Join me tomorrow for an Autumn Equinox yoga class at Station Park, Wanaka.

It's the time when day and night are equal in length and the start of longer nights and shorter days in the southern hemisphere and shorter nights and longer days in the Northern hemisphere, ( the Spring Equinox).

Focus will be on hip openers and grounding balancing poses. Bring a mat and a block if you have one.

$20 koha requested.

A wonderful day exploring Arthur's Pass and Castle Hill. The vast valleys and towering mountains are stunning.

I'm committed to doing 2000 push ups from 5-27 February with some of my students. All funds raised are to support mental health NZ. Any support is greatly appreciated.

I am taking on The Push-Up Challenge to raise funds and awareness for mental health. Funds raised will help the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand support mental illness recovery and foster positive mental health outcomes in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Just under a year ago I had my left hip replaced.

This hike to Isthmus peak is a biggie at almost 1200 m elevation and 18kms long. To be able to complete this was a real milestone for me. Its such a beautiful hike with views of both Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea from the top. Thank you to for convincing me to go for the operation. It's been a life changer.

More mountains to come!!

I woke up for a p*e at 2am last night and happened to check my phone. There was a message from a friend to say there was an aurora outside!

I went out onto my street and saw the sky pulsating with light, not as bright as these photos (I did not use a filtre) as our eyes cannot see the spectrum that a camera can. It was incredible to witness. I have lived here for 4 years and this is the first time I have seen such a sky of stars and colours.

So incredibly grateful x

This year for Christmas we decided to make all our presents. I enjoyed the challenge, including this vegan gingerbread loaf with cream cheese icing topped with berries from our garden.

I love Christmas; the songs, the decorations, the traditions, the treats, writing my xmas letter, singing carols in church on Christmas morning.

However you celebrate, I wish you all a very peaceful and joyous holiday season close to those you love. 🎄

I love preloved fashion. How about you?

When The Loft opened in Wanaka last year, I applied to help out. The only problem is my wages are normally spent before I finish my shift!

Drop by and see me today.

This day in 2016 I was doing yoga with friends in the Dubai dunes at sunset. Thank you Mila Tutor for sharing a special memory.

Can you see I'm wearing a santa hat! The christmas season starts on 1st December for me and lasts the whole month.

Is your tree up yet??
