Friends, I will be offering an online gentle yoga class this Thursday Oct 19th 9am EDT/ 9pm HKT. This will be a nourishing 75 minute class to help you find ease in body and mind.

This class in by donation! Your donation goes straight to YAMA Foundation in Hong Kong as they try to meet increasing demand for their services. All funds raised go towards YAMA's programmes for people with disabilities, people living in poverty & people with mental health challenges. YAMA's teachers deliver adaptive and accessible therapeutic interventions through yoga and art. Learn more at www.yamahk.org.

If you cannot make the class live - no worries - i can send you the recording so you can do it in your own time! And if you don’t want to take the class (but you do 😉) your donations are still deeply appreciated!

Please join me in raising money for YAMA Foundation’s Back to the Mat campaign. I will be offering an online gentle yoga class October 19th 9pm HK/9am NY. If you can’t make that time you will receive a recording of the class. Would be really lovely to reconnect with you!

Happy November Facebook fam! I am rarely posting on this platform - But I did want to reach out and share this latest offering starting next week!

New Beginnings was co-created with my dear friend Myriam Bartu and inspired by our own journeys this year. Having both left Hong Kong and feeling waves of uncertainty and grief, we wanted to offer a space for those also experiencing the challenges of starting anew. We are each leading separate groups at different times to accommodate those in different time zones.

By joining New Beginnings you will be able to connect to others facing similar challenges on their current life paths, and together we will explore various ways to support a more positive outlook as we move into our new lives.

There is still time to join, please reach out if you're interested.

With love,
Nicola

Magic of the sun on a winter’s day.

A bit of sunshine on my skin, and so much is shifted.

Heaviness is lifted.

Less fear of what is lost and what is unknown.

More appreciation for what is in this moment.

A humble offering to sit and cultivate some space and inner peace. If it serves and you have 10 minutes, join me for this gentle guided meditation. Being with what is as it is. May it bring some ease into your day. 🙏🏽🕊

If you've been to a yoga class or women's temple with me, then you've probably heard one of Beautiful Chorus' songs being played. This group is pure music medicine and I thought I'd share their latest single "Family Mission Statement". As with all their songs, each line is an affirmation that elevates the soul.

"I nurture my soul, my body and mind,
I am learning, to myself be kind.
If I need help I'll ask it's a brave thing to do.
And if we disagree I can still have love for you"

It's an extra treat to see the beautiful faces that accompany such transcendent voices.

If you're in need of a bit of a lift, I hope you enjoy. ♥

Dear ones,

I'm very happy to share that Myriam and I will be joining together to offer one more retreat before I leave Hong Kong.

Time To Pause is exactly that. A time for you to pause. I'm not sure about you but the second half of this year has stirred up quite a bit. Things near and far seem to be all over the place. Uncertainty continues to rule so many of our lives. I believe one of the most useful things we can do for ourselves is to connect to our inner strength and peace. To take the time to gather ourselves, perhaps pick up a few pieces if they've happened to fall off. There is little we have control over, but how we respond, how gentle we are with ourselves is something we are able to cultivate and practice.

If you think you might benefit from a pause, do get in touch to receive our digital leaflet with all the details. No experience is necessary and if finances are an issue, there are solidarity spots available at reduced fee.

Much love xx

Flexible pay options for anyone that needs.

Riding the waves, letting the emotions come and go. Giving space to all of it. Each feeling allowed and valid.

The only way forward is through. One breath at a time.

If you or someone you know is struggling through this time know that their are resources, online offerings and support. Personally I know people offering free yoga nidra, and mindfulness meditation. Let me know if you want details to join. I have online yoga, please do get in touch if you are interested.
