🪷 Curious about our pilgrimage to India? Listen to @sewmanystories talk about her many experiences on the subcontinent and all she has learned along the way. 🌟

➡️Join Vishali Varga, Vanessa Airey & Sarah Webb in this incredible opportunity to deeply immerse yourself in the experience of yatra, the yogic practice of traveling to the most sacred spaces in India. A yatra is not a ‘vacation’, but an engagement of the body, like asana, a demanding activity that allows one to experience stretching and re-balancing body, heart, and mind.

For those of you who don’t know me or don’t know me well…my name is Vanessa and I use she/her pronouns.

I’ve been practicing asana since 2014, guided by teachers shaped by more than modern postural yoga; by philosophy, history, and lived devotion. Each of them, in one way or another, traced their studies back to India.

For the past decade, I’ve followed this thread like a terrier on a scent, seeking teachers who asked harder questions about power, lineage, culture, and meaning, not just poses. Now it feels time to follow that thread to its source.

I want to get lost in a culture with the hope of finding myself. To be challenged enough to question the things I think I’m sure of. To practice being uncomfortable in ways that actually matter. And to seriously contemplate what it means, for me, to be a yogi.

This isn’t a trip. It’s a pilgrimage.
Are you ready to join me?

Last week, I had the joy of welcoming the poets we were hosting at The Blue Shore Writers Retreat into The Ceilidh House exhibition for a private reading, as part of The Blue Shore Writers Retreat, which I co-host with Holly Wren Spaulding @poetryforge

What a gift it was to witness poet-friends wander through this space slowly, eyes lit up, visibly enchanted by the collaborative work.

To be a poet in the world is nothing short of a rebellion, the kind of rebellion that’s rooted in joy—

to write
to edit
to dare
to dream
to collaborate
to curate
to design
to build
to celebrate

to bring this to life in under a year.

It asked a lot of me. Energetically, financially, creatively. But I had that wholehearted YES, and I trust that above all else.

People were moved! And whilst I can’t speak for their experience, thanks to @ralphtonge and his incredible photography, I can share a few of these moments with you. You will see laughter, hands on hearts, deep listening, friendship, presence, artists taking up space with reverence and delight.

To live like this, for the joy of it, even when it’s hard, messy, and uncertain. Even when things go tits up, and sometimes, gloriously, they also go right! Thank you to those who red-dotted words and carried fragments of this magic across the world with you.

Supporting small businesses and local artists is how creative magic grows. I’m endlessly grateful for every single one of you who showed up and said yes in your own way ❤️

For all of you out there in the digital realm, who are liking, sharing, commenting, celebrating, please receive my sincere embrace of gratitude, for this support matters to me and you being here in my community matters to me.

I will carry these moments with me as a gift and as a reminder of why this all matters:

for connection
for colour
for intimacy
for friendship
for beauty
for pleasure
for community

and above all, for joy!

🌿 Thinking about Yoga Teacher Training? 🌿

We asked our teachers WHY they took the leap into training, and their answers are as diverse as their journeys. Whether you want to deepen your personal practice, share Yoga with others, or explore something new, their stories might just inspire you.

Stay tuned as we share their experiences - because your path to teaching starts with a single step.
