A singer, a teacher, a student of yoga, a devotee

And always a work in progress

Hi I’m Lucy — the heart and voice behind Blue Wren Bhakti.

This is the story of how twenty-five years of yoga, a broken body, and the ancient river of mantra brought me home to myself.

A Life Woven With Yoga — Long Before I Knew Its Name

Yoga began calling me when I was still a teenager.

My bedroom walls were a strange collage — Pearl Jam & Nirvana posters hanging beside Hindu deities — and none of my friends understood why. Truthfully, neither did I. I was simply drawn to something ancient and familiar.

Looking back, the path had already begun.

For twenty-five years, yoga has been the thread running through every chapter of my life:

Hatha, somatics, meditation, philosophy, mantra, Vedic chanting, Sanskrit, the Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and the devotional heart of Bhakti.

I hold a 500hr Yoga Australia Teacher Training, a 50hr Yin Yoga certification, and I’ve studied Ayurveda, which continues to shape the way I teach, move, and live.

The Injury That Became a Doorway

When a back injury suddenly ended my midwifery studies, my life collapsed. I was told by specialists I would never practice yoga again, and I was devastated. I spent two years trying to walk again, and I was giving up...

But that breaking wasn’t punishment — it was initiation.

I healed through meditation, visualisation, breathwork, Ayurveda, and a softer, therapeutic approach to yoga.

The injury didn’t take me away from yoga.

It took me into its deepest, most subtle layers, where movement gave way to listening and effort softened into devotion.

It was there that sound found me- not as performance, but as prayer- and mantra became the way I reached the divine.

Through vibration and breath I learned to rest inside what cannot be injured, to be carried rather than to push, until the sacred revealed itself as something intimate, steady and quietly alive in me.

'Om karomi yadyat sakalaṁ parasmai

nārāyaṇāya iti samarpayāmi'

~ All that I do in every moment & in every action,

I offer wholly & completely to the divine.

Where I Sing Today

I chant at temples and yoga studios across Perth.

I lead Kirtan with my wonderful & talented bandmates — guitar, percussion, drums, didgeridoo, harmonium, tanpura — a devotional storm of sound I adore.

I sing with the Gaiea Sanskrit Global Cosmic Choir, which I aim to bring to Perth in the near future.

"Everyone can sing"

My deepest offering is 1:1 Singing Therapy — healing singing classes for anyone whose voice feels blocked, shy, uncertain, wounded, or forgotten.

Breath and resonance

Harmonium & tanpura

Indian vocal technique

Yogic + Vedic sound practice

Emotional release

Nervous system repair

Devotional singing

Voice reclamation

This isn’t about sounding perfect.

It’s about sounding true.

It’s about reclaiming the part of you that was never allowed to be heard.

And its about finding your voice

Blue Wren Bhakti — A Homecoming

The blue wren has followed me for years —

Blue Wren Bhakti is the place where all the strands of my life come together:

Yoga.

A home for transformation.

If you feel called, I’m here — with my harmonium, my tanpura, my lineage, and the practices that rebuilt my life from the inside out. I would be so delighted to share them with you.
