Yoga on Country

When we practice yoga, it is important to us to acknowledge Country. We always start our classes in a grounding way to feel our connection to the land and a sense of belonging within a community of people. These pillars of Country, Community and Connection not only shape our yoga practice but are foundational to all aspects of life.

We believe there are so many parallels between Indigenous Australian and Yogic practices, including a deep respect and connection with the land and all its living beings, a strong sense of community and a connection to self and spirit. To us, it makes so much sense to begin each yoga practice by taking a moment to acknowledge Country.

We created our own Acknowledgement of Country for kids to experience during our yoga and mindfulness sessions. We invite children to join in with us and often feel an overwhelming sense of community and connection build within the space by starting our classes in this way. You can join us too!

We touch the ground

To take care of our lands

We touch the sky

Reaching up with our hands

We touch our hearts

And promise to always care

For the Ngunnawal land

That our elders kindly share

We bow our heads

And give thanks we are here

Our body is present

And our mind is clear
