Shadow work became popularised by Carl jung, where he spoke about the repressed part of our personality. “What oneself, as well as others thinks one is, the shadow is that hidden, repressed, and for the most part inferior and guilt-ridden personality whose ultimate ramifications reach back into the realm of our animal ancestors.” Carl Jung….
Today I feel a calling on my heart to talk about how I teach yoga — and why my approach might feel a little different than what you’ve been exposed to in traditional studios or online spaces. One of the things I’ve come to realise over the years is that most people — myself included,…
“Releasing stored energy.” We often don’t let experiences pass through us. Meaning, we might take a small “incident” and store it in our body or subconscious.

Low iron depleted me so badly and I never noticed the symptoms until I got my blood work checked 21 weeks into my pregnancy. I gained weight really quickly in the first trimester, which didn’t happen in my previous two pregnancies. The fatigue never wore off from the first trimester. In fact, it became full…

The ban will see the removal of foods like chocolate, lollies, confectionery, ice-cream, soft drink, processed meats and chips. The idea behind the ban is to eliminate kids exposure to highly…
A gym in NSW has caught headlines this week for enforcing gym attire policies. Camperdown fitness has been copping attention due to its supposedly “strict” dress code – which includes: – women wearing shorts that cover their bum – Sports bras having two straps – no boob tubes or single straps – Men not wearing…
