We come from a lineage of teachers, a Golden Link that reminds us that ‘Social Justice is a Spiritual Practice’. Silence is not neutral.

Gender based violence is not a debate. It is a national emergency.
In the year ending March 2024, 5,578 women were murdered in South Africa.
That is 1 woman every 3 hours.
Our femicide rate is about x5 higher than the global average.

These are not numbers. These are our sisters, our friends, our mothers, our daughters. Lives taken with a violence so routine that the country has learned to absorb the shock.

People often mistake non-violence for weakness. In yoga, non violence, ahimsa, is a niyama, a discipline, a vow to protect life. So tomorrow, we protest in peace. We stand for peace. We honour life by refusing to replicate the violence that has taken so much from us.

Our anger, our grief, and our power will be felt through the thousands who gather tomorrow in solidarity with . This is what happens when people unite for a single purpose.
This is group consciousness, a collective intention that is thicker than fear, stronger than oppression, and capable of transforming the world.

Tomorrow we gather as a community, as healers, as students, as teachers, as South Africans who refuse to look away. We are ready to pool our energy into a single message that echoes across every realm. This darkness will end. The light is already coming.

For those who are able to join us, we will see you tomorrow 💜For those who cannot, if your intention is with us, your contribution is already felt.

Senzeni na.

Online Full Moon Gathering 🚨

This evening’s full moon in Ta**us lights our skies during Scorpio season. Ta**us is a fixed earth sign that invites us to slow down, be present in our bodies and remember the importance of grounding. Scorpio, a fixed water sign, asks us to explore the shadows that live beneath the surface, the emotional currents we often overlook. Together, this moon invites depth with steadiness, reflection with gentleness.

This is the second super full moon of the final three of the year. Its timing prepares us to begin closing this cycle, to notice what still needs understanding, soft release or completion as we move toward the end of the year.

To speak to this energy, we will be guided by as she leads us through movement and breathwork to reconnect with the relationship between our bodies and our emotional states. She will share journal prompts for later reflection and conclude with a card reading to support clarity and guidance as we enter these final months of the year.

Please have some water handy, wear warm comfortable clothing, and have something to write with.

Time: 18:45
Place: IG Live

Happy Full Moon Tribe✨

We may have closed our physical studio, but our community is still very much alive. We’ll keep gathering, practicing, and growing together.

The Nest was never just the building. We’re still here, still planning, still creating spaces to connect.

Our doors may be closed but our community continues. We’ll see you soon in the spaces we create together.

✨ Scorpio Season ✨

We entered Scorpio season on the 22nd October..
A time of depth. A time of honesty and a time of returning to what is real inside us.

Scorpio is fixed water. It does not rush. It does not spill. It holds.
It teaches us to be with our emotions rather than escape them.
To sit with what is uncomfortable.
To listen to what the body has been whispering beneath the noise.

This season invites us to slow down and look beneath the surface of our lives.
What am I holding onto that is asking to be released.
What truth am I finally ready to acknowledge.
What part of me is ready to be reclaimed.

Transformation is not dramatic here.
It is quiet.
It happens in the small moments where we choose honesty over avoidance. Presence over performance and feeling over numbing.

In our practice, we move with presence. We breathe into the places that ache and we allow the heart to soften at its own pace.

There is no rushing what is meant to unfold.

Scorpio season reminds us that healing is not about becoming someone new but rather about remembering who we were before we learned to hide.

May this season grant you courage, softness, and depth.
We are walking this inner journey together.

New Moon in Libra

Tonight’s New Moon arrives as Eclipse Season closes,
a soft exhale after weeks of shadow and revelation.

What has felt uncertain or out of rhythm is slowly finding its way back to harmony.
This lunation invites us to pause in the middle ground, to soften into balance,to listen for what wants peace rather than control.

Libra, ruled by Venus, reminds us that relationship is a practice of grace.
How we hold ourselves is how we hold each other.
In the stillness between breaths, we learn to love without striving,to choose truth over tension, to begin again with gentleness.

Tonight we gather for our FINAL Moon gathering in this home,
to honour the teachers who have poured their heart, breath,
and devotion into this space.
In their presence, this circle becomes a prayer of gratitude
for what has been, and a quiet opening to what is becoming.

Movement and breathwork with

We step into the heart of Libra season, a passage ruled by Venus, calling us back to harmony, truth, and beauty ✨ both within and around us.

This Libra energy moves like a mirror, reflecting all that has been brought into balance, and all that must now be released to create space for what is becoming. The scales remind us that peace is not passive, it is a practice. One we return to again and again, especially in times of transition.

As The Nest Space prepares to close this physical chapter, the energy of Libra invites us into grace 🤍 to honour endings not as loss, but as realignment.

Pluto continues its slow, transformative journey through Aquarius, reshaping collective consciousness and urging us to release what no longer serves the whole. This is the deeper undercurrent of change many of us are feeling: the quiet call to evolve, to rebuild, to begin again differently.

Mercury’s post-shadow reminds us to speak gently, to listen deeply, and to choose our words as acts of devotion.

This season is not about rushing forward. It is about moving deliberately, letting beauty and truth lead the way.

As we close one circle and open another, may we all find balance between surrender and creation, stillness and movement, self and community.

The air shifts, but the spirit remains.
We are learning to breathe again, together.

Happy Libra Season Tribe ✨🤍

The End of Chapter 2, and the Beginning of Chapter 3 ✨🙏🏾

When we opened our doors in Greenside in 2018, we dreamed of creating a space rooted in accessibility, inclusivity, and true healing. That dream became The Nest Space, a home for community, for rest, and for remembering that wellness belongs to us all.

When the pandemic forced us to close our Greenside doors, we were heartbroken. But from that ending came a new beginning. In that stillness, we planted a seed through our yoga teacher training school, which began online and later evolved into a hybrid model. Since then, we’ve had the honour of training nearly 100 yogis of colour across South Africa and beyond.

When the world reopened, we found our new home in Parktown North. For the past three years, this space has carried our dreams, our community, and our hope to rebuild what was lost. From the start, The Nest was never meant to be only a yoga studio. Our vision included a vegan café and a zero waste store alongside our classes, a place where wellness, sustainability, and community could meet. Though that full vision could not yet come to life in our new home, it remained the heartbeat of what we were building.

A few months ago, our landlord placed the building on the market. We fought hard to secure it, exercising our Right of First Refusal and gathering support within days. We raised a significant portion, but not enough to meet the offer in full.

The property has since been sold, and as our lease ends, we know this timing is no coincidence. It is alignment ✨ a quiet confirmation that this chapter was always meant to close exactly as it’s unfolding.

This is not a loss, but a moment of surrender. A reminder that sometimes what we build is meant to evolve beyond walls.

The Nest will continue to live through our teachers, our students, and the ever-growing community of yogis who carry this mission forward. We are still teaching, still showing up, still believing in accessible, mindful wellness for all.

So this is not goodbye. It is thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And It is see you soon.

With love deep gratitude and pride,

Banesa and Dr Anesu 🤍
