Mischa & Lucy, Lucy & Mischa ~ Warrioresses of the Next Gen!
I have had the honour of guiding Mischa & Lucy these two soul sisters through Goddess Yoga flows for the past year, each week we meet, practice, flow, share & care. I am in awe of these two young warrioress's as they stand upon the precipice of their womanhood journey & with their sisterhood, they are strong forces of the future.
I am encouraged the world is in capable hands with these dear young ones, their approach to a life of witty creativity, social responsibility & strong femininity. They have wisdom beyond their 18 years yet a fresh fun approach to life as they damn well should at their age.

We flowed into our last Warrioress poses before their big move to Melbourne for University & for courageous life changes. Then we had this chat where we talked about what makes them the Warrioresses of our future for the ages...
1) Motivations: What makes you strive & thrive? What gets you out of bed in the morning?
M ~ Knowing I have to get up to find joy in everything I do, even in the mundane tasks, finding joy & appreciation.
L ~ By meeting weekly objectives! My first new year intention is about nourishing all the relationships I have, so helping people & trying to be a better self, using my growing confidence to make new connections, to meet new people & making the most of this life.
2) Inspirations: What/who/where inspires you? What influences your life?
M ~ I think 100% my biggest influence is my sister, when I was growing up I wanted to be just like her. & then when I was older & she moved out I kinda realised that everyone is just winging it! I think it made me realise that yes, I can do that too.
L ~ I want to keep forging my own path, to keep being better, knowing that I've got a lot of potential & keeping that alive. My mum has for sure influenced me, mostly strong women, mums friends, Leigh & Misch's mumma, women who have built their own businesses, this is what women do.
M ~ we are surrounded by so many strong women & so believe that is how life is, we are going to do the same.
L ~ & no laziness, who's going to do it if you don't?
3) Self Care: What rituals/routines/practices do you do use to nurture & strengthen yourself?
L ~ Good food, ensuring my belly is nourished. Nurturing the relationships I have, talking to people, making sure I'm communicating well, telling people they are beautiful too. Making sure the love I have for people is felt & that makes me feel a wholer person.
M ~ I think the cleansing things like simply having a shower, bathing, lathering yourself in moisturiser, but your soul is in experience, with people or by yourself going to the lookouts in the mountains, walking, looking out, appreciating the beauty of the mountains. & patting a cat!
L ~ & dogs. & my fish are my self care, they are me in a body of water, looking after them is looking after me.
Self Belief: What do you believe about yourself & how does that affect what you do?
L ~ I believe we're both very independent, self driven, a lot of people I love I can give credit to me doing well but a lot of my success has been me pushing myself & I like my self determination. & I like to take care of others too, I feel loved when I feel needed, I feel good about myself if I feel useful.
M ~ I feel that I know what I want & I trust that I'll get there, I feel I don't have to question myself, I trust I know what I want
L ~ Some would say stubborn.
M ~ I would say wrong.
L ~ You're very bright.
M ~ I'm always happy to listen to others but you've got to trust in yourself.
5) Warrioress: Your favourite style & why?
M ~ I love the skorts because I can wear them to yoga & I wear them out on the town a lot because they're so practical & they work well for me as I like a feminine style & they're fun! You're not gonna flash anyone because they're shorts underneath but still good for prancing around.
L ~ I don't have one of the Ultra running tops but if I was a runner I think they're just a must have but I love my leggings, they feel so good on hot days they feel cool, they are cool.
M ~ & our hoodies, we love them too.
Thank you lovelies, wishing you bright & bold futures for the next phase of university life & beyond into new spaces. You have been incredible yoga students & I know that you'll grow into your Warrioress power in all you do. Thanks for filling the Warrioress yoga space with eager energy, laughs & love.
