😩😩😩😩 Swipe to see why I've been hibernating 🥶

HELLOOO I am the newest piano teacher on the block 🐣

I can't believe it's taken me this long to dip my toes into teaching.

It shouldn't be a surprise that I have been absolutely loving it, but it is! I am pleasantly surprised! I am fascinated by the process of learning, teaching and practice.

To put myself back in the beginner's mindset, I've chosen some pieces I want to work on every day. Some are challenging and some I just love to play. Seeing slight improvements with short daily practise genuinely humbles and excites me 🥹

As a kid, piano used to be something I was forced to do out of obligation but now, at 30, I've realised it may be something I have unconsciously loved this whole time.

Learning and playing music is fun, it's a beautiful form of expression and with a bit of time and practice, anyone can do it!

If anyone (or their kids) are interested in lessons, shoot me a little msg 🫶🏻 (EOFY sales are still on 😉)

I've been doing a 30 day yoga challenge to help keep me consistent with my yoga practice. Today was day 13!

This morning I woke up at 4:30am and my body has been fighting for a nap but I reluctantly put my thermals on and powered through anyway.

Come flow with me as I milk the last of Melbourne's sun 🌞

My yoga practice has been far from consistent over the past 16 months but after having the privilege to visit Bali, I feel motivated to implement it into my daily routine again YAY

"The goal of yoga is to create space where you were once stuck,

To unveil the layers of protection you've built around your heart,

To appreciate your body and become aware of the mind and the noise it creates,

The goal is yoga is to make peace with you are,

The goal is to love you."

Crying is cumming for your soul 💦

I've only been practicing breathwork for 2 years and it has changed my life in ways I never would've imagined. Although I am far from consistent, the simple practice of returning to my breath, whether a full intentional session or during those micro moments during an ordinary day to nurture my nervous system, has made the space between feeling and reaction feel like freedom. Freedom in choosing how to respond and show up for the world, untangled from past conditioning.

Last week I had an intense session where insights and emotions overwhelmed me. Thank you @breathewithsandy for the intense psychedelic breathwork session.

I was engulfed in the feeling of compassion. I relished it, basked in its warmth and followed the urge to share it with anyone who needs to see the messy, unfiltered, humanness of healing. It's ok to forget sometimes, it's ok to stray, just keep returning to yourself again and again.

Emotions can be intense but they are just your own children wanting to be seen and acknowledged. They're not here to cause you harm and pain. Listen to them (that's how they'll stop protesting) thank them and let them go lovingly.

This was my first (failed) attempt at making a matcha latte 4 months ago and let's just say it was a learning experience... 😅

Since then it's become a ritual I look forward to starting mornings with when I have a bit of time and I'd like to say my matcha skills have improved slightly yay!

What's that saying, don't aim for perfection just do it and make it better or something like that??

Lol at my dog giving me a standing ovation at the end 😂😭😭

The piano and I have had an interesting relationship. We've been acquainted for about 25 years but for the first half of our relationships (at least) I resented it, viewed it as an obligation, a burden, a source of unnecessary pressure. I'd wake up at 6am to practise for an hour, yes a whole hour! before school, then an hour straight after school.

So obviously after high school I burnt out and stopped playing for a while. I enjoyed the freedom of not having to be forced to practise twice daily as I panic-prepared for the next exam. Eventually, the piano, was once a big part of my life and it became an old "hobby" I forgot about.

In recent years, I found a new love for the piano, in discovering pianists like Ludovico and Sofiane Pamart 😍 and also just allowing myself to return to the piano to play without pressure or expectations, without the need to sound perfect and polished, I was reminded of how utterly beautiful piano really is 🥹 What a waste if I were to really forget this skill. The hardest part is really just showing up 😖

Ahhh, so I quickly fell in love with poi over the summer. On this particular day, the sun kept me flowing for hours 🌞

Flow makes me feel so free, I watch my thoughts dissipate through every movement, get acquainted with the ever-changing direction of the wind, delight my inner child (she loves it) and it makes good entertainment for my dogs (when I don't accidentally knock them, sorry Chocolat)

I've been leaning into activities that challenge my perfectionism, an illusion and unattainable standard that blocks full expression. Making mistakes and a fool of myself is all part of the journey, through flow, I learnt what truly matters is how kind and non-judgemental you can be to yourself when you make a mistake and have the audacity and courage to try again and again!!

Also if anyone needs an entertainer, hit me up for mates rates 😉 by @unemployedmatedozza
