WA Karratha and Port Hedland YogaFit highlights

What a fantastic 3 Day YogaFit Detox Challenge in Karratha  and 1 Day event Port Hedland success.

It was my 5th year returning to Karratha this year. What a growing and unique remote town filled with such grounded an sincere people.  I am blessed to experience this harsh and fascinating climate and meet some wonderful people.

Each time I visit the groups have grown and I have been blessed to get to know many Mum's and career driven women and this  unique community to a deeper level. 

Because of the success and growth of the sessions, it has made it easier for me to return each year  with confidence, to offer  more of what I believe is a natural and timeless practice to help increase  health, fitness and leave people inspired to continue to create healthier and positive changes to mind, body and life. 

Many people in Karratha live busy lives and juggle it all. The 3 Day Yoga Challenges were designed for people, to take that time out of your everyday life to stop, reflect, feel and enjoy some stillness.

By incorporating strong postures and beginner level yoga to help unleash energy and create more space in the mind and body it has made a easy to access Retreat for all levels.  With the goal in mind helping to open joints, heart and body to remove the stagnant energy so you can feel a surge of motivation, inspiration and complete detox for mind and body, flushing unwanted toxins from your body. 
I also work with a strong focus around body alignment, injuries,  breath and chakra balancing to heal and realign the physical body and fragmented mind.

The 3 Days was a real achievement for the  participants who took part. Everyone showed such focus and concentration in each session. Attending two sessions a day is not easy and took commitment, dedication and  a positive strong mindset not to negotiate, not coming!

The Power of Living Raw Book sold out on the trip, along with leaving many participants my Yoga DVD.  Leaving the locals the book and DVD as  a tool for them to continue Yoga and helping to give people inspiration and motivation to increase RAW intake and make change easy. This is an ancient  way of living and something I practice and value highly.  This way of life heal, rejuvenates the soul, ignites your dreams and goals and increases your happiness while decreasing your stress levels. 

Over the past 5 years of visiting Karratha, I ask myself if this is the last trip? I am very excited to know I will be returning next year and can't wait to do it all over again with WA, Karratha and Port Hedland. It's the people of Karratha why I return each year. They show appreciation and gratitude and I can see and feel how much their minds and body gain form the weekends. Living in a remote area is not easy and many people their miss what they use to have in their every day life from living in a bigger city.  Even if that was their usual Yoga Studio.

Thank you Karratha for opening you heart to me and bringing me back each year! I can't wait to do it all over again with YOU!

HIGHLIGHTS 

Friday night Power of Raw Seminar,  was well supported and  so much fun speaking about what I believe to be a very powerful way of living in mind, body, soul, preventive health and healing.

A great interactive night with lots of sharing and setting intentions around their health and vitality goals. 

Girls in PINK!

It was a great pleasure to have the ladies arrive in pink and raise money for Breast Cancer, a charity many of us are touched by from losing someone to Breast Cancer or Cancer. Thank you ladies for adding some meaning, spirit and fun  to this practice on the 3 Day Challenge.

I even had the right colour on that day and got to finally meet cute Charlie, who is the son of one of my special loyal Yoga followers of 5 years Jo Humphrey.

I finally got to meet Yolanda, one of my How to be a Happier mum book fan from 2010 who lives in WA and also Leila  from Port Hedland who both bought their books along to be signed, it was lovely to meet you happy mums in person and connect.

Port Hedland Road Trip

The 3 day Karratha weekend Yoga was very intense with teaching 4 sessions a day plus, private one on one coaching sessions and the seminar, so the drive out of Karratha into open land and red dirt was well appreciated and most relaxing. With a great driver Sonia, along with her calm and zen energy we got to enjoy a peaceful road trip, rejoice in the Karratha success, snacking on our raw food treats, admiring the open space and quietness.

We did notice a few wild fires in the distance and were quietly grateful they were not stopping us on our way to facilitate the 1 Day YogaFit Workshop. On the way home it was a different story.
After a great day spent with the ladies of Port Hedland, who showed such passion  and hungry for change by exploring Yoga and the holistic philosophy, we were stopped with a road block from the wild fires. They had spread through out the day.
Initially I was wondering where the fire engines were! But learning about the 'harsh' climate they live in, they simply allow the fires to burn out and make sure the roads are safe enough to drive through. We were held up for just over 2 hrs and then set on our way back to Karratha for the early flight out the next day back home to Sydney. Wild fires in the heat of summer were a norm and part of their life, they react to it in a calm way and connect to Mother nature that all will be well and attach no drama around it as long as the people are safe and the fire is not near buildings. All was well and we patiently waited until all was clear.

I wanted an adventure so I enjoyed the stop and time we had to reflect and connect to this land.  So why wouldn't I get out of the car and practice some Yoga on this amazing earth! We got to see the sunset and it was a beautiful serene quiet time.

Looking forward to returning to Port Hedland February and Karratha later  in 2015.

The healing Power of Living RAW

Today's Healing food is Mango as they are in full abundance for our down under SUMMER!

I personally believe you feel the power of natures way when you FULLY align yourself to it. 

Let's say you are eating RAW and healthy but you still drink alcohol, party hard, eat sugar, and still have those packaged and processed foods that are keeping the Medical World ALIVE and abundant.

I value Doctors and Health care as there is a need for medical services when it comes to accidents and unfortunate illness in children and babies. 

I do believe if you are an adult and herby you have an opportunity to really heal your body and use this preventative way of health and living to extend your life, longevity noisy vitality, happiness and live with more  optimistic attitude 

through the power of living RAW! But you do need to make sure you are getting nutrient dense foods and high in IRON, protein, calcium, vitamins and nutrients. 

A varied in season diet is the way to go. 

Mangos are in season and did you know how powerful and healing a mango really is besides tasting extreme sweet and yummy!

Mango Health Benefits 

1.  Prevents Cancer: 

Research has shown antioxidant compounds in mango fruit have been found to protect against colon, breast, leukemia and prostate cancers. These compounds include quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methylgallat, as well as the abundant enzymes.

2.  Lowers Cholesterol

3.  Clears the Skin

4.  Eye Health

5.  Alkalizes the Whole Body:

6. Improved Sex: 

Mangos are a great source of vitamin E. Even though the popular connection between sex drive and vitamin E was originally created by a mistaken generalization on rat studies, further research has shown balanced proper amounts (as from whole food) does help in this area.

7.  Improves Digestion: 

Papayas are not the only fruit that contain enzymes for breaking down protein. There are several fruits, including mangoes, which have this healthful quality. The fiber in mangos also helps digestion and elimination.

Why wouldn't you eat Mango's this summer? Because I know someone may tell you it's too high in sugar! Nature provides us with a new season of nutrient dense food. Rather than dieting and cutting things out line RAW healthy fresh fruit try adding back in more RAW and in season foods that maybe your body is craving!

SO DID YOU SET A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION FOR 2014?

SO DID YOU SET A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION FOR 2014? How are you going? Can you believe the year is nearly over?

Have you ACHIEVED your Goals this year? Well It's NEVER too late? Be inspired today to ignite your goal.

1. Ask yourself:

What worked well for me this year?

2. Next, ask yourself:

What would you like to improve in 2014? You only have 11 weeks. So get really clear and make it achievable and a realistic goal for this time frame.

3. Then, ask yourself:

What is the one thing I would like to master in 2014?

4. DECIDE what you're committed to achieving- here are a few areas you may want to look at to work out what one goal you can work with between now and Christmas.

What do you want in these 9 areas of your life?

1.  Happiness / Well being

2.  Freedom (including holidays, breaks,retreats,travel etc)

3.  Spiritual/Mental

4.  Education/Development

5.  Relationships (self and others)

6.  Health and Fitness

7.  Career

8.  Finance

9.  Family

5. Write your goals down - on just ONE PAGE

Then once this has been done spend a moment expanding your thinking by stretching your imagination out to the end of 2014 to see which achievements are going to make you feel most fulfilled. 

Tips 

Look at your goal everyday. Write it in your journal, mirror, and use visualisation daily. You have to believe in yourself you can achieve this goal to make it a reality. 

You may have seen my daughters in  Yoga postures this week! They have been practicing yoga on and off, taken to classes and surrounded by yoga since they were in my tummy, Lucia use to come to Sunday Yoga at St Lenard's Fitness First with my every weekend when she was only 5. Sydney Yoga lovers may have seen both of them in Brookvale Bikram, Neutral Bay Power Living and over the years around Fitness First. What is inspiring and a  joy to see is her postures these days looking natural to her body, their stillness in their mind and practising the yoga without me asking them or assisting them.

 The moral of this story is everything in life takes practice and repetition, and whether you may find it hard at the beginning starting something new, it becomes a healthy habit when you preserver and persist without judgement and attachment. My girls often don't want to do their Yoga, but they always thank me after and I know in my heart they will use this practice in their adult life when they need it. We can not escape problems, challenges and obstacles in life, but we can change how we react to them, respond and take action. Step up to your life, your goals and if you really have a burning desire in your heart to achieve greatness or a goal that has been floating up around the clouds, bring it down and make it a reality by making one simple step towards it today.

Goal setting is a big part of my programs, workshops, coaching and retreats. It is a process and it does require like anything, some hard work, discipline, focus and commitment.

eg;

If I want a six pack, I can make it happen, but I do know I will have to change some habits, step up to extra training, commit, believe and visualise. So what is your goal? Let me know by following my Facebook and staying connected. I want kill myself in doing it but I will commit, believe and maintain balance and health in amongst any goal.

What is your goal? Check out my 'YES YOU CAN DO IT!' inspiration.

                                           'Yes you can do it habits'

What is your goal? Are you working on something over spring time. Now is the perfect time to get motivated and inspired, with spring time in the air and summer near. Setting a goal is one thing, believing in yourself is another but practising the power of thought is EVERYTHING. 

These steps are something you can apply to your life everyday to create positive and healthy habits.   
            
Be daring, ‘Yes You Can Do it”

• Next time you look in the mirror, say something POSITIVE about yourself. Stop focusing on the faults, look for what is beautiful and positive about YOU and your amazing BODY
• Show appreciation for someone’s point of view. Say something like. ‘Hey that is a great idea’ 
• Think of a personal belief you may have about your self.  Eg. ‘I am not good enough’ 'I don't have the resources!' Now repeat the belief in a positive affirmation. “I am great at what I do.’ ‘Yes I can do it’'I have more than enough!'
• Think of your ‘Circle of influence’ The people you kick around with. Do they add to your dreams and goals and support yo in what you do, or do they detract.
• Think of someone a friend, or loved one who has been acting out of character lately, consider what that person might be going through, show compassion and love.
• When you have nothing to do, what occupies your mind? Make a list. List all your dreams and goals. The power of thought is more powerful than we realise. What occupies my time and energy?...........................................................................................
• Golden rule, treat others how you would like to be treated yourself. Don’t be impatient, complain about others, or bad mouth someone, unless you want the same treatment back in return. What we think we attract. Get aligned, mind, body and soul!
• Sit in a quiet place alone. Think about what matters to you. Write it down. There is power in writing down your goals. 
• Listen to the lyrics of music that inspires you. Evaluate if they are in harmony with the principles you believe in. There is power in every vibration we surround ourselves and what we think, creates a vibration out to the universe. 
• Work hard ethic! Go the extra mile. Where is your FOCUS?  When you serving someone, helping someone, or maybe delivering a project or in your day to day work force, try going the extra mile and do more than expected. This principle will get you far in life.
• Next time you hit an obstacle or a hard situation and don’t know what to do? Sit quietly, find some stillness, surround yourself around nature and connect to your higher self, call it your guides, intuition, God, Shiva, divine energy, and  ask yourself ‘What principle should I apply here? Honesty, Unconditional Love, Loyalty, Hard work, Patience, Trust?' Now follow the principle and don’t look back.

Easier said than done sometimes! Right? I get it, however the real key to creating new habits and a new MINDSET is REPETITION. It is just like my daily Yoga Practice often I do the same posture over and over again, until I feel and see a 'Break through' Never give up, keep moving forward and know our life journey is a journey to be enjoyed, rather than feeling like and ongoing struggle. Often people are about to hit greater success, it can be just around the corner, but you give up before allowing the success to follow, remember the Yes I can do it, that is what will get you over the line.

I created the 10 Week online program to assist people with a new way of thinking, a new way of eating and a new way of living, awhile new paradigm. The program teaches you to surround yourself with nature and align your food, mind and body back to what nature always intend for you. A healthy, flexible, open mind and body, filled with harmony, peace, energy, vitality. It is a program to lead you to inner health and vitality and yes you may lose a kilo or two along the way. 

After many years of researching the brain and the power we have to link our mind and body together to effect the life we lead is becoming more and more vital in today's rapidly changing world. 

End struggle, ignite your inner strength and power to adapt a YES I CAN DO IT attitude today by following the simple yet effective habits.
