The human body is a truly an astounding creation of design. Designed perfectly to adapt and learn. Did you know that when you “fail” at anything, it triggers your neural pathways to help your brain adapt, change course, and refine? Meaning that when you fail, fall or make a mistake, your best course of action is to try again as your body and mind are now primed to learn and stretch and adapt Your body and mind are in a constant state of refinement, but how you think, the actions you take and the way you speak to yourself will hugely impact the patterns and beliefs that it is solidifying. When you fail or fall, you can repeat the same patterns of shame, guilt or victimhood. Get frustrated defeated and give up. reaffirming the untrue or limiting beliefs you might have. - believe me, I've been there and I know how easy it can be to slip into this narrative. OR You could carve a new pathway of compassion, courage and resilience. You could try again with more grace for yourself, with more curiosity and play. Lighting up new pathways in your brain that help you learn and grow. Even if you don't get it right the second time, you can at minimum disprove and dispell the negative self talk and beliefs you might hold about yourself. And eventually overtime your body learns, adapts and figures it out. What pathways are you choosing to strengthen? #yogaphilosophy #yogaeverywhere #yogateachers #yogaselfpracticetribe #athomepractice #yogainspiration #yogaisdead #practiceandalliscoming #yogateacher #yogaeveryday #yoganz #yogaauckland #yogapractice

Part two of my month in the south island : wild camping in mount aspiring and hiking the French Ridge hut ⛰️🌲🥾🌿🏕️ This quickly became mine and Daniels favourite place in the south island. So much wild beauty that flet like an immediate exhale upon entry. The hike to the French Ridge was one that almost broke me mentally, but I'm determined to do again and attempt to climb even higher. It was so beautiful. a week I will always remember. Full video is up in youtube 💗 #nzmustdo #newzealand #arthurspass #earthygirl #feralgirl #choosemountains #slowliving #hikingculture #sheisnotlost

Less than 5 days to sign up and join us on Sunday for an arm balance handstand and inversions workshop this Sunday ✨ This 3-hour workshop is designed to give you the most effective and efficient pathways to unlocking and refining your arm balances and inversions within your yoga practice in an empowering and educational way. Exploring postures such as crow pose, headstand, forearm balance and handstand, and understanding the components required to move toward and into these often more challenging and complex shapes with compassion and curiosity. In lead up to this weekend I have been sitting again with my intention in why I created this workshop. When I first started practicing I longed so deeply for a space within New Zealand that supported my desire to lean into challenge and explore more complex shapes. I would go to classes and often be singled out, used as an example in class or in some cases I was even shamed for taking the more advanced option and leaning into challenge. It made me feel guilty and isolated for the fact that there was this genuine curiosity in me to create more advance shape. I made a pact with myself then that I would only ever make people feel empowered in my classes, no matter if they were beginners or advanced practitioners they would be given the invitation to choose what was right for them in a supportive atmosphere. I want this space to be exactly that for you. A place to come to, no matter your experience when you feel that call of inspiration. To feel more comfort in the process of trying and falling and trying again. To be uplifted, inspired, supported and empowered. Our inspiration and curiosities are a beacon from the universe guiding us towards our liberation and freedom. If you feel inquisitive about something that is a good enough signal that there is something to be found there that is important for your journey… it doesn't have to make sense to anyone but you. There are now only 2 spaces left so if you're called to join us head to my website and secure a spot for yourself. I also have 2 workshops coming up in Christchurch next month! Dm me for details Can't wait to descend into this portal of play with you all!

One of the most important aspects of my well-being and health is tending to my connection between the earth and myself. Inhaling the mist of rivers Sitting with the mycelium Walking barefoot on the soil Forest bathing Nature is always teaching us how to live in alignment. How to fight off disease, how to heal, how to alchemize and how to grow in a way that makes room for all of life. I've walked closely with depression the last year and a half and a huge part of my healing (alongside therapy, somatics and prayer) has been sitting as nature - knowing and confirming for myself that we are one and the same. Often ill be out for a walk and feel an uncontrollable urge to lay my back against a tree, upon the soil or the sand and simply rest there. I hear it as nature calling to nature. The same wisdom of the earth is also in every cell of You. So if life ever feels to heavy to carry alone, know you can offer it up to the earth. She can hold it all for you. Not only that but she will teach you her ways of alchemizing, transmuting and transforming it. 🌺 This video of my solo camping trip is live over on youtube of youre in need of a digital resting space filled with natures medicine 🌿

15 years with this man and though I never think it possible, I grow more in love with him with every day. Growing up with you has been the biggest blessing of my life. Thank you for taking such good care of my heart ❤️ “Even the dark with you feels like the brightest day”

This place quickly became both mine and Daniel’s favourite place in New Zealand. So many beautiful wild swimming spots, countless glaciers to gaze at in awe, the sound of the ice cracking and moving, mountains that seem to reach into the heavens. We spent 4 days in here, giving ourselves lots of time for side quests, frolicking and exploring the many hikes. We chose to do the French ridge hut as our biggest hike and though it almost broke me mentally it is without a doubt up there as one of my favourite hikes (borderline climb) that I’ve ever done. I think I’ll even go back one day and attempt to climb higher past the official end of the track and try my hand at some mountaineering. The urge to reach the summit was so strong and It inspired me so much to explore higher peaks, learn about navigation and expand my hiking skills. If you see me start to get into mountaineering, know that it was because of this hike… #newzealandguide #newzealandfinds #mtaspiring #mtaspiringnationalpark #explorenewzealand

I’ve been seeing a lot of post on here lately about the mass shift that is coming in 2025 and a lot of it has felt very steeped in fear. There is absolutely a big tower moment happening collectively, it has been leading up to this for years. But tower moments are necessary in dismantling unsuitable foundations. This has been a long time coming and the higher the tower, the harder the fall. But it’s how we choose to move through the shift that can make all the difference. Your sensitivity to the signs should not make you afraid, see it as the signal that you are ready and needed. take this time to ground even deeper, tune your gifts and steady yourself in spirit. You have gifts, wisdom, experience and knowledge that you have been primed for the last few years for this exact moment. Be aware of the moments where you are being called into sharing, speaking, creating and holding space. This is your call to action to assist in the waking of the world. You’ll know it/hear it/see it as a quiet and firm resolve. Watch for the ways you can uplift others into their gifts, power and highest self and act upon it. We rise together. Your word of encouragement could be the spark it takes for someone to fully ignite. Be vigilant. Be SO vigilant to all the ways fear, separation and passivity will be trying to creep in and immobilise - denounce it immediately. Be discerning in what you consume and what you take on as truth. rest, integrate, meditate. stay close to god. Don’t look away. But maintain your boundaries on how much you can take in. feel what is arising. transmute it. And then get ready to act on your divine inspiration - this is how you will guide the way. the world needs us not in our fear, but in our hearts, in the clearest stream of our being. #spiritualawakening #spirituality #spiritualdevelopment #intuition #psychicabilities

Here’s something you might not like to hear, but sometimes being stuck, is exactly where you need to be... I know it can be frustrating and disheartening to feel like you are in a period of stagnation. Our world celebrates and puts so much emphasis on constant movement, progress and growth, often valuing it above all else to the point where it can result in creating more unhelpful and unnecessary noise. But periods of being “stuck” can actually be really powerful and potent for internal work, perspective shifts and internal reflection. In tarot we see this in the card of the hanged man. He suspends himself upside down by the heel, halting any and all movement forward in order to come into stillness, he consciously chooses to stop, gently binding himself heart over head, so that true and potent insight from the divine can flow through. Our periods of being stuck offer up to us a moment of great stillness that we can harness to bring about more clarity and alignment. A moment to reflect on our actions we’ve taken and really re attuned to source so that when we feel the impulse to act, we are doing so in full alignment. During these moments is often when our best ideas and intuitive messages and inspired actions have the space to pour in. So, Instead of viewing this as time wasted in the non doing or lack of progress, maybe see how it feels to allow it its own sacred space. There is so much time for busyness and doing, feeling stuck can simply be an invitation to enter into a period of refinement, connection and clarification. And when we allow what is here to fully be, we often find ourselves naturally finding a space of more ease. #yogaphilosophy #yogaeverywhere #yogateachers #yogaselfpracticetribe #athomepractice #yogainspiration #yogaisdead #practiceandalliscoming #yogateacher #yogaeveryday #yoganz #tarotcards #thehangedman
