We are still moving out of summer, however in yoga class at The Herbert Park last Saturday there was evidence of the coming of Autumn. Brown leaves scattered around the ground beneath our mats. Birdsong can still be heard, but the air has a gentle cooler quality. While we have these truly wonderful places to be together if you haven’t done so already join me for yoga outside. Feel like joining me outside in Nature? You can join me for Park Yoga at Herbert Park Saturday at 11am or at Seapoint for beach yoga and perhaps a dip after Wednesday at 7.30pm. Click here to join these classes.

The outdoor classes will continue during Autumn. September’s theme for class both outdoor and on Zoom will be the heart. Moving from the heart, heart opening poses, heart warming mantras, poetry from the heart. In other words lots of stuff to nourish and care for you this Autumn. This Harvest time of year offers us the opportunity to give our thanks to the heart of us all, Mother Earth. Embracing this relationship with our mother allows us to express gratitude for being here.

As I wondered around Airfield Estate last week, Harvest and the bounty of this time of year, the gifts Mother nature gives us are in abundance. In my own garden, the apple tears are laden with fruit, the plums didn’t fair as well this year. The rhubarb is near the end of it’s giving, I loved making rhubarb and apple crumble for the kids. Click here for the recipe I use. Send me an email with some pictures with the fruits of your labour. Our retreat at Airfield Estate is nearly sold out. If you do wish to join us click here.
