🌍✨ Happy International Yoga Day! ✨🌍⁠

🧘‍♂️🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏿 Yoga is more than just a practice; it’s a way of life. Whether it’s a good day or a tough one, yoga is the constant—a sacred space where we can connect with ourselves, breathe deeply, and find the resilience to navigate life’s highs and lows. 🧘‍♀️⁠

🧘🏿On this International Yoga Day, let’s honor the ancient wisdom of yoga that reminds us to pause, be present, and embrace our inner stillness. 🧘‍♂️Yoga isn’t about touching your toes or achieving perfection—it’s about discovering the peace and strength within.⁠

🧘🏽‍♀️Every breath, every asana, every moment of stillness is a step closer to understanding who we are and how we can flow with life’s rhythms. 🌿⁠

Yoga at home is exactly how I need it... family... dogs... indoors... outdoors. It's beautiful, it's sweet, it's at times interrupted 😅, but it's perfect. And always in my ⁠ 🧘🏿🧘‍♂️🧘🏽‍♀️

✨ How are you celebrating International Yoga Day?⁠
Let’s unroll our mats together and make space for growth, healing, and connection. 🌞⁠

Before enlightenment, chop wood.⁠
After enlightenment, chop wood.⁠
~ Zen saying⁠

The student, wondering when he can get past suffering of daily life to Nirvana, asks the Buddha what one does when they become enlightened? ⁠
To which the Buddha replies 'chop wood, carry water' same as he did before. ⁠

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 This is to indicate a few things.

🧡It means that having attachment to some grandiose idea of what life is beyond enlightenment is also an attachment that should be let go.
🧡It illustrates that taking care of one's body and the survival of the community, taking care of a fair share of obligations and responsibilities, is not something that changes.
🧡It also continues to show that everybody should be humble enough to do the most menial of tasks, as no one person (enlightened or not) is too important.⁠


⁠Beautiful 🙏🏽🧡🧡🧡

do more than just exist⁠

September for me was travel and fun and adventure (also work and flu and family) ⁠🦋💙🐋🕸🧘🏽‍♀️🪺🕸✨️🌈☃️

Getting out of my routine and my norm... was not only incredible (omg, how beautiful is this world and how lucky are we to know it?) but also a chance to realise what I want to shift⁠

I realised how unbelievably BUSY I am ⁠😵‍💫...with kids and family and work ⁠and clients⁠
no time for any chance of spontaneity (or me 🥺) bc there just isn't any space for it ⁠

October is my month to build balance⁠ 🤗🌈
I might not get it right all of the time, but I am going to shoot for the moon and be happy to land amongst the stars⁠✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

How do you find you have managed to balance your work / life ?⁠

Reflecting on the past few days and weeks, it's been a whirlwind of emotions, hasn't it? I'm officially exhausted.

The weight of the world, the relentless pace of life, the celestial dance of the moon and eclipses... it's all been a lot to process.
And here we are, already in March (NEARLY APRIL!), feeling the weight of time pressing on us. I keep telling myself to hang in there for one more week and THEN things will slow down (when you find yourself saying it for the 13th week running in 2024... you start wondering if its a line that I am feeding to myself? 😑😅🫠)⁠

But guess what? It's okay to admit it's tough.
It's okay to acknowledge that sometimes it feels like we're carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. If you're feeling this too, just know you're not alone. It's hard right now, for so many of us.⁠

Maybe it's time for a break. A chance to hit pause, breathe, and recharge. If you're yearning for that escape, I invite you to join me at The Cavern Resort Drakensberg this May for a Yoga Winter retreat that promises to be exactly what you need.⁠🙏🏽✨️🌈

Pack your favorite books, your sturdy hiking boots, maybe even a tennis racket, but most importantly, don't forget your yoga mat. Bring yourself, exactly as you are, and let's immerse ourselves in the rejuvenating embrace of nature. Fresh air, happy yoga sessions, and the company of fellow yogis.⁠

Let's take this opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, to find solace in each breath, and to remember that amidst the chaos, there's always a space for peace and renewal. Hope to see you there, on your mat. ⁠

🌿🧘‍♂️⁠

Friday 2 May - Monday 6 May⁠ ⁠🌈🙏🏽✨️

September is National Yoga Awareness Month - and there has been discussion around WHY we started practicing⁠


I had dipped in and out of yoga for years but started practicing consistently when my eating disorder, drinking and CFS were at their worst 23 years ago. ⁠
I always smile when I think, I started for "nefarious" reasons (hot yoga / weight loss) and ended up with a new life⁠ 🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️
Yoga doesn't care why you start. ⁠JUST START.⁠

Yoga helped me to see ME.⁠
The bad. The good. The infinite potential.⁠
✈️ 19 years ago I went to India and lived in an ashram to do my Yoga Teacher Training and got sober⁠
Today is my son's 12th birthday.⁠ 🎈🎈🎈
I got sober for him, before I knew him 🙏🏽🤍


⁠What brought you to the practice?⁠ 🧘🏽‍♀️🤍
And what keeps you there🙏🏽
