✨ AUTUMN STILLNESS – Surrender into Deep Rest ✨

What a beautiful evening of peace and grounding energy 💫
Thank you to everyone who joined tonight’s Yoga, Meditation & Sound Bath session at Ritual of Balance Studio in the Blue Building.
The atmosphere was pure calm — soft candlelight, gentle breath, and complete surrender to the moment. 🌿

We flowed through slow, mindful movement to release tension, then melted into nine restorative poses designed to soothe the nervous system and welcome stillness.

Tonight’s Yoga Nidra guided us through a journey of deep release and renewal —
drifting into a warm autumn landscape, lying beneath golden trees as soft light filtered through the branches.
With every breath, the body softened, the mind became clear, and peace gently settled within. 🍂

The Sound Bath that followed — with crystal bowls, gong, ocean drum, and chimes — created waves of vibration that helped everyone sink even deeper into rest.
A truly magical evening of stillness, surrender, and connection. 🕯️

🌕 Next Session:
Friday, 7th November – 7:00 to 8:30 PM
✨ Themes for November will be announced soon!

✨ 72 Hours of Fasting – Complete! ✨

I’ve just completed a 72-hour fast, and I’m feeling amazing — light, clear, and deeply connected to my body. 🌙
Tonight, I’ll be breaking it gently with a nourishing wholefood meal, full of natural, clean ingredients.

---

🌿 Why I Did It

To give my body the gift of rest and renewal — to cleanse from the inside, support detoxification, and allow healing to happen naturally.
When digestion pauses, the body begins powerful internal cleansing and repair.

---

🌀 What Happens During a 72-Hour Fast

0–24h: uses stored glucose for energy

24–48h: insulin drops, fat burning begins

48–72h: enters autophagy — the body’s deep cellular detox

Autophagy = your body’s natural recycling system: clearing old, damaged cells and replacing them with new ones.
It supports cellular renewal, reduces inflammation, and promotes clarity and longevity.

---

💧 What You Can Drink

✅ Water (still or sparkling)
✅ Herbal teas (no sugar/milk)
✅ Black coffee (moderate)
✅ Sugar-free electrolytes
✅ Small amounts of lemon water

These keep you hydrated and support detox without breaking your fast.

---

🔥 Move Mindfully

Gentle yoga, walking, or light resistance training help sweat out toxins, boost circulation, and support the detox process.

---

🌙 How Often to Fast

Longer fasts like 72h can be done a few times per year.
Shorter fasts like 16:8 or 24h weekly are great for maintenance and clarity.
Fasting isn’t deprivation — it’s a gift of healing and balance.

---

Feeling so grateful for this inner reset and the calm, clear energy it brings. ✨

✨ Savasana – The Art of Deep Rest ✨

Often called Co**se Pose, Savasana is the final and most restorative posture in every yoga practice — and one we always include in my classes. 🕊️

It’s a sacred moment to let go completely, to absorb the benefits of your practice, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with your inner stillness. 🌿

How to do it:
🧘‍♀️ Lie flat on your back, legs gently apart, arms relaxed by your sides.
🌬️ Close your eyes and soften your breath.
💫 Allow your body to feel heavy, your mind spacious, and your heart at peace.
Stay here, resting in pure awareness — where healing and balance naturally unfold.

Benefits of Savasana:
🌸 Deep relaxation for body & mind
🌸 Reduces stress, anxiety & fatigue
🌸 Lowers heart rate & blood pressure
🌸 Promotes mindfulness & inner peace
🌸 Integrates the full benefits of your practice

Join me weekly to experience this beautiful stillness at the end of every class — the moment where everything settles into harmony. ✨
