Yoga With DiLynn

This week’s Sanskrit word is bhāgya.
It’s often translated as luck — but it actually points to the portion we receive when we participate.

I’ve been thinking about how many things I once called “lucky” that were really the result of steady practice. Showing up. Repeating the basics. Training the nervous system. Building capacity.

Bhāgya isn’t superstition.
It’s structure meeting timing.
It’s effort ripening.

This week I’m paying attention to where preparation is shaping outcomes — even if the bloom looks effortless from the outside.

Here are our guided journal prompts for this week!

In today’s practice, where did I physically grip the most? What emotion lived there?

Do I move deeper in poses to feel worthy, or to feel present?

What does steadiness feel like in my body versus striving?

When I wobble, what narrative appears?

How might I practice 80% effort this week instead of 110%?

Hey, Witchlings!
I've been fighting burnout since Samhain/Halloween, and I have been falling down at making sure my content got poste. I am working on fixing that now.
Thank you all for bearing with me through this.

Hey, Witchlings!
If you have the financial ability to donate here, please do. If you can share this, PLEASE go to the original post and share it so Brooke gets the funding for the shares.
If you're Green Bay local, make noise. Call everyone, share the fluff out of this and make this not an issue. There shouldn't BE an issue here!

I want to tell you about someone who decided that freezing to death was not an acceptable outcome.

Her name is Elizabeth Feldhausen. She runs Safe Haven Pet Sanctuary in Green Bay Wisconsin. When the temperature fell into a dangerous range, she expanded the meaning of her sanctuary. She let human beings, the unhoused, come inside to spend the night.

Since then, they became volunteer overnight caretakers of the cats. She gave them a purpose, a community, and safety.

And now the City of Green Bay Government is punishing her for it.

They have sent her notice that everyone must be out by tomorrow or she will face repercussions.

Tomorrow.

Our city acknowledged in the letter that the people were inside because the alternative was to sleep outside in a Wisconsin winter. These were people who the shelters either refused or had no room for. There is no other option for them.

These individuals are signed up as volunteers. They are contributing to the sanctuary’s operation. The sanctuary has an overnight staff. There is no reason they should not also be allowed overnight volunteers.

If you can spare anything, please help Elizabeth secure temporary lodging for them while she tries to speak reason into our mayor.

Her PayPal is elizabethfeldhausen@gmail.com
Her CashApp is $elizabethfeldhausen
(Her cashapp is currently blocked for too many sudden payments. If you need to use cashapp you can send it to me and I’ll bring her the cash $letsnotdate)
Her own Venmo is linked to Safe Haven and the funds cannot be used for this so please instead Venmo her husband’s -jablonski-9

I will send her any money this post makes from your comments and shares, and I will contribute some of the page profits as well.

A city is measured by who it protects when the temperature drops.
Right now, a woman with a cat sanctuary is doing more protecting than the government meant to serve us.

If you believe people should not freeze outside while empty space exists inside, help her keep them alive. ♥️

Please share this post.

HeartFire is the part of practice that asks, “Can I return to this on a tired day?”

Not on your best day.
Not when everything is aligned and uninterrupted.
But on the days when your body is heavy, your mind is full, and your energy is low.

If the answer is yes, it belongs in your life.

HeartFire isn’t about intensity or performance. It’s about warmth, steadiness, and relationship. It’s the kind of practice that adapts to real bodies and real lives—one that doesn’t punish you for showing up gently.

A HeartFire practice might look different from day to day. Some days it’s movement. Some days it’s breath. Some days it’s rest and conscious stillness. What matters is not how much you do, but whether the practice meets you where you are.

If a practice only works when you’re energized, focused, and unburdened, it may be asking too much. Not because you’re failing—but because sustainability matters.

Yoga was never meant to be something you survive. It’s meant to be something you can return to again and again.

So today, ask yourself:
Can I come back to this on a tired day?

Let that be your measure.
Warmth over strain.
Tending over force.
Care that lasts.

Our Sanskrit word for the week is Sankalpa, meaning sacred intention.

In yoga, Sankalpa isn’t about striving or fixing—it’s about choosing how we show up, regardless of what unfolds.

This week, we’ll explore how intention can guide practice more gently than expectation ever could.

Some guided journaling prompts for the week:

What helps you feel grounded when the world feels overwhelming?

What’s one small way you practice peace in your daily life?

How do you protect your energy while still caring about others?

Where have you noticed kindness creating a ripple effect?

What helps you rest without guilt?

Samastah means “all of us.”
Peace is not something we achieve alone. It’s something we build together — through our choices, our boundaries, and what we refuse to normalize.
What we do matters beyond ourselves.
