Over a decade of yoga and meditation (Theravada) experience. I invite you into trauma-informed yoga and bodywork: gentle healing, grounding and reconnection. My practice centres safety, cultural awareness and intergenerational healing. Each session is space to slow down, to support nervous system regulation, and to return to yourself.

I arrived at 11.11am on Sunday 15 February 2026, in North Fitzroy. I had travelled through Victoria on Valentine’s Day, passing Canberra as the weather turned to a cooler, fresher breath of air.

As I drove on for hours, I witnessed the most beautiful sunset, a bright orange turning to deep pink, for a good ten minutes. I gazed up and felt the presence of my late grandmother in spirit. It was a warm embrace, a big fuzzy hug that vibrated through my whole body, and a heart-shaped cloud appeared.

It was love, pride and care. I could call it self-love. I was alone, but not alone, on Valentine’s Day, the greatest love I could have felt on such a day.

Resting in that first dawn, I woke feeling: this is it. A new chapter. An emergence. A becoming. A sense of freedom I had long missed. Aruna.

Having spent many years in the Northern Rivers of NSW, 2026 felt like a time to keep embodying the values of the communities I have been so fortunate to be a part of. Heart. Presence. With the right effort, awareness and breath, we can restore the body and mind, and most of all, regulate the nervous system.
