This page didn't start with a strategy. It started because I couldn't afford to stay stuck anymore. And I realised that life is bigger than other people's opinions of you. And yes, people have judged me. But none of them are where I want to be 🌊

I will never judge a person who breaks down in tears over something small, because I know very well that they are not crying for that reason, but for everything they have been holding inside until that moment 🖤

Untreated trauma WILL turn into dementia and autoimmune disease. Your body remembers everything your mind tries to suppress. Pain doesn't disappear just because you avoid it, it hides in your muscles, your hormones, your nervous system, and waits for the chance to be heard.

You can silence your feelings, but your body will speak. Through migraines that won't go away. Through stomach issues that doctors can't explain. Through fatigue that no amount of sleep can fix. That's your body telling you the weight you're carrying is too heavy. Trauma that isn't processed turns into a constant state of fight - or - flight. Your nervous system forgets what calm feels like. Your memory suffers, your immunity weakens, and you start to feel decades older than you are. Healing isn't just about feeling better emotionally, it's about protecting your future health. Every time you release a suppressed wound, you free your body from the job of holding it for you. You create space for peace, safety, and vitality 🌸

She always showed up to practice.
She never spoke a word.

One day she did...

"This place didn't heal me. It just let me be broken safely. And that's what I needed."

I have no words 🩷

Please know that for some of us, we aren't just a yoga studio or a yoga class to someone. We're the pause between pain and peace.

Come as you are 🩷
We'll hold space for you 🩷

It's been a very heavy week.
And I feel so hopeless and helpless.

I feel red hot rage too.

This week I (re) learned that some humans are just plain sh*tty, and that animals are pure and amazing and that some people don't deserve them.

It's been a week since your lives were turned upside down. You didn't ask for this, and you sure didn't deserve it. It's been more stressful and traumatic than it should ever have been. It didn't have to be this way.

You've been out in the cold, and the dark, and the rain all week. You've been terrified and trembling. I cannot imagine how scared and cold you've been. Your home doesn't feel safe anymore. So you ran and hid away.

It's been a week since you sat on the deck in the morning sun. Or snuggled in your basket all day or on the couch at night.

I hope you know you've done nothing wrong. I know you feel like you're being punished and you don't understand why.

I wish I could help you. I wish I could calm you down and make you feel safe again. I wish I could do more.

I am not okay 😭💔

Tomorrow, I'll try again.
I promise you 💜🐾 x

I know this might be too diabolical for some to grasp, but hear me out... 💭

There are some women who go to yoga classes / mindful movement practices / whatever title or label you wish to argue about or give it 🙄 that have absolutely no interest in "flexibility" or "losing weight" 🫠🥴 They are not there for social purposes or community, and have no desire for small talk before (or after) class. They are there to escape from the noise and chaos in their day to day lives. To breathe unbothered. A moment of safety and stillness from a life that never lets them rest or switch off. They don't want to hear anyone's phone ringing or buzzing during their class, and they absolutely do not want to be in anyone's video. They couldn't care less about the physical / external poses, or alignment, or chasing perfection. Or doing it "right." It's an internal, deep dive for them.

THEY ARE DOING IT TO FEEL SAFE IN THEIR BODY. It is their LIFELINE 💜

They need a safe space to escape to a few times a week to breathe without distraction or extra sensory stimulus.

Is this maybe you?

Your life will change when you realise that yoga isn't something that you do. It's who you become. You just have to find your place and your people 🩷 And this too could be forever changing depending on where you are in your life from phase to phase. Everything is in constant motion, including you 🩷

This week has been fu***ng exhausting.
And all of it was completely unnecessary.

Some people thrive off of starting fires that others have to scramble to put out. I will NEVER understand how a human can lack so much compassion and empathy, and derive so much joy and satisfaction from knowing how much hurt and suffering they are causing. The physical, mental, and emotional devastation someone can cause to another being is mind boggling to me, and it truly sickens me to my core.

Lately, I'm constantly being reminded of the following brutal truths:

No one cares
And no one is coming to save you

So, where do we go from here? 😔

Your nervous system is tired of calling survival love. You are not hard to love. You are just trying to heal in places that kept breaking you 🩷🩹

Please don't sacrifice yourself to someone comfortable in their chaos.

Nobody talks about the angry stage of healing. The rage you feel when you realise how much and for how long you were taken advantage of. The absolute disgust you feel towards those people that mislead and mistreated you. It comes in waves. Sometimes you'll feel healed, and then it suddenly hits you.
