Today I’ve been reflecting on the seat of the teacher… and the responsibility that comes with it.

Truthfully, this role hasn’t always felt natural to me.
Standing in front of others, speaking, guiding… it is outside of my comfort zone.

And yet, I keep returning here.

Because yoga has been my teacher through all of this.
It has held me, grounded me, and guided me through some of the most challenging times in my life.
With the right guidance, and the wisdom of this ancient practice, it has supported me in healing from my own experiences of trauma.

I have been a student of this practice for most of my life.
Nine years ago, I chose to step into my first teacher training ~ not to teach, but to deepen my own understanding and connection.

And that journey continues.

My home is filled with this practice ~ books stacked in my sacred space, beside my bed, under my bed… it’s something I live and breathe.
Each class, workshop, and retreat I offer is something I spend time with ~ reading, writing, reflecting, embodying.

Much of this journey is deeply personal. Quiet. Ongoing.

When I teach, my intention is not just to guide a physical practice, but to offer an experience.
Weaving in philosophy, mantra, meditation, and breath ~ so it becomes something that can be felt in the whole body mind system.

Because yoga isn’t just what happens on the mat.
The real magic is how it lingers… how it threads into your day, your relationships, your life.

This practice is not mine to hold onto.
It is something I feel deeply honoured to share.

To those who trust me to guide them in this space ~ I don’t take that lightly.

It is a privilege. Always. 🩵

Satya - truthfulness.

Satya invites us to live in alignment with truth - in our thoughts, our speech, and our actions.

But truthfulness isn’t always easy.

Often the lies we tell are not meant to harm.
They are ways we learned to protect ourselves.

We might soften the truth to avoid conflict.
To people please.
To keep belonging.
Or because somewhere inside there is fear.

Fear of rejection.
Fear of not being enough.
Fear of losing connection.

So the practice of Satya asks something courageous of us.

To pause.
To notice when we are not being fully truthful - and gently ask why.

Not with judgment.
But with curiosity.

Because often beneath the lie is something tender that once needed protection.

Satya asks for courage.
But it also asks for compassion.

Truth and kindness must travel together.

This is why Satya is a practice - an awareness we cultivate slowly over time.
Learning to meet ourselves with honesty, while also holding ourselves with kindness.

When truth and compassion walk together, something begins to soften.

Life becomes a little clearer.
A little more grounded.

And a little lighter.

A gentle reminder for all of us - myself included - to notice the stories we carry, the ways we protect ourselves, and the courage it takes to live a little more truthfully each day.

This month in my practices we are exploring the Yamas ~ the first ethical guidelines of yoga from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

They are often translated as restraints, but I like to think of them more as gentle guideposts. Foundations. Pillars that support a life lived with awareness.

We begin with the first and most important: Ahimsa ~ non-violence, non-harming.

Everything grows from this.

Ahimsa asks us to look at how we move through the world ~ in our thoughts, our speech, and our actions. And before we look outward, yoga gently invites us to begin within.

So often the ways we are harsh with ourselves come from fear.
Fear of not being good enough.
Fear of not doing enough.
Fear of not being worthy.

In a culture that moves fast and celebrates productivity, it is easy to override the body’s quieter signals ~ the whispers to slow down, to rest, to recover.

We can become violent in subtle ways:
through the thoughts we think about ourselves,
through the language we use toward ourselves,
through the actions of pushing our bodies to do more and be more.

Ahimsa begins with awareness.

Not perfection.
Just noticing.

The moment we see the sharp edge of self-criticism…
and choose something softer.

Kindness.
Compassion.
Patience.

And when we begin practicing non-harm toward ourselves, something beautiful happens ~ it ripples outward into how we meet others and the world around us.

A small reminder for you ~ and for me ~ that yoga is not about how deep the posture is.

It is about the relationship we have with ourselves inside the posture.

Ahimsa is the first gem.

And from it, a more joyful, peaceful way of living can grow. 🪴💫✨

It’s been a week since we closed our four days together…

And I’ve been gently allowing it all to land.

Over those days we gathered in a space of deep listening, learning, slowing down, and connection ~ exploring trauma-informed yoga through the lens of safety, nervous system care, and embodied practice.

This past week, I’ve given myself time to reflect… and to rest.

To integrate what unfolded.
To sit with the closing circle.
To let the experience settle in my own nervous system.

I keep returning to the reflections shared:

“One of the best trainings I’ve attended.”
“I loved how the room was set ~ the welcome energy was felt straight away.”
“The manual is incredible ~ so digestible and easy to follow.”
“This course has given me back my love for yoga again.”
“The nervous system is everything.”

I receive these words with humility.

More than anything, I feel grateful.

Grateful for each person who said yes to this work.
Grateful for the openness in the room.
Grateful for the willingness to learn, reflect, and grow together.

This training isn’t something I simply deliver from the front of the room ~ it’s something we co-create.

The safety, the care, the inclusivity…
It’s shaped by every person who arrives.

This work comes from a deeply personal place for me, and I hold it with responsibility, tenderness, and respect.

To witness it resonate…
To see people reconnect with their love of yoga…
To watch nervous systems soften and hearts open…

It means more than I can fully express.

A week later, I feel the quiet ripple continuing.

This is not the end of the journey ~ it’s the beginning.

The practices move outward…
Into classrooms, communities, families…
And into the ways we care for ourselves.

So much gratitude to this incredible group for trusting me ~ and for trusting the work.

Thank you Amy
for trusting me into your space and community. Thank you for your energy, presence, hugs 🫂 and friendship. 💫✨

Come sit with me for a Loving Kindness Meditation ~ Metta.

Metta is a gentle heart practice.
A returning.
A remembering.

Through simple phrases and quiet presence, we offer compassion ~ first to ourselves and then to all beings everywhere.

It is not about forcing positivity.
It is about softening.
About meeting what is here with kindness.

In a world that can feel fast, divided, and tender, this practice helps cultivate peace within ~ and from that place, peace outward.

May I be free from resentment and conflict.
May I be free from physical suffering.
May I be free from mental suffering.
May I be free from danger.
May my mind and body be at peace.

May all beings be free from resentment and conflict.
May all beings be free from physical suffering.
May all beings be free from mental suffering.
May all beings be free from danger.
May all beings minds and bodies be at peace.

Come sit. 🩵

The rhythm of life has felt full lately.
Teacher training.
My regular teaching schedule.
Householder life.
School back.

It’s a lot ~ and I was expecting it.
And still… my intention this year is to live a spacious, slow, mindful, gentle life.

So today, knowing my schedule was full, I chose intentionally.
I said no to other things.
Yes to me.
Yes to spaciousness.
Tea.
Napping.
Reading.
Laying over bolsters.
More reading.
Silence.

Life can be full.
Life moves in rhythms of fullness and expansion.
But fullness all the time?

That isn’t sustainable.

When you know a busy season is coming ~ can you gently carve out space around it?
Can you choose moments that fill your cup?
Nourishing rest.
Soft pauses.
Intentional slowing.

We can hold both ~ a full life and a spacious one.
It begins with small, conscious choices 🩵
