The Perth ocean always feels icy to me. It could be a roasting 40 degree plus day and I'll take 10 minutes to get in the water. The top half of me pink and sweating, the bottom half chilled and numb.

This year I treated myself to a wetsuit (just long arms, no legs) to extend the swimming season, and to be fair, I did get in the water in mid July this year 😁

So last Thursday morning, with the sun shining and the temperature heading towards 30 degrees, out came the wetsuit and we went for our first family swim of the season.

My return to the water unfolded as always - slow, tentative, long. Nick and Olive bounded in as usual, it's like they're shouting back at me "what cold?!"... I don't think their temperature receptors work quite well 😆

With ocean swims back on the schedule, and the sudden bloom of all of the gorgeous flowers and blossom around, it's definitely spring in our world.

And on Wednesday 23 September, we celebrate the Spring Equinox, the astronomical beginning of spring where the day and night become equal.

The arrival of September is like a collective sigh of relief. More warm, less cold, at last!

Moving from season to season gives us an opportunity to observe the way nature changes. The transition from winter to spring brings energy, joy and much appreciated warmth to our days as the sun slowly rises earlier each morning.

It's so important to observe ourselves too. We are also part of nature and our emotions, thoughts and desires are also changing as we move towards spring. Are you starting to feel the need to be more active? To rise earlier? To eat lighter, healthier meals?

From an Ayurvedic perspective, spring is the Kapha season, with its cold, wet and dense attributes. But the warmth of the sun is starting to come through more every day, and we can use our yoga practice to help move from the slow and heavy winter hibernation into the ever-changing, optimistic energy of spring 🌸

There are some days when the most important thing on your to-do list is to lie down somewhere comfortable and be completely still. Restful and quiet, allowing yourself to be held.

It might look like doing nothing, but it feels like something is stirring inside - deep transformation, shifting stress and anxiety that's so important to let go of ❤️

It's what our monthly Sound Bath + Yin class is all about.

Join Lyndal on Sunday 20 September, 3pm to 4.30pm, for 90 minutes of genuine rest.

Her singing bowls, chimes and voice will carry you into deep stillness - the kind where your nervous system can settle back into balance. The long, supported holds of Yin will help your body unravel and release, and you'll leave feeling clearer, softer and more yourself.

No experience needed. Wear something comfortable and come as you are - Lyndal will guide you through every moment 😊

Bookings are essential for this class and everyone is welcome - including those new to yoga.

Ever tried moving from savasana into warrior 3 in 2 breaths? You know the sequence... inhale, now you're seated with crossed legs. Exhale now you're in a standing forward bend. Inhale now you're in a high lunge, exhale now you're floating in space in warrior 3 🤯

What the what?

It's kind of what the seasons feel like at the moment... a little erratic, oscillating between hot and cold so I never know what to wear, or whether I should take my puffer jacket when I go out (as a recent puffer jacket convert, mine gets well used in winter 😍).

Taming this chaotic energy is why I started yoga too. I never really was into the gym, doing weights and reps like the others. So I tried a few aerobics classes which were a disaster. I couldn't keep up with the stepping, I confused left and right. Once class I did both sets of lunges on just the one side 🫣

My coordination was atrocious. So I gave the yoga class a go and it was completely different. Flowing and nurturing and empowering - I could actually do this! I could feel yoga even though I didn't know what yoga was.

The sudden Perth transition from winter to summer can feel a little abrupt like going to those aerobics classes. Or transitioning from sleeping to balancing in 15 seconds flat. In, out, hot, cold, snip, snap.

When big changes are happening - either in the weather or in life - we can always turn to yoga for building focus, composure and steadiness. To help navigate the delicate dance of life's ebbs and flows.

Learning to cultivate resilience, strength and stamina helps to smooth out the ups and downs in life, and this is where yoga shines ✨

And thankfully for all of us, our Warrior 3 transitions will be much more considered and nurturing this week 🥰

All of this warm weather has made me keen to tidy up. So this week I redirected a little energy that's usually spent on office work into a garden purge.

I actually used to hate gardening when I was younger 🫣 It was this family event that felt like a marathon, I never got to do any of the good jobs - I was always assigned weeding 😖 And I'd find any excuse to get out of doing it. I used to clean the whole house just so I didn't have to go outside to get my hands dirty 😆

How different things are now that I have my own garden! The satisfaction of making change, of creating something beautiful, of planting the seeds to make flowers, herbs, vegetables, enriches my soul.

This week it was hard work. So much weeding 🙄 and collecting the crunchy winter leaves. Tidying up the pot plants. Getting my hands in the dirt, smelling the earth.

Time doesn't exist when I'm in the garden, even when it is the hard, need to get this done, kind of work.

It's the feeling of being in flow, connected to the universe, sensing the surge of energy that is building up for spring.

This energy permeates all of nature. It's a circulatory energy that you can feel and experience, and in Ayurveda, we call this Vyana Vayu.

Vyana is the vital energy function known as "outward moving air". With its home at Hridaya, your heart centre, Vyana moves everything through your body - food, water, oxygen, thoughts, emotions and feelings.

Sometimes in life, Vyana can get a little out of balance, when all of these elements stop moving smoothly and effortlessly. You might feel a little stuck, no longer in the natural flow of life. The mind might start to have thoughts on a continuous loop, maybe experiencing feelings of overwhelm and anxiety. This is the time to open up to the flow of the universe, moving towards grounding and enlivening practices that support the nervous system.

One of the greatest healers is spending time in nature, truly becoming part of it. Ocean swimming, bike riding, hiking, hugging trees. Even pulling weeds.

It's all nature, and connects us to something bigger than ourselves.

Sometimes, the most profound thing you can do is lie down and be still.

Not be still and doomscroll. Or be still and mentally plan tomorrow. Or zone out in front of the tv.

Be still and simply be - held by sound and stillness.

It may seem like you're only lying there, but deep transformation is happening within - a subtle, unseen shift that's so important 😊

It's what our monthly Sound Bath + Yin class is all about.

Join Lyndal on Sunday 20 September, 3pm to 4.30pm, for 90 minutes of genuine rest.

Her singing bowls, chimes and voice will carry you into deep stillness - the kind where your nervous system can settle back into balance. The long, supported holds of Yin will help your body unravel and release, and you'll leave feeling clearer, softer and more yourself.

There are times of the year, like this week but 12 months ago, where it feels like I'm reliving the exact same moment.

Here in the middle-ish of winter, Olive, our staffy, is itchy. Again 😏

As she becomes a more mature lady, her eyes seem to be becoming a little more delicate as she navigates this season of scratchy eyes. Just like us when we're feeling sick, Olive lies on the couch feeling sorry for herself giving the most heartbreaking, miserable stares.

Olive's longtime "pamper" ritual is still in full swing - eyedrops at this time of year, followed up with her usual teethy time (aka tooth brushing) and h**py time (h**p seed oil licks)... yeah as you can imagine, it's as ridiculous as it sounds 🤣

She seems to be a little over all of the eye staring, inspecting and opening, but we sense that she knows that we are only trying to help her, that our intention is to make her feel better and back to her bouncy staffy self 🥰

Intention is everything. It shapes how we approach each moment, each person, each interaction.

Intuitively we know when someone's intention is a little off, when we're being tricked into something we don't necessarily want. It's like when we try to give Olive an antihistamine for her itches - we work hard to disguise the deception that's about to happen but sometimes she still picks up on our vibe. They have to be pretty tasty sardines to hide those nasty little tablets 😳

Intention is an important part of yoga practice as well. For us as teachers, it's a reflection of the love and care that we put into preparing classes. The difference between feeling connected and grounded, and aggravated and spaced out.

For you as students, it's your why for coming to class. Movement, mobility, peace, rest....

It's why your experience of the same asana (posture) can be so different from class to class.

There's a difference between moving through a pose and actually feeling it. Between going through the motions and genuinely listening to what your body is communicating.

That quality of inner attention - interoception - is what transforms a physical practice into something much deeper.

It's been a weird old winter here in Perth. Winter classes usually mean ducking the rain when going to or from the studio. Running around frantically trying to cover my glasses so they don't get speckles of water on them 🙄

This week was one of the only mornings I can remember so far where I had to do the rain dance dodge. My usual technique is to look, hug everything close and run.

Nick usually watches from afar, reminding me that I'm still getting the same amount of wet as if I walked.

In my mind, that's not right 😆 - the quicker I go, the less wet I get, right?! Unless he hasn't unlocked the car yet 🤣

Apparently Mythbusters' first experiment said that running didn't keep you drier... but then did the test again and said that running did keep you drier 🥳

This question has had researchers divided since the 70s 🤯

Speaking of myths worth busting - yoga has a few too.

"I have to be flexible to do yoga."

We hear this myth so often, and it's completely untrue and unrealistic for most of us.

Or how about "Yoga is just physical exercises"? Nope, 100% not true! The philosophy of yoga is vast and encompassing and starts with the physical and ends with returning to your natural state of pure bliss ✨

And then there is "Vinyasa". This one means fast flowing yoga in English, right? Not correct either.

Let's talk about what vinyasa really means.

When you have many thousands of years of knowledge to unravel and explore, it's understandable that things can get a little skewed and misunderstood.

Yes the word vinyasa is used a lot to describe a particular style of yoga (usually fast, flowing, aerobic) however its direct translation is very different from this modern understanding.

Vinyasa is composed of two Sanskrit words - vi which means "in a special way" and nyasa meaning "to place, arrange" - Vinyasa is therefore "to place in a special way".

Every time you come to class, you have an experience of vinyasa. The breath, the movement, the meditation all carefully chosen to lead you towards an experience of joy and inner peace 💕
