// Our state of mind is closely linked to the quality of prāna within

// Changes of mind can be observed primarily in our relationships with other people. Relationships are the real test of whether we actually understand ourselves better.

I view chakrasana as a fluid motion ⭕️ Like a wheel, I visualise no edges.
The action and breath does not hold or stop… it moves together.

Sthira refers to stability, intent, and strength (the technique)
Sukha means with ease and comfort (the breath)

These ingredients teamed with practice
bring about a new found sense of trust within ourselves.

I filmed this to show the breakdown of #chakrasana to @martin.west.fitness
He graciously said I could share them.

As you can see he’s a quick learner!
But for most of us, this transition can take time and practice.

We’re covering this transition on March 3rd during a weekend workshop with @sandra.howling

I have experienced the most wholesome weekend of practice, scenery and superb company in the French Alps 🌲

We practised morning and evening, celebrated 2 birthdays, hiked (whilst being shepherded by Spike the dog 🐕) and laughed until we ached…
every moment was savoured.

The sounds of nature and cowbells in the valleys have really stayed with me 🤍

Thank you to everyone for the energy you shared, the attention to detail from the chalet hosts and chefs,
and to @lisa_valentine_retreats_ for making this mountain reset possible for us.

I am honoured to share that I am offering a week long ashtanga yoga retreat at @yogapulia - a beautiful venue created by Mark & Nicola that draws devoted practitioners back year after year.

July 3rd - July 9th 2027

4 spaces left

I invite you into a week of dedicated practice in the tranquil and rustic region of Valle d’itria, Puglia, Italy.
Each morning begins with sunrise assisted self-practice, followed by carefully curated workshops throughout the week exploring technique, mantra, philosophy, and meditation.
Deepen your relationship with practice, cultivate consistency, and create genuine connection within a small, supportive group.

For more information there’s a link in my bio.

There is ample time to begin an ashtanga practice if you’ve been curious for some time.

Reserve your space sooner than later, I can tell it’s going to be special

Did we overcomplicate things? Did we forget why we loved the things we loved, before we made it about achieving?

If your art, or your practice, stirs something deeply within you then that was always enough.

Discomfort contains information;
uncertainty, fear, vulnerability, curiosity, even grief - they make us human and are essential fibres to the complex network that is growth.

We can be walking nowhere without being lost.

Returning, gradually 🌱
When dad was dying I felt like I was losing my home. As he deteriorated being near him was a great comfort to me, albeit incredibly difficult to comprehend.
Even when he died in my arms, I felt a huge privilege to walk him out of this life.
Since then I’ve remembered all the lessons I learned from yoga - my home is not attached to anything or anyone - it is a state deep within the self. Everything else is just a Vrtti - a fluctuation of the mind.
Grief, in particular, evokes one of these states: “smrti”(memory). It takes courage to witness memory and hold close a great love that existed, but practise how to gently let these fluctuations move through me, not consume me.
Grief is complex but I return to the lessons again and again - to love deeply, grieve honestly and accept that freedom is found in allowing life to unfold as it must.

Mayurasana, like many poses, is a microcosm of a journey, an inner alchemy.
It requires a heaviness - we must meet the ground fully.
Through trial, and inevitable failure, we learn how to shift.
Eventually the paradox happens.
The same force that could collapse us becomes the force that elevates us

What feels like resistance becomes relationship;
what once held us down becomes the very thing that teaches us to rise
