Witch
Bitch
W***e
Reclaiming her power once more
Revision she will conjure

Feminine magic
Intellectual logic
Knowledge from the core

Twisted tales
Divine truth prevails
Mixed with ancient lore

Sexual healing
Spiritual dreaming
A landscape to explore

Psychedelic lights
Mystical nights
She removes the cloak she wore

Shattered reflections
Beautiful imperfections
Open the hidden door

Deep seeded wounds
Many cyclical moons
Mending on the shore

Embracing solace from the flood
Shedding tears and sacred blood
Her intentions to implore

Compassionate mother
Sensual lover
Strength and grace galore

Emotional feeling
Sentient being
Her elixir to adore

Goddess of Light
Guided by insight
Intertwined with wisdom of yore

An alchemist of pain
Liberation she shall gain
Her path she can no longer ignore

With a heavy heart, today I honor the life, teachings, and soul transition of my beloved teacher and conveyor of Yogic knowledge.

I will remember as an extraordinary man whose heart could be seen in his boyish smile while playing cricket or when he was around children.

He always said Ashtanga is a practice for householders and I have immense gratitude for his exemplification of this…
always holding and playing with the children in the shala, open practice time for the mamas and papas, creating a space upstairs for families with children to practice, giving candies to the littles encountered walking on the streets of Gokulam, and a rose to my precious Kaia post practice outside the shala.

He embodied and embraced the practice healing himself from a childhood illness on the brink of death’s door to a life of yoga, family, and worldly contributions in both the seen and unseen realms. With integrity, compassion, and devotion; he upheld a lineage and responsibility passed on to him.

Thank you Sharath for Seeing me and Allowing me the space to go beyond what I once thought that I was capable of. Thank you for sharing your energy and your gifts. Immense gratitude to have been in your presence a year ago today not knowing if and when I would ever get to practice with you again.

Sending immeasurable love and light to the Jois family and to my Ashtanga family. Mahalo Nui 💜💫🙏
Aloha Sharath.
A Hui Hou.

Sraddha Faith Trust (and maybe a little pixie 🧚 dust 😉).

Trust in my own strength to stay firmly grounded while dropping back with heart wide open.

Bend don’t break.

In times of great despair and hardship, we may fall to our knees, hoping and praying for a shred of strength to pick ourselves up. Be still and listen. Practice the medicine of faith.

Our lives are filled with opportunities to reexamine ourselves, to course correct, to break cycles, and to create change. With time, faith can lead to deeper insights guiding us to our most authentic selves. Through these opportunities, we create compassion and empathy which allow us to share ourselves with others in this human experience.

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” — Maya Angelou

Passionflower 💜

“Native peoples of the Americas used passionflower as a sedative. Sixteenth-century Spanish explorers in South America learned of passionflower. The plant was then brought to Europe, where it became widely cultivated and was introduced to European folk medicine.

Today, passionflower is promoted as a dietary supplement for anxiety and sleep problems, as well as for pain, heart rhythm problems, menopausal symptoms, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is applied to the skin for burns and to treat hemorrhoids.”

Finding freedom within the ties that bind. Freedom within structure.
Freedom within boundaries.

Pasasana is the first asana of the Ashtanga intermediate series. It is derived from the Sanskrit words pasa, meaning “noose,” "lasso", "tie", "bind", "bond", "web", “entanglement,” or “snare,” and asana, meaning "pose" or “posture."

In yoga philosophy, it can symbolize a tie or bond that traps people in samsara (the cycle of life, death, and rebirth) as well as being trapped in physical, emotional, and ideological patterns.

A bind can also symbolize a relationship, a connection, or a commitment both physically and psychologically.

“For every human illness, somewhere in the world there exists a plant which is the cure.” Rudolph Steiner

High in antioxidants, Mamaki is an endemic Hawaiian herbal medicine. It is soothing to the nervous system reducing the effects of stress and inflammation.

From a Chinese Medicine perspective, it regulates liver qi, harmonizes the middle burner, and clears damp heat in the lower burner.

It has commonly been used for insomnia, irritability, tissue cleansing, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, fatigue, high cholesterol, digestive issues, liver health, colic, thrush, depression, menstrual irregularities, and bladder infections.

Research found Mamaki extract to be anti-viral in vitro against Herpes simplex 1 & 2; anti-bacterial against Streptococcus pyogenes & Staphylococcus aureus, and anti-fungal [Locher 1995].

“From a cultural, medicinal, and ecological perspective, it is clear that māmaki holds great importance and deserves further exemplification. By promoting māmaki, it is the hope of this review to increase the awareness surrounding this incredible plant, hopefully supporting beneficial economic and medicinal outcomes that serve to better indigenous communities and the Hawaiian Islands as a whole.”
