KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I noticed that a lot of women had a lot of emotions that came up through the movement, so the basis of Goddess Yoga is to love your curves, our bodies change when we have kids, a bit of your body doesn't bounce back and you gain weight, you get stretch marks. I started hating my body, but through learning these movements I rediscovered and began to love my body and myself again. I knew I connect to other women in this way. There’s an element of counselling and life coaching as well and we go on retreats as well.
- Society puts dampers on emotions and has taught us they’re bad, especially with men; you’re not supposed to cry. We experience emotions for a reason, they’re our guideline. Through my own life coach training I’ve learned it’s important to really feel, the power in your words alone are amazing. What you speak goes out into the universe and are heard, and that’s where manifestation comes in. Let go of your fear and step into your courage.
- The guidance I was given by my life coach really helped me discover my fears and how to shift my language so I can create a life I truly love. From the day I stopped teaching and resigned, I’ve not had a heart palpitation since and my thyroid medication dosage has drastically dropped for the first time in over 20 years. As a life coach I’m healing my body as well as doing what I love to do.
- Women can support each other by looking at another woman for the very first time without seeing their background and the limited beliefs they may have within, look at them for the very first time as a blessing. We all have ‘stuff’ and limiting beliefs. It’s about looking past that and seeing the blessings in life and being grateful for everything, even the things that seem challenging.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We really delve into the emotional journey of life and what’s going on within you. We tend to carry around a lot of trauma and yoga really squished them out.’
‘Life tends to get in the way sometimes and we take on different beliefs and limited patterns and we forget who we are and who we were created to be. I try to remind women of who they were meant to be, the sky’s the limit.’
‘We can co-create our life, it’s a choice and you can choose for life not to be hard by simply shifting your language. Life can be fun and easy.’
‘Life is beautiful and it’s important to see everything is a blessing.’

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
