Yoga classes at the CWA Hall + FYG Studio. Purchase your class pass on the web. Hello, Thanks for pausing long enough to find out a little more about me. I am Shannon, the facilitator at FYG. I share the benefits of yoga, reiki and relaxation through a variety of modalities. I am a resident yoga teacher at Tranquil Yoga Mackay where I teach classes that light me up. After completing my yoga teacher training, I have spent years continuing to drive deeper into study. Whilst I hold a 500hr Certification, I have also studied Yoga Nidra under Swami Muktibodana, Yin Yoga under Bree Naomi, Restorative Yoga under Stephanie Ball-Mitchell along with trainings in Myofascial Release, Kids Yoga and Trauma informed yoga. As an eternal student, I will continue this journey to learn and discover. You can join me at Tranquil for yoga classes Monday to Friday. The path to yoga also led me to the discovery of the healing benefits of reiki. Once certified I added this modality to my offerings in the FYG Studio. Working in the space of energy, it wasn’t long before, more training led me to certify as a relaxation massage practitioner where I am able to work one on one with clients meridian lines and parasympathetic nervous system to rest and restore. I am an advocate of wellness in general and am an affiliate with the PainPod if you are chasing an option for managing pain then jump online and have a look at the many benefits to the PainPod.

Consistency. And the quiet pride that comes with it.

One of the things I feel most proud of as a yoga teacher isn't how far someone can stretch, how long they can hold a pose for or whether they can do fancy things with their body.

It's actually the students who keep showing up.

The ones who make the time in their week to step onto their mat. The ones who come even when they're tired, when life is busy, or when their bodies aren't quite doing what they'd like them to do.

The ones who have made their practice a part of their lives, not because they have to, but because somewhere along the way they've recognised the value in it!

As a teacher, it's a privilege to witness this kind of consistency. Not just the changes in their physical practice, but the familiarity they develop with their own bodies, the growing awareness of their breath, and the understanding that every practice doesn't have to look or feel the same.

And i get it. Some days will feel good. Others don’t. Some weeks we'll feel strong and capable, and others we'll need to soften, modify and meet ourselves where we are.

It’s all yoga.

So for those of you who keep showing up, week after week, I hope you know how much I appreciate it. You might not always notice the changes taking place, and they might not be the kind of changes you can photograph or measure.

But consistency has a way of working quietly in the background.

And I think that's something worth celebrating.

Not perfection or achievement.

Just the willingness to keep showing up for yourself.

And as your teacher, I'm pretty proud of you all for that.

Is this a whinge or community service?

It's both to be honest.....

It's a warning for those who love to follow along with everything they see on Facebook.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a little AI (see post from a few months back) it's definitely has a place.

{whinges then makes AI create an image making fun of their own mistakes}

What I have an issue with is full AI-generated yoga content, particularly when it appears no one has actually checked whether what's been created is correct.

Over the course of one day, I decided to take some screen shots of yoga content that had popped up on my feed. I have circled some in fundamental issues with the representation of these poses.

Some are simple misalignment issues.

Some are questionable enough to wonder what pose they were trying to create.

And some are just not the correct pose at all!!

My point here is, if you’re curious about yoga, learning yoga, or simply following along at home, please seek out a local teacher or a reputable online yoga business to guide you. Mackay has heaps of studios and teachers....

Because if you’re blindly following AI-generated yoga images like the ones here, you can very easily be learning something that looks like yoga but simply isn’t accurate.

AI can create a very convincing picture!!

But this doesn’t mean it necessarily creates a correct one!

And when it comes to yoga, the difference matters.

See MY AI image for a little laugh.

Students you're welcome to drop comments below on what you think is not right with the circled ones and or the ones in my Ai generated image. ⬇️

Whinge and public service announcement over. 🤣

Long READ...grab a cuppa ☕️ This is my subtle attempt to covert you to coming to yoga....🤪

One of the things that still surprises me after all these years of teaching yoga is how little connection some people have with their own bodies.

You can ask someone to bring their awareness to a particular part of the body and sometimes the mind simply can't find it.
“Feel into your left hip.”
Blank.
“Become aware of your intercostal muscles”
HUH.

Not because there is anything wrong, but because we spend so much of our lives moving through our days without actually being aware of the body we are moving around in.

We breathe without thinking about breathing.
🍃 We walk without thinking about our feet.
🍃 We sit, stand, bend and reach without necessarily noticing what is happening inside us.

And often, we don't really pay attention until something hurts.
An injury or niggle that demands our attention.
Stress and overwhelm can change our breathing. Suddenly, the body becomes very loud.

This is one of the things I love about yoga.

You don't have to be good at yoga. There really isn't a good or bad. There is just DO. (and trust me those who come to my classes know that we modify so we can DO!!)

Move. Breathe. Notice. Feel. Pause.

That's it.

Through asana, pranayama and meditation, we can begin to develop something that has nothing to do with touching our toes or getting super bendy: body awareness.

“What if yoga isn't about learning what your body can do, but learning how to listen to the body you already have?” oooooofff

This makes sense to me.
Because the longer you practise, the more you start to notice.

🍃The difference between tension and effort.
🍃The breath becoming shallow before you even realise you're stressed.
🍃The sensation of your feet on the floor.
🍃The little signals your body has been giving you all along.

Over time, you become more in tune. More connected. More aware.

So what if yoga for you wasn't about touching your toes or creating fancy shapes?

What if it was simply about getting to know your body a little better?

Then would you come?

Red light therapy for sports recovery.

Literally, there is nothing to do here but chill, however in that 20 minutes of chill time, so much is happening!

So what is happening while you're lying there doing absolutely nothing?

🏀 Muscles are recovering after all those sprints, jumps, changes of direction and repetitive movements.

💪 Muscle soreness may be reduced — particularly the kind that turns up the next day after a big training session or game.

⚡ Muscle function is being supported — research has found improvements in some measures of strength and performance following Red Light Therapy

🩹 The body is dealing with exercise-related muscle stress . RLT has been studied for its effects on exercise-induced muscle damage and recovery.

💤 And you get to lie still for 10–15 minutes.

Which, if I'm honest, is generally the hardest part for some people! 😂

And while you're lying there doing absolutely nothing, your body is doing all the work.

Sounds perfect to me.
