Yanti Amos

Richard and I often spend our week days passing like ships in the night - teaching, traveling, writing, mentoring, and juggling life. So every Sunday, we press pause and make space for what matters most.

Love isn’t just found in the big moments. Sometimes it’s sitting across from one another, sharing a meal, catching up on the day, and asking, “How are you really doing?”

Looking forward to dinner tonight with my soulmate, best friend, and favorite person . 🤩🫶🏽💐

Progress report: the yukata is on, the obi is (mostly) behaving, and I’m one step closer to Nagano! 🇯🇵😄🥋👊🏽
here we come! 🏯💴 👘

Happy 30th Birthday, Alex Grossman! 🎉

One of my fondest memories is reading storybooks to you when you were little. After a while, you’d put the book down and ask me to tell you a “mouth story” - a real story about something that had actually happened in my life.

Well, Alex, now you’re creating mouth stories of your own. 🤩😄📚📖

From a curious, thoughtful little boy to a chess-playing strategist, sports lover, film world veteran, and now Assistant Coach with the Brisbane Bullets, you’ve already built a remarkable collection of adventures, lessons, and experiences to share with friends, loved ones, players, and mentees in the years ahead.

We are so proud of the man you’ve become and excited for all that lies ahead.

Happy 30th birthday. We love you very much.

Yanti & Richard ❤️

Still one of my favourite memories. Celebrating 60 wonderful years of Richard with love, elegance, good company, and just a little samurai spirit. 🇯🇵🎉💐More than 3 years ago now but still so grateful for our community, the love and support over the years. Thank you Roald Smeets for hosting a stunning event ! ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Birthday Pat ! 🎂
A calm, steady presence in the dojo and in life.
You showed us that greatness doesn’t shout, it simply shows up, again and again, with discipline, humility, and heart.
Black belt earned the right way.
Scientist, role model, and a deeply kind human.
We are all better for having you among us. 🫶🏽👊🏽🥋🎉💐🥳🎈 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽‼️

To my wonderful mum Sjah, my mother-in-law Pauline, my sisters & , and my sister-in-law Jane, I’m so grateful for the love, strength, and connection we share. 👊🏽💪🏽👌🏽🫶🏽💐

Life didn’t take me down the path of motherhood, and there was a time when I longed for it deeply. But with time, I’ve come to feel truly at peace and incredibly blessed with the life I have - my soulmate , my work, and the many meaningful roles I get to play as an aunt, mentor, and guide to so many young people in my world.

There is so much love in my life, and so much of that comes from the women around me - your support, your wisdom, your presence. 🌸🌸🌸

And to my friends who are mothers, so many of you have shared that quiet feeling of not being enough. I see you. We see you. And we love and appreciate you, especially on those days when you second-guess yourself or when everything seems to suggest otherwise. Believe me, you are enough, and you are doing an incredible job. 🏆

To all the incredible mothers out there, in every form that love shows up - I wish you a day filled with appreciation, warmth, and joy. 🤍 ❤️❤️❤️

Productivity tip: 2 mins. Music on. Zero shame dancing 💃 😅
Highly recommend.
