People start yoga for lots of reasons.

  • To develop strength and flexibility
  • Improve posture and tone
  • Relieve tension and back-ache
  • Build confidence and self-esteem
  • Decrease stress and anxiety
  • Promote focus, balance, and peace of mind

Yoga offers something for everyone no matter what age or fitness level. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, yoga offers new perspectives, greater awareness, and increased self-knowledge, all cultivated breath by breath, on and off the mat.

UPDATE *Five in Five*: How far would YOU go to get out of a date?

Posted on by

Last night I decided to treat myself to Grill’d (again). With only a few days until the end of the Five in Five dating challenge, I thought it would be a really good opportunity to try out my burger shop pick up line. But when I looked around at all the couples and 17 year olds, I decided to tuck that pick up line away for another day.

As I waited for my order I started to contemplate how on earth I was going to get out of doing a dance class with Potential Date #5! Fake a kidnapping?… Break a leg? I came to the conclusion that there was no getting out of it, and the only thing that needed getting out of was my comfort zone.

Friday night was Date #4. This was another completely ‘blind’ date and I think the set-up went something like this…

I told my colleagues that I needed some single eligible bachelors for my Five in Five charity dating challenge. One of those colleagues told her husband. That husband told his colleagues. One of those colleagues told her husband. That husband then told his colleagues. And one of those colleagues said, “That sounds like a job for me”.

UPDATE *Five in Five*: Date #2 Bring your A-Game

On Thursday night, I headed to Victoria Park Golf Course for a game of Putt Putt with Date #2 (which was actually Date #3).

To set the scene… Date #2 had previously worked in my office and left before I started working there. Within a week of finding out I was single, my colleagues were on a mission to set us up. They were convinced we’d make the perfect couple and, despite us having never met, had pretty much planned our wedding and named our first born child…eeeeek! One day he stopped by for a visit and I could see why my colleagues had rated him so highly… he was obviously quite the catch.

Fast forward a few months and here I am in the office, telling the girls I’ve signed up to do Five in Five - Five dates in five weeks with five different peo… I hadn’t even finished explaining it and my colleague Gai had already emailed Date #2 the details. He was in.

Date #1 *check*

Last night I had my first date for Five in Five. It’s been a while since I’ve been on a date, and this was my first ever ‘blind’ date, so I was a bit nervous. Okay, maybe I was more than A BIT nervous. My belly was aching, I’d left my favourite lipstick at work (crisis alert!! … could I get there and back and still make it to my date on time?!?!) AND I’d changed outfits a dozen times (and still came back to my original choice). Even the experienced daters do that, right?!
