✨Bliss n Grace to 2025 ✨
May ALL Sentient Beings upon our planet be Healthy, Holy & Happy✨
we are ALL related in LOVE 💚
Lots of planetary alignments and unusual placements in our cosmic skies throughout our year of 2025.
2025 adds to 9, in numerology 9 equates to completion and endings. Endings open doors to new beginnings in all direction of Life.
The planetary alignments are forcing us to look deeply within rather than looking externally to see what needs to complete and or end in our lives to give room to create new beginnings….
The practice of Kundalini yoga opens us up. The practice gives us opportunities to transform and alchemise what needs to be changed so that we can have doors open for us so that we live life in Love and really know that we are ALL connected through love. It’s a conscious journey.
I’d like to encourage individuals to continue and or start up a practice (if you feel called) of kundalini yoga to open yourself up to become the agent of change and become a Being of true Love 💚

My connection to Panchakarma
I’m no longer a novice to Panchakarma.
Here is my condensed blog on my experiences with Panchakarma.
I’ll start with some history.
I have been practising and teaching Hatha yoga for over 25 years, teaching kundalini yoga for the past 16 years.
My partner and I backpacked throughout India in the year 2000. We moved around this amazing country for 6 months. India opened our hearts and minds to this organised chaotic realm of existence. We also spent time in Nepal where the energy was more peaceful being closer to the Himalayas perhaps.
It took 11 years before I returned to India, on my own and a little nervous. I travelled to Rishikesh for the 11/11 (November 11, 2011) Kundalini yoga festival. Three of my yoga students shared the experience with me.
It was amazing. So much divine healing, since then I have been travelling yearly to India.
Ayurvedic lifestyle gained a lot of curiosity (note lifestyle) within me when I started my Kundalini yoga experience. Information became more and more available through the Kundalini yoga modality.
Whilst in India, I would have Ayurvedic treatments as they were available practically everywhere that I would visit. The treatments always agreed with me, and I always looked forward to more.
I would always start small, call it caution if you want.
Everything in life is gradual, too much at once can throw us off course, so I can safely say I’ve been training for these Panchakarma treatments for years.
I started reading about Panchakarma with a different mindset. I didn’t feel ready to commit to a full-on detox, (when I would detox at home, I would get pretty sick) however I kept being drawn to the word. Probably the ‘karma’ part of the word (funny about that!) so I started looking for Ayurvedic Panchakarma centres. I became more confused, so many to choose from.
Well, the Divine guided me into a Health food store at my local shopping centre. I was at the right place at the right moment to connect to an Indian woman who was in the store doing her shopping and we began talking. The conversation shifted very quickly about India and Ayurvedic medicine.
It was an amazing conversation, we had heaps in common and she gave me information on Poolmully.
This for me was a sign of an invitation that I had to trust, so I phoned the doctor at the centre the same day. I spoke with Dr Aparna and the rest is history.
What draws me to Ayurvedic practices is that it works more on getting the body to heal itself. The treatments are about gathering or sweeping the toxins from all around the body, towards the gut so that the gut moves the toxins through the bowel for elimination.. The body will release what it’s ready to release to allow the body to heal. Toxins are pulled from the four elements within.
I know that what the mind has forgotten, the body remembers as we store ALL traumas in the body. Our body represents our mental frame since when only the Divine knows that, but that’s a whole bigger story.
As it happens, western medicine treats the condition, Ayurveda treats the body, and this is why I choose Ayurveda and Ayurvedic Panchakarma.
Power Yoga
Power Yoga, a dynamic and fitness-oriented style, amplifies traditional yoga elements with a vigorous approach. Derived from Ashtanga Yoga, it emphasizes strength, flexibility, and endurance through a series of fast-paced and challenging poses. Power Yoga sessions often incorporate cardio elements, making it an intense full-body workout.
The fluid sequences, coupled with synchronized breathwork, elevate heart rate and build muscular strength. Unlike more traditional forms, Power Yoga doesn’t adhere to a strict set of poses, allowing for creative variations. This style appeals to those seeking a physically demanding practice that promotes both mental focus and transformative physical results.
With its emphasis on empowerment and energizing movements, Power Yoga provides a dynamic avenue for individuals looking to enhance their fitness while embracing the holistic benefits of yoga.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga, a gentle and therapeutic practice, focuses on relaxation and rejuvenation. Rooted in Hatha Yoga principles, it involves holding passive poses for extended durations, often supported by props like blankets and bolsters. This encourages deep relaxation, allowing the body to release tension and stress.
The emphasis on breath awareness and mindful stillness distinguishes Restorative Yoga as a calming and meditative experience. Ideal for all levels, including those recovering from injuries or dealing with chronic pain, it promotes healing and renewal. By engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, Restorative Yoga offers a sanctuary for the mind and body to unwind, fostering a profound sense of well-being.
Incorporate this soothing practice into your routine to cultivate balance, relaxation, and a tranquil state of mind.
