I wonder what this world would look like if we were taught to celebrate vulnerability from an early age. I wonder how our lives would be different if we allowed ourselves to play more, express our love more, share more intimately about what weโ€™re struggling with and talk about the small ordinary things we love.

To me, courage is to drink the day in and be all in for it, wherever and however we are. Because this is already it. And I know, itโ€™s not always that easy.

The wood-fire bridge is happening in nature right now, as the season is shifting from spring to summer. This is the natural world extending itself from fullness to fullness without hesitation. Blossoming is courageous, its the seed giving it all to this one life just because it can, instead of waiting in the dark soil.

When your acting with clear direction, hope and a willingness to grow (wood qualities) toward a vision that is aligned with the hearts truth (fire element) โ€”> courage comes alive.

The moment after a courageous act can feel like sweet completion, a purr of satisfaction around the heart. In that very moment it doesnโ€™t matter what happens next.

Join me tomorrow for a Yin Journey into the wood-fire bridge and courage.
Thursday 18th, 19:00-20:30 CEST

Weaving acupressure, somatic practices for nervous system support and guided meditation into a Yin journey to hold you through the fire season without burning out.

I believe that yoga practiced TOGETHER hits different than solo practices. It guides us towards ourselves in a shared space where our nervous systems are mirrors, and there is a possibility for co-regulation.

If you feel comfortable with your teacher and who or what is in the room, chances are you are able to sink deeper into yourself. And as facilitators, we can soften the pressure of delivering โ€œthe right thingโ€ because itโ€™s more important to be present with the space exactly as we are. Then we can be felt, and that is what brings relaxation in connection.

The shared physical yoga spaces is what Iโ€™ve missed the most the last few months. Even through, that feeling of togetherness has been coming back since we started gathering online. Itโ€™s a privilege and a gift to be able meet in practice.

If you have joined any of my online classes lately - THANK YOU for being here!!! It is such a joy to share yoga again. ๐Ÿชถ

To act with courage is to act from the deepest part of yourself.

The Wood-Fire bridge is the change process that brings us from spring to summer. Energetically, itโ€™s happening within you when you feel a calling to step into your life, whatever that means to you.

Itโ€™s the moment when ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฆ๐ž๐ž๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ก๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ญ.

Iโ€™ve felt most courageous in times when I have chosen my own life. When I quit my business job to start teaching yoga full time (12 yrs ago now!). And lately, when I chose to trust in love and togetherness after a lifetime of doing everything alone.

Courage is daring to listen to the heartโ€™s song, even when it escapes the beaten track and takes you into the unknown. It might be uncomfortable. Often, that discomfort is crucial for intentional change to happen.

In the natural world right now, we see bursting aliveness expressed in colour, form and radiance. Everything starts to bloom in its own unique way and says โ€œhey, this is life moving through as me.โ€

A practice for you to connect with this time of unfolding and maturing >> take a moment with these questions and maybe, let them move something in you:

>> What is the vision your heart is holding for your life?

>> What does devotion mean to you?

>> What would it feel like to trust your own path?
.and thereโ€™s more, come and explore Courage from the inside out: 90 mins of Yin yoga, poetry, nervous system attunement and guided meditation. Recording available.

๐Ÿ‘ฃ

as blood must
circulate
through a body to be vital,

as water must pass
through the gills
for a fish to be alive,

the dance of our spirits
must move through us
if we are to know
and feel our place

in the mysterious
scheme of things.

For it is the dance of spirit
that opens us
to who we are.

>>
From โ€™the exquisite riskโ€™ by mark nepo.

I hold this close to heart today
after countless changes, moves and risks taken
now dancing on foreign lands

with hope in my chest
and softness in my belly
gaze lifted,
there is freedom
in my hands

and I can taste the fruits of courage

โค๏ธ

I hope you are able to dance somehow
wherever you are.

Sunlight informs the vibrancy and movement of every aspect of life. As summer approaches, the Yang energy is increasing.

You might feel it in subtle ways, life seems to pull us from the inside out, out, out.

Itโ€™s the season of connection, expression and intensity. No time for rest, not right now.

05/07/2026

For as long as I can remember, I have been wanting to know, wanting to feel, wanting to understand the fabric of aliveness. How its woven and why.

Is my inner experience the same as yours?
What is that field beneath it all that connects us, even beyond lifetimes?
How can I let that primordial wisdom, which is not yours or mine, live through me?
Can I touch the immanent?

What is awareness?
Formless, wordless, essentially ungraspable. It canโ€™t be described, only known by direct experience. When awareness is aware of itself. Indian philosophy refers to it as โ€™atmanโ€™, which can be translates as the word โ€™Selfโ€™ or โ€™itselfโ€™.

Sally Kemptonโ€™s words:

โ€Like oil in sesame seeds, like ghee in butter, the Self lies within the mind.

The Self is what makes the mind think, but cannot be thought by the mind.

That which shines through all senses, yet is without senses.

Any one of these statements, if you were to ruminate over it, would give you a feeling for the Self, for pure awareness. โ€

Thatโ€™s why yoga had my heart from the start, two decades ago. It felt like it brought me closer to the questions that opened my heart to life itself.

And to be honest, as I study and explore, the questions multiply. In a humbling cycle of going deeper, then shallower, then deeper again and in and out and out and in.
It doesnโ€™t let me fall asleep.

Iโ€™d love to hear what its like for you๐Ÿค

๐Ÿ‰

Itโ€™s 24 hours until we meet in my Sunday Yin workshop Hope. Since the doors opened Iโ€™ve received messages from friends, students and strangers from all over the world sharing that they need exactly this, or that they have a friend who does.

And I feel it in my bones, we need resources, tools and and spaces to rest our bodies into feeling possibilities and ease our minds into having more clarity. The world is so messed up, that naturally brings us into fear and contraction. Your emotional responses, even anger/frustration as well as capacity for compassion is needed more than ever.

When we come together in practice to resource ourselves and share the intention of deep listening, tune into what wants to move through and open to receive our own personal HOWโ€™s.. thats when un-stucking starts to happen.

I love this poem, written by Lorie Dechar specifically for one of the acupoints we will work with during the Hope workshop: Liver 3, Tai Chong, also called Supreme Rushing.

Ice melts and water
gushes up. Between black stones
wild cress sprouts green.

The pulse of life needs hope to move. As much as the pulse of life is moved by hope.

Iโ€™ve noticed how a deep remembering of hope comes to me when I let go of the pressure to perform or fit into an externally created frame.

In Yin. In doing less.
In staying still long enough to feel what wantโ€™s to move.


In Yin.
Where I can feel my own response to life.

Through yin and the practice of allowing life to flow in and through as it naturally does on itโ€™s own, and there.. finding what sparks curiosity, aliveness and desire to receive more, evolve, change form.

Hope leads the way in welcoming the rhythm of aliveness that holds infinite wisdom, boundless power and deep care. Hope guides us forward and through.

Thereโ€™s so much more to share. Looking forward to melt into hope together on Sunday 26th April. ๐Ÿค

Here we are, under the new moon in Aries. The beginning of beginnings.โ€จโ€จThis is the moon that asks you to start. Not when you are ready, but now. What have you been waiting to begin? Ouff, this question. ๐Ÿ™ƒ Do you feel it too? Itโ€™s the energetic time of Wood, the part of you that wants to evolve is aching to be acknowledged. Growth. The energetic rise, up and out, like tender tree branches reaching for the nurturing spring sun. Itโ€™s in the pulse of aliveness itself, a yearning to become.

Become, unfurl, spiral open to be new in the world again. And again and again.
โ€จThat feeling of inner forward momentumย has a flavour of hope.ย โ€จ
เผ˜โ‹†เผ„.ยฐโ‹†
โ€จWhen it comes to hope, itโ€™s a tender thing. Hope can be the sudden insight that itโ€™s worth staying alive. It can be the moment that we decide to quit a draining job and take a leap of faith into something new. Or the choice of staying in a relationship even though itโ€™s scary to be vulnerable and trust love.ย I know.

Wherever we are and whatever weโ€™re going through, the search for meaning connects us.ย And how life weaves toward and into that which feels meaningful.. is guided by hope.

Find a love note in your inbox ๐Ÿ’Œ with my personal share on how the Hope workshop was born. Itโ€™s tender, so be gentle with yourself if you choose to go there.

Hope.

When I attune to how hope expresses itself in my body, I feel expansion, joy, a wide landscape view. It tickles my toes, gives me goosebumps, widens my sight. I followed that feeling all around the world.

It was the driving force behind every yes. The curiosity that dissolved any wall of hesitation.

At the end of last year I was in survival mode. I couldnโ€™t access any level of hope. Life felt lived on pause, as if I was holding my breath. I didnโ€™t realise the contraction until I started feeling life moving through me again. Little by little, inspiration became excitement. A willingness to share again.

That inner โ€œwant to, and how to.โ€
That is hope.

In TCM, hope lives in us as the Wood element โ€” the liver spirit, Hun. Our inner compass. Our dream space and spiritual eye.

Spring is when it peaks.
I feel it in the possibility of the sunshine in the morning. I feel it in my fluttering heart when envisioning a dream of what could be.
That, for me, is hope.

If this sparks something in you, follow that opening.

Hope โ€” a yin journey into the Wood element
Sunday 26th April โœจ

Weโ€™ll move through the emotional landscape of the Wood element together. Our anger that protects, our compassion that opens, and HOPE that keeps everything moving forward.

Weaving acupressure, somatic practice and guided meditation into a yin journey for the seasonโ€™s return to aliveness.
