I remember so clearly the moment I heard of Joanna Macy: drinks in a local pub after a strategy session over a decade ago ...

My friend Zia shares that something I said reminds her of Joanna Macy.

"Who?" I ask.

"You will ADORE her!" Was the answer.

I had never imagined how much that moment would change the shape of my life.

Joanna Macy's work gave me language for the ache in my chest and the love in my bones. She gave me courage to look at the suffering of the world, and to stay. To feel. To BE with it all.

To say she was a teacher feels too small.

She was a portal—a fierce and tender guide who walked ahead with lantern in hand, showing us how to dance with despair and not lose our way.

In her memory, may we deepen our courage.
May we feel more. Love more. Risk more.
And may we continue the Work That Reconnects—not in her absence,
but in the living echo of her presence everywhere.

In a world of information overload

We have so so much knowledge.

And wisdom sometimes seems in short supply.

In a noisy world,
yoga gives us the skill of inner peace
without which
listening is impossible.

How did you go with your listening practice today?

“Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you’d have preferred to talk.”
Doug Larson

So looking forward to this !

Amidst the whispers of the trees and the gentle caress of the breeze, she finds a deep peace she never knew possible...

With each breath, she finds solace, strength, and the profound beauty of self-connection.

Yoga is a way of life.

Filling your cup through connecting to Source.

Letting that love flow out of you smoothly, easily ...

Like the sun ...

Which

Every 2 minutes

Gives us more energy

Than what all of humanity uses in an entire year

Yoga Beyond the Mat

Merri Yoga is a celebration of the joy created through a thriving physical, social and natural ecosystem. The name refers to the joy that yoga may bring to everyday life, as well as a celebration of the incredible Merri Creek and all of the life it supports, both human and non-human. It is also a reference to our founder’s last name, Merriam (a celebration of ancestors so committed to merriment that they were known as Merri-men).

Merri Yoga is dedicated to moving yoga beyond the mat. It is a space to explore how yoga can transform, and is already transforming, how we live as a society. This means we are socially and politically engaged, thinking globally and acting locally.

We have a special focus on nonviolence or ahimsa in communication, and draw heavily from Marshall Rosenberg’s teachings on Nonviolent Communication (NVC). This means running workshops on how we communicate with ourselves and others in a way that is connective, compassionate and joyful.

Please get in touch if you’re keen to learn more :)
