Brisbane pt. 2

(11th Jan 2026)

I arrived at my hotel at around 9am on 1st Jan (Happy New Year to me) and headed straight out to buy some emergency supplies (clothing). I had a short wander along the high street, but I wasn’t up to much more – I didn’t see a scenario where I stayed awake until the evening, so once I felt I had no more to give, I sank gratefully into a real bed and was asleep before my head met pillow.

I conked out at 3pm-ish and got a solid 12 hours before awaking bright-eyed and bushy tailed. I decided to go for a run whilst I had the energy and inclination, and took a route through the nearby botanical gardens then along Brisbane’s river walk – a beautiful pathway that hugs the river running through the city – made even more beautiful by the early morning sun and lack of other people.

I joined Bethan on the shuttle bus a few hours later for the first of our two rig days; what threatened to be a terribly tricky, soul sapping rig went surprisingly smoothly, and our bubble never really burst after that. I got my body on Oz time after a few more sleeps, and aside from a few minor gremlins that we ironed out over the first two days, all was sunshine and rainbows in the GFX cabin (plenty of sunshine outside, too!).

It took 3 days, but I was eventually reunited with my luggage – I’m not sure I’ve been so glad to see another person before, let alone an inanimate object! By the time it arrived, I’d made two visits to Target for additional clothes, and since I’m not holding out much hope of Qatar Airways doing the right thing (still awaiting a response to my scathing email), I was glad I could stop spending my own money on unnecessary threads.

I started to feel a bit run down midway through the week – Bethan felt she might have been the culprit after recently recovering from a cold, but it could well have been a result of our travel saga. I was happy to blame it on QA along with everything else, but it sadly put paid to my more ambitious sightseeing plans for most of the week. I managed a solitary walk one evening to a nearby park as the sun was setting; I enjoyed watching the birds swarming across the sky, even more so when I realised they were swarms of bats! Several flew directly overhead, giving me a clear view of that iconic silhouette.

As the week neared a close, I started to feel better and up for some gentle fun. This was doubly welcome, as my old AE colleague and travel buddy Jodie was in Brisbane, also working on the tennis. On my sunset walk through the park, I’d stumbled across an outdoor cinema which was showing a different film every night of my stay; I suggested it to Jodie, who was keen on the idea. The film options weren’t particularly up my street but Jodie was very keen to see Wicked 2…not something I’d have picked myself, but I wasn’t sure we’d get another chance to hang out so I bit my tongue and agreed to go watch it.

The film didn’t do a lot for me, but I still enjoyed our few hours sat in the open air. Jodie gave me a brief synopsis of Part 1 as I wasn’t familiar with the Wicked storyline, but I was familiar enough with The Wizard of Oz to see the puzzle pieces start to fall into place. Despite being dead set on seeing Wicked, Jodie admitted she’d never seen The Wizard of Oz (“there’s a lion, a witch and a wardrobe, right?”), so towards the end of the film I was the one filling her in on certain plot points (“Dorothy arrives in her house and splats whatsername”). The heavens momentarily opened and caused the staff to pause the film for five minutes before resuming; the towels I’d brought to sit on ended up being quite useful!

Once the credits had rolled, Jodie introduced me to Yo-Chi, a self-serve, soft-serve ice cream chain found across Australia; it’s a hugely popular spot (evidenced by the queue out the door at 10pm). The fun is choosing your ice cream flavour and then deciding which of the countless toppings to festoon it with! I maxed out my bowl with half mango, half vanilla ice cream, then a smattering of seasonings – the most interesting being mango fruit pearls, which look like fish eggs but pop like bubble wrap in your mouth, releasing sweet fruit juice. I will definitely be keeping a beady eye out for the Yo-Chi sign as my travels continue…

Yo-Chi Blends Mindfulness And Strength Training

When it concerns health and also handling stress and anxiety,”mindfulness “appears to be the buzzword of the day – maybe, with great factor. Called the mental procedure of concentrating on one’s interior experiences taking place in today minute, some research studies have actually revealed that exercising mindfulness could reduce anxiousness, rise mind task in the world of positivity and also durability, or even enhance one’s their body immune system.

When contributed to health and fitness courses, mindfulness – which could be created via the method of reflection and also various other training – has actually been revealed to supply also additional physical advantages by triggering muscle mass as well as activity patterns a lot more purposely.

Though individuals obtain a fantastic exercise via Yo-Chi, Biscontini stresses general health, as well as not simply physical fitness; he intends to have Yo-Chi step past the floor covering, right into life. “It’s not health and fitness; it’s to encourage your life to be a champ of living when you are off of the floor covering,” he claims.

A 30-to 45-minute Yo-Chi course alternates in between five-minute sectors of yoga exercise as well as tai chi, with a full blend of both kinds at first and also end of course. Courses start with tai chi activities, to boost synovial liquid, or oil the joints.

Advantages of Yo-Chi

Past the mindfulness advantages of Yo-Chi, the program works with both security, via yoga exercise, as well as wheelchair, with tai chi. The mix of security and also movement mirrors normal life, where we utilize security to stabilize us as we undergo our day-to-day tasks (flexibility). Furthermore, yoga exercise gives isometric training, while tai chi offers isotonic training to the muscular tissues.

Though Biscontini has actually merged yoga exercise and also tai chi, he has actually not altered the real types of both old techniques. You’ll discover motions like tai chi’s swing arms via clouds as well as yoga exercise’s chair, warrior and also eagle presents.

Yo-Chi adjustments songs, breathing designs and also concentrate with each five-minute sector.

Throughout the yoga exercise sectors, individuals enhance muscle mass toughness, equilibrium, positioning and also versatility. Research study additionally has actually revealed yoga exercise helps in reducing anxiety as well as could alleviate cardiovascular disease as well as diabetic issues variables.

Within tai chi sectors, individuals collaborate with equilibrium, sychronisation, core toughness, power as well as focus to being a component of a team, instead of simply one person “exercising.”

Advantages of slow-moving activity via tai chi likewise encompass far better sports efficiency, due to the fact that all the muscle mass in the body are interacting with each other, or, to puts it simply, switched on, as well as loosened up while exercising constant motion. In yoga exercise, the muscle mass have the tendency to continue to be acquired to hold an asana. Generally, tai chi is made use of to assist power circulation a lot more effectively with the body, and also boost “chi,” or vital force. Yo-Chi integrates this technique by exercising tai chi types, thought to open up power circulation.

Along with leisure as well as much better power circulation, a current research in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society indicated minimized high blood pressure as well as state of mind disruptions. A research study released in International Journal of Sports Medicine suggested a rise in the variety of T-cells, which associate to greater immune feature, in Tai Chi experts.

Yo-Chi is an excellent course to tackle “day of rest,” in between sturdy exercises, due to the fact that it obtains your blood removaling with mild motions, which inevitably aids remediation as well as recovery.

A lot more Yo-Chi Fun

Much like Zumba as well as various other physical fitness programs, Yo-Chi deals off-shoots, like Hydro Yo-Chi, in water; Yo-Chi Ball, which utilizes security spheres; Yo-Cycle, which infuses yoga exercise positions and also stretches after biking and also integrates tai chi in the biking session; as well as Yo-Chi Glow, where, think it or otherwise, the last 20 mins concentrates on relocating exceptionally dark light with radiance adheres to engaging songs. Biscontini contrasts Yo-Chi Glow to “a spiritual church experience for the physical fitness spirit.”

Yo-Chi courses offer an enjoyable experience, which mixes revers – security as well as movement, internal as well as external recognition, flooring job as well as standing, contraction as well as leisure, yin and also yang– right into a conscious, incorporated exercise.
