Such a profoundly moving experience this morning taking Eddie’s funeral. The fire crew stood to attention and saluted his arrival, the chapel was full as was the overflow area and there was such a deep sense of love and respect.

In our yoga circle last night we explored resistance and relinquishment. We had started this on Monday, spending half an hour working with resistance bands before our yoga practice. Last night, as the New Moon emerged, our focus was on letting go to clear the way for fresh beginnings, putting down our burdens, and discovering parts of our bodies, minds, and souls where we are holding tight to something we would do well to relinquish… I read “Let it go” in the opening relaxation and closing nidra. In our mudras, pranayama, and asanas we connected, stabilised, released, folded and unfolded, played, and surrendered (special thanks to for the crawling & gliding pigeons!). We ended with “This is Home”:

This is home where I belong
In this breath, in this heart.
This is home where I belong
In this voice, in this song.

Thank you for all the songs you have introduced me to🙏🏽. And to those who joined me last night - such a powerful circle of love, courage, and openness💜.
