Yesterday afternoon we made our way back to the village of Kostorazi. After wandering through the town and soaking up its charm, we headed to my uncle’s farm high in the mountains. There was something so peaceful about watching the cattle slowly graze their way down the hillside before my uncle rounded them up for the evening. Simple moments like these remind you how connected life can be to the land, the seasons, and tradition. What gave us a laugh was that even the cattle seemed to know we weren’t locals. As they stopped and stared right back at us, it felt like they too had decided we were xeni... strangers in their world. A beautiful afternoon filled with fresh mountain air, sunset, family, laughter, and memories I’ll treasure for a long time. 🇬🇷❤️

Three nights in this incredible city have flown by, and what a gift it’s been. It’s been more than 30 years since I was last here, and returning has brought back so many memories. Walking the streets, taking in the history, the views, the food, and the atmosphere has been something I’ll treasure. But what has made this trip even more meaningful is sharing it with family. ❤️ There’s something special about revisiting a place from your past and experiencing it through fresh eyes, surrounded by the people you love. Thank you, Athens, for the memories old and new. 🇬🇷✨

There’s so much wisdom in this teaching team ✨ Years of experience, genuine care, and a shared commitment to holding space. I feel deeply grateful for each of them. However, none of it means anything without you. You are why this space exists. Your journey, your growth, your presence here, that’s what we’re in service of. Thank you for choosing State of Zen 🤍🪷💫

Sava🫶you know him, you love him. Too many trainings to mention (though look on the website 🤯) Sava is the functional, creative, mobility wizard. We are so grateful for his cool playlists, his care and depth of knowledge. On a personal note, Sava was my first (unofficial/unknowingly) yoga teaching mentor and my first experience of vinyasa flow yoga. Catch him this week before he disappears for a month or so🤍

What a week… The end of an era. My late brother’s birthday. My Nana’s celebration of life. A new job. I’m definitely feeling all the feels and holding both the grief and joy simultaneously I’m still making my way through the hundreds of messages and will continue responding slowly. I’m so deeply grateful for your sincere appreciation and support. It has been overwhelming in the most beautiful, humbling way… to hear how life-changing the studio and my teachings have been for so many of you. Thank you for your reciprocity, your vulnerability, and your trust. To my team - Sava, Eric, Greg, Rach, Sally, Kat, Celesta, Stacey, Kate, Eve, Estelle, Oli, Katie, Jess, Jo, Jess - and the hundreds of teachers who have guided powerful practices over the last 13.5 years: finding the words to express my thanks feels impossible, but I will try in the coming weeks. And to the managers who held it all (and at times me) together - Mona, Emily, Eric, Anna and Greg - thank you. Truly. I was never here to simply teach what to do, but how and why we do it. To inspire asking the harder questions, rather than searching for easier answers. You have the tools. Yoga has shown you the way. Keep showing up. Breathing. Move & feel with faith… and see what unfolds. This will be my final post here. If you’d like to stay connected, you can find me at @haylsamber. From my heart to yours… a thousand thank-yous for entrusting me with your spirit, it will remain one of the greatest honours of my life. Hari Om With love, Hayls

. You can shut yourself in a room, close the doors, lock all the windows and seal up every crack, but suffering will still find its way in. It’s just part of the human experience. The past year, and especially the last 6 months, have been some of the most confronting of my life… This studio was born from devotion - to you, to the collective and to the practice that met me in my darkest hours - slowly guiding me back to myself. It’s been an absolute honour to facilitate a safe space for curiosity, expansion and connection. But lately, the steady weight of orchestrating schedules and of tending to others’ wellbeing, began to take a toll on my own. Somewhere in the constant giving and holding I realised I was running on empty. That the cost to my body, to my children, and to my creative spirit was too high… In the quiet that followed I returned to the things that make me feel most alive: dancing, performing, the process of making again, and of educating and mentoring the next generation. That remembering brought clarity, I realised I needed space… to grow and keep evolving as an artist, a mother, a human. And that space could only come by letting go of something I have poured so much of myself into. So after almost 14 extraordinary years, I’ve decided to hand Bhāva over to new custodians - people who can give it the presence and energy it needs to thrive in its next chapter. I’ll still be here - teaching, running trainings and retreats, but it’s a turning point… One that honours the community that built this place, and the many lives that have been transformed within it. Thank you for being part of this. Every breath, every laugh, every tear, every Savasana is woven into the fabric of this great studio. The journey continues - in new hands but with the same heart. Endings disguised as beginnings. Be well, do good Hari Om, Hayley @haylsamber

The dance between control and surrender isn’t always graceful. But it’s always real. Forever a trip co-creating, flowing, transcending - and occasionally disagreeing with @savapapos Down the rabbit hole we go. Until next year Bali.
