🌑 New Moon in Cancer | Pushya Nakshatra
Jyotish Perspective

A sacred moment of renewal unfolds with the New Moon in Cancer, anchored in Pushya Nakshatra - the star of spiritual nourishment, devotion, and inner strength.

Pushya, ruled by Saturn, brings the qualities of stability, discipline, and deep receptivity. It supports strong spiritual practice, the ability to overcome negativity, and the quiet blossoming of creative insight rooted in soul-alignment.

This New Moon invites us to slow down, tend to our emotional world, and recommit to what truly sustains us - not only physically, but spiritually.

New Moon in Cancer - A Time to:
• Rest and allow deep healing
• Begin or deepen your sadhana (spiritual practice)
• Start self-care routines that nourish rather than deplete
• Reset your diet and daily rhythms in alignment with nature
• Anchor into resilience, simplicity, and inner devotion

The teachings of Pushya remind us: Growth takes root in stillness. Nourishment begins within.

Join me this evening at 6:15 PM CET for a New Moon Practice on Instagram Live.
Together we’ll align with this auspicious energy through a 40-minute Integrated Himalayan Kriya Practice, including breathwork, kriyas, and meditation.

Let this new moon carry you back to your center - steady, spacious, and sacred.

I was feeling tired…
Jet-lagged, heavy, and a bit out of sync after a long day of international travel. My body was sluggish, my mind foggy, and my digestion felt unsettled.

This morning, I turned to what always helps me come back to myself - an Integrated Himalayan Kriya Yoga practice. Movement, breath, mantra, mudra… and something began to shift.

🌸 My energy returned.
🌸 My digestive fire was reignited.
🌸 My mind became clear and focused.
🌸 I felt grounded and fully present again.

The ancient science of yoga offers us a complete toolkit to restore balance on every level - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. These practices are not just routines - they are technologies of transformation.

If you feel called to reset or reconnect, I recorded this morning’s practice and would love to share it with you.

DM me if you’d like to receive the recording.

If you feel ready to go deeper, I offer 1:1 sessions - online and in person - to support you wherever you are on your path. Whether you’re navigating change, seeking clarity, or yearning to deepen your practice, you’re not alone.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like personalised guidance or to stay updated about upcoming classes, workshops, or retreats.

This life is a gift meant for thriving - to access our infinite possibilities and be joyously dancing along the way.

Get in touch if you’d like to explore this journey more deeply - through private sessions, group offerings, or by simply receiving practices that help you reconnect to your inner light.

Whispers of the Himalayas
The Wisdom of an Ancient Land

There is a place where the earth kisses the sky,
where silence is not empty – but full.
Where the winds carry mantras not yet spoken,
and the mountains sit in stillness,
as ancient sages wrapped in white.

The Himalayas are not just a landscape.
They are a living scripture,
etched in stone and snow,
each peak a verse,
each valley a sacred pause between breaths.

Here, every tree bears a message –
not in language of man,
but in the slow, deliberate poetry of time.
Their roots drink from the same streams
that have quenched the thirst of yogis,
wanderers, mystics, and saints
for a thousand lifetimes.

The rivers chant stories of origin,
of gods who danced upon their shores,
of seekers who dissolved into the rhythm
of the wind and the water.

In this land,
the air remembers.
It remembers your soul before it was named.
It remembers the sound of your silence.
It remembers the path you’ve walked
through lifetimes to arrive here –
barefoot and willing.

To walk in the Himalayas
is to walk through a veil into the invisible.
It is to feel the gaze of the eternal
upon your skin.

You do not climb these mountains –
you are invited by them.

They ask nothing but sincerity.
They offer nothing but truth.
And if your heart is still enough,
you may hear it:
that whisper in the wind
that says,
“You are not alone.
You have never been.”

Did you know that each note in Indian classical music is associated with a planetary frequency? Certain compositions are created to enhance the energy of a specific time of day — just like in Ayurveda, where the Ayurvedic clock teaches us about the dominance of different doshas throughout the day. By aligning our daily routines with these rhythms, we begin to live in harmony with nature and the cosmos.
Step into the ancient rhythm of life —
where breath, body, stars, and sound are not separate threads,
but part of one divine tapestry known as the Vedic tradition.
This is more than a yoga retreat.
It is a sacred journey into the holistic science of the Self,
guided by Lydia — a lifelong devotee, teacher, and practitioner of the Himalayan Yogic Tradition, Jyotish (Vedic Astrology), and Indian spiritual culture.
✨ The Vedic Way of Living
The Yoga Shastras, rooted in the four Vedas, offer not just asana, but a complete map for living in harmony with nature and the cosmos. These wisdom traditions were never meant to be studied separately — they are interwoven strands of one luminous path:
