Hello, and welcome to our first ever write up on the Saltbush journal. This is an exciting new chapter for Saltbush Stretch, enabling a new level of community connection and storytelling.
What a better way to share topics including:
Each week there will be new topics to explore, unpack and celebrate! So I hope you are as excited as I am (and maybe one day we might even launch a podcast) …but seriously it’s on my list of goals – so stay tuned for that too!
If you have any ideas, topics, events, or anything fabulous you think the Saltbush community would love…flick me a message and I’d be happy to add it into the mix…because at the end of the day…this is for you!
As they say…“give the people what they want”! But firstly I thought I would give you a little bit more about me…
If you haven’t picked up on it yet…I’m Em (Emily…not Emma HAHA – You would be surprised how much I get Emma)…but we are friends so you can call me Em! YAY! I am the voice (yes it’s loud at times)…the smile, the yoga and pilates babe behind the camera.
I created Saltbush Stretch to share my love of movement to the amazing women of the bush, through yoga and pilates. And if you are a part of the community The Saltbush Squad…you know you are a SQUAD BABE! Yassss queen!
I grew up between Hay and Griffith in the heart of the Riverina on a sheep grazing property, so my love has always been in the bush and the people within it. I really fell in love with yoga after moving back to the bush after living in Sydney, as there were no options for me to ever attend a class out here. So, I was determined to change that for women of the bush! Because we are pretty bloody amazing! YEP…YOU ARE AMAZING!
I completed my yoga teacher training in February 2018 and completed my mat pilates training in September 2022 and I feel so blessed that Saltbush Stretch has allowed me to connect with so many amazing women of the bush and this is only the beginning!
So, if you are reading this and you have been a Squad babe since 2018 (so blessed to still have you putting up with my craziness)…or maybe you are still on the fence about becoming a Squad babe! Regardless of where you might sit…thanks for your love and support and bring on more goodness from The Saltbush Journal.
Big love. Em xx
