Yakoa Yoga With Carly

Sometimes we just have to stop.

Feel our feet on the ground.
Take a breath (maybe three)
And remember we are here, now, in this moment.

We practise yoga on our mats so we can practise in the wild. So we remember to pause long enough to actually notice and enjoy the beautiful, sometimes chaotic moments of our lives.

This is yoga too.

Feeling our feet on the ground.
Enjoying the chaos.
Noticing the moon.

This is yoga too.

The mess can wait
Watching the waves roll in
Dancing (with my Pa 🥰)

Not everything needs to get done right now.

We can slow down for a minute, notice what’s right in front of us and enjoy these moments.

A little more of this, I reckon ✨

Like I’m overthinking sharing this post 🫠
Sometimes we just gotta do it anyways. A little bit scared, a little bit brave.
If you’ve been thinking about trying yoga, you’re welcome at Yakoa. Flexibility optional😜

Looking forward to sharing a gentle yoga practice by the Dhungala in the Port of Echuca as part of Festival of Stories.

Think gentle movement, breath and rest, with time to slow down and take in the beautiful place where we’re gathering, beside the river on Yorta Yorta Country.

How does the river hold meaning for you?

📍 Port of Echuca, on the grass by the historic wharf
🗓 Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 October
⏰ 7.30–8.30am

Sometime we have to stop. Sometimes we choose to. Either way it’s a chance to slow down, take a breath and be exactly where we are.

This is yoga too.

September at Yakoa Yoga in Echuca

Spring is here, but it doesn’t happen all at once. And we don’t have to either.

A new month of our usual classes, with a little space to move, breathe, unwind and come back to yourself.

Plus Sunday Deep Rest on 27 September.

See you on the mat

Someone honked me twice this morning on the school run for not driving quickly enough.

I dropped the f-bomb. 😬

Don’t honk me. I could have a pavlova on the front seat on the way to morning tea (I didn’t).

I’ll take the break when I’m good and ready, thanks. But I started to feel rushed.

I took a breath, kept driving, and didn’t think about it again.
And then I thought about why I practise yoga.

To notice when I’m triggered.
To take a breath.
To choose what happens next.

We don’t always get it right.

It’s a practice.

This is yoga too.

For the record, the cuppa in the photo is not from this morning 😂

Slowing down is yoga too.

Lingering at the flower market.
Reading because you can.
Not driving off without your coffee 😬

Little moments in the wild to pause, long enough so we can come back to ourselves. To this breath. To this body. Here. Now.

This is yoga too.

Yoga doesn’t just happen on the mat.

This little series about the moments out in the wild.

The everyday moments when we remember to take a breath or unclench our jaw. When we feel our feet on the ground and choose to come back to ourselves.

Because this is yoga too.
