Balancing Akt, London (2025)

I pulled this card during a sound bath this week and it couldn’t be more perfect. Entering 2025, I felt an almost overwhelmingly deep sense of positivity, growth and adventure for the months ahead - and it’s delivering already. My January trip to the UK - the country that has really been the only place I’ve ever considered something like ‘home’ - offered an opportunity to check in with my life, my journey, my choices. The result was unexpected: despite the initial excitement to be back, spend time with people I love and miss, and quite frankly the crazy political landscape I was going to return to, after four days in London I started counting down the days until I could go ‘home’. Although I knew my way around London, I didn’t know my way around myself there anymore.

I’ve always been a wanderer who loves change and the comforting permanence of ‘home’ that so many people feel, especially in the places they originate from, has always escaped me. I think I will never quite get it because I’ve realized that for me, ‘home’ is not a geographical location; it’s a sense of having arrived exactly where I am meant to be right now - without any departure plans.

Maybe that is what they mean when they say “home is where the heart is”: where you love - other creatures, yourself, and life - in the deepest, most authentic and whole way possible. For me, that is in Baltimore right now…and that may or may never change. Unknown territory ahead 💫 ❤️

31/12/2024

On this day last year I randomly thought: “2024 is going to be a tough one for many…” and damn, that feeling was accurate. The last twelve months saw a lot of loss and chaos and heartache and frankly some weird energy floating around.

Personally, 2024 cracked me wide open. I lost a fair bit, I gained a lot and I learned even more. One of my intentions for the year was to love with the most open heart ♥️ I did just that and would have lost myself in the process, if I wasn’t surrounded by the most amazing humans that held me patiently and guided me back.

This year has helped me grow as a person, maybe more than any other before it. I have learned that I’m a lover AND a fighter (emotionally, not physically); that strength and vulnerability live in the same house; that just like a Stehaufmännchen (in the picture above) I will always get back up even when I don’t have the solution to what knocked me down yet (I still don’t and that’s OK; maybe I will figure it out next year). I dropped the protective shell I built for decades this year and I have no intention on putting it back on 🦀
This crab will courageously lean into letting go when needed, holding onto what matters, cultivating more patience, finding more ease, loving even harder and living fully every single day of 2025.
Adventure lies ahead - I feel it in the air.

As in every year on this day. I reflect on all the wonderful people in my life and am grateful for each and every one of you: whether we’ve known each other for decades, met a few months ago or are yet to cross paths - thank you for taking a seat on my rollercoaster 🎢
I would not want to do this beautiful life without you!

Happy New Year ✨

• Best. Ever. Brownies •⁣ I am neither a cake person nor a chocaholic, but even I cannot resist these brownies! They are gooey, dense and are basically just butter, eggs and chocolate...but if you are after an equally delicious and easy traybake these may become your go-to as well. I am not going to pretend that these are a "health food", but I still think they can be part of a healthy, balanced diet - after all, homemade is ALWAYS better than store-bought. Unless you eat them all at once...maybe don't do that.~

• Perspectives •Sometimes you just need to stand on top of a tall rock and look at things from a different angle to break out of your repetitive patterns and swirling thoughts. Like in the movie "Dead Poets Society". Except they just climbed on a desk - which seems way less effort and was seemingly just as effective.
Either way, you get the idea - adapt your position and you may find more clarity.

We become surprisingly good storytellers when we don't want to deal with reality - being honest with ourselves is often the hardest thing to do. So whatever you are facing, dig deeper, ask yourself the difficult questions and embrace what shows up, even if it's not what you want to find. It's the only path to living your truth. •

• Inhale Strength - Exhale Resistance •As we move into Spring, in this month's classes we've been working with the theme of life's unexpected twist and turns. We explored noticing the resistance that comes up in situations we didn't plan for, staying both grounded and in flow throughout them and maybe even embracing the unexpected as something beneficial. Life throws us weird curve balls sometimes, but no amount of resistance will help us get through them. So take a deep breath to inhale the strength you need and exhale the feelings that will not serve you on this journey.

• Soup (er) Moments •⁣Same people think of soup as really boring, but I honestly find few things more comforting than sitting on the couch with a steaming hot, delicious and nourishing bowl especially when it's chilly outside. If you agree, try out my warming Cauliflower & Parsnip Soup!Packed with natural antioxidants, a bunch of vitamins (including B, C, K and folate) as well as fibre it's an amazing combo to keep you healthy and happy in the colder months. It's also vegan and gluten-free and low-carb and if that's not enough, the colour just brings joy 💛

• Don't forget to love yourself • All this month we are playing with the concept of real, honest and selfless love - and all the complexities this emotion can bring into our lives. The thing we often forget is that our capacity to love others directly correlates to how we love ourselves. So if you want to give to others, you also have to give to yourself, whether that's savouring a delicious treat, receiving a relaxing massage, doing a 10-minute meditation, saying a reminder to yourself that you are good and worthy or just giving yourself a quick hug. ~
Join me in class this week for a nourishing flow that will help you build physical and emotional strength to love fully, bravely and selflessly.

• Tough Love • Many years ago my mum took me to see 'The Phantom of the Opera'. In utter fascination of what was happening on stage, 5-year old me whispered "If he loves her so much, why is he letting her go?". My mum's response, teary-eyed, was one of the pivotal moments in my life. "It is BECAUSE he loves her that he is letting her go." There is more to this than just knowing when to let go though. Most of us try to avoid conflict and confrontation, but in true love you don’t get to hide. Sometimes the right choice isn’t the easy or pain-free one for you, or even for the other person. On occasion our role is to question, to call for uncomfortable decisions, to push boundaries - actions that may not win us the “most-liked” badge in that moment, but are in fact demonstrations of the deepest care.
Often real love is far from easy, straightforward or in fact filled with the happy endings we see in the movies; however, that doesn't diminish its beauty or its worth. After all, there is really nothing more beautiful - and more difficult - than putting the happiness of someone you love ahead of your own, and doing so wholeheartedly, with a smile.
~
If this resonates, come join me in class this February where - recalling our January learnings on intuition - we'll be exploring this concept from all angles. And if it doesn't, join anyway and see what new perspective you discover.
Tuesdays 6-7:15pm

• Sweet Treat •⁣If you too are partial to an afternoon treat but want to cut sugar then check out my super easy chocolate coconut energy balls! 😋I like to reset after the holidays and start every year with a sugar and booze detox. I am lucky to have never found cutting out alcohol a problem, but avoiding sugar can be difficult in today's food environment. My personal rule is that fresh, whole and dried, unsweetened fruit in moderation is acceptable, but refined or heavily processed sugars like granulated, honey, syrup as well as alternatives like stevia are off the table. This recipe uses only a handful of ingredients and it takes no more than 15 minutes to make a batch that will see you through the week!
