- Over-identification ~

Lately this topic has been a huge one for me. While in India, I had a strong realisation how much I have been attaching myself to various identities. First, the artist, the dancer, then the Buddhist, the yogi, the yoga teacher, the philosopher and so on.

I recognised how strongly this over-identification affects me - essentially whatever I turned to for answers and support at some stage started to feel like a prison due to the over-identification.

While in the ashram in the south of India last month, I sat with myself, with my writing, with the plants, with the sun each day for several hours just being in my own company. It was not easy. So many should’s and shouldn’ts came to the surface. ‘You should be doing more yoga, you are in India, you shouldn’t be feeling this and that’

In spite of all the things I explored all those years - here I am with all these unconstructive thoughts.

I realised how much I can cling to something that offers me answers.

As a child I felt lost and confused so I sought answers through art, philosophy, movement.

I did find the answers. Many of them. But in the process I also created over-identification with the practices and tools I encountered. I understand why. They bring me safety and comfort. They provide what I was seeking.

However, there is a moment where this identification becomes unsustainable - it creates a self-imposed prison. And this was the biggest insight during my time in India.

It isn’t about what I do or what I believe in when it comes to the practices and philosophies I root my being in. I strongly believe in them and know how powerful they are. They bring me back to my essence in so many ways.

Instead, I am talking here about the story I have been telling myself about how I need to be when I do root my being in these practices/frameworks.

I realise this is a deep share but somehow it feels relevant. I feel that some things are not spoken about yet they affect all of us.

So this is my reflection and my musings for you today.

I choose to show up as me, an ordinary human being.

“Everyday is a journey and the journey itself is home” - Matsuo Bashô

Greeetings from the ashram in the South of India. I decided to take a couple of weeks to reconnect with myself and give myself space to be, get inspired, create.

I am doing some writing while here and sharing it via Substack. Check the link in the bio. This writing is a mix of my own journey and experience, yogic teachings, reflections on living in this body and on this planet.

~ Celebrating all the beautiful women in my life, in the world ~

Lucky to be surrounded by many amazing ones ❤️ Here are just some of them who have been a big part of my life. Grateful for all of them starting with my mum, sister and those dear sisters that have been lighting up my path in the last while. Grateful to all those that I have not seen in ages but remain in my heart and as an important part of my becoming as a woman.

Grateful also for being able to encounter so many incredible women who come into my spaces 💕 it’s a privilege to know you all and have heard a little bit of your story 🌸

No matter where you are and what you are going through, you are phenomenal, you are amazing, you are powerful.

With love,

~ Enoughness ~

When is it enough to be just as I am?

When is what I give enough?

When are my imperfections and painful experiences welcomed with care and attention?

Enoughness is a topic close to my heart. Having caught myself so many times in wanting to do better, wishing I had more knowledge, talent to be happy, to be accepted - I have been coming closer and closer to this realisation that when we continue in this rabbit hole of needing more to be enough - we get exhausted.

I am bringing this theme to the women’s circle this Thursday 5th March at the Sanctuary. I know this topic is familiar to many and for many it has roots in our ancestral wounds. We are connected to our ancestors through our bodies, blood and bones. Some of the stories of needing to be perfect or not having enough to achieve xyz do come from what our mothers and grandmothers learnt in the past.

I am reshaping this story within myself. It’s not about dropping the effort all together and waiting for things to happen. Rather it is a balancing of doing and being. It’s about knowing that what we are, our stories are incredibly special because they come from a place of the heart, from a good intention, from the depth of our being.

Dropping the masks and being our own self.

Much love,
Anna

“Remember” by Brigid Anna McNeill

~Remember who you are.
Not the shape others have put on
you, not the story they handed you,
not the lies or needs that were
pressed into your psyche.
Not even your own imagined ideas
of what you should be.

But the real you, the wild innate you
that is breathing under all those
should be’s, all those untruths.

Remember the feel of it, the shape of
it. Let it inhabit you, like golden
weeds rewilding the concrete. ~

Remembering our true nature - underneath all the beliefs we hold about ourselves, all the imagined ideas that shape our view of the world.

A beautiful reminder to come back to our wild nature and let it inhabit our bones, our bones, our flesh, our whole being.

~ On Prana Vayus in Yoga ~

This is about our body as a field of prana which receives, assimilates, transforms, eliminates, expresses, and integrates.

5 prana Vayus are movements or functions of prana/life force that regulate physical, mental, emotional and energetic processes in the body.

Apana Vayu - Downward and outward, region of the pelvis.

Samana Vayu - Balancing Air, circulating, inward energy that assimilates, transforms and digests. Region of the navel.

Prana Vayu - Inward and upward energy, energising, vitality, space to receive, region of the chest

Udana Vayu - upward and outward energy, ascending, the moving force, expression of ourselves in the external world, region of the throat + head and secondary location - arms

Vyana Vayu - all pervading air - integration, circulation, it’s in the we body bringing all the other vayus together.

~ In the Belly of Winter 2026 ~ We gathered over the weekend to rest in the belly of winter making space for the all that stirs underneath the surface.

After the weekend, my heart is so full of love. To come together with other women is such an honour, to see each person reveal more of themselves as the weekend goes on is simply indescribable.

Before everyone arrived Justyna read out the poem from Donna Ashworth “Just Women “ (in the picture) which then was read out by one of the participants the next day - this poem really captures the magic that took place over the weekend.

The words that came up repeatedly in our conversations and circles were TRUST & ALLOW. So many of us look for solutions to the challenges we face in our thinking mind which so often ends up in exhaustion, burnout, frustration.
This weekend was so much about dropping that & instead entering the realm of the body & tapping into its wisdom. It was about making space to feel both the uncertainly and the power in the body, to allow them to co-exist and to know we are not alone in feeling all those things.

This was my 2nd women’s retreat - I feel so grateful for having been able to witness all the magic that happened.

Last year when I decided to run my first women’s retreat, I wasn’t sure if it would work out but I knew I needed to create a space where all that I have been exploring and working with comes together. My heart melts when I see each woman showing up with so much authenticity and leaving the weekend refreshed, more trusting and more connected to her inner power.

Thank you to everyone who has made this retreat possible:
🥣Michelle .chef - for the incredible food that you made with so much love and passion! I’m so happy for you and your journey as a chef ❤️
👯‍♀️Jennifer and Justyna - my dear friends who were there to support me and who helped out with everything in between ❤️
🌿 - thank you for the beautiful essential oils - a gift to cherish during and after the retreat ❤️
🏠 for the amazing space
📷 for the Moon picture and all the other captures

With love, Anna

~ Body as a microcosm of the macrocosm ~

We experience this life through the body. It’s through the body we feel, see, hear, taste, speak. There is a deep connection between one’s body and how it interacts with others, the environment, animals and all that is.

The body is a gateway to attune to the life force that is within ourselves. Our body mirrors the natural world. It is as incredible as the whole universe. Yet we often forget about this life force, that it is so close to us, so close we cannot see it.

When we practice to see this life force within ourselves, we awaken a great connection to something incredible powerful - the source of all things.

I have come back to this realisation many times - we human beings forget about our magnitude, and how aligning with the life force within ourselves can shift completely how we view the world.

I regularity experience moments of utter joy, clarity as well as deep sadness, anger and disappointment. To return to a simple truth that is - you are a microcosm of the macrocosm- is quite a reassurance that you have all you need to move through whatever you are going through.

And the body is a gateway. When I prayed this morning, a stream of energy moved through the body - a spark of belief, a homecoming. The body experiences the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. To turn towards it is an act of listening.

How do you relate to your body? How do you return to this unchanging force that lives within you?

~ The unconscious is an energy of the greatest magnitude ~

Reading from a book “The Road by the River” by Djohariah Toor

Accessing the unconscious as the key to liberation, transformation.

How often are we driven by a pattern that we aren’t even aware of? Having done a lot of inner work, I still discover patterns that come from deep down affecting the way I behave, the choices I make. Only by making something conscious, can we change it. It’s an ongoing journey of exploration.

Welcome to January 🙏🏽

~ Darkness, void, descend, the portal, discomfort, honouring the unknown ~

I felt called to shared this message. We talk about risings a lot more than we talk about descending. Yet we are both the rise and the descend. It’s hard to talk about the descend, about moments of nothingness, void, uncertainty.

I do know that wisdom lies not in only chasing the light but in our capacity to hold both the light and the darkness within ourselves, in our lives.

I experienced a headache for two weeks before Christmas. It eased in the last 10 days. It’s back again. While I already went to the doctor about it and plan to do so if they persists, I also explore the body’s messages that perhaps know much than our mind can comprehend.

May the transition into 2026 be a soft one with space to tend to the dark parts of ourselves and space for shining our light really brightly. May we honour the cyclicality of life .

Much love ❤️

Anna
