Happy New Year! Live Life with Passion & Positive Energy.


Hi there, 

Can you believe it? Another year gone. Have you taken some time to think ahead to 2017 and set your clear intentions? This is something I do every year and it is so important you do so. Otherwise you can find another year controls you and will go by in a flash and you don't achieve those goals and dreams you think about. Especially being a Mum or Parent. Your time can be so easily consumed by chores and work. I personally believe it is vital to incorporate your hobbies and things YOU love to do in your own life. 

Life is too short for our physical body. Recently I lost 3 beautiful women, who were taken far too young. It makes live life even more on soul purpose, from heart not your head, and continue doing the things you are so passionate about. My heart goes out to their families and children around this time of the year. 

 Please share with me you goals and dreams for 2017, as I would love to hear what you are dreaming about or wanting to return to, or achieve. 
I personally have set my goals, I am scared of this one, but I know it will be all worth it in the end and the journey towards it will pay off and be an enjoyable and challenging one. 


The year is all but done and I'd like to thank you for your fabulous custom over the last year.  
My message is simple 

LIVE life, with PASSION, LOVE unconditionally, eat CLEAN & think POSITIVELY.

I look forward to connecting again next year and really hope you have a fabulous time with your family and friends and that 2017 brings you lots of success.

The New Year is an opportunity to join my next Bikini Mama round. Receive a healthy cook book and two private one on one sessions to help you get started and keep you accountable.


Whats on?

Have you ever dreamed about competing in a Bikini Fitness Competition? Do you dream about completely transforming your body?
Dream no further, make your dream a reality in 2017. 

I am  very excited to offer very limited spots only for a chance to work with me one on one to compete in your very first Bikini Competition. Whether  you are a mum or not, I can help lead you to the stage in 2017. Or transform your body to competition level without having to compete. 

For more information on this opportunity please email me today nickyarthur@icloud.com or text whatsapp 0404755271. I will get back to you straight away to discuss the options and dates to get you started. 




To discuss the private Bikini Competition send me a message so I can organise a phone session to discuss you competition or transformation. 


3 Day YogaFit Detox Retreats coming up soon.

A recent testimonial

Testimonial

So 2016 has been a real 'bitch' in many ways for me - one day I'll share.
But for now the most positive thing that's has happened to me was to loose 4 kilo in two weeks on Nicky's programme. Nicky was very encouraging and has a real 'we can do this attitude'. Before Nicky's programme I had begged my Doctor for a weight loss tablet, she finally caved in and I brought my first months supply $150 - it didn't move a thing in the scales except for my bowel and left me running to the toilet every time I passed wind. It was terrible - I didn't feel any better. Then I started Nicky's juices and I felt energised again, people say I'm glowing and I've shifted 4 kilo. Roll on the next 15 kilo 😉. Thanks Nic - your a super star x

Merry Christmas


 



Wishing you and your family a healthy & happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.



How time flys. It only seemed like yesterday I sat down to do my Christmas 🎄 cards and BOOM it's here again!


I trust 2016 has been a good year and you are ready to welcome a brand New Year 2017. I like the look for 2017! It's always a perfect time in December to set some aside to reflect back on your year. 

The challenges and the accomplishments. We all experience times in our life of Joy, Love, happiness and we can experience loss of a loved one, change, and challenges. 


I certainly had a fun whirlwind year with re branding my new Bikini Mama Online program and returning back to the competition stage. This time I didn't take it quite so serious and tried to have fun. I loved having my girls with me to share the experience this time around. 


My favorite quote "Where the mind goes, the body will folllow." 

It is so true. I couldn't believe how quickly I could get my physical body back to competition level and come away with more medals in my mid forties. 


The body has incredible muscle memory, and getting old doesn't necessarily mean we need to allow our physical body to get old and achy! 




Competing in my mid 40's was exhilarating and just goes so in line with everything I personally believe about how incredible our physical body and MIND is.


There are certain tools and techniques to learn, that is exactly what you learn onnmy Bikini Mama 10 week mind body transformation. 


I am very  excited to be holding more 3 DAY YOGFIT DETOX RETREATS throughout Australia & New Zealand, and continue my healing retreats in Bali.


Bali, and Fivelements Healing Centre is the perfect location for re aligning your body back to its natural state of health & vitality.



I hope you can set some time aside to reflect and enjoy looking through my raw vegan recipes I have selected for CHRISTMAS 🎉 CELEBRATION.



Merry Christmas

KOMBUCHA TEA

Home Made Kombucha Tea

 

The perfect time, environment and space came available for me to finally perfectly make my own Kombucha tea. I'm so incredibly excited! It taste amazing and  now I'm sharing it with my clients on the retreats! 

Known as the “Immortal Health Elixir” by the Chinese and originating in the Far East around 2,000 years ago, kombucha is a beverage with unlimited  health benefits.

Kombucha is a fermented beverage of black tea and sugar. ( note white sugar is best recommend for best results) 

It contains a colony of bacteria and yeast that are responsible for initiating the fermentation process once combined with sugar. After being fermented, kombucha becomes carbonated and contains vinegar, b-vitamins, enzymes, probiotics and a high concentration of acid (acetic, gluconic and lactic), which are tied with the following effects:

  • Improved Digestion
  • Weight Loss
  • Increased Energy
  • Cleansing and Detoxification
  • Immune Support
  • Joint Pain
  • Cancer Prevention

The sugar-tea solution is fermented by bacteria and yeast commonly known as a SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast). I have made my first few batches with black tea but kombucha can also be made with green tea too.

 

One your Kombucha is ready it will have a fizz to it, can be drank on its own or added to ginger, lemon grass or today I made ROSELLA tea to give it a beautiful pink colour and sweet sensuous taste.

ASHTANGA opening mantra


 


My next challenge is to learn the opening mantra for ASHTANGA YOGA.

I have practiced YOGA for 18 years now, my practice began with an ASHTANGA YOGA teacher in my small  home town Dunedin, New Zealand. It was in a very daggy room, with sneaky stairs up to the yoga space. There was a tin at the door, for your donation, recommended $8.00 per class, if yuh could afford it, I use to leave $10 because I felt that this $10 pr day was the best spent money all day, to give back to my body I was clearly thrashing at the time. Running hair salons, gym junkie, self hate to my own body & busy mind. 
I didn't tell many people back in those days where I went and what I was doing, it was something I discovered for myself that helped me heal and find self love & acceptance. 
Also the postures excited me coming from a gymnastic and competitive back ground. 

At that time of my life I travelled a lot for my work and my husbands work, I was fortunate to try all sorts of classes & yoga styles all around the world. From ASHTANGA, ANUSARA, HATHA, IYENGAR, BIKRAM. The yoga I practiced right up until the hour before I gave birth to my first baby was ASHTANGA vinyasa. I practiced a lot of headstands knowing it was beneficial to my growing baby and keeping my fluid retention under control with pregnancy. 

Yoga for me became my life tool, my daily hygiene, my practice like cleaning my teeth, if I didn't practice I didn't feel right. 

But why has it taken so long to get back to ASHTANGA? I feel like I have returned home again, been away on a journey of learning, but know I as a teacher have to take time out of my life to LEARN EVOLVE & GROW again. 

I'm blessed & grateful to find a great mentor, one I can trust and one who can take me deep into the postures, one who cares so much about his own students bodies to find out what, needs  to happen to open the tightness in my hips. I'm so excited to unleash this tightness, in ready to feel what it will feel  like to have such open hips. I have had enough I accepting it's going to take a life time. Like my body building mentality, if you visualize and commit to it enough magic happens. 


Now to learn this mantra 6 weeks to achieve a CHANT rather than a Mumble. 


Om

Vande Gurunam Charanaravinde

Sandarshita Svatma Sukava Bodhe

Nih Sreyase Jangalikayamane

Samsara Halahala Mohashantyai

Abahu Purushakaram

Shankhacakrsi Dharinam

Sahasra Sirasam Svetam

Pranamami Patanjalim

Om

Translation

om

I bow to the lotus feet of the Supreme Guru

which awaken insight into the happiness of pure 

Being,

which are the refuge, the jungle physician,

which eliminate the delusion caused by the poisonous 

herb of Samsara (conditioned existence).

I prostrate before the sage Patanjali 

who has thousands of radiant, white heads (as the 
divine serpent, Ananta)

and who has, as far as his arms, assumed the form of a man

holding a conch shell (divine sound), a wheel (discus 

of light or infinite time) and a sword (discrimination). 

om

Ashtanga Yoga Closing Chant

The Closing Prayer brings the practice to a 

peaceful end; sealing in the work done & 

offering the efforts of our practice to improve 

the state of the world. 

Om

Svasthi Praja Bhyaha Pari Pala Yantam

     Nya Yena Margena Mahim Mahishaha

   Go Brahmanebhyaha Shubamastu Nityam

    Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu

   Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi 

Translation

May the rulers of the earth keep to the path of virtue

For protecting the welfare of all generations.

  May the religious, and all peoples be forever blessed,

  May all beings everywhere be happy and free

   Om peace, peace, perfect peace
