🎶 Up next at Soundwaves Music Festival! 🎶
You know them, you love them, and they’re back to bring the energy only they can deliver!
They’ve rocked our stage before, they’ve won your hearts, and they’re here to turn the vibes all the way up.

Give it up for our local favourites… the one and only SIMON SHAW BAND! 🔥🎸💥 by @tiaan_ace

the thinker 🤔

As term 3 of schools start I’m contemplating the fact that we’re halfway through the year and I’ve essentially had a literal handful of experiences this year!

• gig life
• school teaching
• creative retreat
• wedding
• china

and I’m in love with life 🧡
and I’ve never been so excited for what the future holds

7 shows done in 4 days on 4 instruments 🎻🎷🎸 ... Fatigue is real!

this work from my #mondaymaintenance 2 weeks ago!

I’ve felt myself getting pulled in all sorts of directions in the the last week, and haven’t even posted last week’s session …
But, I can’t wait to do my session this afternoon and share what I’ve been working on in order to get buff 💪🏼 + back to peak playing conditioning!

If you are a clarinet student, DM me for links to my videos and my e-book for MASSIVE tone that is flexible and free 🙆‍♂️

Seeing as it’s officially spring (21/22 Sept is the equinox) it’s high time to do an #icebath 🧊 🥶 💨 ❤️
I’ve been prepping with cold showers, and a couple of ocean lunges 🌊

V/O Edit: I didn’t end up turning my shower to warm 🥵 the cold shower after was amazing enough

NSWF - ‘Nudity’ apparently 😉 I didn’t think being in just speedo-like running trunks would be a problem by @tiaan_ace

I ran my first half marathon yesterday, and here’s what I learnt:

•Sometimes to try something new all you need is a little nudge , a rubber arm, OR a partner in crime! The build-up excitement and that pre-race buzz was electric. Thanks for the nudge, running buddy 🙌🏼 (slide 1 - partner in crime + pre-race buzz 🐝 )

•Everyone is running their own race. Notice how you are with yourself and others along the way. Encourage, Listen, Observe. Learn. (slide 2 - the field for the day) well done @gamtoos_valley_farmrun on your amazing organisation and getting your highest number of entrants this year 🙌🏼)

•Consistent effort and showing up imperfectly is a recipe for your best effort. My preparations were less than ideal, less than planned, and less than imagined, but a modicum of consistent effort carried me through. I felt strong, and mentally tough, and present in every step.
I had an official time of 2:19.19 (slide 3 - race map 🗺️ )

•Move your body best you can. After a steady first 9km’s running tandem with my party (+storing energy and conserving) I got the nod to motor. It’s lekker to move and see what your body is capable of. (slide 4 - me gassing it)

•Personal Opinion: Strawberries are almost always overrated … 9/10 times (slide 5 🍓) but these came at just the right time 🤩

•Linda @lindajordaan11 , jy is ‘n stunning persoon en ‘n fantastiese vriend. Jou aura en energie is magical 🫶🏼 Dankie vir alles (slide 6 - Linz and I 🤙🏻)

•Beer is the best. but it’s just better after effort & with good people🍻 (slide 7 - @brewhahajbay serving us the top brew)

Race specific tips for self:
•Prioritise sleep and recovery 😣
•Hydration is key + Electrolytes are vital for this! thanks to @get.revive for your epic product 💪🏼
•Get strong - lift weights 🏋️‍♂️ thanks to my trainer @christyffs
•Linda’s tip: water point to water point. split the race in 3km sections x 7. game-changer for this race 😮‍💨
• @ingewilliamson ‘s tip: Don’t eat food your gut biome isn’t used to processing. game-changer for next time 😥
•I hate downhills … ‘sprint’ the downhills - let gravity do the work, not your knees 👍🏼 (slide 7 - me klapping a downhill jam) taken in Gamtoos River by @tiaan_ace
