To the year that asked for trust
To the year that required patience
To the year that ensured shedding
To the year that challenged status quo
To the year that demanded growth
To the year that nurtured healing
To the year that held silence
To the year that fostered self belief
To the year that enriched the mind
To the year that calmly said no, thank you
To the year that encouragingly said yes, please
To the year that spontaneously said why not
To the year that delivered new experiences
To the year that nourished heart and soul
To the year that shone brightly at times
To the year that bravely faced the dark
To the year that hoped for peace
To the year that reminded kindness is free
To the year that shared love

THANK YOU from my heart.

Words have somewhat eluded me throughout 2025…Immense life changes giving new meaning to trusting the process and following one’s heart.

To everyone who joined me for yoga, mat Pilates and reformer Pilates throughout 2025, my heartfelt thanks and immense gratitude.

To those who held space and facilitated growth for my mind, body and soul, my heartfelt thanks and immense gratitude.

To my beautiful, beloved family and friends, my heartfelt thanks and immense gratitude.

May the new year of 2026 take the foundations and lessons of 2025 to continue the peaceful path of being a part of something so wonderful, magical and truly brilliant.

Happy New Year beautiful souls. Blessings always. See you in early 2026. Namaste 🙏❤️ by @emmabrownyoga

The other side ~
A return to self;
Hearing and honouring the deep sense of knowing;
Devotion to what is already known and open to discovering what is yet known;
Forever the student - practising, listening, observing, reading, silence;
Trust in the shifts and shedding;
Peace and loving kindness to all 🙏

Immense gratitude and thanks to all for this opportunity to immerse and embrace the magnificence of Mother India and her divine spirit. Namaste ❤️🙏🪷 by @emmabrownyoga

This morning I woke to this sunrise; a glowing light sparking immense joy, knowing it’s now only hours until a return to Mother India. In October 2013, I was most fortunate to travel to New Delhi for the first time as part of an incredible life experience, volunteering as part of a program offered by my employer. I knew it would be life changing but little did I know to what extent. While wrapped up in Her divine energy and loving heartbeat, I realised my own hearts desire to complete my yoga teacher training once back home. Just over 12 years later, thanks to some divine gorgeous yogis, I’m returning. A pilgrimage of sorts, a retreat; forever the student on a path of devotion, discovery, learning, peace and love. Beyond grateful for this opportunity to immerse once more in the magnificence of Mother India. 🇮🇳❤️🙏 by @emmabrownyoga

2024 has been an interesting year. One full of superb magical moments both on and off the mat with my beautiful yogis, family and friends both here in Oz and overseas. As I reflect today and share this photo from 2015, it’s ten years since I completed my first level of yoga teacher training. Most recently I’ve added Pilates Mat and Reformer teaching to my tool kit; the study continues towards my Comprehensive Pilates certification - thank you Carla @body_organics_studios
I am beyond grateful and thankful for my new teaching opportunities and the warmest of welcomes at @formandflowstlucia and @cultivatecalmyogabrisbane
Thank you for your guidance, mentoring and in my case patience Alex @alexandriacrowyoga and our Biz Mentoring Crew; 2025 is looking even more bright and beautiful as our dreams and goals come to life.
It has also been a year of immense sadness at times. Thank you to my dear friends and beautiful family for holding space, providing a safe space to heal and reminding me that dark and light co-exist.

2025 is shaping up to be one of my most exciting and fulfilling to date, a year where life comes full circle and I allow myself to authentically explore new opportunities, experience new adventures and walk my path with truth and purpose like never before. Thank you to each of you for consistently showing up each week, allowing me to share my love of yoga (and now also Pilates) with you and consider the endless possibilities of what it means to truly follow both your head and heart.

May 2025 be a more compassionate and softer year. One with bucket loads of love, laughter, healthiness and authenticity as we live our lives with a greater sense of purpose and love. With immense love, thanks and gratitude always. See you studio side from Tuesday 7 Jan, 2025 🙏🩷✨ by @emmabrownyoga

Thirty years ago, having spent a few weekends cheering from the bank although having never actually rowed, I was asked to join my school’s 1st VIII on one of their training rows, jumping in the boat at the half way point. It was a rather humiliating experience as I simply couldn’t row. Little did I know in those few red-cheek moments, my life would take an unexpected turn, with rowing becoming a mainstay and enormous part of my life; thirty years worth.

A month or so later I made the First VIII much to the surprise (and disgust) of most including me. A couple of months later again, we won the Head of the River. After school, rowing continued to absorb my life, from countless hours of training and competing to a few spent coaching, celebrating and governing; the rest they say is history. Throughout these times, thanks to numerous opportunities aka thirty years, me and my name has been celebrated and disparaged. It comes with the territory of literally growing up in a high performance sporting environment; success, disappointment, leadership and endless life experiences of which some have been wonderful and some less so.

I’m sharing this story and these photos as never in a million years did I ever think such a honour would be bestowed. Thank you Toowong Rowing Club for being my second family since 1994 and not only honouring my rowing career but my years of volunteering and advocating for the many wonderful athletes both here in Queensland and Australia wide, especially our female athletes and administrators. Thank you to my fellow rowers including my former husband, my coxswains, my coaches and the administrators for some truly memorable and forgettable moments both on and off the water. Thank you to my non-rowing friends for your patience, understanding and ongoing friendships. Thank you to my treasured yoga community for embracing my rowing and the opportunity for rowing and yoga to mingle for magical moments both on and off the mat. Thank you to my beautiful family for your unconditional love and unwavering support through the many highs, the in between times and the many lows. Here’s to the next thirty years and the joys they will bring. by @emmabrownyoga

After 12 years, today marks my final day as a Director on the Board of Rowing Queensland. As the second female to join the Board way back when (thank you Pete S), the first ever female Queensland Councillor for Rowing Australia and a founding member of Allies for Women in Rowing, these ten memories show it’s been, for the most part, an incredibly enjoyable experience; one I’m immensely thankful and grateful for. To my wonderful fellow Directors both past and present, the dedicated, hard-working staff at Rowing Queensland, the fabulous members of Toowong Rowing Club, the committed members of Allies for Women in Rowing, the rowing communities here in Queensland and interstate, the Famous Five (you know who you are) and last but not least my wonderful family and friends, thank you for the laugh out loud moments, the many fabulous memories, the opportunity to serve and give back to the great sport of rowing and most importantly your unwavering support. To be part of the change that has seen more women in positions of leadership within rowing makes me so proud. Let’s continue to work together so our voices are heard and our presence felt for all especially our younger members. Very much looking forward to representing Queensland at my final RA AGM late May before handing over the keys.
