TODAY we step over the threshold of the autumn equinox, as the sun lines up perfectly with the equator. 

In yoga philosophy, the sun and moon represent the two polar energies of the body. That is where the word 'Hatha' originates from.
HA = ☀️ and THA = 🌙

Today's celestial alignment of sun and moon embodies yin and yang ☯️ Yin is the lunar, the dark, still, restorative, nourishing Autumn and Winter. Yang is the solar, the light, movement, strength and growth of spring and summer. It is also no coincidence that, in astrology, the equinox coincides with Libra, the sign of the scales ⚖️

These two symbols demonstrate the necessity for balance in all parts of life, illuminated by this moment of perfect cosmic balance, where day and night are equal.

❔ Where in your life do you feel out of balance?
❔ What would you need to let go of in order to restore balance?
❔How can you honour your dark side as much as your light?

Along with the seasons, these celestial landmarks invite us to journey with them along their ebb and flow, showing us that we too need moments of balance, dark, introspection, release and rest, as well as times of growth, light, socialising and expansion 🌱☀️🍂😴

The metamorphosis that is taking place as Summer gives way to Autumn is pure alchemy. Here we welcome a period of transition and begin our journey into the harvesting, releasing phase of the year. The sun’s power is slowly waning, each rising a little later and setting a little earlier. The air is gradually becoming cool and crisp, and the trees are already releasing their deciduous, flame coloured leaves.

Nature is subtly inviting us to pause, reflect, process and take stock of what came of the Summer growing season. To reap all we've sown and prepare for the more, restful, introspective months ahead.

🍂 During this time of transition, can you allow your yoga practice to slow down?
🍂 Can you be more mindful and considered in your movements?
🍂 Can you allow the union between your postures and breaths to enable you to feel more grounded and present?
🍂 Can you draw your focus inward to create space to shift or release any tensions or unuseful thoughts?
🍂Can you pay particular attention to the transitions and changes between each posture, rather than treating them as destinations or goals?
🍂Can you mirror this seasonal shift?

Acknowledge that it’s the transitions and changes that allow us to journey through the cycles of daily life… to release the past, embrace the present and prepare for the future.

TONIGHT is September's full moon 🌕 Traditionally named Harvest moon, as it provided light for farmers to work into the night, harvesting the abundance from the summer growing season.

The full moon is our metaphorical spotlight, shining down on things in our life that are ready to come to our attention. This time of harvest shows us the abundance within ourselves and our lives. As we journey through the season of letting go, nature urges us to harvest and retain what nourishes us and discard what holds us back, sorting the wheat from the chaff. Like the moon, content with our own fullness and abundance, yet willing to surrender and release with trust... Here we move slowly and mindfully,

With this in mind, you can begin to cultivate and harvest your own bespoke practice by discerning what is most beneficial and nourishing for you, physically, mentally and emotionally. Take the time to savour the nourishment of each posture, movement and breath before letting it go and moving on.

If you come across any struggles or discomforts, take the time to see if there is something to learn from it, or if it is simply not needed, in which case finding the strength and trust to let it go and conserve energy for something greater.

The more mindfully you apply this to your yoga practice, the more habitual this awareness, trust and compassion for yourself will become. Equipping you with the tools to simultaneously harvest and enjoy what is abundant, conducive and nourishing to your values, lifestyle and soul, while also being empowered to let go of the habits, thought patterns and relationships that hold you back and consume your vital energies. Allow yourself to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Can you think of a time where your hard work and determination has resulted in abundance? Where you have cultivated and harvested what was needed or desired at the time? Did you have to make some sacrifices for that? Maybe you had to bravely let something go in order to create space! Allow yourself to bathe in your own fullness.

Been sorting, packing and de-cluttering this week ahead of moving house next week and came across these magazines I was featured in back in the day! 🤓
Some articles I've written, including a three page spread about the Bhagavad Gita in from when I first became a teacher back in 2018 and one of my weekend retreats featured in , plus a feature about the charity class I hosted for .
The photo of me in Venice is the summer I left my full time job and embarked on my teacher training!
It's so cool to unearth these keepsakes and look back on my journey so far 💫

TONIGHT we welcome August's full moon 🌕 Known as the Sturgeon moon, due to an abundance of this large, strong fish currently populating the fresh waters of the world.

The sturgeon is one of the longest living fish, and therefore symbolic of survival, longevity and empowerment 🐟

The full moon acts as a metaphorical spotlight, shining down on things that are ready to come to our attention, and the tough sturgeon fish is swimming into our lives to show us we too are strong and resourceful.

This is a very self protective fish, with built-in defence mechanisms to shield them from harm. We can be inspired by this intuitive act of self care both on and off our yoga mats.

Self-care is defined as the practice of taking action to preserve and protect your own health, happiness and wellbeing, and yoga can be one of your self-care tools. A way to regularly take time to come back to yourself, cultivate resilience, foster kindness and presence, bathe in your enoughness and fullness, exactly as you are, and nourish yourself in a loving, non-judgemental way.

However long you have been practising yoga, approach your practice with the sole intention of nurturing your holistic wellbeing. Take the time to be mindful in your movements and kind to your body, allowing the postures to nourish, ground and restore you. To cultivate an inner strength, as well as the outer. To preserve your energies, protect your health and invest in your longevity. Empower yourself to bespoke your practice in accordance with what feels purposeful and beneficial in that moment. Rather than getting caught up in the net of self-judgement or comparing yourself to others, find freedom in swimming through your practice with confidence and grace, all under the wise radiant spotlight of the full sturgeon moon 🐟.
