At Ahimsa Yoga HQ (😂), we often try to remind each other to get excited by the little things, to feel blessed by the small miracles we otherwise rush past, to seek the meaning and the wisdom in the slow time of noticing and appreciating. These beautiful bubbles are blooming by our courtyard door, and I often enjoy looking at Dan crouching down to witness the slow growth unfolding before leaving the house.

Sometimes meditation or prayer, or whatever we chose to call it, is made out of tomatoes, or grasshoppers, moths or leaves. Morning meditations, silently crouching at 'the tomato alter' in the sunshine were:

A remembering of some of the wise words of mother (both mother earth and mother mother) who remind me that "where flowers bloom there is hope .... the opposite of hope is no hope, and that is a very, very dark place". Our tomatoes are blooming, especially in the light, that always, always gives me hope. .

That watering and caring for these tomatoes, that wilt and droop with neglect, is a delightful metaphor for self growth. By feeding ourselves what we need, however busy we are, whether movement, silence, sound, challenge, gentleness, laughter, tears, food, poetry, friendship, aloneness (ie all-one-ness), we grow. Without that, we wilt. So simple, yet so easy to neglect...

A remembering of Mary Oliver's words: "Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it"... because "attention is the beginning of devotion", and I want to love the world by attending to her.

Hence the tomato-based meanderings..

On another, but infinitely related note: YinYang Flow with Dan and I is tomorrow evening: 6 - 7:30pm at . Come forth, feed yourself what you need for hope, growth and astonishment..two teachers, double the love...double the meanderings...

Tomorrow! At we are teaching 'flow to stillness' at 13:10 - 14:40... it'll be a magical mix up of all the medicines of yoga, from a powerful vinyasa flow, to yin, to yoga nidra... all the while bathed in the vibrations of the sacred Gongs.

Come forth and feel!

A message on the separation/apartheid wall in Palestine...

Want to hear all about how this message, written on the ugliness of division and separation, is inherently linked to yoga as a practice for peace? (Especially pertinent as Trump so unfortunately is on UK soil today)...

Want to hear all about how you can learn active principles of Ahimsa Yoga, peace, love and liberation?

Want to practice this? See and feel the raw truth of this message?

Find out more about our upcoming retreat in Palestine, the story, rationale and love behind it all tomorrow at 11am at our talk in the talk zone at hosted by (of which the wonderful Space Yoga Studio is a sponser...).

Because. Love. Wins.

"I Worried: Mary Oliver

I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers
flow in the right direction, will the earth turn
as it was taught, and if not how shall
I correct it?

Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven,
can I do better?

Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows
can do it and I am, well,
hopeless.

Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it,
am I going to get rheumatism,
lockjaw, dementia?

Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing.
And gave it up. And took my old body
and went out into the morning,
and sang."

We all worry. We all know what anxiety feels like. Worry often arises out of a sense of wanting to control our circumstances. Our ego wants to grapple, twist and bend the wonder of the world, the messy magic of this life, into a neat, understandable box. Our ego wants the colours of being to remain fixed firmly between self imposed lines.

When we worry less about the edges and shift our perspective to the source, focus less on the lines and witness instead the full colour spectrum, we feel and realise the depth and the glorious intensity of living fully, in every moment of every experience that life offers to each of us. When we put the ego into the back seat, and allow our heart to take the lead, we realise 'all that matters is how we love', and worry dissolves.

Give it a go, and trust the process.

Tonight: YinYang Flow with Dan and I () at : 6 - 7:30pm .
Take your body to the seaside and flow!
