      Our Story

      TAIS FROGGATT– DREAMER – FOUNDER AND YOGA INSTRUCTOR

      Change can come in many forms in our lives. It might come forcefully like a tidal wave, or creep along incrementally like a glacier. It might come in the form of devastating tragedy, difficult choices, broken relationships, or even new opportunities.

      Accomplishing anything great in life requires a significant change that pushes us beyond our comfort zones.

      Many times the only way to improve our lives is to force ourselves to undergo change. That might mean breaking up and leaving a stale – but comfortable relationship, leaving a mediocre, but stable job, moving away from a nice, but uninspiring location, or anything else that’s holding us back from accomplishing our dreams.

      Of course, dealing with uninvited change in our lives is not easy. In many cases, instigating major, but necessary change, can be traumatic. But whatever change you’re dealing with, know that how you cope with that change will have an impact on your future.

      For me this was true at the age of thirty, when I gave up the dream of living in paradise. Up until then I had been island hopping, being the ultimate globetrotter, and spending time in the Mediterranean on private sailboats, working for some of the world’s most influential people.

      I’ve seen a great deal of the world and managed to see through a window into the lives of other people and other cultures. I have come to love the laid back island life – relaxed, barefoot, bikini, trouble free, water and sun abounding, lots of smiling faces.

      I couldn’t image my life without the watersports that I have come to love – surfing, diving, sailing. For when I am close to water, whether on the surface or down below, I feel a sense of freedom and inner peace.

      I completed my first Yoga teacher training with Drishti Yoga teacher training on the beautiful island of Santorini. During my time there, I came to feel the re-energization in body and soul. I knew then what my next chapter was to be. 

      To go back to the world I know, and to show an incredible bunch of people what it is like see the world through Yoga.

      The wanderlust within me wanted to share this process of transformation with others. The art of being able to step outside everything you’ve always known, to take risks, to remove the label of conformity, and to encourage others to be whatever they want to be, to make space for you to be the happiest you.

      I finally launched my dream.

      Peat’s Bite in Australia, St Kitts & Nevis, Grenadines, St Lucia, Dominica, Mykonos, Cuba, Myanmar, Cambodia & Vietnam. It’s my privilege to share this journey with so many other like-minded individuals and to bring them together to re-inject that sparkle and connection with themselves and each other.

      I welcome you to experience and discover the best you. 

      “Buy the ticket, get a tan, fall in love & never return.”
