The path forward – Continuing my yoga studies – Online Yoga Classes & Wellness Inspiration

In August 2024 I walked into a beautiful yoga studio. I had decided it was time to move my practice away from home and find the yoga community that I had been craving.

That was the beginning of a new Yoga Teacher Training Journey

Looking back, it feels like fate, it feels like the universe, planets and stars all aligned, because this was exactly where I needed to be! I finished my 200 hour yoga teacher training in December of 2023, yet almost one year later, I still hadn’t managed to teach… and right when I was ready to take that jump to do it and booked myself in a class… Well one week later we lost one of our beautiful dogs. Which halted everything.

But that halt, as heartbreaking as it was, felt like the redirection that I needed. Because from within that pain, I decided that I needed to find a safe space, a yoga community, surround myself with likeminded souls, and pour everything back into my own practice for a while. Take the steps to help me heal.

And here the story begins. I walked into the beautiful Strength with Ease, in Gawler, South Australia.

Within 2 months of starting there, they were advertising yoga teacher trainings under the incredible Yoga Trinity. Including a postgraduate… I don’t know what it was, but everything within me screamed that this was exactly why I was here…

It felt like the right path had just paved itself out in front of me! So, I went for it!

And suddenly you just know, it’s time to start something new and trust the magic of new beginnings.

Fast Forward to February 2025

The journey officially begins. My original 200 hour teacher training was solely online, so I was so incredibly excited for the in person aspect of the Yoga Trinity training.

Overall, it has been the most amazing experience! I really wanted to deepen my knowledge in regressions, progressions, prop usage and bringing more creativity and flexibility into my yoga flows. And so far, this course has brought all of that and so much more! Both the lovely Heather from Yoga Trinity and Trish from Strength with Ease have such amazing ways of explaining things that makes it so easy to understand. Since starting this course, I’ve had so many little moments of details just clicking themselves into place in my mind, things just really starting to connect together and fall into line.

Within this training, I’ve also had the pleasure to study and practice alongside a beautiful, kind and incredibly supportive group of ladies. Who have all come from such different paths and stages of life, but have joined together and connected on this amazing yoga journey.

It really is such a beautiful thing.

A yoga teacher training is such an incredible experience. It isn’t just about learning all there is to learn, it’s also a journey of the self, self awareness, introspection, growth… where you’ll push past your limits and take massive leaps out of your comfort zone, all in such an incredibly, beautiful and supported way.

Our retreat day was especially amazing! We all came together bright and early to practice yoga, studied yoga philosophy and ayurveda and also got to try some lovely ayurvedic meals for breakfast and lunch.

Now, this weekend just gone was our final in person section of the course, which came with such mixed emotions. I am so grateful to have experienced it, and so excited to continue in my online portion of the studies, as well as finally step into my role as a teacher. But, I will also miss our days together as a group. (Thankfully we’ve already booked in a date to come together again to study and practice!)

It was such a beautiful ending to our in person experience though, we were put through an amazing, guided meditation where we plucked the weeds out of our mental gardens and planted new seeds that we are ready to nurture to growth. And we all received these stunning candles to take home, so we can light them anytime and continue our connection within this beautiful, Yoga Trinity community!
