I’m not really one to set NYE resolutions… 😝 but I like to set intentions for the new cycles of course! In light of my focus to prioritise my side hustles and skill sets a little bit more this year and complete my business website! Sooo I’ve been going through my yoga photoshoots for images on my website and I’ve been thinking is an incredible photographer! And I’m so grateful to have her beautiful captured moments.❤️✨

Hey lovely people, ❤️
Haven’t posted for a while, so I thought I’d do a little catch up.
I’m doing really well! The yoga Sanskrit word for it would be ‘Santosha’ which means contentment.
The school terms back and over the holidays I was teaching yoga at a VCE school camp in Falls Creek! it was pretty cool!! Now, I am back to primary school yoga classes and learning assistant work. I have also been working in early childhood centres spreading those little yogi mindfulness practices from yoga. The young ones are pretty funny, and it’s really surprising how quickly they learn my little yoga songs even the toddlers!!
Something really exciting… is that I’ve also started studying Remedial Massage Therapy at 🙌👏 it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a really long time and now I’ve finally put the time and energy into attending night school and making it happen. Woo!
In 18 months I plan to graduate and start treating people ❤️ yeoww it’s extra special because I feel like it blends with my passion for embodiment and yoga really well.
Took a while after lockdowns to get my s**z together but I feel like the ball is definitely rolling and I’m back on my feet again, making things happen and doing the work. ✌️😌
P.S I think a light-hearted wine and yoga workshop is coming up in the future and it’s a really fun class I’m creating with wine tasting and the beauty of slowing down with yoga, 🤭😉 for adults only of course! 😝
P.P.S I will be running teens yoga each morning in the Maidens tent at coming up ! So let me know if you will be attending and circle in my workshop 💗💜❤️
That’s all for now folks,
Happy Saturday Night xo

Cutest job in the whole wide world 🌍
19/05/2022
Keeping very busy with school yoga workshops and general work. Sometimes feeling a bit burnt out, sometimes feeling very on purpose.
Teaching 4 yoga lessons a week to the 5-9 year olds at Casey Grammar School and working with 2 early childhood centres twice a week to bring mindfulness into the curriculum for 0-5 year olds.
Lots of singing!
Lots of dancing!
Intros to breath work- Body work- and meditation!
And filling up their mindfulness tool belts,
Encouraging labelling of their emotions and feeling safe to know how to react to them.
Lots of games!
Lots of underwater imagination adventures!
Lots of sillinesses!
And extra amounts of empathy!
//We grow through what we go through.\\
It’s easy to forget how specialised I am in this area, and for someone that’s studied personal development for over 15 years, completed 3 yoga courses and taught children yoga for 10 years; I still have so many moments of feeling inadequate or ‘not positive enough’ or the worst one of them all… imposter syndrome. 😵😵😵
All funny little reminders of the flowing highs and lows of our self esteem.
And! really good reminders to keep me human, keep me real, keep me humble, and widen my empathy range.
But one awesome thing about working with young people, is that they’re very honest with you!!😜
They will tell you what they thought of your class. It’s an absolute joy to see them skipping out of the yoga room saying things like ‘yoga is their favourite class’ or ‘I want to be a yoga teacher like you when I grow up Miss Doyle’ or ‘I was looking forward to your relaxations Miss Doyle’. (Direct quotes from today 🥹)
Or maybe it’s the moments I see their little eyelids rest and watch a very mindful group of young people relax and feel peace in what can feel like a very stressful world sometimes.
I’m so grateful for what my students teach me.
It’s so nice to know the philosophies I’ve dived into are useful for the modern world,
And I feel a full circle when I see eager little yogis starting their very own journeys with mindfulness because I have introduced it to them.
It’s a very special job.
And I do feel privileged to get to do it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
