⛓ F E A R ⛓

when I worked in marketing, I feared I didn’t have colourful enough personality to make it in that world

when I was a graphic designer, I feared I wasn’t talented enough to go far

when I was as a web designer, I feared I could no longer be creative

when I became a mom, I feared Iosing myself and my freedom

when I was struggling with an eating disorder, I feared gaining weight

when I met my love, I feared I didn’t know how to be in a relationship

when I decided I was done with jobs in the concrete jungle, and started my own business, I feared I wouldn’t know how to

when I wanted to train to become a yoga teacher, I feared public speaking

and when I was already teaching yoga, the practice of stillness, I feared I was too hectic

when I went down the plant medicine path and started educating people on responsible use of psychedelic for processing trauma and aiding self discovery, I feared people would judge me

when I started dreaming up my retreats to guide people as they guide themselves, I feared nobody would book

when bookings started coming it, I fear that they might not like it

the voice of fear never stops.

and it’s a very convincing one.

fear speaks to us in ways that speak to us.

fear and excitement feel so similar to me.
both make my stomach turn.

fear keeps me where I am

excitement opens a new door

I still hear both.

I honour both.

I met both.

they are both my teachers.

retreat with me into the rainforest to get to know your fear, see beyond your own resistance, and know when to say yes anyway

🦚 M A K E S P A C E 🦚

We came to Costa Rica with only 2 nights accommodation booked

our 2nd Airbnb turned out to have acres and acres of private rainforest, hikes and waterfalls, and the most amazing shower looking right into the jungle.

we came to Costa Rica to re:connect

we came here to heal, learn and to grow

we have taken ourselves on our retreat

we knew it was the place to stay.

It was the place to have 🍄mushroom ceremonies in the jungle and
integration sessions in the hammock

we made space for the magic to happen

we didn’t plan out every detail

we were open to receive, all the magic that is already there

we made space to re:connect with the medicine

plant medicine 🍄
nature medicine
sound medicine
energy medicine
movement medicine
stillness medicine

Let yourself be surprised

be open to not plan every moment and every detail

to not need to control the outcome

to make space for what is possible

I have weaved a programme that creates just that, space, for you to re:connect to your full story

🥥 A B U N D A N C E 🥥

Costa Rica is the land of abundance,
it says so in the name

and this land really reminded me of it

abundance.

Of opportunities. possibilities. choices.

Buddha taught abundance is a state of mind, a lens we view the world through

when I stopped comparing where others are, when I stopped chasing my tail to not fall behind, I began to notice, just how much abundance there is around me

I started creating a life of abundance.

Life is here to be enJOY
love is here to FLOW through you
abundance is here for you to HAVE

join me on a soulful journey to re:connect to all the abundance life has to offer you

🌸 S O F T N E S S 🌸

I wanted to weave exploration of softness and grace into today’s class.

Bringing these qualities on to the mat to then take them beyond the practice.

I often bring what I’m currently working on in my own practice into my teaching.

Being clumsy speedy Gonzalez, I enjoy tapping into these feminine, slower, softer qualities and bringing them into my movement, my focus and awareness.

It’s easy to slip into the old ways of rushing into a shape (and into life!), so I am tuning in, flexing the awareness muscle and stay mindful of the sensations in my body as I transition slowly through space. With grace, with softness, with ease.

Today in class we were working up towards bird of paradise pose.

It’s striking, utterly gorgeous and tricky.

My expression of this pose isn’t perfect. But it’s not about the destination. It’s about finding the grace and softness on the way there.

Kundalini has been calling me for a while and now I know why.

I started a 40 day kriya challenge, I’m halfway through and I haven’t felt that good in years.

Kundalini isn’t quite like your regular yoga. it’s different to what I normally teach and practice but I love it just the same.

Kundalini is said to purify the subtle energy bodies by burning through the stagnant energy that keeps us looping procrastination, limiting beliefs, feeling stuck and small.

I love how different my energy feels these days - I am motivated, happy, creating life that fills me with joy, passion and freedoms.

Energy moves, sifts, changes. It doesn’t stay in one place for too long. Neither should we.

Yoga to me is about flexing the awareness muscle as much as it about flexing the physical ones.

I’m making space in my body, working my muscles, joints, deep tissues, sure. But more importantly, I’m making space in my mind.

I’m creating space to notice. to reflect. to pause. to really listening closely to what’s going on.

And every day that looks different.

sometimes it’s pure bliss. I don’t always leave the mat feeling ecstatic though. quite often the practice stirs things up for me. Things that I swept away,🧹things that aren’t comfortable.

But this is exactly where the treasure lies. 💎

I make a point of seeing my glass half full.

It’s much more enjoyable this way.

It doesn’t always come naturally, especially when things aren’t easy peasy lemon squeezy. 🍋

I wasn’t born or brought up this way though.

It’s a choice.

I know not to wait for the contents of my glass to change to change the way I see it.

It’s the other way round.

Magic.

Being a new yoga teacher, insecurity runs high.

That I will be judged. That I won’t deliver. That someone won’t be pleased.

That they won’t leave my class feeling relaxed/ inspired / seen / healed/ sweaty/ stretched / whatever their why to practice is / enough.

I still catch myself staying up late to run through the class in my head again and again, practicing the sequence, rehearsing my cues and reflection prompts. Trying to deliver “a perfect class”.

I remind myself I’m not there for performance.

I’m there to guide to back to breath, back to presence, back to awareness, back to whatever someone comes to the mat for.

I’m there to share the magic that yoga is. and for everyone that magic means something different.

Our fears are mirrors for where work still needs to be done.

people pleasing and not being enough are some of mine yoga helped me gained awareness of and begin to overcome.

It’s when I let go of control to be perfect, to please, to deliver “a perfect class”, I can truly deliver what practicing yoga means to me.
