Today is the day
It’s been a long time coming, but like most things on the horizon – it was here before I knew it. That’s right, this moment right now. And this one…. and this. I spent this morning breathing in a brilliant sunrise across the ocean towards Bondi, feeling a calm contentment just being there and ready [...]
Eoin Finn } Hammock Enlightenment
I’m a huge fan of Eoin Finn and have been for some time now. It all started with the Pursuit of Happy Hips – a home practice yoga DVD that I got for Christmas one year that led me to find out more about Eoin, the Blissology project, his love for the environment and his incredible [...]
Govinda’s } ashram experience
You could be forgiven for thinking these shots are of some far off exotic indian place, when in fact these were taken only an hour south of Sydney at the magnificent Govinda Valley.
Just leave it up to the Universe…
Good god, I hear you cry, ‘she’s turning into Oprah!’ Ok, I’ll admit it sounds pretty far out – but let me me explain… Lately I’ve been making plans, changing plans, thinking about plans, then worrying about plans and getting absolutely nowhere! For some reason I’ve been blind to the advice I often dish out [...]
The Future Sound of Yoga
This morning I woke with a buzz in my brain that I can only put down to the incredible time had last night at the Future Sound of Yoga! It seems I’m a little late on the train on this one, for the FSOY has been going for quite some time now, but boy am [...]

A child pose a day keeps the Dr. away
In yoga class, when things start to get all too hard and/or you’re feeling a bit dizzy, the teacher says to take a break in child pose. Get down on your knees, sit your bum on your feet, big toes touching, knees apart - then fold forward…. let go and surrender with arms stretched out (or by [...]
Surf into Yoga with Rochelle Ballard: Part I
Rochelle Ballard‘s connection to nature formed at an early age. Growing up on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, she spent most of her time in the ocean and it’s no secret what happened from there. For those out of the loop, Rochelle’s passion carried her through [rss-cut]17 stellar years on the ASP pro tour, with [...]
Surf into Yoga with Rochelle Ballard: Part II
Rochelle was kind enough to share with Cohabitaire some breathing techniques and the postures she recommends for surfing…… The most important thing to activate in the body is the breath through the diaphragm, inside of the rib cage. It brings more oxygen into the body, sending blood flow to circulate the system. No matter what [...]
