Jo Moloney Yoga

Every Monday morning at Kakowan Community Facility Bunya is wonderful, but this morning there was extra sparkle. 💫
Yoga + ☕️ + chats (and quite a few hugs today) = the best start to the week. 💙

Ever felt like you're being watched?
Well, it was Zoom yoga, so I expected some 👀 on me, but I had no idea Ollie was watching intently from the sideline!

Thanks, Ollie, for permission to share, I hope you enjoyed the class. 🧡

What an honour to have this pretty kitty on my mat this morning. She's quite a shy one, but I even got a couple of pats in. 🥰 She's an experienced yogi, with reclined twists being one of her favourite asanas.

Over the last few years, I've seen lots of pets join their people on or near the mat for Zoom yoga, which is how this covid kitty started out. Have you got a furry friend who likes to practise yoga with you?

True. But best of all, just one class a week will help. 🥰

Fair warning.

For those who read with curiosity about my 'fork in the road', I'm delighted to say I'll be teaching Vinyasa (Beginner Friendly), 6.15pm on Wednesday nights, at Relax Yoga,, Chermside West.

I'm not new to Relax Yoga, I've been teaching there on Thursday nights for almost two years, and I love it! 🩵 It's a small, community minded studio with a wonderful teaching team and lovely yogis, plus it has all the props! If you're keen to join me for a class, from this week you can come Wednesday at 6.15pm or Thursday at 6pm (also Vinyasa - Experience Preferred). Both are 60 minute classes.

If you're new to Relax Yoga, find out more about the studio here https://www.relaxyoga.com.au/ and claim your Introductory Offer - a 4 Class Pass for just $39. 😍

I'm looking forward to seeing some of my JMY regulars at Relax, and meeting some new yogis, too.

BIG news...
At 7pm on Wednesday 14 October, 2015, as a newly minted (and very nervous) yoga teacher, I taught a yoga class from a hired space in Mitchelton. I wasn't sure anyone would turn up, but they did. Still, if anyone had told me I'd be teaching that Wednesday night class for more than ten years 🔮 I wouldn't have believed them. I've never done anything for that long before. However, that's exactly what happened.

So, it was with mixed emotions 🥹 that last night, I taught my last 7pm Wednesday night class in Mitchelton, at Our Lady of Dolours Church Community Centre. It was wonderful to have so many regular yogis there, sharing time, space and energy. 😊

To everyone who's joined me at this class over the years - in the room, and via Zoom! - I've valued your presence and enjoyed teaching and getting to know you a little, or a lot. I've learnt from you, and laughed with you. It's been a deep honour and privilege sharing yoga with you.

To everyone at classes over the last couple of weeks thank you so much for every kind word of support, it's made something that was really, really hard, just a little easier. 💓

I'm not retiring from teaching yoga, or moving away. I'm just taking a fork in the road, and I'm excited about it. So, stay tuned for where to find me on Wednesday nights from next week. 💫

Yoga is not just a few moves on the mat. Yoga is life. 🪷

Yoga doesn’t begin and end on the mat. It shows up in how you move through routines, relationships, caregiving, and change—in how you meet each moment.

To support your practice in the new year, we’re offering a new course with Ketterhagen —a teacher known for his clarity, depth, and lived devotion to yoga’s timeless teachings—that explores how yoga can serve as a steady, grounding presence in everyday life.

Through the lens of tapas (disciplined, purposeful action) and the chakra system, you’ll learn how to work with your energy, shift unhelpful patterns, and grow with clarity and intention.

This is yoga for real life.

The Yoga Teacher Nightmare is real, not gettin any sleep tonight tbh.
