Thank you to Jorja from our 8-12 year old Body Yoga Kids Class for sharing this photo of her Yoga Cat with me. I love watching how animals do yoga!
“Hi Mary,
This is a picture of my cat Roger doing Dolphin pose. You may notice that there is something on Roger’s fur.
There is a funny story about that. One day mum and I were playing in our backyard drawing smiley faces with chalk on the pavers. Then along came Roger wanting to have a pat on his tummy and rolled on the smiley face we had just drawn. The smiley face drawing ended up on his fur!” - Jorja (8-12 yo Kids Yoga class – Berwick)
I think the picture on Rogers fur looks like another animal. Can you see one?
Thank you to all the beautiful women who attended our workshop today. We feel very honoured to have shared 3 incredible hours with you on what was a very special afternoon. You all have so many precious gifts to share and today you broke through the blocks holding you back on your own personal journey. We “rocked” the studio, laughed on each others tummies, got out of our comfort zones, swung our hips, “ditched” our “stuff” and managed to empty the tissue box! For many of you, today is the first day of freedom and to living your life ON PURPOSE. I thank each and every one of you for entering Body Yoga’s Sacred Space and for feeling safe enough to express your inner-most feelings and fears. Thank you for contributing your beautiful energy.
…and as if we didn’t receive enough confirmation today, on arriving home and emptying my car, what did I find? ……..a white feather of course!
Maree, a very special thank you for being my “gift”. It was very unexpected and amazingly beautiful. xo
Love and Light to you all,
Namaste

Ingredients
1 cup walnuts (unsoaked)
1 – 1.5 cups dates (pitted unsoaked)
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
Preparation
Place in food processor and blend until well blended (about 30 seconds) – should still be dry and chunky.The dates are the binding ingredient, and some are moister than others, so start with 1 cup and if the mixture is still very loose, add extra dates until it begins to bind. Press into a small spring form pan. Refrigerate until you can insert a knife and it isn’t too sticky. Cut into little pieces, then pop into a zip lock bag and freeze. They can be eaten fresh, from the fridge or from the freezer.

I’m always looking for meaningful books to add to our Kids Body Yoga library and I am delighted to have been asked to review one such book. I am a huge fan of Victoria Boutenko and the Raw Family (www.rawfamily.com) so to review a book written by Victoria’s daughter Valya, was an honour.
“Will You Love Me Still?” is a delightful children’s book aimed at a young audience. Beautifully illustrated with a cat as the main character, this book explores, in easy to understand terms, unconditional love. Young children know how to love unconditionally and they do, but unfortunately they often see that adults don’t always do the same. This book supports the idea that no matter what a child does, they will always be loved. Books such as these are great ways to bring our “off the mat yoga” into the lives of our children. They are also a lovely reminder to us to be more child-like (our natural state) and do as they do – love one another unconditionally.
Thank you Valya for such an inspirational book.
If you would like to support Valya (who self-publishes and prints her children’s books) you can purchase “Will You Love Me Still?” at Amazon.com

Did you know that one third of all personal care products contain one or more ingredients classified as possible human carcinogens? How safe are the ingredients used in your current brand of skin care products? How certain are you that they do not contain chemicals that could be harmful to you and/or your children?
Certified Organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilisers, or GMO’s. It is an innovative method of farming and production and is increasingly being recognised as being on the leading edge of food and fibre technology into the future. Organics is not just chemical free by testing. It is about the way the product ingredients have been grown, prepared, processed and packaged.
If you’d like to make the change to organic skin and personal care, I recommend Miessence. For more details click here: http://organicpresence.mionegroup.com/en/home
I am sharing this story with you in the hope that it may just inspire one person to follow their dreams. This is a story written by my 17 year old daughter whilst in Cambodia. She is a strong, brave and fearless star! She has worked all year to save for her 5th trip and we are all so incredibly proud of her.
