A little Chair Pose aboard MV Cavallino during the Beyond the Barrier Rally 🌊

As you bend your knees, let your hips move back and your torso lean slightly forward. Keep your feet grounded, your lower back long, and your breath steady. There’s no need to force a deep tailbone tuck or lift your chest into a big backbend.

A simple pose that asks us to find strength and steadiness—wherever we happen to be. ⚓️

“Strong legs, steady balance, and a little calm amid the movement of life at sea.” Leanne

My life was guided by sunsets. 🌅

I would look forward to them every day, watching the sun disappear from wherever we happened to be — on land or at sea, from an island or a tiny cay.

I practised yoga beneath them, sailed towards them, and simply sat and watched them.

And even now, from my home, a beautiful sunset can still stop me in my tracks.

That sense of awe never gets old.

So have a sunset kind of weekend. ✨

Pause. Look up. Be in awe of what nature offers us so freely — another beautiful closing of the day, and the chance to begin again tomorrow.

🌅🙏Leanne 🤗

Sailing and yoga have been woven together through so many chapters of my life. ⛵️🧘‍♀️

These photos take me back to teaching Down Under Rally participants at Bundaberg Port Marina—helping sailors stretch tired bodies, breathe deeply and find a moment of calm before continuing their journeys.

It was never only about the yoga. It was about community, connection and finding stillness wherever we happened to drop anchor.

Many moments like these became part of the journey behind my memoir, Finding Stillness Between the Waves.

Have you ever tried yoga beside the water—or while living aboard a boat? 🌊 www.yoga4yachties.com

This underwater video inspired the cover of Finding Stillness Between the Waves—filmed beneath our catamaran, Songlines, in the beautiful blue waters of Fiji. 🇫🇯🌊

Now I’m exploring the possibility of returning to Fiji for a very special book launch and yoga gathering—a little stillness, storytelling and connection in a place where so much of my journey unfolded.

Would you join me in Fiji? I’d love to know. 💙

Malasana • Garland Pose

A grounding posture—even when practised at sea.

Malasana gently opens the hips, groin and ankles, lengthens the spine and builds strength through the legs. It also supports the everyday mobility we need to lower ourselves down and rise again with confidence.

On the bow of Songlines, this pose invited me to soften, breathe and find steadiness beneath a wide, changing sky.

Every body is different—your heels don’t need to touch the ground. Support them with a folded blanket or place a block beneath you and meet your body where it is today.

How does Malasana feel in your body?

Leanne 🙏

“Wild Thing - open the heart, lengthen the front body, strengthen, expand and breathe.”

From a wide-leg seated forward fold into Wild Thing, you’re moving from a grounded, inward shape into a much more open, expansive backbend.

Breathe & shine your heart

A little fun fact about my teaching…

Sometimes, “I closed my eyes so I could learn to teach by feeling it myself - how each pose felt inside me — noticing the alignment, the shape, where the breath moves and what the asana actually feels like from the inside.

It helped me communicate more clearly when I’m guiding others.

Yoga isn’t only about how a pose looks. It’s about learning to feel it in your own body. 🤍

Have you ever closed your eyes in a familiar pose and noticed how different it feels?

Fun fact about me: I love learning languages. 🌎

This photo takes me back to 2011, studying from my Spanish Lingo book in the sunshine.

I quickly discovered that página—the Spanish word for “page”—can sound like something very different if you pronounce it incorrectly! Let’s just say I embarrassed myself more than once. 😂

But that’s part of learning: having a go, laughing at yourself and trying again.

Have you ever had a funny language mix-up?
