For those of you who don't know, I've been doing my diploma in thai yoga massage for the past couple months... 🌠 It's been an amazing and humbling experience to be able to help people release stored emotional trauma, to connect with their bodies, and to just generally feel good! 💆 I'm still offering a FREE massage in February if you're interested in trying this unique system of healing... send me a pm to book! 🔥 (Keep an eye out on my Insta and website for more juicy deals in March 😉) #thaiyogamassage #nuadboran #thaiyogamassageayrshire #thaiyogamassageglasgow #bodyworker #thaimassageglasgow #yogateacherlife #yogajourney #yogatherapy

In 2018, after many years of searching, I finally found ‘home’. Sydney filled my heart and soul; finally, I felt like I belonged somewhere. It broke my heart to have to leave, but now my heart is breaking again at seeing My Love dying, the land and its inhabitants suffering so. 🔹 According to estimates over 500 million animals (some estimates say 1 billion) have now died. Let that sit in for a moment. Those that survived still face an uncertain future with their habitats destroyed. People have lost their lives trying to save the land and its inhabitants. 🔹 It is easy to feel overwhelmed, paralysed by despair, to think there’s nothing we can do. But there are things we can do to help. In the short-run, please think about donating to WIRES, the Australian Wildlife Rescue Organisation: www.wires.org.au/donate/emergency-fund 🔹 In the long-run, this is what #climatechange looks like. Whether or not it’s too late to reverse the climate crisis, we now have to do everything we can just to ensure the short-term survival of this planet (for our children, not even our grandkids). It is literally life and death. 🔹 One of the most effective things you can do for the planet is to become fully #plantbased. Meat and dairy production is one of the leading causes of climate change. There are so many resources out now for #veganuary helping you to transition to a vegan diet - why not add it to your 2020 resolution list and start the year off the best way! 🔹 Since I’m already #plantbased, my intention for 2020 is to move as close as possible to #zerowaste (especially plastic free). For me, that means always carrying Tupperware in my bag (so that if I do buy food out I can ask them to put it straight in my own containers and avoid the paper/plastic bag), trying to make my own #plantbasedmilk and vegan cheese (I’ll let you know my successes!), and trying to make more conscious purchases (e.g. maybe foregoing snacks wrapped in plastic, and going back to snacking on nuts and fruits - a win for my health too!). 🔹 Your turn - what will you do this year to help protect our planet? #bushfire #climatechange #drought #nswbushfire #climateemergency #bushfireseason #australia #sydney

Starting the decade off with some exercise and nature 👣💚🌲 #starthowyoumeantogoon Happy 2020 everyone 😘🙏 #backtonature #wildwalking #scotland #ayrshire #lochside #wildwoman #adventurer #nature #travelphotography

One of the (many) things travelling last year helped me realise is that I have a bad habit of tying up identity with career (you are what you do). Society brings us up to believe that our career defines us, it shapes our life, our free time, our relationships. As someone who has had many careers over the years, it was no wonder I often felt lost and dissatisfied. What I now realise is that I am so much more than what job I’m currently doing to pay the bills. I’m more than all the labels you (or I) might use for me, to put me in a ‘box’. And while I may like certain labels (‘yoga teacher’) the danger is in letting this define me. Like many things in life, this can be taken away from me… it might change, I may choose a different path. I guess it’s another lesson in detachment (Buddha really knew what he was talking about, eh?). Not getting attached to how things sound to others (or look on Instagram 😉). But it’s also about changing our attitude to labels, those attached to careers especially. Yes, it’s great if you can do what you love, to be passionate about your career. But it’s not the be-all-and-end-all. I can still be me, no matter what job I do. 🔹 This post was really to say that it’s time for an Instagram name change 😂 but I got carried away. Why a name change? Well yoginivegabondlife doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue 🙈 Also, most of my focus since starting on Instagram has been on yoga, so I want to reflect that with... theyoginidr 😀💜 #thoughts #detachment #writing #ditchthelabels #namechange #lagunadeapoyo #apoyolodge #nicaragua #uttithahastapadangustasana #traveller #changedbytravel
