I've returned from the mountains, back to the peaceful lands of Marlborough Sounds.

There is currently a sacred pause before action, so I'm here right now.

Change is again (ever) present, with a pending move on the horizon, which as moves do, can unsettle before resettling, so bare with me at this time while I honor this transition.

I will continue my weekly Wednesday Yin class at 6:30pm, and continue to hold the intention of finding the right space for a weekly class in Picton/Waikawa.

My services are by appointment at this time. So please feel welcome to reach out if you wish to work together to bring in clarity & alignment. 💚

While I was in Queenstown, I called upon a friend and we went out for an Astro Photo Shoot. I love his work & wanted something to commemorate my love for the mountains & their medicine.

If you find yourself there, I recommend connecting with Jordan if you would like a personalized astro shoot for yourself. 🌠

What a bittersweet moment we shared last night.

So much heart centered yummy, as Yama Yoga moves towards it's close.

Beginnings & endings, the cycles and seasons of life, are just that. Everything ends, and nothing is permanent.

I feel honored to have been here in the mountains in Queenstown for it's birthing, and again for it's death & close.

I'm super proud of Renee and what she has the ability to accomplish and hold, and for making this personal decision to pull her energies in and focus on family.

Creating safe space is what we need in this world. A sanctuary to return home to, to settle our energies - the whole of our being, and melt the rest away.

It's going to take time, but we're on the right path.

Much love from these mountains that hold my heart 💚

It is said that the journey from head to heart is one of the biggest journeys we'll ever take in our life.

I know this to be true.

Living from my head vs living heart lead are polar opposite experiences.

The later, laden with conditioned ways of operating in the world inherited by generations, collectives & institutions in my lifetime/s, the former, formless, guided, intuitive, feeling based & whole.

It's taken years of inner work, truth & integrity to be witness to this polarity. This powerful vantage point I have strived endlessly to achieve.

I am by no means 'there', as there never is a there. Only here. I am here. And here feels good. It feels peaceful & expanded.

Yin Yoga is a way that supports this transition. It does so at your pace, with your mind, body & soul as one.

If you're feeling at all stressed, short of breath, in scarcity, experiencing looping thoughts & worry, it's time to come home to you. It's your job to create a place of safety within. No home, partner, job or friendship will replace this crucial inner quest.

You hold it all within.

All of life's answers.

All of her mysteries.

You are divine magic. ✨️

Everything is only ever conspiring to support you to remember this.

Every challenge
Every heartbreak
Every obstacle
Every single bump

How you choose to face that thing can invite you to rise, or keep you in it, repeating another cycle.

You hold the power that determines which way it goes.

The key is always to turn within.

To face yourself, and what has arisen.

Get honest
Get still
Get true

And the way will be revealed.

These are exciting times we're in right now. I'm fizzing quietly.

I'm revelling in my Winter, and quietly cultivating.

How's your inner relationship developing?

23/06/2025

As shared, I will be returning to the mountains again next month. For mountains, snow, friends, heart expansion & safe spaces.

Here is our second offering.

Our last Yin & Cacao event at Yama Yoga was sold out. It was deeply nourishing and healing. Think warm Cacao, permission too pause, deep breaths.

Theta Healing was woven through the class, activating subtle remembers of safety.

This time we're expanding it to 3 hours to allow our winter selves the same deep cellular nourishment.

Please feel invited to join us.

Muscles don’t just get “tight.”

Your whole system does.

When you move in the same way all the time, forward, backward, maybe a side stretch here and there, your fascia starts to stiften.

Remember, "Use it or lose it?"

Yin Yoga invites back fluidity & space.

We don't only come to “stretch.”
We come to create space.
In the body, and in our minds, with our breath, to support our nervous system.

Yin gets in deep.

It invites a gentle softening to where you've been holding.

It shows you where you’re bracing, physically, emotionally, energetically.

This practice isn’t just passive.

You're awakening all that you are, and acknowledging all that is available. It is a gentle, yet powerful practice.

It’ll meet you exactly where you are… and then show you somewhere new if you're open.

Come create shapes on the floor and receive what is awaiting you.

We deeply need & crave connection.

Each time I facilitate a space. Whether Yin or Circle, people continue to sit and stay long after the space has 'closed'.

It is innate within us to gather, to be, to regulate our nervous systems together and feel safe.

This is one of the reasons I continue to show up for these spaces. It is beyond me. Witnessing people receive so much, is such an honor to be a part of.

It's a beautiful dance of co-creative forces. All that exists is the present moment and what wants to be.

Last Women's Circle - I think there was more silence & space of deep inner connection, than there was of anything else.

A rich honoring of what was held within by each individual & each other. After our inner meditation journey, I received no other guidance but to simply BE.

It's in these spaces SO MUCH is happening.

The rich interconnected tapestry, weaving her threads through all that is. I write that, and it feels right, even though my mind doesn't fully understand - and could never. It is that aaaaahhhhh feeling, the one we search a lifetime for, but cannot describe.

Each time is always unique & beautiful in it's own way, of course. Because different humans, different themes, and energies dance to orchestrate the richness of what wants to be and what is needed at the time.

I write this all to share, that I cannot wait to be a part of, and witness to, A Sacred Reset - A One Day Retreat at Te Whenua Retreat

We need more of these spaces to be ourselves. So that all that we are, can unfold so sweetly in the mystical magic. It's happening, and it is truly wonderful, AND we are just at the very beginning.

If you feel called to spend a day together, exploring inner themes, in co-creation with others, in the peaceful setting of the Gibbston Valley, with delicious food, and a divine sound journey to integrate your day - I would love for you to join myself, Jenny Lomas & Lena Rae.

It is with great excitement & joy, I introduce Sacred Reset : A One Day Retreat at Te Whenua, to you!

As I mentioned in my group, back in March when I visited the mountains, upon leaving, I knew I wanted to return quickly.

I felt the call to drop deeper into an exploration, after putting on a Yin Yoga & Cacao offering at Yama Yoga.

That's going to happen too, but stay tuned for that...

This offering is an immersion.

A whole day of self exploration, inquiry & healing.

Sacred Circle, nourishing food and sound alchemy - to support the transformation & transmutation of that which you're ready to move through.

Please feel welcome to join us.

There are limited space to keep the day intimate and connected.

I was thinking the other day about how in this area there are not so many activities or events that we get to go along to and just BE. To just hang out and BE.

We have places that we go to DO things: going to eat, go to the movies, play sport, gym, and so on. But gather...?

So this space, is an invitation for just that, to come and BE. And initially that might feel scary. It can feel confronting because our mind doesn’t understand what’s going to happen.

So acknowledging that it can feel like that in the beginning, but when you arrive and take those initial moments in the arrival mediation to ground, it’s like everything you know you were looking for, but didn’t know you needed sinks in. Something ancient within us awakens. And we take a sigh of relief.

Something within us lets go, our energies soften, which allows for greater connection, our yin essence to awaken, and our parasympathetic nervous system begins to unwind. We heal in all the ways through connection. Through our breath, through just being who we were born to be, without the need to do.

So if you feeling hesitation about joining Women's Circle, know that that is very normal and we all experience it, but once we arrive, we receive the very thing that we didn’t know we needed.

Our next Circle is tomorrow - Friday 23 May @ 7pm

Be sure to register and pay your contribution via the link in the comments.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Love Heidi 💚

If you’ve ever thought:

“I’m too stiff for yoga”
“I can’t slow down”
“I need to do more to feel better”

Yin Yoga gently calls BS on all of that. 💁‍♀️

This isn’t about perfect poses or pushing yourself.
It’s about learning the art of letting go.
Of meeting yourself in the stillness.
With your breath,
Of giving your nervous system the deep exhale it’s been craving.

In this post, I’ve broken down what Yin Yoga really is in it's simple form, what it supports in your body and being, and why it might be exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

🧘‍♀️ Weekly Yin – every Wednesday
🍫🕯️ Special Event – Yin & Cacao: The Art of Letting Go this Sunday (18 May)
