🙏Grateful to my teachers especially Bill and Bridget, and Georgie for organising this retreat. But also to all my fellow yogis from whom I’ve learned so much (apologies to those I don’t know insta handle 🙃).

💫Activity within stillness and stillness within activity was our theme for this week. Lots of movement with Bridget on our yoga mats and our fabulous trips to the beach. Lots of stillness in meditation, breathwork and yoga poses. Lots of contemplation and reflection with Bill - taking time to notice the universe outside and within. Laughter and fabulous food and stunning surroundings at our aptly named Cocoon.

🦋Reluctant to emerge from this wonderful retreat but also excited to start sharing some of the light with the rest of the world ✨

💙Pratyabhijnahrdayam
Recognition of the Heart or Heart of Recognition by Kshemaraja simpilifies life into 20 sutras 🧵

💫You are Shiva/shakti - everything at its essence is the same light of consciousness and all you have to do is recognize that – simple – easy!
🪐The Universe in us.

✨Sutra 1 was our first class in this block and various translations of the Sanskrit are:“Awareness, free and independent, is the cause of the performance of everything” Wallis.

🌈”There is something universal and it pulsates as the essence of everything “
John Friend

🤩“Jaw dropping wonder - in unfettered freedom - the cause of the universe is this.” Joan Ruvinsky

🙏I like thinking of this sutra as “wow” experiences in life such as rainbows and are often found in nature but they could be on the yoga mat or anywhere where you get that feeling.
💫Expansive, free - ahah!

🚂✈️🛶Journey to the heart is what I’ve called this block of classes as we use these sutras as inspiration to travel inwards to find more grace. Feel free to join and I can always send you the recordings of the earlier classes.

🪷First time with the amazing and hopefully just the first of many.

🙏Hugely grateful to our amazing hosts David and Izzy and all the wonderful staff for making this little paradise feel like home. Huge thanks to Bridget for her amazing teaching and inspiration and I feel like I have learnt so much from this trip.

✨Adventures to McLeod Ganj and the home of the Dalai Lama, friendships made and trust created through assisting each other on the yoga mats. Learning dropbacks with my fellow yogis was incredibly empowering and hopefully will keep up the wonderful connections made both in and off the mat.

🤔Now planning my next block of yoga classes which will start again online on Monday 27 October so please sign up to my website to make sure you get booking details.

🇮🇳Amritsar highlights

🙏Such a beautiful city and passionate about its history. The partition museum and memorial gardens are well worth a visit but the golden temple didn’t disappoint.

☀️🌚Went late afternoon and loved just soaking it all up. Particularly enjoyed watching the guards with their spears and people watching. My favourite part was helping make chapattis for the 150,000 people that are fed from the kitchens each day all run by volunteers. This is known as seva - acts of selfless service for the benefit of others and is a central concept of Sikhism.
