Mindfulness is a term that is thrown about a lot these days, and I have to say something that I have not necessarily been good at myself lately.
I have the capacity to be so present on shoot, so connected with my client and the story I want to help them tell. However when it comes to the rest of my life, sometimes I feel so disconnected from the moments, with my mind often drifting to other places?
Relate much?
This is why I was consumed with curiosity when working with Tammy Williams, the gorgeous soul behind Yoga NRG & Mindfulness Training
She has made being present, being mindful and being connected to each moment her life’s purpose, and the great news is she helps others to do the same.
If you have ever attempted or practised yoga, it can be a little daunting at first to step into a space with a bunch of flexi-fab bodies, when you are struggling to touch your knees.
But there is something about Tammy’s energy that eliminates the eek and makes you feel at peace in her company.
Love that not only does Tammy and her team teach locally, but she also teaches fellow yogi’s nationally, and cleverly adopted an online model for keeping yogi’s learning when lockdown kicked.
Exactly why she is got me to come and help share more of how she trains yoga teachers. As the once full in person workshops moved online last year, Tammy recognised she needed my help to show the ins and out of how it works.
Why tell when you can show 🙂
This woman is a zen-powerhouse (if that can be said) and if you live in Caloundra area, you will want to check out one of her outdoor classes!
Enjoy the highlights

Thankyou Paula. Admittedly I enjoy being on the other side of the camera not in front of it and experience anxiety myself at the thought of it . Your art / photography is a Mindfulness Practice for sure and like yoga & mindfulness I can see the amount of training effort and heart that goes into what you do.
Like you , i find it easy to be focused and “zen” sometimes and not other times. Nature of the mind. My form of “zen” is just as best as I can in that moment & sometimes it’s ok to throw the toys out the cot . Why not 🧘♂️🤯🤓 You work hard , enjoy the fruits of your labour and your little girl x
Thankyou for putting your heart into what you do
