Last week we covered the Chakra system as well as how to ground yourself through the balancing of your Base Chakra.

In my lifetime (27 years) over half of it has been spent yo-yo dieting, restricting myself from certain foods or counting every calorie that was consumed. If I heard it on an advertisement that if you ‘do (insert whatever diet torture you please) you will lose XX kilos in a second.’ I was on to it. You name the diet, …
Who else LOVES music? All hands up surely. You know the tunes that speak to your heart and just make you go OHHHH! This! Usually teamed with some weird facial expression that’s really saying “far out I love this song and I’m going to add it to my new playlist.” We do this ALL. THE. TIME. And, now we realise that …
Why you need to listen to this episode: if you have been in a hateful relationship with your body and yourself or have ever struggled to find an exercise that suits you… you definitely need to listen to episode 106 with Erin Bourne.

10 weeks have passed since I started Yoga Teacher Training with Essence of Living here on the Gold Coast, that means I’m done! Certified yogi: tick 😉 I seriously can’t believe how fast 10 weekends went. That’s 20 days. 200 hours. Boom. FUN NOTE: if you’d prefer to listen to this blog post, press play below! Or find us on …
