We all have blind spots.

In our bodies, they might be the places we habitually grip, the way we always shift weight into one foot, or a movement pattern we’ve repeated so often we no longer notice it.

And in life, we can have them too.

The things we keep doing because they’re familiar. The patterns we can’t quite see because we’re standing right inside them.

The beautiful thing about awareness is that it creates choice.

Once we notice a pattern, we don’t have to judge it, fix it or force it to change.

We can simply see it.

And then, perhaps, choose a different street.

This week in Hatha, we’ll explore blind spots, proprioception and the patterns we carry in our bodies — using the practice to become a little more curious about what we might not normally notice.

Because sometimes, we can’t change what we can’t see.

Swipe through for a beautiful little poem by Portia Nelson that captures this journey perfectly. 🌿

Holy crap. You guys are AMAZING. 🤯❤️

We knew our fourth annual Community Lunch fundraiser was going to be special…

But THIS?!

We are honestly a little bit blown away.

We’re still waiting on the final tally, but so far our community has raised more than $13,000 this year alone for the primary schools in Jaipur.

THIRTEEN. THOUSAND. DOLLARS.

And when we put that number into perspective, it gets even more incredible…

In the three years prior, our community raised around $10,000 in total.

So this year, in just one fundraiser, you have already raised more than we did across the previous three years combined.

🤯🤯🤯

The $13,000+ includes:

✨ Almost $900 raised through our PJ Nidra fundraiser event with Kim & Brooke
✨ Together with our Community Lunch and raffle ticket sales = $8,200
✨ PLUS an incredibly generous $5,000 donation from an anonymous local business couple

We genuinely cannot thank you enough.

And the thing is, it’s not just the money.

It’s the people who cooked.
The people who served.
The people who donated prizes.
The people who bought raffle tickets.
The people who made donations.
The people who helped behind the scenes.
The people who came along to lunch.
The people who shared the fundraiser with their friends.

This is what happens when a community comes together.

And we feel so incredibly lucky to be part of one that does.

We’re keeping donations open until 5 September

If you couldn’t make it to the lunch but would still love to contribute, donations will remain open until 5 September here:

Every dollar will help support the primary schools in Jaipur - and this year, thanks to YOU, we’ll be able to support even more schools.

Honestly…

What a bloody amazing community we have. ❤️

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

✨ TOMORROW AT 4:30PM ✨

Must be doing something right! ✨

These are just some of the beautiful words shared by our students and teachers this past week, after our powerful Winter Reset…

Honestly, your words mean more than you know. 🥹💛

Behind every class, event, playlist and little detail is a whole lot of heart — and moments like these remind us why we do what we do.

To create a space where you can slow down, reconnect, grow, feel supported and simply come home to yourself.

I’m genuinely pinching myself that I get to share what lights me up, create community and live my dharma through work I love. 🥹

And I’m so proud of what we’re creating together.

If you love our studio and have felt something special here, we’d absolutely love for you to share a few words on Google or Facebook. 🌿

Your reviews help a small local studio grow — and they might be the little nudge that helps someone else find their way through our doors.

Thank you for being here. For showing up. For trusting us. And for making this community what it is. 💕
