A Softer December Why December feels so heavy Here’s an answer to the first question - women hold the mental & emotional load for this time of the year. I saw a quote on Instagram yesterday by Jordan Desousa that says, “Annual reminder that 95% of that “holiday magic” is actually just the invisible & physical work of women.” If we don’t wear the sparkly earrings, or organise all the presents, or bring plates to all the parties, would this wonderful time of the year even happen? You know the answer to that question. https://www.emmapolette.com/blog/self-care-is-dead monthly 0.5 2025-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/a277988f-9979-4194-99e5-c122a2242559/Why+I%27m+over+self-care.png Blog - Self-Care Is Dead.

My work colleagues being the kind, beautiful souls they are. And my classes and students. I’ve received hugs, and cards, and kind words and smiles. They all mean so much to me.

Here are some ideas: Eat Tryptophan-Rich Foods: Tryptophan is an amino acid that the body converts into serotonin. Foods high in tryptophan include turkey, eggs, cheese, nuts, salmon, tofu, and pineapples. Carbohydrates: Consuming healthy carbohydrates (like whole grains) can help increase the absorption of tryptophan. https://www.emmapolette.com/blog/how-and-why-i-easily-gave-up-my-daily-chocolate-fix monthly 0.5 2024-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/615d6213-0cbf-462d-a585-16d5858acb0b/IMG_4909.jpeg Blog - How (& why) I “easily” gave up my daily chocolate fix - Free Menopause Health talk Friday was World Menopause Day and I was asked to present a talk about menopause health for a large organisation in town.

It’s the things you can’t see or feel (until it’s too late) Osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. The drop in oestrogen encourages bone and muscle loss. This means you are much more likely to fall, and to break a bone. Unfortunately the same number of people die from complications from hip fractures as breast cancer!!! And a drop in oestrogen is responsible for a hike in cholesterol which can increase the chance of heart attack and stroke. Do you know what helps with both of these things? Exercise! Strength training & cardio. That’s why I’ve created a new 30 minute exercise class that combines *gentle* cardio with *gentle* strength training. Because we’ve got to start somewhere! Class starts next Friday 18th October at 7am.

Here’s the recipe so you can try it too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/0646a6bf-1b1e-4e1a-82e7-7c28cb18bdb0/IMG_4708.jpeg Blog - How yoga changed my relationship with my ageing body - Stress Management tip of the week - walking meditation Yesterday I did a short guided walking meditation around Eyre Park. Click here for one to try. Initially, I felt like a bit of a dill following the instructions to stand still, take deep breaths and walk slowly. Then I realised no one cares. Just as the meditation guide said, "notice leaves dancing in the breeze," I saw this gorgeous tree doing just that. It was refreshing, relaxing and restorative on a breezy Saturday. https://www.emmapolette.com/blog/big-week-of-menopause-related-news monthly 0.5 2024-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/4db0e798-4839-413f-ba69-47f7fb8b2ae7/Vitality+30.jpg Blog - It’s been a big couple of weeks for menopause-related news - Physical Activity tip of the week - Vitality 30 All of the study I have done tells me that keeping fit is essential during the menopause transition. It can help manage symptoms, keep brain health optimal and support a stressful lifestyle. So I have created a new 30 minute fitness class that I’ve called Vitality 30. It includes yoga stretches, gentle HIIT, and strength training. It will start on World Menopause Day, Friday 18th October. It isn’t quite ready for bookings yet, but comment below if you’re interested. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/233b2ac2-a6e8-4747-863c-6075a72e6dd9/pexels-valeriya-27098511.jpg Blog - It’s been a big couple of weeks for menopause-related news - Gentle Nutrition tip of the week - plant protein Protein plays a crucial role during menopause for maintaining muscle mass, bone health, metabolic function, hormonal balance, weight management, and blood sugar control. Plant protein is a great way to get the benefits of protein along with fibre and vitamins and minerals.

(It won’t take long). “The Feel Good Fix” offers short (you might say teeny tiny) wellbeing hacks so that you can add them into a very busy life. I have to say this book has really inspired this week’s post.

I’ve struggled with santosha this week. Yes, I was very unwell, and it was also my birthday. I had plans with family, had looked forward to spending time with my work colleagues on the day, and felt great about turning 51. For most of the week, I felt annoyed, unfairly treated by the Universe, and sick. Luckily there were moments of santosha, I just had to look for them. My very good friend Sara looked after me, I had sunny moments at the beach, my mum brought me soup. Sometimes we just have to look for moments of santosha so we feel better, even if we can’t change our situation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/45f86e9f-7de9-42fb-89c9-25e5d602617a/965402F3-6150-4361-B0FB-2D2F9FAF06DA.jpg Blog - Choosing teeny tiny health goals and why that matters during the menopause transition - Gentle Nutrition tip of the week - healthy breakfast I was able to start one of my healthy changes this week, by eating this breakfast. I’m usually a toast girl, but muesli with yoghurt and berries is an exceptionally good breakfast for people in the menopause transition. Check out my reel on Instagram to find out why.

By promoting relaxation, it helps lower heart rate and blood pressure, contributing to better cardiovascular health. The 4-7-8 method also aids in improving sleep quality, making it easier to fall asleep and reducing insomnia. (Note: If you have any heart issues please check with your doc before starting pranayama practices) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/bb4f785b-32dd-4cef-8159-e30d339ece5f/IMG_8904.jpg Blog - Reconnect with inner peace at the Loving Kindness Retreat in Demark - Physical Activity tip of the week - boxing This week I had a moment at work where I felt quite angry/frustrated. Last week I got teary, this week I got physical. One of my colleagues and I got into little sparing moment. It was fun. It reminded me of why I got into personal training iin the first place.

Obviously, we don’t do that here in Australia so many women end up with those issues postpartum and beyond. If you are experiencing pelvic health issues, I highly recommend Albany’s very own gury, Katie Stan-Bishop. She’s just launched her website with lots of great info.

A small example of this is I hung my washing out earlier and then it started to rain. At first I got all stressed about getting it off the line. Then I realised there is no rush to have dry clothes so I just left them. Inner peace achieved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/2e0a8a52-4c10-4624-9310-fe78fcd85723/Menopause+guide+e-book.png Blog - The power of “this too shall pass” - Physical Activity tip of the week - 7-minute workout At any age a combination of cardio and resistance training is important for cardiovasular health, and bone & muscle strength. But it can feel hard to fit everything in. Harvard University developed a 7-minute workout (it’s closer to 8 minutes) that combines cardio and strength for a full body workout.

I couldn’t have been more wrong. I’m not saying that being thin is bad. Not at all. Not if that’s what’s natural to you. But not respecting the body you have now will never result in confidence or happiness. What if you started doing all the things you think you’d do with a thinner body now?

Omega 3s for heart health, joint health, bone health & mental health Fibre for helping to absorb nutrients and weight management Calcium for bone health Antioxidants for glowing skin and overall health. The recipe: 500g frozen berries (you won’t use all of this for one serve, see below) 1/2 cup oats 1 tablespoon of chia seeds (see notes) 1/2 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds (see notes) 1 teaspoon of maple syrup (or any sweetener) 1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk) 1/4 cup natural yoghurt First make the berry coulis by slowly simmering your berries in a large saucepan. It will take about 20 minutes and will keep for about a week. Then, mix all the other ingredients together and add some of the cooled berries on top. I put mine in a nice glass.

It’s when you wear clothes that lift your spirits and give you a hit of joy. It can be through colour, texture and/or style. In case you haven’t noticed, I love pink and now find a way to wear it pretty much every day. I have a pair of pink sandals and a pair of pink boots, and every day I wear them I get a compliment from someone. It lifts my mood and gives me a shot of self-confidence.

Try it by putting a cushion at the top of your mat (bed), lie on your right side and put your left knee on a prop (cushion, pillow, bolster) on the right side of your mat.

I only heard this description a few years ago. I used to only think of it as a gentle stretch for the lower back and good one to rest in. But as I look at this pic, I can see how it looks wind-relieving. Regardless of why you do the pose, it is very relaxing and soothing and I highly recommend it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1719638534813-ZE94PD2NK67AXPAT5460/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Why people fart during yoga (and how to manage it) - Yoga Philosophy of the Week I was reminded again of Aparigraha, the wonderful principle of yoga that encourages us to let go of thoughts, possessions, and outcomes this week. My friend told me about her friend who had gone to an art exhibition in Perth and was encouraged to create art with disappearing paint. It was a reminder that there can be so much joy in the creation rather than just the outcome. Click here to learn more about Aparigraha from a recording I made for a course last year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/151a68e6-bad4-4fa8-acb6-7b80679370ff/IMG_7436.jpg Blog - Why people fart during yoga (and how to manage it) - Mindful Moment of the Week This week I had the pleasure of sharing a meditation practice with a couple of new groups of people. Although these two groups were very different to each other, they both benefited from this very simple meditation practice that I’ll share with you now. Close your eyes if you’re comfortable. Breathe in and out naturally and count one. After the next inhale and exhale, count two. Keep going until you get to 10. Then breathe and count back to one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/ebed5b0a-e6b3-41ff-9583-7fb6eef3b140/IMG_3660.jpeg Blog - Why people fart during yoga (and how to manage it) - Body Love Health Tip of the Week Yes, fibre can cause wind, but it is so good for us. It helps to lower cholesterol, keep weight stable, stabilise blood sugars, and reduce the risk of some other health conditions.

I teach 3 versions of this in my class. This one, with both feet on the floor, but one heel against the opposite ankle. A more challenging option is putting the sole of one foot between the other ankle and the knee. The hardest option is to put the sole of the foot in between the knee and the groin. I also show my students how to use a block to make the pose more accessible if balancing is challenging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1719021327617-KPTR0LZ2I8ZDPVULJH4Z/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Is yoga pretentious? - Yoga Philosophy of the Week Unfortunately, I got home from Bali and promptly got sick. It might be the change in weather or I picked something up on the plane. It also means I missed a few days at work. I started to worry because I am working on a project with a bit of a deadline. So, I’ve called on the yoga principle of isvara pranidhana which means surrender to the divine. I will trust that it will all work out. No point worrying about it as it doesn’t help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/93309079-b868-4843-b0c9-197b5bbfaa01/IMG_3656.jpeg Blog - Is yoga pretentious? - Mindful Moment of the Week One of my favourite mindfulness practices is reading what I like to call “gentle fiction”. I love to get caught up in a cosy story of friendship, families and/or love. Yep, I’m a romantic at heart. I’m loving my latest read called Thursdays at Orange Blossom House by Sophia Green. It’s a lovely story about women from different generations bonding over this strange thing called yoga (it’s set in the 1990’s before yoga was so popular). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/ce60952e-4758-4741-b1c4-31ff9c4ef8b6/Screenshot+2024-06-22+at+10.17.10%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Is yoga pretentious? - Body Love Health Tip of the Week One of the first things I learned as a health coach is the concept of “crowding out”. It’s the idea that we add as many healthy things as we can to our diet without denying ourselves the things we love. When we try to stop eating anything “bad” it often means we’ll overindulge later. So, I always ask myself, “why not have both?” P.S. You don’t have to finish everything on your plate either!

The years of teaching yoga, the marketing, the planning, the travel. Everything. It’s important to take stock of what you’ve done to get where you are. As we come up to mid-year, it can be a good time for a review. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/a44db876-e230-4afc-a9d8-954ee08bb1d0/IMG_3405.jpg Blog - Body love (& shame) in Bali - Body Love Tip of the Week Even though I’ve been away this week, I had to keep up with Bridgerton, watching it on my laptop late into the night after we’d concluded retreat activities. It’s a small start, but finally we have representation on the screen of a woman with a body that is not the Hollywood “standard”. There are also other characters of different sizes, colours, sexual orientations and abilities.

To make it easier, sit on a cushion to raise your hips higher than your knees, and you can put blocks or cushions under your knees for support. A lovely gentle stretch for the hips and pelvis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1717851714498-PGR88MFRBHUP35JDCR8V/image-asset.jpeg Blog - I left my all yoga pants in Albany - and here’s 3 reasons why it’s okay. - Yoga Philosophy of the Week The point of yoga is to still the mind. Yoga philosophy helps us to do this. One of my favourite tenants of yoga is aparigraha which is Sanskrit for non-hoarding or non-greed. When I realised I’d left my yoga pants at home I could have had a meltdown, but instead I remembered I have lots of other pants options and I will be okay. I just let it go. Which is aparigraha in practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/41a2ac12-ac4c-479e-b3f8-c56434d30f05/IMG_3237.jpg Blog - I left my all yoga pants in Albany - and here’s 3 reasons why it’s okay. - Mindful Moment of the Week I took this photo after I finished teaching my last yoga class for the term.

Asimta (translating to false-identification) is a concept that’s written about in the Sutras and describes what happens when we over identify with how we look rather than who we really are inside. I don’t know about you, but I still feel like I’m a young person in my mind, and that is who I truly am! Yoga can teach us that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/b527c770-a1b9-492c-ba4d-dce4eb61c88a/20150103_074911497_iOS.jpg Blog - Love it or hate it, ageing is inevitable (and yoga can help) - Mindful Moment of the Week I’m sure you can tell this photo is old! It’s from 2015. In the space of a few weeks I had broken my wrist, had a minor car accident and gotten a speeding ticket. When I asked my boss at the time, “Why me???” he said I wasn’t being very mindful. I rushed off and got myself a mindfulness coach and my obsession with mindfulness began. Well… in May I hurt my wrist, got a speeding ticket and had a bingle in my car. I overcommitted with too much on my plate and I wasn’t able to stay mindful.

Partly because it is named for the moon. But mostly because it is very grounding. I love feeling my feet on the floor while I stretch my entire body. Plus, you can do it anywhere (if you don’t mind looking a little silly, I guess). I like to inhale and stretch my arms above my head and then stretch to one side on the exhale.

The Sanskrit word for this is asana. Some scholars say it translates to “pose” and others say it means “seat”. Fun fact - asana was originally added to the yoga practice to help students stay seated comfortably in a meditation position for longer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/149e7970-8bfc-4ef9-b41a-f9d7bcfa7309/IMG_3123.jpg Blog - Yoga and sobriety - a match made in happiness (for me) - Mindful Moment of the Week Okay, more honesty here, and it’s a bit embarrassing.

But, if you googled it, the photo probably wouldn’t look like this. My bum is a bit up in the air due to tight hamstrings and my knees are very wide to make space for my tummy. That’s what’s so good about this pose. You can adapt it for most body types or injuries. Try a blanket under the knees for support. Or a block or cushion under your forehead for a bit of space. Or try it lying on your back with the ankles pulled towards the groin.

I love how you can flow from it into lots of other poses. Plus it makes me feel strong & powerful. To do it, stand with your feet wider than hip width apart. Your back toes face the long edge of the mat. The front toes the short edge. Face as much as your body as you can to the long edge. Bend your front knee and sweep your arms up to shoulder height. Look over front fingers. Click here to watch a video I made a few years ago with Warrior II in it. (P.S. I wasn’t wearing pink and the photo looked strange so I added some ) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1715156799817-SBZIEITAVC8P0ZB9N9GJ/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Is kindness our superpower? - Yoga Philosophy of the Week May has turned out to be my busiest month of the year. I’ve been given lots of opportunities for my business, I’m heading to Perth for some training for my library job, and I’ve got a few personal things going on too. I spoke to my psychologist about the anxiety I have been feeling about how much is on my plate. She reminded me that I have gotten through these busy times before and I will again. It reminds me of the yoga tenant, tapas. That’s the dedicated effort and perseverance in pursuing self-improvement. How do you use tapas in your life? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/ba95da14-4e61-497b-8993-80570fa19da7/IMG_3024.jpg Blog - Is kindness our superpower? - Mindful Moment of the Week I hosted my one-day retreat with the theme of contentment and gratitude last weekend. The main activity of the day was creating “a pocketful of gratitude”, in other words a mini-book full of things that you feel grateful for. My guests used magazines, stickers, photos, pens & paper to create their mini books. The time flew by as they delved into the things that make them feel grateful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/3eb1b805-2a03-49c9-9bfb-25b75a7d07db/Bali+Yoga+Retreat+Blog+Tile.jpg Blog - Is kindness our superpower? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.emmapolette.com/blog/mansplaining-yoga monthly 0.5 2024-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/095caa26-0577-435f-abb1-0c63ebebec11/Emma+Polette+Sukhasana+Forward+Fold Blog - Why, as a yoga teacher, I welcome mansplaining (well, sort of) - Yoga Pose of the Week This is Sukhasana with a forward fold. Sit crossed legged on the floor (sit on a folded blanket or cushion if that makes it easier), and hinge from the hips with a fairly straight back and put your hands on the ground, (or a cushion, or blocks or a fat book) and take 5 deep breaths. Repeat with your legs folded with the other leg in front. Great for tight hips and lower back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1714554189847-X14IV9LREP5KMIFX75IX/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Why, as a yoga teacher, I welcome mansplaining (well, sort of) - Yoga Philosophy of the Week This week I’d love to share with you a talk about ahimsa that I created for a 30-day online yoga challenge that I hosted last year. Ahimsa is one of the foundational philosophies of yoga. It means non-harming. It’s about being kind to yourself and others.

If you’d told me 10 years ago that I would choose to buy pink wellies and that I’d have the time to go to the beach wearing them multiple times a week I wouldn’t have believed you. But this is the life I have created for myself. So I stood on the empty beach, and took a moment to say thank you. Try it (or something like it) soon. It feels great. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/3eb1b805-2a03-49c9-9bfb-25b75a7d07db/Bali+Yoga+Retreat+Blog+Tile.jpg Blog - Why, as a yoga teacher, I welcome mansplaining (well, sort of) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.emmapolette.com/blog/tmi-for-my-yoga-students monthly 0.5 2024-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/336d1c65-4bf7-4189-81d2-2e9d9a01944d/IMG_2959.jpeg Blog - TMI for my yoga students? - Yoga Pose of the Week This is Legs up the Ramp. Legs up the Wall is a very popular pose for reducing stress and helping reset the nervous system. But if you live in a little house like me, or you find it hard to get your legs up the wall, this can be very soothing too. Lie in this pose for 5 - 10 minutes. Thanks to Kat Spargo for showing it to me! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1714023168322-G489K1GN9G0O6C0BFJ6B/image-asset.jpeg Blog - TMI for my yoga students? - Yoga Philosophy of the Week More and more I can see that the benefits of yoga go way beyond the physical practice. I believe I have become, happier, kinder and more content by learning and practicing the tenants of yoga philosophy.

It’s dark when I wake up. It’s cold by 5pm. I was lucky enough to attend one of Kat Spargo’s rest immersions this past weekend and she reminded me this season is all about letting go like the trees lose their leaves. It helps to make us ready for what’s coming next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/afed3d99-3fff-40d1-b892-7530809e1507/Blog+Banner+for+Website+Content+%28592.666+x+150+mm%29.jpg Blog - TMI for my yoga students? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.emmapolette.com/blog/why-i-offer-sliding-scale-pricing-for-health-coaching-and-intuitive-eating-counselling monthly 0.5 2023-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1702288633255-RXXXNZC5UK5H28TRZL6Y/IMG_7452.jpg Blog - Why I Offer Sliding Scale Pricing for Health Coaching and Intuitive Eating Counselling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/8d4da576-84f7-4d39-a243-0eba158e4042/IMG_2098.png Blog - Why I Offer Sliding Scale Pricing for Health Coaching and Intuitive Eating Counselling - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.emmapolette.com/blog/is-meditation-the-ultimate-body-love-practice-yes-and-heres-how-to-start monthly 0.5 2023-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/987ba682-e571-4940-8476-4bf76d008749/IMG_7437.jpg Blog - Is meditation the ultimate Body Love practice?

10 lessons from 10 years in the health & fitness industry - This is me, half way through my health coaching studies in 2013 when I was allowed to start seeing clients. It was also when I was in the throws of disordered eating and constantly thinking about food and being disappointed by the number on the scale on a daily basis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/21751b46-f876-4e77-bdd3-231dfc7eb64d/IMG-9163.PNG Blog - 10 lessons from 10 years in the health & fitness industry - Here’s a lovely message I recently received from a regular client. https://www.emmapolette.com/blog/3-reasons-to-switch-to-gentle-exercise-and-how-to-do-it monthly 0.5 2025-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/a522d4bd-971f-468c-abfa-aef5f91a6a3b/respect.gif Blog - 3 reasons to switch to gentle exercise (and how to do it) - Why all this punishment? What did your body ever do to you? I know this is a loaded question, believe me (I have multiple chronic illnesses), but seriously, why do you have to punish yourself all the time? Practicing gentle exercise means you get to call the shots. Sometimes you might be hard core (if you’ve got the energy or the strength) but oftentimes you’ll take it fairly easy. You know your body better than anyone so if you need to be gentle then do it. You can always build your strength and go harder later down the track. Or you might just realise that gentle exercise is just how you like it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/f1caebbb-0e7a-4227-b09d-9e20b2a70aca/when+do+i+start.gif Blog - 3 reasons to switch to gentle exercise (and how to do it) - Okay, so how’s all this punishment going for you? Is it working? Does it make you want to get in the gym? Nah, I didn’t think so. It might be hard to imagine, but when you take the gentle exercise option you get to a point where exercise becomes enjoyable. It’s something you really want to do. And from there you might end up getting into something a bit more strenuous. Or not. You decide. It’s your body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/8f66bec4-fa5a-42df-ba04-d332acee3136/giphy.gif Blog - 3 reasons to switch to gentle exercise (and how to do it) - We’ve been made to believe that the only way to be healthy is to be thin. And that the only way to be thin is to be on a constant diet and thrash ourselves at the gym. But guess what… it’s not the weight that matters, it’s our behaviours. Regular exercise, gentle nutrition, good sleep and stress reduction are essential for good health, even if you have a few extra kgs. So if you’re not doing exercise because you are tired of punishing yourself in the name of being thin (because you don’t like it and/or it no longer “works”) then gentle exercise is your saviour. You get the exercise your body needs for good health, but no punishment. Yay! https://www.emmapolette.com/blog/how-privilege-impacts-your-health-and-weight monthly 0.5 2022-07-20 https://www.emmapolette.com/blog/3-nuances-about-being-anti-diet monthly 0.5 2022-07-12

advocate. With over 10 years of teaching experience and 5+ years hosting retreats, I help women—especially those over 40—find movement, stillness, and space to breathe. I’ve been practicing yoga for 25 years (without ever mastering a headstand), and I believe the best kind of practice meets you exactly where you are. My classes and retreats are warm, welcoming, and beginner-friendly—because you don’t need to be flexible to belong. https://www.emmapolette.com/classes daily 0.75 2026-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/3375b5a3-b92f-4813-9956-f116cfe3a68f/1.jpg Albany Yoga & FItness Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/66ea2e6c-8b6c-4c87-867c-3b49ebab3a3c/3.jpg Albany Yoga & FItness Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/e04bc9ec-8bbb-4e5c-9cef-413b18bea045/4.jpg Albany Yoga & FItness Classes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/0cc5d32d-3dbf-46ee-ae57-2fe337704c0b/Boxing+classes.png Albany Yoga & FItness Classes https://www.emmapolette.com/about daily 0.75 2025-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/9a303442-f651-4360-b4bf-457dc6662d2b/IMG_5520.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1617350192420-5ZXURAA0MNQU7EGQMA1X/IIN+logo.png About Emma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1617350165746-LZQN64RHQN2FRLDOEXJH/Yoga_Coach_Logo.png About Emma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1617350225083-AN7KU8OPMOS9I4K24SSO/IICT+ATP+horizontal+logo1.jpg About Emma https://www.emmapolette.com/gtwf-welcome daily 0.75 2021-03-27 https://www.emmapolette.com/go-with-the-flow-module-1 daily 0.75 2021-03-27 https://www.emmapolette.com/go-with-the-flow-module-2 daily 0.75 2021-03-27 https://www.emmapolette.com/go-with-the-flow-module-3 daily 0.75 2021-03-27 https://www.emmapolette.com/go-with-the-flow-module-4 daily 0.75 2021-03-28 https://www.emmapolette.com/go-with-the-flow-module-5 daily 0.75 2021-03-28 https://www.emmapolette.com/go-with-the-flow-module-6 daily 0.75 2021-03-28 https://www.emmapolette.com/magic-mornings daily 0.75 2021-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1624692390037-774NTJXDJ8ANDDP0QA01/pexels-cottonbro-4056529.jpg Magic Mornings - That could mean: Less pain/stiffness Better hydration, digestion, skin Less stress More relaxation Certainty around life goals More energy Better mood Happier you, happier loved ones https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1624675636876-DHNC99A5L933WDULMB3X/Barney+Couch+Edit.png Magic Mornings Magic Mornings is the first of it’s kind because I’m taking you into my exact morning routine to show you not only does it not take long to have time for yourself every day but also how doing this for yourself creates positive changes in almost every aspect of your life - your body, your mental health, your career and your relationships. Before I became a coach I was a stressed out corporate drone. Every morning felt like Ground-Hog Day. I was irritable, stressed and absolutely no fun to be around. I’d heard about morning routines and every once in a while I’d try to do one but I’d quit less than a week later because I’d make it way too hard for myself - 45 minute workout followed by a 20 minute meditation session and a complicated breakfast rigmarole. I’d have to get up waaaaay earlier than I liked so it just didn’t stick. After being in the self-development industry for more than 7 years, I have learned that morning routines do not need to be complicated or long to work, they just have to happen! Which is why I’ve created Magic Mornings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1624692860733-Z878IR0YL84PR7IUCRK3/pexels-adrianna-calvo-4615137.jpg Magic Mornings - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1624676403992-2JK1RZ1L0EOI3SXOJ1EW/20180328_101948321_iOS.jpg Magic Mornings - I’m Emma Polette, your new Magic Mornings Mentor After years of having my self-esteem battered by the corporate boys club while dealing with Stage 4 endometriosis, I ditched my six-figure corporate career in Sydney and moved to Albany, Western Australia in 2012 to start my multi-passionate business.

You’re talented at a lot of things and you’re so caring that you often get swept up into things that you didn’t mean to say yes to You know how to achieve your big dreams but you feel frustrated that your desires keep getting swept aside for everyone else’s In fact you’ve had everything you desire before so this one feels within arms reach but you just can’t seem to make it happen And the closer you are the more overwhelmed you feel and it’s chipping away at your confidence and self-esteem If you’re honest with yourself, you feel like maybe you are past your glory days and this dream will never come true https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1626663184474-FPHUANI1AS85MWTRM5LB/IMG-2140.jpg Miracle Month - Private Coaching I’ve hated my career and felt completely stripped of my self esteem when I wasn’t taken seriously by the corporate boys club… so I quit my job and started my own business. I’ve had to deal with stage 4 endometriosis and multiple surgeries which meant my body changed… so I learned to love it and take care of it as it is rather than trying to change it every day. I’ve dealt with my business disappearing before my eyes due to the global pandemic (like so many others)... but I rebuilt it from scratch AND paid off my credit card in less than 12 months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1626664961336-DXOLFUT0NNK9CFWLRRRN/Ash+Body+Love+VIP.png Miracle Month - Private Coaching This is how Miracle Month works: Step 1: Book in for your 45-minute Zoom session. I like to call this the Clarity Call. This is where we get clear on your goals, what’s been holding you back and decide on one goal to work on for one month. We’ll create a daily action step for you to take and I may provide you with a meditation, journaling prompts or other resources to support you. Step 2: For 28 days you’ll take daily action. I will keep you accountable via a free app called Voxer. We can record voice messages or send text messages to keep in touch. You’ll see how daily action adds up to huge results. Step 3: We meet again on Zoom for 30 minutes to debrief and create new goals for you to achieve. Perhaps you’ll choose to join me for another Miracle Month or you might feel empowered to chase your dreams on your own. https://www.emmapolette.com/instagram-coaching daily 0.75 2021-08-09 https://www.emmapolette.com/new-page daily 0.75 2021-09-28 https://www.emmapolette.com/moon-phases-workout daily 0.75 2022-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/994b92f1-6452-40bd-80c5-0816b5105b05/pexels-cottonbro-4753996.jpg Moon Phases Workout Program - Here’s the problem with most exercise programs: They take a very masculine approach – “no pain no gain” etc They don’t consider fluctuations in hormones, mood, or energy levels They don’t take a holistic approach for body, mind, and spirit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1624675636876-DHNC99A5L933WDULMB3X/Barney+Couch+Edit.png Moon Phases Workout Program Back in my late 30’s, all I ever wanted was to lose the last 5 kilos. No matter how much I lost, I still wanted more. And that’s where my love/hate relationship with exercise began. I loved going to the gym at 5.30am (that’s what I told myself anyway) and it felt good to get strong and fit. But then I’d get injured, or I’d be away a lot for work, and I’d skip a few sessions. I’d start to hate my body again, so I’d get myself back to the gym as soon as possible. This pattern even inspired me to become a personal trainer. But here’s the thing – it just wasn’t sustainable. I was also battling endometriosis and at age 43 I had a full hysterectomy and became post-menopausal overnight. A post-menopausal body is not the same as a late 30’s body, believe me! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1639176161195-AHGHG1FM9GVBFGHG1OU5/unsplash-image-URLlQPnfG6Y.jpg Moon Phases Workout Program - Here’s how following the moon phases supports your workouts UNDERSTANDING YOUR EBBS & FLOWS & PLANNING ACCORDINGLY - the problem with traditional workout program is that they expect your energy levels to be HIGH all. the. time. And the moon shows us this is not possible. This program’s workouts will have varying intensity levels in line with the moon so you don’t have to be 100% every day. CULTIVATING COMPASSION - the moon shows us its not possible to shine brightly every day (night) but that doesn’t mean it gives up!! Following the phases of the moon allows us to be compassionate when we have low energy or having an off day and that we can shine brightly next time. HARNESSING THE MOON’S FEMININE ENERGY - for millennia humans have worked with the energy of the moon to create rituals that support setting goals and releasing negativity. In this program we’ll harness this energy to support your health & fitness goals. P.S. You don’t need to workout at night! The moon is there 24/7 and the energy is always surrounding us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1624676403992-2JK1RZ1L0EOI3SXOJ1EW/20180328_101948321_iOS.jpg Moon Phases Workout Program - I’m Emma Polette, your new Workout Coach After years of having my self-esteem battered by the corporate boys club while dealing with Stage 4 endometriosis, I ditched my six-figure corporate career in Sydney and moved to Albany, Western Australia in 2012 to start my multi-passionate business.

Not me, and I suspect, not you either. We are ready for an abundant life! One that allows great food with no shame or restriction, ever. One that celebrates all that our bodies CAN do and focuses on exercise for energy and joy rather than punishment for not looking “right”. One that is full of excitement, confidence, energy, and motivation to do the things we love, wear clothes that we love and spend time with people that we love. One that fosters respect for our bodies by offering it loving support and gentle nutrition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/331c53ad-5a5b-4b87-a3b4-6241dc211a4a/IMG_7425.jpg Private Coaching - This feels so familiar to me because that was my life too. Even when I wasn’t on a diet I was always trying to be “good” with my food and that morphed into being “good” every where else. Avoiding conflict with the bully at work, unsuccessfully avoiding the vending machine, skipping workouts to make up for lost time that was spent thinking about food (and the bully) and rewarding myself with alcohol and carbs (N.B. there is nothing wrong with wine or carbs but if they are only joy in your life, and/or you feel guilty about them, then things are a little out of balance). I thought the best way to fix all of this was to leave the corporate career behind and become a health coach and personal trainer. But for a while this led to an obsession with being “healthy” which was actually a brush with disordered eating. ALL I thought about was food and exercise and losing the last 5 kilos (even if by some miracle I lost a couple it was always another 5). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/7a328321-6e0f-4e8d-bbc2-39070d0d598b/IMG_7380.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/86a52a0e-703c-4267-bf69-e808c06c1919/Untitled+design.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/004e8983-812d-4df9-901e-7018df339d78/75A0286F-9613-471E-BB0F-BBF29C8C0186.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/37def7e2-f7a3-4bf1-95ac-6e70006433d7/IMG-0858.jpg Private Coaching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/b7b8fde6-20e4-4059-91c0-960851a8d1a5/20220219_080512000_iOS.png Private Coaching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/40ce5146-1c0a-4316-ae48-6a1f030045da/IMG_7555.jpg Private Coaching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.emmapolette.com/youre-in-for-the-7day-plank-challenge daily 0.75 2022-09-27 https://www.emmapolette.com/plank daily 0.75 2022-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605c4009446be66105558e29/1656153512117-GTY4VYCYVMZHTQ71G0H3/unsplash-image-nF8xhLMmg0c.jpg 7-day Plank Challege - Your health & fitness is arguably the most important thing in your life.
