✨ Celebrating Me ✨

Last week I completed my final essay for my 500-hour training Radiant Body Yoga with Kia Miller

This journey has been anything but linear… In the middle of this particular immersion 'Meditation & The Mind' my Dad passed away, and at that time sitting in daily meditation felt impossible — what I needed most was movement.

Two years later, I’ve finally completed 40 days of Amarti Mudra, after dipping in and out of many meditations I settled on this — a practice so powerful it’s cracked my heart wide open. 💫

Since beginning my yoga teacher studies in 2020, I’ve shown up for myself every single day — around 2100 days of continuous practice 🙌

Many of those have been 40–90 day immersions, each one deepening my connection to self, spirit, and life itself.

Who I was in 2020 and who I am now… worlds apart. That’s the gift of practice. That’s the power of intention & consistency.

Here’s to all of us, our growth, healing, and the courage to keep showing up — even when it feels impossible.

So much love

Maria 💚

I had the absolute privilege to be in space with a group of courageous beings this past Saturday as we called in the elements (and woah they were felt!!) to hold, support & release.

What a gift this day was — the ripple reached far beyond everyone present. It was frequency, energy — an opportunity to create meaningful change.

Deep gratitude to each of you who stepped forward and stood for what you want to bring into the world.

This is me.
Cocooned after sitting in meditation.
My intention - to release.
Raw.
Tears were streaming down my face —
and yet, somehow, I still see the light shining within.

This morning I woke with a deep ache in my solar plexus,
a pain that felt like something needed to be released.
I felt tender, on the verge of tears at the slightest thing.

So what did I do?

I sat.
I practiced.
Sixty minutes of meditation —
until the tightness softened,
the pain eased,
and the tears were free to flow.

I also reached out for support,
to a DIVINE friend who could hold me from afar
as I navigated what was rising.

And something shifted.
Something cleared.

Afterwards, I gave myself the gift of rest —
a walk, a warm bath, a gentle nap —
and space to simply be.

This is the path:
of continued practice,
the self-awareness,
The trust.

Don't give up!

So much love

Maria 💖

COURAGE

Stepping into a new space was a big shift from my little studio. And of course, the usual suspects showed up:

✨ Self-doubt
✨ Imposter syndrome
✨ That inner voice of ego

Instead of letting that voice run the show, I paused. I listened. And I remembered the gifts I carry and the reasons I do this work...

We all probably recognise 'that voice' the key is knowing when it serves and when it doesn't. This awareness gives me the courage to step forward with confidence - I know the road I've travelled and the wisdom I've gleaned.

When I teach, my intention is always to show up with authenticity. I'm aware the practice will land differently for everyone amd thats ok — because each of us is on our own unique journey.

And for you — if you ever find yourself holding back because of that voice in your head, pause. Notice. And reconnect to your why, your strengths, and all you've journeyed through!

For me, teaching is an act of service. These practices have brought me steadiness and transformation — and that’s why I keep showing up to do what I LOVE.

Want me to come to your space?

Reach out — I’d love to tailor a class for you 💖

✨️ Can you feel it? The whisperings of change as we collectively move from the head to the heart.

With Eclipse season upon us, our classes are shifting focus to HEART COHERENCE — the gentle remembering of the wisdom we each carry within, and the recognition of our ability to lead from the heart.

💗 Did you know the heart’s electromagnetic field is over six times stronger than the brain’s?
When we come into coherence, this heart field can expand up to 12 feet around us!!

💗 This field is sometimes described as the AURA, or more scientifically, as the TOROIDAL FIELD — a spiralling, self-sustaining flow of energy that radiates from the heart centre.

✨️ It’s that glow you feel when someone “lights up a room,” it’s also the invisible current that connects us all 🙏

As we move through this season, we’ll also be working with sound — tuning into a healing resonance that honours both the Sun and the Moon 🌞🌚 Their rhythmic dance reminds us of balance: light and shadow, inner and outer, head and heart.

Imagine the ripple effect of an expansive heart field? When we really begin to not only uplift our own frequency, but also reaching out to those around us…..and if we all raise our frequency - WOW this IS collective change 🌎

Leading from the heart is a gift.

It allows the heart’s intelligence to inform the mind, shifting us from head-based decisions to heart-based decisions....and that is where our true inner light shines!

So much LOVE

Maria 💖🌎✨️

I rarely take photos in class, but I couldn’t resist this one.

This group has been journeying together for a while, and having everyone present on the same day felt like a celebration in itself 🙌

Can you feel the glow radiating from them?

Such beautiful beings of light!

To teach is a gift, to be able to hold space, and move with what arises is a gift - I am so truly grateful for everyone!

To all of you who continually show up, with courage, with grace to shine your LIGHT!

So so much love

Maria 💚
