Happy new year to all my gorgeous students! I hope the Christmas break was fabulous and full of love, connection and good food! We are back on the mats Mon 13/1/25. And the best part of holidays for me are doing totally different things, connecting with people I love, and going to remote and rugged places to pursue all my fun sports.
And of course I used all this unstructured time to read profound, funky books on yoga, transformation, spirituality, awakening potential, sound – you name it. There is this amazing 2nd hand bookstore at Lakes Entrance, Central NSW and I shopped up a storm! Transformation on a personal level is a huge part of my yoga, breathwork and coaching offerings and indeed awakening to our ultimate potential is one of the cornerstones of what we will be pursuing on Yoga Retreat in March, Feel to Heal (21 – 23/3/25) at Springbrook. And what a perfect year to commit to change and growth in your world. Every astrologer on the internet is talking about the unique cosmic alignments in 2025, which give all of us unique opportunities for manifestation and change. So seize this chance and join us, I still have a few places left!
So why am I so invested in helping people change and realise their full potential? Because the world needs it. We all need it. We need a world of fully realised mature, intelligent humans. If you look at the past 4 years of the global madness, brainwashing, bullying and trauma inflicted on every person from every nation in the world, and you were able to step back and view this chaos with open, unbiased, compassionate eyes, you will realise that something must change. And if all the democratic instruments we used to believe in are now proved faulty, how on earth can anything change? Through you.
It’s a big ask, committing to change. When you commit to change and transformation using the processes of self-insight, feelings, silence, forgiveness, honesty and love, you stop giving away your personal power to others who you think know better and take it back. It’s like you transition from child to adult and take back your power from people you allowed to influence and steer the course of your decisions, life choices and future. A fully realised person does not give away their power and is always on a lifetime path of growth and change and self-discovery.
And the knock-on effect of you changing is that you give others permission to change as well, especially those closest to you. As you change you will break the well-worn habits of co- dependency, ignorance, and replaying ancestral patterns and those around you (who might resist initially and kick up a fuss as most people find change threatening) will be inspired and perhaps liberated by your journey forward. Like the 4-minute mile Roger Bannister broke in 1954. Athletes had been trying to break this record since 1886. This athletic goal had become as much a psychological barrier as a physical one. And yet once it was shattered, in just 46 days of Bannister’s feat, another runner broke the barrier again and a year later 3 runners broke the 4-minute barrier in a single race. Your personal growth and transformation will shatter old paradigms and life patterns and ripple out into the universe. And of course, all my yoga retreats are FUN! We can’t do all this heavy stuff without a tonne of laughter, some crazy shaking, divine food and amazing company. 2025 is looking good!
