We place so much emphasis on what is outside. How we look, what we are wearing and what the scales say. But we only ever see a reflection of ourselves. If we don't know where to look for it, we often miss our true beauty. I had a conversation with a few women the other [...]
Our bodies require so very little of us to keep functioning, not compared to what it gives. To keep it running it requires from you: sleep, sunshine, fresh air, a little movement and some nutrition. Our culture forgets to give thanks for what we have been given. We like to take shortcuts, reduce our giving [...]
Kids are already flexible right? They can touch their toes? And aren't they experts at staying in the moment? Why would kids need yoga? And where is yoga going to get them? It's not going to improve their chances of becoming a professional athlete or computer whizz or improve their grades..... so what is the [...]
We are all just looking for peace. That place where the mind stills and we feel content with who we are and all we have. What I find in meditation can be satisfied for hours, maybe minutes maybe seconds by submitting to our wants. To the calling of the mind to buy this, to buy [...]
Would you love your children to meditate - but don't know where to start? Do you think your children would benefit from a practice that takes them into their true selves instead of constantly looking outside themselves for their answers?

I wake up most days bone tired, despite hitting the mattress about 9ish most nights. Nope I don't get up horrendously early - it's 6:30/7 around here at the moment - I just have a [...]
Morning routine. What's that again? Is that where we drag ourselves out of bed via the toddler alarm clock at 6ish...stumble to the coffee machine...make them breakfast, get them dressed, make school lunches, yell a lot about shoes and get in the car at some point, before or after the school bell has gone? Then [...]
What would it look like to stop analysing what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong? How would it feel to not have a list at the end of each day assessing our successes and failures? To close our eyes each night with the joy of moments in our lives instead of [...]
My five year old asked me that just the other day. Without prompting of any kind. I looked at him, quite seriously, and said, "A Writer." I said, "What about you?" He said, "A Pokemon collector." Now you might not see this as a great career option, but let's face it, there are people who [...]
