Hi, ${contact.name.first}, I trust you are having a wonderful week! Happy spring to all my down under friends and happy fall to all the Northern hemispherers! A change of season always feels refreshing, doesn’t it? As I’ve been getting everything ready for the upcoming training, which is happening next weekend (!), I’ve been thinking about all the different people who have come through my Chair Yoga world over the years, and the different journeys that they’ve had. And

Hi there, I trust you’re healthy, happy & thriving! It’s getting warmer here in Sydney - I can definitely feel the spring vibes in the air! Can you believe it’s September next week? In a way, I’m happy about that as it means the training is in just 2 weeks and that I’m going overseas in 1 month! Yay! The countdowns are on! But wow, how fast time is going… Anyway, I’ve talked a lot about the first Yama Ahimsa (non-harm) before and today I want to talk to you about another

Hi there! I hope you are doing well this week and enjoying life. I am enjoying life and seeing so many of you in my classes and connecting with you on social media and email, always the highlight of my week! Today I want to tell you about something that happened at one of my Chair Yoga trainings in Brisbane. We were doing one of the practical parts of the training where everyone has the opportunity to teach a little 10-minute Chair Yoga class to the rest of the group.

Hi there! How are you doing this week? I hope you are healthy and happy! I am getting excited over here in my corner of the world because 1. Its still amazingly wintery sunny and 2. it's just 1 month now until I'll be meeting those of you who are coming to Sydney for our training in Sept! We are going to have such a lovely weekend together. If you want to join us, you can check it out below. But, what I really wanted to share this week is how writing these emails to you

Hi there! I trust you're having a lovely week! I'm loving the winter here in Sydney - it's been so beautiful and sunny, and if you know me, you know I love my winter sun! This week I want to share with you a little story about belonging… Years ago, after I injured my shoulder, I wanted to go to a Yoga class at the studio near to me. I was really looking forward to getting back into my practice, but when I explained my injury, I was told I couldn't come because I wouldn'

Hi there, I wanted to tell you about something really special this week. A couple of years ago I had a psychic reading. Whether that's your sort of thing or not doesn't really matter, because what happened in that reading left me really thinking about things in a different way! My beautiful grandfather came through. He was one of the kindest men I've ever known. He genuinely loved people and he used to have people coming to him for prayers and healings. He would talk to

Hi there! I trust you’re healthy, happy & thriving this week! Do you remember the story from last week of the lovely woman who wandered into my Mind Body Spirit Festival stall, scared to move because everything she'd tried before had hurt her? Who then, a few years later, turned up at one of my Chair Yoga Teacher Trainings? (If you missed it you can catch up on all the recent past emails here!) Well, it made me feel like sharing some more stories with you! I have so man

Hi there! I trust you’re well, happy and healthy! Over the past few weeks I've been sharing some of my story and how and why Inclusive Chair Yoga came to be. Today I want to tell you about the meaning behind Inclusive Chair Yoga. Just in case you're new to the email list, welcome! If you’ve missed any of the story so far - you can catch up here: www.getfitwhereyousit.com.au/icy-emails People often ask me why I chose the name Inclusive Chair Yoga. The answer is simple

Hi there! Can I let you in on a little secret? For years, I had been thinking about doing a Yoga Teacher training…but I didn't think I was good enough to be a Yoga Teacher. Which probably sounds a little strange coming from someone who now spends so much of her time teaching and training teachers in Yoga! But it's true. Even though I was already teaching fitness classes, there was a part of me that believed I didn't fit the picture of what a Yoga Teacher (or even a fitness

Hi there! I’ve been thinking alot over the past week about how this work began for me. Have you ever had one of those moments that completely changes the direction of your life? At the time you probably don’t even realise that it is an important moment but years later you look back and realise..."Ohhh...that was it - that was the moment that changed EVERYTHING." For me, it happened in my Zumba Gold class in Alexandria (maybe some of you were even there!). It’s not exact
