New on The Stardust Sadhana:

Saucha, one of the five niyamas of yoga, is often misunderstood as simple cleanliness. But at its heart, it’s a devotion.
Not to perfection—but to presence.
This reflection is for anyone who’s ever struggled with mess, with overwhelm, or with the pressure to keep up.
Let this be your reminder: you are worthy of a space that supports your soul.

Read it here...

A reflection on saucha as a daily ritual of self-love, sacred tending, and remembering your inherent worth.

Some beings carry the teachings not just in their words, but in their presence.
Their way of walking, breathing, and being emobodies yoga.

I have been blessed to learn from teachers who live their practice—who offer not just technique, but a transmission of devotion, discipline, and deep inner knowing. They remind me that yoga is not something to master, but something to remember. An art to be lived.

This photo was taken during a powerful time practicing with Norman Allen in Kona, Hawai’i. It was his 77th birthday, celebrated by a circle of devoted students who had grown alongside him through decades of steadfast practice. His way of being made a deep imprint on me.

Teachers like Norman—and so many others along the path—inspire me to keep teaching. To keep training teachers. To share this wisdom with reverence and care. The philosophy, the messages, the tools of this path are not trends—they are treasures. They are worth preserving.

May we continue to study, to teach, and to walk the path together—rooted in love, guided by breath, and open to grace.

Somatics is a field within the bodywork and movement professions that emphasizes healing through internal physical perception and experience. Somatic practitioners facilitate awareness-based embodiment processes for clients, through a blend of touch, breathwork, movement, sound, and dialogue. A major goal of somatics is to bridge the mind-body divide, facilitating deeper neural connections and amplifying the innate healing potential of the body and being. Life moving towards life.

Sofia was a different person before her accident. The injury and traumatic impact could not be classified as just physical or mental, emotional or spiritual; it was all of the above.

She began receiving the Structural Integration Bodywork Series from Cole .my.heart only a few weeks before this near death experience. Cole was a student then, just a couple months into a rigorous 1,025 hour practitioner training. As happens so often in intimate client-practitioner relationships, Sofia's life altering event would be a transformative opportunity for them both.

Sofia was strongly dissociated when she returned to Cole's table. Dissociation is a self-protective response meant to slow the intensity of a stressful or threatening experience, to prevent overwhelm. Dissociation is marked by a sense of distance from the felt experience of life, like one is living outside of their body and watching life happen. It can feel dreamlike and removed from the senses. Dissociation is a healthy short term response that requires a gradual state-shift towards presence to prevent long-term health effects.

Fortunately, Cole was coached on how best to support Sofia by multiple trauma-informed structural Integration teachers. They completed their 11-session student series with Sofia, tearfully watching her heal and return to vitality with each layer of their work together. Witnessing someone shift from a "normal" safe-feeling state to a post-traumatic ghostlike state and then to a stronger and more resilient form than when they began, completely shaped the way that Cole understood and approached healing work going forward.

Today, Cole's work emphasizes trauma-informed Somatic approaches to whole-body whole-person healing, anchored in the wisdom of the alignment-based Structural Integration framework.

To learn more about Cole's work, or to contact them directly, visit the link in our bio or www.ColeCottin.com.

We are so pleased to have Cole among our collective of talented healing arts practitioners within !

Thank you, Sofia, for consenting to share the ways this work has supported you.
