An overdue update:
Yoga at Sunday Mulgrave Farmer’s Market is no more due to space taken up for the school redevelopment project. An end of an era and joyful chapter on this yoga journey, 8 years of meeting some beautiful souls, some more long lasting than others.

My apologies for not publicly announcing this as most had not seen the Insta story a couple weeks ago.

I’m in a process of an initiation of sorts as I take a few weeks off to tend to more cleansing and purifying and deepening my spiritual practice further.

I’ll be securing new space/s once I get back. Do reach out if you’d like to be updated.

Here’s a pic of today’s intimate yoga session, a beautiful space lovingly curated by dear Yvonne in her cosy home going through its own expansive process.

A powerful yoga session here, post my morning meditation with my Guru Shakti Durga, for the Navaratri festival; the
9 nights celebrating the victory of good over evil honouring the Divine feminine 🙏🏽
Humbled by the Grace of Kushmanda (Day 4 of 9) honouring the heart chakra and goddess Lakshmi, a blessing that I am truly grateful and still beaming with heartfelt gratitude 🥰
Post yoga glow; a gold star by Hugo (or Hugi as he’s lovingly called), the 14 year old furry friend with anxiety and dementia, who enjoyed a nap the entire time☺️)The best kind of quality assurance I’ve had for awhile 😅
(Swipe to see Hugi with his stuffed duck for company, in his zen state 🥰)

May you experience the true essence, fine-tuning your unique soul song as we journey through more cleansing, clearing and purifying of Self. Dismantling old narratives and structures that no longer serve the greater whole, through yet another transformative phase post eclipse and the festival of Navaratri 🙏🏽💖

I’ll have select appointments for private yoga/meditation as well as Reiki and energy healing sessions (online only). DM for more information 🙏🏽💖

With love and blessings
Nadira 🙏🏽💖✨

A promise of Spring 🌸

A lightening in the air here in the Southern Hemisphere in the last month of winter: still cool but the air seems less dense. Love how Gaia, Mother Nature has her own in-built rhythms that navigate these cycles, reminding that She is a loving breathing wise Being 🙏🏽🌏

It’s been a significant slowing down and deepening in awareness this winter hibernation, a necessary step as we turn a powerful corner with many a planetary alignments heightening the potency of this journey of becoming.

For me personally this has been more awareness of the granthi (knots) that are present in the mind-body-soul scape, that needs more loving attention to shine a light to get a bit closer to the fullness of this Self and existence, an evolving journey.

For new beginnings and new energy to come in, the old and stagnant energy has to leave, which is the flux that we are seeing and experiencing personally and collectively.

For anyone struggling know that this too shall pass; an easy enough sentiment in theory but not so much in practice 🙈

Here’s to riding the cosmic waves expanding consciousness and growing towards our edges (yet again!).

May you find ease and Grace in the beauty of this unfolding. Even though it may not be as pretty right now, it will form part of a beautiful tapestry of life and love, just like Gaia does so splendidly, every singe time 🌼🌈🌱

The view from the top ✈️

A weekend escape interstate to Sydney (Warrane country) meeting a Guru (spiritual teacher) and yet another initiation on this journey of becoming 🙏🏽🪷

A well timed trip with another house move and the chaos that surrounds the endings for new beginnings to enter. A reset that was necessary to get a clearer perspective, on the heels of Guru Purnima and the Blue Full Moon next weekend, all ripe conditions that speed up the transformation process.

Being up in the sky amongst the clouds to zoom out of the small Self and issues (depicted by this photo of the clouds) helped reframe the situation “as is”. Despite the chaos outwardly evident, this is all a necessary part of the process being in a Kali Yuga.

Ever so grateful for the blessings of meeting gurus, being privy to mystical wisdom, and being part of a community that emphasises and supports the challenges of growing into our edges with kindness, compassion and being of service.
My second trip this year on the path of expanding consciousness; a luxury and privilege I am ever so grateful for 🙏🏽✨💖

May you find the strength and fortitude on your chosen path, no matter the situation. May this serve as a reminder to “zoom out” to gain clearer perspective and know you are doing your best. After all, the more we clean the smudges in the mirror, the better we can see (within and without).
Light and love always wins, with conscious action.

A candid pose trying to stretch out the inertia of driving over 13 hours 😊 and reminded of the infinite beauty and bounty of Gaia, Mother Nature 🌏🌱

Valuing the practice I am so blessed to enjoy; the balance between movement, stillness and BEing 🕉🙏🏽🌸 🌅

A journey of becoming, a love letter to the Self 🙏🏽💖

Celebrating another year round the Sun in my happy places 🙏🏽💖

I usually prefer low key birthdays as I feel life should be celebrated everyday. Given these strange and tender times, my measure of success is the opportunities I take to honour this precious life that is boundless, if I so choose to let it; a deeper lesson in surrender 🕉💜☸️

This journey of transformation has been a humbling experience, and a privilege to share with Earth Day; expanding me to a greater level of awareness and consciousness to the Greater Whole. With much heartfelt gratitude to all the elements that got me to this moment 🙏🏽💖

Happy Mabon/ Autumn equinox from the Southern Hemisphere 🍂
While the Northern hemisphere celebrates Ostara with the Spring equinox.

Equinoxes are a time of equal night and day bringing the Earth into balance. I love how Nature has its own cycles with an inbuilt system of balance, something us humans keep forgetting about.

Today was a bit fresh weather wise (a bit of a shock to the system really)after some consistently hot days.
A gentle reminder from Mama Gaia to take time to slow down and reflect on the journey thus far, paying particular attention to the areas out of balance in our lives. An eclipse upon us as well this weekend paving the way for more clarity and “inner sight” to see what no longer serves.

The past few weeks’ focus of the yoga sessions were about honouring this transition, through movement and cleansing breath work. The ancient wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda work with the natural cycles of nature, as we are Nature.

Finding stillness to take stock of your life; the areas that need more balance in particular will help with the fortitude necessary to get through the slow and heavy winter months.

May you find the strength and balance to get through this next phase with as much Grace to see through your highest potential 🙏🏽💖✨

FULL MOON MEDITATION & COMMUNITY GATHERING 🌕

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a in-person community gathering; and this full moon in Virgo an auspicious time to gather in circle.
I’ve had a few conversations around the stresses of life individually as well as the angst felt collectively, and this would be a good opportunity to meet and practice some tools and techniques that can help ground and support in this process.

Date : Friday 23 February 2024
Time : 6.30pm for a 7pm start
Location : Boronia, VIC (details provided later)
Energy exchange : Donation based

Please RSVP by noon on Friday, for catering purposes.

We gather in circle for a meditation practice (no prior experience needed incl the need to sit cross-legged!)

There will be a vegetarian dinner to share,and chat after as well.

(Generally these gatherings go on till about 10pm or later depending on how juicy the conversations are! You’re welcome to stay for as little or as long as possible).

Looking forward to joining in circle 🙏🏽💕🌸
