Hello everyone 👋

Hello Spring! Hello Eclipse Season! Happy September! Happy Q4! 🌸

Here are some photos from my walk this morning. I hope you basked in sunshine too & carry the yummy glow right into the weekend with you.

I’ve been quietly working away, doing creative things to get Yin Yoga out into more Westside spaces (outside of gyms and Yoga Studios so you’re not always bound by memberships or the sometimes quite high casual rates). My infinite energy for Yin has finally blossomed into lots more classes this month.

Doubling down on my personal practise has been magic lately. The inner clearing has given a juicy turnkey quality… the rapid positive change and healing never falls short of amazing me. How much it can help is up to you 😉

We really need it more than ever, don’t you think? I see autopilot, overstimulation, burnout, distraction and numbing all around. Slow down if you want to speed up, is what I love to live by.

NEW THING #1 – ADDITIONAL WEEKLY SESSION

From next week I’ll be running Monday morning 9:30am Yin classes at The Healing Garden, so you can get 2 classes in every week or switch it up! Rack up those Yin hours & supercharge your connection to self. You won’t recognise yourself after a few months & it’ll be in a good way.

NEW THING #2 – FREE MENTAL HEALTH SESSION

Thursday September 11 is RUOK? Day. Laverton Community Hub will be hosting activities for locals to engage and support their mental health. Positive tools like mindfulness, music, art and breathwork with Kasia will be featured for all to try on the day. I’ll be offering a 30 minute Yin Yoga Class – 15 spots available. The day starts @ 10.00am with Acknowledgement of Country, keynote speaker Liesel Albrecht and will finish with music – a performance from local artist Sello Molefi.

NEWS #3 – RUOK? FUNDRAISER

The Healing Garden team will be hosting a fundraiser for RUOK Day on Saturday 13th & offering a variety of sessions. It’s free to attend, or you can make a donation which goes direct to RUOK? National Suicide Prevention Charity.

Sessions are 45 mins and you’ll need to book:

Make the most of these one-of-a-kind collaborations and try something new. Book in with a loved one ASAP. There are 3 sessions – why not sign up for them all? I’ll be co-guiding the 10am Yoga & Sound Healing with the wonderful Joanne of Healing Soul Whispers.

NEW THING #4 – FREE CLASSES IN BROOKLYN

I’ve been fortunate to secure a spot in Brooklyn Community Hall’s Term 4 Program. I’ll be teaching a few free classes to get a feel for what times work for locals. If any of you live out that way & would come along please let me know what would benefit you.

Anyone wanting to clock up some Yin Time please come too. It’s a big space so there is plenty of room. Bring colleagues, friends, family and neighbours. Click below to book into these 60 minute free classes (BYO mat):

Wednesday 24th @ 5pm
Saturday 27th @ 8am
Sunday 28th @ 5pm (Oracle Readings at 6pm)

NEW THING #5 – ORACLE READINGS

I’m pleased to be adding Oracle Group Readings / Sharing Circles back in! They’ll be sprinkled throughout the calendar at both locations. I’d like to add at least one at the end of every month as an intensional way to give gratitude and tie a bow on the month gone by, and welcome a new cycle in. Plus the best part – strengthen our connection to one another, create a real community bond and get to know your neighbours.

For anyone who has yet to experience an Oracle Reading, reach out and I can share more. It’s a wonderful little gift, nothing too spooky. I’ll aim to align these Readings with Lunar changes for potency. Will keep you posted 🔮✨

Wishing you a sparkly weekend.

Love and gratitude to each of you,
Hong xoxo
