Physical body vs Energetic body queer relating Mar 02, 2023

We are most familiar with our physical body. Why? It's what we can see, hear, taste, touch and smell. 

The ancient yogis recognised that we have a physical body, and we also have an energetic body - It sits about 10 cm above our physical body.

It may have a different shape than your physical body....

You are not alone queer relating Feb 27, 2023

There is a phenomenon that happens in many kinds of relationships, but in same-sex attraction, it can happen in a particular way. And it requires a different approach to transform it.

You were born this way queer relating Feb 10, 2023

Some things are an inside job that no one else can do for you. They are a gift that you give yourself. No one else can give it to you.

No, I’m not talking about self-love (although, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Thank you RuPaul)

No, I’m not talking abou...

By god, I'm bi-gender! drag king culture queer relating Jan 20, 2023

If you're anything like me, growing up in Australia, we were handed one of two genders. And it wasn't a choice. When we were born, it was declared, it's a boy! or it's a girl! (Imagine if there was a less prescriptive declaration made: It's a human!) Being assigned female or male meant that you were...

How to make this new year YOUR year! queer relating Jan 13, 2023

Have you ever had the feeling at the end of another year that even though you may have had a great New Year's Eve things just feel the same? Nothing has really changed? Even if you had a lousy NYE, things just feel normal the next day. Every day, the same as before. (Be proud, put your hand up if yo...

How to Powerfully Manifest your New Year queer relating Jan 05, 2023

My mission is to empower LGBTQIA+ people to feel good in the body using dance, yoga and tantra so that we can be 100% at home in our own skin. But left to my own devices, you'll find me pottering around the house finding new ways to organise and store things. I am my own Marie Kondo.

Thankfully, I ...

It's a beautiful spring day in Sydney, full of sunshine and the heady aroma of newly blossoming jasmine. My daughter and I decide to take our puppy, Luna to the park.

Am I speaking your language? queer relating Jul 27, 2022

When it comes to language, I assume that everyone speaks the same language as I do. I'm not talking about English as a language. I'm talking about the words I use where I assume anyone else I'm talking to has the same understanding and application of that word.

And if they don't, they have to learn...

5 benefits of being aware when you inhale and exhale queer relating Jul 15, 2022

What's one body function that is always with us, our constant, our friend? Breath. Although breath happens without us having to really think about it and without requiring our conscious attention, it is one body system that we can consciously alter by bringing our awareness to it. This is good news....

Are you an Introvert, Extrovert or Ambivert? queer relating May 31, 2022

Where do you get your energy from? Simply put, introverts get their energy from spending time alone. Imagine curling up with a good book under a minky blanket and a cup of tea. On the other hand, extroverts get their energy from being social and interacting with other people. Picture a weekend fille...
