Burnout + somatic coach~Trauma-informed yoga~Mparntwe
I help busy, stretched-thin people move from burnout back to balance, with emotional coaching, nervous system tools and yoga that lets you go at your own pace.
Next Grounded circle: Sun 29 Nov, 3pm
Sound familiar?
You love a plan. You can fill every spare bit of space with a project, a class or a favour for someone, and you're good at it. But lately your body has started asking for something your calendar doesn't have room for.
maybe you're...
None of this means you're broken. Your nervous system has been working overtime, and it's asking for a different pace. We can listen to it together, gently, without forcing anything.
About
I'm a burnout and somatic coach, a trauma-informed yoga teacher and a school teacher, living on Arrernte Country in Mparntwe (Alice Springs).
I'm also a recovering busybody. I love a plan, and I can happily fill every spare minute with a project, a yoga class or a new hobby (guilty, I admit). Learning to notice when what I actually need is to slow down has changed how I live, teach and move.
These days I'm studying somatic coaching and counselling, teaching power vinyasa and embodied flow at Mulla Mulla Yoga Shala, and making little silver spirals by hand. My favourite medicine is still the simplest one: getting outside, going slowly and taking a proper breath.

Work with me
Wherever you're starting from, we start there. No fixing, no forcing, just practical, body-based ways to feel more like you again.
01 ~ one on one
A steady, private space to untangle burnout. We talk through what's going on, notice what your body is doing with it, and practise simple somatic tools you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon: breath, movement, grounding and rest. Emotional coaching and nervous system care, at a pace that feels safe for you.
Ask about coaching
02 ~ on the mat
Power vinyasa and embodied flow at Mulla Mulla Yoga Shala. Strong and playful, always with options. Every cue is an invitation, rest is always allowed, and you know your body better than I do.
See classes
03 ~ for groups
I'm a teacher too, so I know how much young people (and the adults around them) are carrying. I run practical nervous system workshops for schools, workplaces and community groups, with regulation tools people will actually use. No yoga mat required.
Plan a workshop
04 ~ make something
Full moon flows, Stretch + Sculpt with Mez, journaling circles and the odd surprise. If you've got an idea for something slow and good, I'd love to hear it.
Pitch me an ideaTell me a little about what's going on. No essays needed.
We work out what you need, and whether I'm the right person to help.
One session, one small practice at a time.
Come to a class
I teach power vinyasa and embodied flow at Mulla Mulla Yoga Shala in Ciccone, a few minutes from the middle of town. Expect a strong flow, good tunes and plenty of room to do your own thing.
a monthly flow + journal circle
Last Sunday of the month ~ 3 to 4.30pm
Something I missed about yoga in Naarm was satsang: community circles where you could chat, journal and move with like-minded pals. Grounded is my version. 75 minutes of power flow, then time to sit, write and talk through a monthly theme (the first one was Rest). Bring a journal, or borrow one of mine.
Next circle: Sunday 29 November
monthly flow + new moon reset
One Monday evening a month ~ 6.30 to 7.45pm
Take one evening a month to slow down and check in with yourself before life carries you into another busy season. A 60-minute power flow, a grounding meditation and an optional journal (journals provided). You don't need to know your sun, moon or rising sign.
Next: Monday 9 November
power vinyasa, Flow & Go, Embodied Flow
Lunchtimes + weekends at the Shala
Strong, sweaty, playful flows with plenty of options, plus slower embodied classes for when you need to come back into your body. Times shift with the seasons, so check the latest timetable before you come.

Announced on Instagram first
Full moon power flows to shake it out and move through the lunar cycle, Stretch + Sculpt with Mez (mindful stretching, breathwork, Pilates-based strength and a long rest), and whatever else we dream up.

Mulla Mulla Yoga Shala
10/10 Smith Street, Ciccone, Mparntwe NT 0870. Book through the Shala's website or the Mindbody app.
Beautiful class, great pace. Liana was a wonderful teacher with gentle suggestions for your own body. I'm going to sleep well tonight!
Every cue is an invitation. Take it, change it or skip it.
Child's pose counts. Lying down counts. Leaving early counts.
Your body isn't a problem to solve. We're here to listen to it.
There's no right way to look in a pose, and no rush to get anywhere.
Small invitations
Little ways back to yourself, collected on walks, camping trips and very ordinary Tuesdays. Pull one, try it, see what happens.
01 / 14
Choose a new trail. Walk and keep your phone at home. Return when your body feels ready.
Six slow breaths. In for four, out for six. A longer out-breath is one of the simplest ways to tell your body it's safe to soften.
ready when you are
Spirals + stones
“A spiral circles back without quite returning to its starting point.”
The spiral has become a special symbol for me: a reminder that life isn't meant to follow one path, or stay the same. We return to the same places with a little more perspective, sometimes in a scary and wobbly way.
Each of these sterling silver pieces is shaped by hand and set with a stone of your choice. Making them has become my ritual of rest, switching off and play, trusting my hands without quite knowing how a piece will turn out.
A more official little ordering system is coming soon. For now, we're staying slow :)
Mindful screentime ~ October edition
Confession: I'm known to doom scroll and procrastinate. So each month I gather up the things I consumed on purpose, and actually enjoyed. Here's October.
Podcast
For planning a yoga class and needing words wiser than mine. Also perfect for drifting off into a quiet mental space on a plane.
@onbeingPodcast
For the gym or a walk, when I want to explore something new from a friendly corner of the internet. Keep paper handy for all the references.
@soulgumpodcastPodcast
For when change is happening (cue the void) and I can't hack my own cycle of thoughts. Like a warm cup of tea with two friends.
@wisdomofanxietyPlaylist
Not just for yoga. Low key vibes to keep my brain from procrastinating while I work.
@yogawithtaharaWhat are you listening to? Tell me in the DMs, or come and say hi on Instagram (mindfully).
