To all the beautiful beings out there, 

The practice of Yoga has and will continue to transform, inspire and enhance the journey of  my life so far. I feel blessed to have grown up in the arms of dancing and gymnastics so when I discovered asana practice I fell completely in love with the deep sense of connection, creation and presence it offered to each moment. 

In 2011, Ruby Raine was welcomed into the world. Throughout my pregnancy I dove deeper into the practice of yoga, learning the power of connection and present moment awareness. At times when my mind was like a wild ocean with waves of emotion rising and falling with many different currents in the direction of my thoughts; my breath and my practice became my anchor into the present moment. I was so happy to find a powerful and inspiring way to connect inward and understand my  mind and  body with more depth. I was absolutely inspired by the incredible sensations it brought to my experience of a beautiful pregnancy and child birth. I discovered a deeper sense of connection to my baby, calmness and tranquility through moments of fear and a feeling of co existing to something greater that my eyes couldn't see. 

In 2014, I took a leap of faith and studied a Diploma of Yoga and Natural Therapies (Internationally recognized by Yoga Alliance) at Wellpark College, I unearthed a deeper sense of passion for practicing and teaching the beauty of Yoga. From my experience, this traditional practice encouraged and guided the improvement of inner health, happiness and well being within myself. 

As my daughter Ruby Raine has grown over the last 6 years, our life has been a sacred journey exploring change, growth, discovery, movement and transformation. Yoga is a way of life, and on this path we are continuously teaching each other and expanding into the vision of what is possible. I believe growing with our children through the sacred art of mindfulness, yoga and breath is among some of the most beautiful medicine that can yield a healthy, happy child. 

Lets continue to sow seeds  on the mat that blossom into our everyday life activities, relationships, and responsibilities.

Intentional living to co-create spaces of peace and positivity, to nourish and deepen the connection to our entire beings.  

Love Grace

TRUst

Note to Self: Trust the process. Let your inner light shine, it is stronger than any darkness you may encounter. Your experiences this far on the journey have all been a part of the careful creation of who you are, and who you are going to become. You are on the right path, with the propensity to grow into your full potential. Remain a student to the art of living, stay true to your Self, find a balanced energy and you will exist in happiness.

Play

Note to Self: Breathe to find the peaceful home within yourself. Move to play with your inner child. Explore to see the wild animal within. Practice to find flashes of insight. The flowers from these seeds will express themselves in daily life... As a sense of ease in a challenging or stressful situation, a feeling of joy without a discernible origin, or an overwhelming experience of calm within a cyclone.

LOVE

Note to Self: Love in ways that allow the heart to be truly felt beating inside the chest, the internal drum that beats to the rhythm of life. The heart is fragile but it is wonderfully resilient. Whether it is breaking or bursting, as it begins to open, light begins to seep in. Little by little, light fills the heart and the heart will begin to expand until it overflows and others can feel it too.
