My Story
When I move i feel free. My mind clears. My mood improves. My energy shifts.
I feel strong mentally and physically. In contrast, i also feel free by taking the time to
just be, sitting in stillness and silence.
The wisdom and techniques that i have learnt from studying and consistently practicing yoga,
qigong and meditation work beautifully alongside other more aerobically challenging sports
to provide insight, focus, flexibility, strength and stillness.
Through participating in competitive sport i understand the importance of keeping on
doing what you love - even with challenges such as injury and fatigue thrown at you.
Such setbacks set me on a new course of learning - one that involved adapting my lifestyle
to find balance, focus and a new sense of optimal living.
If only I had known about yoga, qigong and meditation long ago.
Well now I do and it is my intention to share these teachings with you!
Stef
In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.
