The old healer to the soul:

It’s not your back that hurts, but the burden.

It’s not your eyes that hurt, but injustice.

It’s not your head that hurts, it’s your thoughts.

Not the throat, but what you don’t express or say with anger.

Not the stomach hurts, but what the soul does not digest.

It’s not the liver that hurts, it’s the anger.

It’s not your heart that hurts, but love.

And it is love itself that contains the most powerful medicine.

The world of spirit! Where our soul resides. The current of the River of Life. ⭐️🍃

Right now many people feel as if they are standing between two different worlds. One moment we are connected to Spirit, and then suddenly we are pulled back into the collective of contraction.

But there comes a time when we must stop straddling. Your spirit is eternal. When you devote yourself to your spiritual practices, you reconnect with the part of yourself that holds guidance, strength, and wisdom.

The world your mind focuses on becomes the world you inhabit. If we only focus on fear and the safety of the body, that becomes the dimension we live in. But when we devote ourselves to ceremony, to inner work, we step into another current of life, the current of the River of Life, where creativity and healing continue to unfold.

Right now we are being asked to make a choice. Choose the world your soul lives in.

New moon 🌑 & equinox vibes!!

Tonight’s new moon isn’t empty, it’s just quiet. It’s the kind of quiet where things begin without needing to be seen yet. Where you don’t have to have it all figured out, you just have to feel what’s ready to shift.

This is a softer kind of energy. A moment to slow down, check in with yourself, and be honest about what you want more of and what you’re ready to leave behind. You don’t need to explain your desires to anyone. You just need to admit them to yourself.

If something has been draining you, this is a good time to let it go. To clear space, gently. Not everything needs a big ending some things can simply be released.

Light a candle if it feels right. Write down a few intentions, or just sit with them. You don’t have to do anything perfectly. The power is in the intention, not the performance.

The new moon doesn’t ask you to do more it asks you to realign. To come back to yourself.

And remember, just because nothing is visible yet doesn’t mean nothing is happening. Some of the biggest changes start quietly, beneath the surface, long before they’re seen.

Take your time. Trust where you’re going.

What you begin now matters.

Welcome all new followers and friends. Message me to book in. Your future self will thank you. 🙏🏼

Have you been thinking about joining a yoga class with me?

Are you ready to embark on a self discovery journey home to who you are?

Are you willing to be gentle, honest and open with your body?

You see Yoga isn’t just postures and breathing. It’s an invitation to know yourself, to deepen, to soften, to feel into the discomfort and welcome all the uncomfortable sensations and rest, to allow the subconscious to organically unravel and truly see yourself from the core. To relax into your natural state of being.

Yoga is where we come to face ourselves and embrace exactly who we are and let go.

Alignment is an attitude, one that needs cultivating, tenacity and grace will ripen with the correct cultivation of conditions.

Please book in as spaces are limited and are filling rapidly.

Your future self will thank you.

Warmly
Michelle
Founder of Sacred Embers Yoga.

Self care begins the moment you open your eyes and the moment you close them, so with this in mind, why not awaken to a nourishing routine that nurtures from the inside out. I do this every morning on waking. It’s like a soothing balm that creates a therapeutic landscape from the inside out. It’s not fancy or performative, it’s sustainable, connective and embodied. It’s the body, the breath and hands connecting every fibre of your being. It’s so simple. Maybe give it a try and let me know your findings.

"The life of a mythology derives from the vitality of its symbols as metaphors delivering, not simply the idea, but a sense of actual participation in a realization of transcendence, infinity, and abundance ... Indeed, the first and most essential service of a mythology is this one, of opening the mind and heart to the utter wonder of all being. And the second service, then is cosmological: of representing the universe and the whole spectacle of nature, both as known to the mind and as beheld by the eye, as an epiphany of such kind that when lightning flashes, or a setting sun ignites the sky, or a deer is seen standing alerted, the exclamation 'Ah!' may be uttered as a recognition of divinity."

Thank you for sharing this.

Alignment is an attitude, aligning what you’re feeling with what you’re experiencing.

Synthesising the elements of experience, the soma, the breath, the movement, the focus, the senses, the withdrawal and cultivating the conditions to meet ourselves exactly where we’re at.

Stacking from the inside, to distribute the weight through the joints, muscles and tissues evenly to allow a natural pressure which metabolise and nourish.

Immersing ourselves through every aspect until we dissolve. Gentle nudges and cues can ease us to unravel, allowing the suggestions of the body & breath to guide. Listening is vital.

The signals are the language, the electrical charge.

Hello friends,

Here is an update for class times and what to expect:-

6 week Yin Yoga course commences from Monday 9th March.

Monday & Friday 9.30am.
Tuesday & Thursday 5.30pm & 7pm.

Yin is a slow, meditative practise that works with the fascia due to the mindful, extended holds in the posture. We encourage the breath to be diaphragmatic to stimulate the organs & tissues to communicate succinctly and metabolise the system. This in turn gently activates the vagus nerve which is in tune with your autonomic nervous system, this regulates and cultivates a deep therapeutic experience of release from bracing and clenching. Allowing the body to organically return to homeostasis.

This isn’t something you just try, it’s a practise that you show up for class after class. Taking the practise into your life is just as important as showing up for yourself.

Yin yoga can be triggering as we are exploring held tissues & organs that may of been bracing for many years. So please be patient and gentle with yourself. This is not a quick fix.

If you’re ready to embody this amazing practise, please send me a message.

Your future self will be so grateful.

Warmly
Michelle

A balanced practice isn’t always comfortable, but it is honest.

Gentle work builds safety and repair.
It teaches the nervous system that it doesn’t have to brace all the time.

More challenging work builds capacity.

It shows you where you quit early, where you tighten, where your mind starts bargaining.

But when practice turns brutal, it stops being training and starts being self punishment.

And when it stays only gentle, it can become another way to avoid growth.

Yoga asks for the middle path.
Effort with breath.
Edge with care.

Strong enough to build you.
Kind enough to keep you.

This!! ❤️‍🔥

𝗜𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘄 — 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸

The Year of the Wood Snake is coming to a close.

And Wood Snake energy doesn’t rush its endings.

This year was about 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩, survival through patience,
and learning how to bend without breaking.

Wood energy grows roots.
Snake energy sheds in silence.

𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨:
• Endure before you expanded
• Heal before you spoke
• Stabilize before you moved
• Learn who you were underneath survival

As this cycle winds down, it asks for one last thing:
𝙍𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙣𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥:
• More emotional than usual
• Physically tired for no clear reason
• Sensitive to people, noise, and obligation
• Done with explaining yourself
• Ready for something different — but not ready to run yet

This isn’t regression.
This is 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Wood Snake energy doesn’t rip things away.
She loosens them… until they fall off on their own.
The shedding.

If things feel like they’re slipping right now,
it’s because you’re not meant to carry them forward.

Rest.
Let go.
Finish gently.

You can feel the heat.
The fire is coming soon.

Conflict can be cathartic, it also can be damaging and we need to be able to rebuild and repair, to wisely tenderise the pain and hurt, to be accountable for our part without pointing the proverbial finger, this disempowers, we miss the memo, we divert from the opportunities to resolve.

Otherwise conflict is a misuse of energy and creates more angst, stress and turmoil. This plays havoc with our internal state. Conflict when utilised wisely with awareness, can bring on change of the favourable variety.
