Wandering Within

2025 was a year of change. I slowly stopped teaching my regular yoga classes and begun focusing on my ceramic practice and our family business.
I am missing all those who came regularly to my classes. For some, it was years and years of showing up every week, sometimes 4 times a week!
As another year begins, I want to say again, thank you for your love, dedication to the practice and your support.
I am still teaching 1 class a week at Stayfit 24/7
AND I am about to start a morning class. A gentle body awareness class for beginners.
Let me know if you’re keen to join. x

A little about this piece. Would love feedback. 😁

THE ROLE OF STILLNESS IN UNREMARKABLE ATTACHMENTS�by K Giacomeeli, Acting Curator of Indeterminate Objects

The relationship between Blibberwurkus minor and Monstrum placidus simplex resists traditional classification. Early attempts to frame the attachment as parasitic, mutualistic, or symbolic were abandoned due to a lack of cooperation from the subjects.
The Blibberwurk does not appear to benefit.�The monster does not appear to suffer.�Both persist.
This pairing invites viewers to reconsider the assumption that relationships require purpose, improvement, or visible exchange. In this case, proximity seems sufficient. The monster stands. The Blibberwurk remains. No escalation occurs.
It is tempting to interpret this as commentary on patience, boundaries, or emotional labour. The museum advises restraint. The evidence supports only one conclusion: neither participant has objected.
We consider this a success.

Mums and bubs yoga starting soon.

Side Plank, or Vasisthasana, is one of those poses that looks simple but demands full-body strength, focus, and balance. It fires up the core, shoulders, and legs, challenging you to stay steady while everything in you wants to tip over. Mentally, it’s all about focus—if your mind drifts, so does your body—so it’s a great way to practice staying present and trusting yourself. Spiritually, this pose is about finding the sweet spot between grounding and expansion—rooting down through one hand while reaching open through the other, like a reminder to stay strong but also open to possibility. In our next session, we’ll take this idea further, exploring how effort and ease show up in other poses, like balancing postures and heart openers, so we can carry that same sense of trust and steadiness both on and off the mat.

See you Wednesday 6:30pm Bligh Park.

My Love-Hate Relationship with Wheel Pose / Urdhva Dhanurasana

Ah, Wheel Pose—the ultimate backbend that some people can’t get enough of, and others… well, would rather skip altogether. If you’ve ever felt both excitement and dread when it comes to this pose, you’re not alone.
There’s something about Wheel that just brings things up—physically, emotionally, even mentally. Some days, it feels expansive and exhilarating, like your whole body is waking up. Other days, it feels like an impossible battle against tight shoulders, stubborn hip flexors, or a back that just doesn’t want to bend that way.
Why I Love It
Let’s be real—when Wheel Pose feels good, it feels really good. It’s like a full-body energy boost. Your heart is open, your breath is deep, and you might even feel a little victorious just for getting up there.
It’s empowering—there’s something about pressing up into this big, bold backbend that makes you feel strong.
It’s a wake-up call—seriously, after holding Wheel for a few breaths, you’re wide awake. No coffee required.
It can be an emotional release—backbends are heart openers, and sometimes, they help us let go of stress, tension, or even emotions we didn’t realize we were holding onto.
Why I Kind of Hate It
Of course, it’s not always sunshine and rainbows. Some days, Wheel feels like an uphill battle.
It demands a lot—strong arms, open shoulders, flexible hips, a stable core… if any of these areas are tight or weak, Wheel will let you know.
It can feel intense—not just physically, but emotionally. Backbends open the heart, which can make some people feel vulnerable or even anxious.
It’s frustrating when it doesn’t click—if your shoulders feel stuck or your lower back is doing all the work, it’s easy to get discouraged.

Making Peace with Wheel
If Wheel Pose isn’t your best friend yet, don’t worry. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
Warm up well—Bridge Pose, shoulder openers, and hip stretches can make a huge difference.
Modify when needed—blocks under your hands, or even sticking with Bridge Pose can help build confidence.
Breathe through the resistance—sometimes, the hardest part is just staying with it, noticing the discomfort without forcing anything.

And if you don’t love Wheel Pose? That’s okay too. Your practice is about what serves you, not what Instagram says you should be able to do. Keep showing up, keep exploring, and who knows—maybe one day, Wheel Pose will surprise you.
