My travels lead me to India and Sri Lanka,<br \/>where I discovered N\u0101da Yoga, blending my musical roots with the power of movement and vibration. Later, I studied Thai massage in Chiang Mai deepening my understanding of the body and learning to offer more refined and supportive relaxation practices.<\/p><p>Fermata was born 10 years ago during a family holiday in California. I was on the beach with my nieces just playing around yoga asanas when my brother in law, a musician, reminded me of the musical symbol Fermata. In music, a fermata marks a note to be held in a pause at the performer\u2019s discretion. It instantly felt like the perfect fit for my yoga style!<br \/><br \/>I\u2019ve spent several years in Kalbarri, where yoga has connected me with a wonderful local sangha, while I\u2019ve been cultivating my own little permaculture sanctuary and wellness accommodation at home. The people and the land keep me in tune with the seasons and life\u2019s natural cycles. I\u2019m now embarking<br \/>on a career in counselling, as I believe true healing begins deep within the spirit and a conscious mind. Through movement, sound and mindful living I hope to inspire others to reconnect with themselves and the natural rhythm of<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cf946c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5cf946c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"247\" height=\"91\" src=\"https:\/\/cwsdemowebsites.com\/fermata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/before.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-118\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-734bd27 meet-col\" data-id=\"734bd27\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92d2e06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"92d2e06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/cwsdemowebsites.com\/fermata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Meet.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-960\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cwsdemowebsites.com\/fermata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Meet.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cwsdemowebsites.com\/fermata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Meet-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cwsdemowebsites.com\/fermata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Meet-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cwsdemowebsites.com\/fermata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Meet-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cwsdemowebsites.com\/fermata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Meet-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-98a29a0 note-sec elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"98a29a0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bb50602\" data-id=\"bb50602\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c21ee19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c21ee19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"123\" height=\"72\" src=\"https:\/\/cwsdemowebsites.com\/fermata\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Group-5.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-47\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93679e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"93679e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>A Note of Gratitude<br \/><\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m deeply grateful to Teal for creating the space where we could share our passion for Pilates and Yoga in Kalbarri.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Thank you to Krystle for the beautiful studio photos that capture the spirit of our practice, and to Lucia for the outdoor images, especially for the laughter we shared when I fell out of poses and for capturing the magic of our coastal cliffs.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m also grateful to my amazing friends and photo models: Rapha, Lucia, Spencer, Pam, Lucas, Abbey, Tom, Sisa and Alie.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">A heartfelt thank you to the original sangha from our Saturday morning sessions at the Yoga Barn &amp; biggest fans!
