How do you know when you need rest? 

This morning I watched a magpie walk across the road instead of flying.

And I thought… Good job, little magpie.

You chose a different path today. You didn't force yourself to fly simply because you could.

Now, I have no idea whether walking was actually easier or more energy-efficient for that particular magpie - but I'm choosing to believe it was.

And it got me thinking about how much better nature is at responding to its own needs than we are.

Animals rest.
They conserve energy.
They slow down.
They retreat when they need to.

We humans?

We're pretty good at ignoring the signals.

We push through the tiredness.
We say yes when we really want to say no.
We keep adding things to an already-full calendar.
We tell ourselves we'll rest when everything is done.

Until eventually the whispers become shouts.

Overwhelmed.
Exhausted.
Irritable.
Anxious.
Sick.
Burnt out.

Sometimes it takes a breakdown, an illness or complete exhaustion before we finally give ourselves permission to stop.

But what if we listened earlier?

What if the tiredness was enough information?

What if saying no to one more thing, going to bed earlier, taking a quiet afternoon or simply doing less today could prevent a much bigger cost later?

Prevention rather than cure.

Rest isn't something we should have to earn once we've completely depleted ourselves.

It's part of caring for our health.

So perhaps today, instead of asking:

“Can I keep going?” Ask: “What is my body asking me for?”

And if the answer is rest…Maybe that's not weakness.

Maybe that's wisdom.

Sparkling Soul Yoga

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for our wellbeing is listen before our body has to make the decision for us.

13/09/2026

What does it feel like to truly relax?
Not just sitting down for five minutes.
Not scrolling your phone while telling yourself you're resting.
But genuinely slowing down.

Breathing a little deeper.
Softening the jaw.
Letting the shoulders drop.
Feeling your body supported.
Giving your nervous system permission to pause.

That’s the invitation behind Reset & Rise.

A 2-hour yoga experience created to help you step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with what calm feels like - in your body and in yourself.

Through movement, breath, stillness, yoga nidra and time to simply be, we'll create space to reset, release and reconnect.
You don't need to be flexible.
You don't need to be experienced.
And you don't need to arrive feeling calm.

Just come as you are.

Reset & Rise Yoga Masterclass
Stretch Yoga, Holland Park
Sunday 20 September
11am–1pm
$60

Perhaps it's simply time to remember what it feels like to slow down, soften and breathe.
For your body.
For your mind.
For you.

A very special week of yoga with Sparkling Soul Yoga

Sometimes you need to get out of the house.
Sometimes you need to stay exactly where you are.
And sometimes… you need to give yourself a little more time to truly slow down.

This week, there are three beautiful ways to practise:

WEDNESDAY | 5:45am | Zoom
Start your day from the comfort of your own home - PJ’s absolutely welcome! No commute, no rushing. Just roll out your mat and take some time for you.

SATURDAY | 7am & 8am | Hardcastle Park, Hawthorne
There is something so special about practising yoga outdoors beside the Brisbane River. The breeze. The birds. The morning light. And the energy of practising alongside a beautiful community.
Come exactly as you are. Move like you.

SUNDAY | Reset & Rise Yoga Masterclass | 11am–1pm
A deeper 2-hour yoga experience designed to help you discover how your body feels when it is relaxed, supported and calm.
An opportunity to step away from the noise, slow down, breathe, move and reconnect with yourself.

Three different practices.
Three different ways to care for yourself.
One beautiful week of yoga.
Whether you're brand new to yoga or you've been practising for years, you are welcome here.

If you'd like any specifics about the classes or Sunday's Reset & Rise experience, send me a message. I'd love to help.

It’s Sunday.

I’m sitting at my computer, typing away, listening to music, working on the next chapter of Sparkling Soul Yoga.

And it suddenly hit me…

I don’t care that it’s Sunday.

Because this isn’t about working harder.

It’s about purpose.

In yoga, we call this dharma - the path that feels deeply aligned with who you are and what you are here to contribute.

And I think I’ve finally found mine.

I believe yoga can be a genuine tool for better health and wellbeing.

Not just something we do on a mat.

Something that can help us move better, breathe better, manage stress, build strength and confidence, support our mental wellbeing and feel more connected - to ourselves, to others and to our communities.

And I want to make that available to as many people as possible.

That’s why Sparkling Soul Yoga is growing.

In-person classes.
Online practices.
Masterclasses.
Retreats you can access from home.
One-off experiences in beautiful places.
And eventually, in-person retreats.

Different doors into the same thing:

Helping you live a healthier, more connected life.

So yes, there are courses to do.

Trainings to complete.

Ideas to develop.

Things to build behind the scenes.

But they aren't really work when you know what they're working towards.

They are all part of the vision.

And the vision is bigger than me.

It’s about you.

It’s about making yoga a little more accessible, a little more inclusive and a lot more relevant to real life.

So I’ll keep learning.

I’ll keep creating.

I’ll keep showing up.

Because I’ve found something I believe in.

And I’m not done yet.

This is my dharma.

What’s yours?

PS. If you haven't found yourself yet - there is no rush or pressure. Maybe you'll find it tomorrow?

13/09/2026

Have you ever had a vision that you simply couldn’t let go of?

Even when you were the only one who could see it?

In yoga, dharma is often described as your purpose, your path, or your unique contribution - using your gifts, experiences and values in service of something meaningful.

And I’m so grateful to have found mine.

For me, it’s using yoga to help people improve their health and wellbeing.

Which means the late nights, the extra work, the courses, the trainings, the planning and everything that happens behind the scenes all have a purpose.

They’re part of the vision.

And that vision is Sparkling Soul Yoga becoming a movement that makes yoga more accessible and helps people use it as a tool for better health.

Weekly in-person classes for community & connection

Online yoga, because location shouldn’t be a barrier

Masterclasses for deeper dives into wellbeing

Online retreats, making retreat accessible in your own space

One-off experiences - from vineyards to Sydney Harbour

And an in-person retreat coming in 2027

And behind the scenes?

More training. More learning. More exploring.
An Airbnb experience listing. Another restorative teacher training. And next year, my big goal - 300-hour YTT.

Because I want to keep growing so I can serve you better.

Every course. Every training. Every early morning. Every late night.

It’s all for you.

I don’t know exactly where this vision will take us.

But I know I’m on the right path.

And right now…

it’s full steam ahead.

I’m incredibly grateful to have found my dharma.

What’s yours?

JUST MOVE. 

How do you move your body?

I usually walk at least once a day and, of course, practise yoga asana.

But today I did something a little different… and it was SO much fun. 

A little while ago, while searching YouTube for pranayama practices, I discovered Saurabh Bothra who started Habuild, a platform focused on improving health and wellbeing.

I’d been practising some of his pranayama videos on YouTube, on and off, for about six months when I noticed a free 14-day offer.

So I signed up.

I thought it was yoga. 

Long story short… it wasn't quite what I expected.

It was a beautiful combination of mobility, yoga, breathwork, chanting, movement and self-love - and it was incredibly soul nourishing.

At one point we walked around like we were heading off to school with a spring in our step.

And then came the instruction: “The most important part of this pose is your smile.” 

There was a whole section around self-love.

And honestly, I loved it.

Not because it was complicated.

Not because it was a hard workout.

But because it was different.

It reminded me that sometimes we need to shake things up.

Try something we wouldn't normally try.

Move in a different way.

Play.

Smile.

And perhaps discover something we didn't even know we needed.

Movement doesn't have to look one particular way.

It can be walking.
Yoga.
CrossFit.
Pilates.
Dancing.
Swimming.
Strength training.
Gardening.
Playing with your kids.
Walking the dog.

Just move.

Move in a way that feels good for YOU.

So I'm curious…

👇 How do you like to move your body?

And just as importantly…

WHERE do you move?

🏡 At home
🏋️ At the gym
🧘 At a studio
🌳 Outside
💻 Online
💃 Somewhere completely unexpected!

Tell me below - what's your favourite way to move, and where do you do it?

Maybe we'll give each other some new ideas to try.

If you’re new here, welcome. And if you’ve been here for a while, this is your reminder of why we’re here. 🤍

I’m Kym, the person behind Sparkling Soul Yoga.

Sparkling Soul Yoga is about so much more than yoga.

Yoga is one tool that can bring together movement, strength, mobility, balance, breath, attention and rest.

That is what Sparkling Soul Yoga stands for.

Yoga for every body.
Movement for every stage of life.
Evidence-informed practice.
Mental and physical wellbeing.
Healthy ageing.
Inclusion.
Accessibility.

And I don’t want to call us a little community anymore. Because we’re not little. We are a movement.

People choosing movement.
People choosing health.
People choosing to invest in their future selves.

This is Sparkling Soul Yoga.

And we are just getting started. ✨

You don't have to have it all figured out. 

You don't need to know exactly where you're going.

You don't need to have the perfect plan.

You don't need to be the strongest, calmest, healthiest or most organised version of yourself today.

Sometimes, all you need to do is take the next step.

One breath.
One choice.
One moment of kindness towards yourself.

Life isn't a straight line. There will be days when you feel strong and days when simply getting through the day feels like enough.

Both matter.

And perhaps the beautiful thing about growing older isn't having all the answers...

It's learning to trust yourself a little more.

To listen to your body.
To honour what you need.
To let go of what no longer serves you.
To stop comparing your journey to someone else's.

You are allowed to be a work in progress.

You are allowed to take your time.

And wherever you are today, you are enough to begin again. 

Take a breath.

Feel your feet beneath you.

And take the next small step.

Joy isn't just a nice feeling. Your body and brain pay attention to it. 

We often think of joy as something that happens to us - a beautiful sunrise, laughing with a friend, clean sheets, a favourite song.

But experiencing positive emotions may do more than simply make us feel good in the moment.

Research into positive emotions and wellbeing suggests that they can influence how we think, behave and respond to stress.

Joy can broaden our perspective.

Positive emotions can temporarily broaden our attention and thinking, helping us become more open to possibilities, creativity and connection.

Joy gives the brain something positive to pay attention to.

When we deliberately notice moments of pleasure, gratitude or connection, we're practising directing our attention towards what is going well - rather than allowing our attention to be dominated by everything that is wrong or demanding our attention.

Joy and connection go hand in hand

Positive experiences shared with other people can strengthen social connection - one of the important protective factors for mental wellbeing.

Joy can also change how we experience stress

Positive emotions don't make stress disappear. But research suggests they can help broaden our responses and support recovery following stressful experiences.

And perhaps one of the most interesting ideas is this:

We don't necessarily have to wait for something wonderful to happen before we experience joy.

We can become better at noticing it.

The warmth of the sun.

A beautiful song.

A hug.

A delicious meal.

The feeling after moving your body.

A rainbow appearing unexpectedly.

A moment of stillness.

These moments may seem insignificant.

But our wellbeing isn't created only by the big events in our lives.

It's also shaped by the moments we experience again and again.

So perhaps today's practice isn't to find more joy.

It's simply to notice it when it arrives.

Pause.

Take a breath.

Let yourself actually experience the moment.

Because sometimes wellbeing begins with something wonderfully simple: "This feels good.”

What if resetting your life also meant making more room for joy?

We often think a reset means fixing what's not working.

Getting organised.

Catching up.

Being more productive.

Getting back on track.

But what if your reset could also be about asking:

What makes me feel good?
What gives me energy?
What makes me smile?
What do I want more of in my life?

Because joy doesn't have to be earned once everything else is done.

It can be part of the reset.

Maybe it's the first sip of coffee in the morning.

Fresh sheets.

A sunrise.

A walk in the sunshine.

Laughing until your stomach hurts.

Moving your body in a way that feels good.

Or simply having a little time where nobody needs anything from you.

These simple moments matter.

And when life has become a little too full, sometimes we need to pause long enough to remember what actually makes us feel alive, connected and like ourselves again.

That's what Reset & Rise is about.

A chance to step out of the cycle of stress and overwhelm.

To pause.

To breathe.

To move.

To reflect.

To reconnect with yourself.

And to explore what you might need to change - not just to survive your busy life, but to create one that has more space for you, your wellbeing and your joy.

RESET & RISE
Yoga Masterclass for Stress & Overwhelm
Sunday 20 September | 11am
Stretch Yoga, Holland Park

Come as you are.

Leave with a little more space to breathe, a little more clarity about what you need, and perhaps a renewed sense of what makes life feel good.

Because sometimes a reset isn't about doing more.

It's about making room for more of what matters.
