Six years on, many of us are still integrating the deep shifts that began when the world changed in 2020. For some, it felt like seeing behind a veil, unsettling, awakening, and impossible to ignore.
What lingered just as strongly, during that time, was the experience of not being heard. When something can’t be measured in conventional ways, it’s often dismissed. Yet intuition and lived experience are also forms of intelligence.
In 2020, I went through a period that deeply affected my mind and body. I was exposed to distressing information that overwhelmed my system, and living in London at the time intensified the stress. I later dealt with ongoing cortisol-related physical issues, mental health struggles, and a strong sense of isolation. Moving back home to Jozi in lock down, after ten years of being away, felt surreal, like I was in a different reality to those around me. Looking back, I can see how overloaded my nervous system truly was.
These times have shaken humanity. Systems are questioned, shadows surface, and while that can feel heavy, it is also where healing begins. Awakening asks us to hold both light and dark without being consumed by either, and to return to compassion, presence, and conscious living.
For me, the solution begins within - and this is where yoga comes in.
Yoga brings us back into relationship with the body, instead of living only in the mind. It helps clear what we carry, regulate the nervous system, and create safety inside ourselves. Through breath, movement, stillness, and awareness, we gently meet old wounds and begin to live from presence rather than survival.
To practice yoga is to remember wholeness. To treat the body as a temple. To listen deeply. To unite mind, body, and soul.
Starting 1st March, I’ll be hosting a 7-week online yoga course where we use movement and breathwork to gently move through heavy emotions. Through somatic practices, you’ll learn how to release what the body is holding and develop tools to navigate challenging times, supporting regulation, presence, and connection, rather than turning to numbing or dissociation.
More details coming soon...
