Explore Discover - Yoga & PT

Candice 'Kat' Walker-Burns

I offer a wide range of services - Beginners/Intermediate Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Mums Bubs Yoga, Kids Yoga, Group Fitness Classes, Personal Training, Private/Group Classes & Corporate Classes - either online, outdoors, or at your chosen location.

My mission is to help you increase your fitness and energy levels, your quality of life and your passion for each day. I will guide you down the path to find that you can actually enjoy an active lifestyle; that the journey to finding and maintaining health and wellness doesn’t have to be a torturous chore, and that peace and happiness in the self - inside and out - is possible.

We usually have to reach a point of ultimate darkness to be ready to give ourselves up to the light. It was a gradual process for me and bit by bit the puzzle pieces came together. I have learned that happiness is an inside job. I’ve learnt to love myself to accept all lessons in life, as well giving up judgement of myself and others. I wouldn’t say that I have mastered this ability, but I have come a long way and I can now recognise harmful thoughts before they consume me. The more stillness and meditation I allow myself, and the more I listen to my thoughts and focus on remaining present in each moment, the more I can hear my intuition and be guided towards the greater good. I’ve progressed from playing the victim and being overwhelmed by drama and negativity, to asking the universe how I can serve – how can I give back?

That’s when the path I am now on opened up to me. My love for Yoga and Fitness has changed my life, as cheesy as that sounds! I released fear and jumped into the unknown by starting up my own business – Explore Discover. I am a qualified yoga teacher and personal trainer and my mission is to share my knowledge and support others on their unique health & wellness journeys.

Yoga

Yoga is for every body. Age, size, gender, fitness level – doesn’t matter.

People constantly tell me “I’m not flexible enough for yoga”…. My answer to that is, the more inflexible you are; the more your body needs yoga!

We start off in life incredibly flexible and limber, and over time, repetitive movements and inactivity slowly starts to lock our bodies into place. It is never too late to make a change and make a difference to how your body feels, and how you feel.

Additional to the physical aspects is the incredible life changing effect that yoga can have on the mind too - if you are open to it. We spend so much of our lives constantly in Go Go Go mode, always busy and never stopping to recharge, which leads to us burning out physically and emotionally. Living in the future or the past, we forget to enjoy the present and to savour each moment. Yoga can help us find the stillness within, which in turn, allows us to find inner peace and opens up the pathway to connect to our intuition.

Yoga is not about what you look like in a pose, being better than the person next to you in class, or pushing yourself to your limits. It’s all about learning to listen to what your body is telling you, learning to be gentle to yourself (and others), letting go of judgement, and healing yourself from the inside out. It’s about being present in the moment, letting go of the internal chatter and reconnecting to the breath. As we balance and align our bodies, we also come into alignment and balance within our mind and spirit.

Personal Traning

Does the thought of exercise make you groan?

You know you should be doing it but it’s just too much effort?

I used to feel the same way...

I’ve learnt that I can love an active lifestyle, and now I don’t want to live without it. I’ve found a way for it to be enjoyable and not a chore, and I can show you how. It doesn’t have to be a struggle where you are exhausted afterwards, and you can’t walk the next day. It doesn’t have to be the same monotonous routine where you never end up seeing or feeling any results. You don’t have to spend 2 hours at the gym every day destroying yourself and living off bland salads to be healthy.

It is detrimental to your health to over-stress the body with too much high intensity exercise. Don’t get me wrong, working up a good sweat and challenging the body is still necessary, but not for the duration you think. The body needs time to heal and recharge for positive changes and adaptation to happen - like a car, you can’t be in 5th gear all the time, you need time in each gear, and you need to refuel and change the oil every so often. Your body needs constant change and variation to avoid hitting plateaus. And most importantly, it’s meant to be fun, otherwise it’s not sustainable - who would have thought?!
