Alone one may begin the journey, but together the path deepens and transforms.

Eknath Easwaran

This beautiful quote was shared this morning by a lovely soul. It seemed so poignant this afternoon connecting deeply as a group, finding peace and serenity through gentle practice and rest.

Through all of this, remaining ever conscious of the deepening crisis and how grateful I am that we can come together in freedom and peace.

Nourish yourself.
Consciously, Intentionally, Purposefully.
Nourish yourself with loving presence.
Drip your love like honey across your floating skin; let its nourishing nectar satisfy the deepest longings of your soul.

Extract from The heart of yoga by Zach Beach

It can feel extraordinarily hard to nourish yourself when the turmoil outside is raging. We can come together in love to support each other.

Creating space in the body, taking up room and moving off the boundaries of the mat. We’ve been contemplating the sensations in class this week and noticing how it feels to expand into the body, breath and mind. To find softness here and open into the heart (needed very much right now).

Noticing and appreciating the freedom in our breath, visualising our imprints and feeling the sparkling nature of our inner stars.🌟

‘The well of the throat’ is the apt title for an inspirational workshop on my training with delivered by the magical wordsmith .gianina (she is truly inspiring.)

Bringing awareness to the movement of breath in the throat, to encourage expansion here and notice the flow as well as the restrictions that we hold. When we can connect deeply to our ‘Polestar’ and inner knowing this allows us to make clearer, concious choices from a place of stability. We start to observe ourselves without being defined by the belief patterns that we hold, but with tenderness and compassion we can release the constrictions.

Sylvianne described that when we are able to give space, we restore the flow, like water on a dried riverbed.

Where can you make space for the breath to flow with ease?

Reflection is a valuable practice—a way to look back, learn, and grow. Without it, we risk becoming stuck, trapped in old patterns and unable to see the potential for change. Reflection helps us recognise what serves us and what holds us back, what truly matters, and what brings us joy. It’s through this intentional pause that we gain clarity and insight.

I know that when I’m away from the busyness of life this is easier to achieve. Allowing the pause makes valuable space for essential growth 💛🌸

How would it be if you rested here?
What treasures could be revealed here, in this place of rest?
What would you notice?
How would your body thank you?

I listened to a wonderful podcast with which really resonated today.

I reflected on the support I give through restorative nurture and yoga, questioning the respect I give myself through rest. To deeply rest, I realised very little. I can easily give to others, finding great pleasure in the gifts people receive, but I rarely gift myself.

So today I did! A beautiful 20 min yoga Nidra and dropped into a state of being, which was blissful.

Are you able to gift yourself a place of rest, of home coming to your beautiful self and listen to the treasures that you store?

‘Breathe, and all will be revealed. Love and all will be healed. This is yoga.’ - Seane Corn

Unlocking the body through breath and the beautiful exchange of energy from the world outside you.

The spaciousness you can create with the breath as you expand and make a little more internal space is powerful. The magical exchange may allow softening and room for thought, energy and inspiration. First step is just to notice that you’re breathing. 😮‍💨

‘Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful’ - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Notice those glimmers and find the good, the kind and the positive.

When we slow down and take time to be with those we love, simple activities like being outdoors, eating good food and sleeping helps us to navigate the overwhelming flow of news and headlines. (Not to mention anything you may have going on in your personal world!) I recognise how lucky I am to be able to do this safely.

This picture was taken last year in Kerela with stillness on the water at the break of day, ahhhh take me back 🧡
