HARVEST YOUR HEALTH
BEVERLY MCCULLOCH, YOGA HEALTH COACH & THERAPIST, HEALING HEART YOGA a long-lasting healthy relationship with food for easeful and graceful living and aging. Body. Mind. Spirit. I’m a Certified Yoga Health Coach, Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist. My training is based in tradition with most of my study done in India, investing in my own wellness with a goal of being able to share the teachings to help others in their own healing. I’ve been teaching Yoga for over 13 years, have run teacher training, practice Yoga Therapy (personalised Yoga working on a multidimensional basis), I teach local Yoga classes and pre-COVID I was taking groups annually to India.
I’m Beverly McCulloch, the founder of Healing Heart Yoga, a Yoga centre based in Taree. My life is teaching, sharing and embracing the ancient teachings and wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda, both thousands of years old and now being validated by modern science as some of the most effective ways to regain our full health and wellness. I have a clear life purpose – in yoga we refer to it as dharma. Supporting and guiding motivated people on their journey to reduce stress, live a life in alignment with rhythm of the days and seasons as well as their values and form
My main focus now is an online programme “Harvest Your Health: Change your habits, change your life” that introduces members to simple daily self-care and eating habits that help them regain their natural state of health and stay vibrant and healthy while realising their full human potential. I coach members on identifying their limiting habits and replacing them with ones that will support achieving their personal goals, whatever that may be for each individual. For members who are local, we have monthly face to face gatherings in my studio to maintain the connection and community of the group. It’s the group connection that truly empowers the women where they
all support each other. After 18 months of running this programme, the results speak for themselves. It’s not a quick fix – it’s a lifestyle for lifelong change. Whether it’s losing weight (and keeping it off), sleeping better, reducing anxiety, finding flow in your life – getting back the joy – it’s all there for us, we just need to have the skills to unearth it. I’m currently offering a special six month membership for the seasons of Winter and Spring this year as a taster for the full programme of tweleve months. Subject to many passing fads, that offer 30 day challenges (or less), it does take a lot longer to change habits. We repeat the daily routines every season – to adapt to the change in season and also to go deeper each time. It then becomes an automated habit. No more decision fatigue. It’s a truly transformative journey for everyone in the programme. You take charge and responsibility of your own health, relationships so you can live your best life.

GEOFF AND LEANNE RETIRING IN A CARVER MOTOR CRUISER We were aboard a cruise ship where I was providing lectures to passengers when Covid hit. The route of the ship altered and then altered again and again before the directive was made for all ships to head for their home port. For us, that was the port at Southampton in England. Thus ended a 35 day cruise with 15 lectures that started asnine days with six talks. The cruise company flew us back to Brisbane where we underwent two weeks of hotel quarantine. On the second day of the quarantine, we realised that if we didn’t have something to do, we would go crazy, so we made the decision to join the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard in Caloundra once we were released. Leanne and I undertook and passed both boat crew training and base radio operator training but finding a rental property is all but impossible at the moment, so we made the decision to revert to our happy place and purchase a boat to live aboard and make our home. After much searching, we found a 43-foot Carver Motor Cruiser in Newcastle, NSW and are currently in the process of cruising her back up to the Sunshine Coast. Unfortunately, we have had some gearbox issues and have been “marooned” in Port Macquarie for the past five weeks. We have really enjoyed our time here though and have spent time exploring the city and surrounds. Meanwhile, our other boat is safely tucked away in a shed at a yacht club in the town of Meppen in Germany, close to the Dutch border and we’re looking forward to hopefully being able to travel back there this time next year. www.facebook.com/ContactRetiredAfloat
