“I think that yoga, rather than a path leading to mastery, is an invitation to evoke mystery and channel a powerful, subtle, and ultimately unnameable energy that roams inside. A dedicated practice is like a rite of passage that guides one to sense, feel, and remember that which inevitably resists identification. I can testify that the further I travel into the inner processes of the body and mind, the more I realize I don’t know.” - Tias Little
My dear friends, regular practice starts again this week, Monday and Thursday evenings from 7-8:30. Come, let’s share in this beautiful mystery ✨

It’s been awhile….But we’re still here, sharing together, growing together, softening and discovering as we journey to the Self. A heart full of gratitude for every inch of this life.

I’ve never regretted a solo walk in the woods. Even here in this shoulder forest of Prague where you can still hear the hustle of the city around… it’s always worth it. To stand still for a moment in a ray of morning light and just notice what arises with kindness and curiosity. There is so much there, internal and external layers, simple and complex, a motionless salute to the sun, full of gratitude for another day. Be well friends. ✨

Todays practice… turn your face curiously towards the sun’s light, welcome a feeling of softing and just notice how you feel.
What a gift. Pass it on.
