The seasons will roll.

I will rise and fall over and over… just as I did before.

Because I am still that girl.

Except now, I am her and more.

Join us and be part of the change to turn inward and take responsibility for your own state of mind and what it feels like when you move!

Hi Community

Not long ago I was discussing with my original regular yogi how we have watched this tree at Thompsons Beach change with the seasons. And how besutiful it has been in each season. And how special it is to practice our Yoga in an outdoor studio.

Now it’s my turn to change with the seasons.

It saddens me to announce that our Wednesday yoga at Victoria Point will be cancelled for the time being. I have had to navigate changes to my schedule this year and unfortunately it means I am no longer available on Wednesday and without baby sitting options on the other days. The Victoria Point session only had small numbers attending and since these people are all regular yogis now, they have shifted over to join our Mount Cotton community. So if you would like to join us, we are still meeting weekly in a gentle flow.

Any changes to this plan will be communicated via the socials… so stay tuned. I would love to be back by the sea side some day if the opportunity presents!

Biggest gratitude to my regular supporters of this session. Thank you for your understanding and your commitment to continue your practice through this new season.

Updates for this week -

This weeks yoga won’t be on due to excessive ground water. Enjoy the rain … enjoy some rest. See you next week!!

Just a reminder that there’s no outdoor yoga with The Woven Grain on this week. We’ll start up again after the New Years period!

Stay tuned! Stay balanced!

No yoga this afternoon at Mount Cotton. Mother Nature has spoke. 🌧️

My journey into my online business began when I felt more drawn to learning about the health of our Earth and how that connected to the health of our own bodies. I wanted a space where I could encourage people to learn more and where I could empower them to better their health and that of their families.

My intention is to walk alongside anyone who is unsure of exactly where our food comes from, or is questioning how it is produced. I want them to feel empowered to make choices that will help their nutrition and make small changes that will have big impact on their health and their lifestyle.

I believe that ultimately we always pay. We pay now for quality and pure products or we pay later with the health of our planet and the health of our bodies. I want people to know in their hearts that paying now for quality products, as prevention, is a better option than trying to repair damage done to ourselves or our land.

I believe there is a place in everyone’s life for whole food nutritional support, and I believe that this company can provide that while partnering it with genuine community and support. That’s why I also believe that this business model can work for so many people in so many different situations… Bringing them financial freedom, without locking them down to a set location or set hours of operation.

I have felt this in my own life, and have seen it in the life of those who work in the same team as me. True cellular changes within our bodies, true attitude changes within our minds and true financial changes within our bank account. If any of this is a goal of yours as you head into a New Year, Please reach out. Let’s chat about what really matters to you.

Change can only happen if you allow the space for movement. Stagnant designs will never give you new patterns.

I want to share something with you guys.

Unapologetically. Because I am thankful for this opportunity. And the more stories I hear about how this side hustle/profession changes lives, the more sure I am that I am in a good place!!

I had my reservations early on. I cringed a bit at the thought of having to use social media as a work place. And I was hesitant to enter into an industry that I would have to defend because people don’t know what it is, how it works or have misconstrued ideas about it.

But here’s the secret to getting past that. In Network Marketing and in life!!!

No matter what people think… No matter what they say… I’m still just over here getting paid to impact peoples health and lives in a positive way. Peoples opinions of me have very rarely concerned me… but I feel even less concerned when I know a child is getting free nutritional support because I’ve partnered with a company that puts their money where their mouth is. I feel less concerned about peoples judgement of me when I see women make bold choices to step outside of their comfort zone and take inspired action to do more for their family and for themselves. It just doesn’t bother me what people think about what I’m doing when I see people make choices to better their health. And all the while… I’m getting paid. And being surrounded by people who cheer me on, keep me accountable and help me hit targets.

I’m proud to be involved with a company that actually does what I’ve heard big corporates talk about for years on end.

If you’re curious about NWM as a modern business model and would like to think this opportunity may bring big changes to your life too… send me a message for a casual chat. You won’t get rich quick because it isn’t a scheme… and I won’t make money off “recruiting” you. But it may change your life. And I’m totally here for that… because I won’t care what other people think about you while you watch that extra income drop into your bank account either.

Who’s planning to finish 2023 the way they want to start 2024? I’ve never been one for drawing lines in the sand. If it seems right for my life and good for my health… I’m a “begin now” kind of girl.

Anyone else like that? Anyone been meaning to come to seaside yoga at Thompsons Beach and haven’t yet made that jump. Now’s the time … your body doesn’t know what month it is. Your brain does… but that’s probably all the more reason to start yoga in December and not wait for the calendar to flick over.

Come join us and have some fun 😉

Sorry VP Yogis. The only downside to an outdoor studio. Not that anyone would be complaining about rain right now!!

Still hoping for Thursday Yoga 🤞🏼 stay tuned.

The sickness finally got me!! And it’s not something I want to share with anyone!! So giving my body some time to recover. In hibernation. Appreciate your understanding. Hope to see you all out next week on our mats together to flow in our beautiful outdoor studio!

VICTORIA POINT YOGIS ….

Due to my babysitter’s injury (My mum who is nursing some broken ribs) the Wednesday morning session is being put on hold while she heals (as I don’t have a back up option for a baby sitter during this time slot). Apologies for anyone who was planning on venturing out to join us.

My regular Wednesday crew are going to be joining with the Thursday afternoon session at Mount Cotton for a few weeks, so we’d love to have anyone else wanting to step outside into the spring sunshine to join us there! Details for the session in the comments.

Keep an eye on the socials for updates on this.

Appreciate your understanding on this. 🪷

This week has a spanner thrown into it. My babysitter for the sessions has broken a couple of ribs (that’s my mum ☹️). And considering I have multiple of my regular yogis away on holidays … I may consider cancelling both sessions. At this stage … WEDNESDAY AT VICTORIA POINT WILL BE CANCELLED due to that time slot being harder for my husband to step in to be with our baby.

Watch the socials for updates on Thursday.

But until then… roll out your mat and find a moment to sit in your favourite posture. You always have the power to find your calm. 🧘🏽‍♀️

Appreciate your understanding for this weeks changing circumstances.

Mount Cotton Community …. Join us this afternoon at 4pm for a gentle yoga flow to immerse yourself in nature and nourish your body and mind.

Join us tomorrow morning for a gentle session in the sunshine with water views.

$10 for the first 4 sessions… and the 5th one is free.

Step out into a community of beautiful souls seeking to grow and flow.

Victoria Point Yoga Session - cancelled this week (9/8/23) as I will be attending a funeral. Apologies for any inconvenience this causes.

At this stage - still on this afternoon. But if the weather looks dodgy, look for an update on the socials!!

U P D A T E - R A B Y B A Y Y O G A

I’ve taken a few things into consideration and have decided to cancel these sessions for now. I may be able to reassess it as the seasons change, but with limited interest from the community and limited day light hours to make changes to the time slot on offer, this will have to be the path taken for now.

Deepest apologies to anyone who had thought of coming in the future.

The Victoria Point session with continue on Wednesday morning at 9.30am and the Mount Cotton session on Thursday afternoon at 4pm. We would love anyone who is interested to join us at those practices.

On Soon… will you join the community?

Attention all local Yogis.

I’ll be away for a week so some classes will be cancelled. Please see below. And we’ll reunite on the mat soon!

YOGA AT RABY BAY WILL NOT BE ON FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS (JULY 18th and 25th) due to other commitments. Apologies to anyone who may have thought about attending either session. Check the socials for other session options for the next two weeks to see if another location may work with your schedule. We’d love to have you join us if they do.

A decision will be made soon about whether the Raby Bay session will continue due to lack of interest from the community at this location. Which is such a shame because it’s a beautiful water front location to enjoy our warm winter days. Stay posted for an update on this.
