With 25 years of dedicated yoga and meditation practice, including five years as a renunciant monk, my focus is exploring the scientific and spiritual dimensions of breathwork and meditation in my comprehensive teacher training program the Still Point.

One week ago, I returned from the Rooted in Presence Silent Retreat Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Mass, the final engagement on my US tour. 🕊️

A weeklong retreat, 6 days in silence after 2 months of teaching, and I feel called to share some of my insights. (Though retreats are a gift that keep on resonating in the heart and mind. 🌱)

1. My mind is full of sh*t. 💭 The longer I sat noticing my breath, the louder the thoughts and more elaborate the fantasies, and more engaging. But an important perspective emerged: thoughts appear to be real, but that doesn’t make them true. Fantasy almost never plays out in reality, for instance. With that insight, I could decide whether to indulge the fantasy or stay with the present moment. An empowering choice. Shoutout to daren thomas magee for the caption inspiration. ✨

2. Happiness ≠ Peace ⚖️ Throughout the retreat, I felt happy and bright, but my mind was clearly not at peace, bouncing back and forth between silence and chatter. The Metta chant goes: may you be happy AND peaceful AND free from suffering (a loose translation that’s adaptable). The distinction between peace and happiness became more noticeable the more I sat. But Metta invites the possibility of having it all! And of course, as we know, it’s on the inside. 🪷

3. May Metta (Loving-Kindness) Arise 🤲 This phrase was given to me by one of the dharma teachers when I expressed that my mind felt like it was attacking me. The invitation: instead of fighting it, notice it, and when there’s space, offer a blessing. May Metta (Loving-Kindness) Arise. And so it was. And may it be of service to you too. Big thanks to Devin Berry 🙏

4. Community Is a Refuge 🫶 Every day we honored the three refuges: Buddha (the teacher), Dhamma (the teachings), and Sangha, the community that sustains the continuation of the teachings, not just through verbal expression but through action and attitude. Every day, we also offered loving-kindness to ourselves and each other, a shared mission, a shared effort, in solidarity and support of the golden silence that leads to peace, happiness, and freedom from suffering. With patience, with reverence, with care, all in perfect time. The next B

✨ There’s something surreal about returning to your birthplace.

Delighted by the walk down memory lane and the reflection of all that has passed from the past to the now. From the concrete jungle to the jungle paradise I now call home... what a spiral it has been. 🌿

So blessed to be able to offer meditation & breathwork gatherings, sharing peaceful practices in a place that never seems to stop asking for attention. 🧘🏽‍♀️💛

I see the many versions of myself that once walked these streets, each one becoming the person I am today. And I am grateful for it all. 🙏🏼

To come full circle and share these practices with my community on Communipaw Ave in Jersey City, Soul Therapy Studios . 🏙️✨

This ‘hood is the birthplace of my parents, so it’s a blessing to plant seeds of peace, love, and presence in this return to my roots. 🌱💚

Deep Bows of Gratitude to all who support this journey and walk this path with me. 🙇🏽‍♀️ If you want to come along, just reach out! 💖

With Love,
Vajra

Landed in Austin and was so happy to walk into the studio and see this beautiful poster waiting for me. 🥹✨

Next up: Brooklyn and New Jersey, I’m coming home! Breathwork Maha Rose and Reforesters Laboratory and the final Still Point offering, a weekend retreat Soul Therapy Studios in Jersey City

This little tour has been such a blessing. It just keeps bringing gifts, connections, and reminders that when we move with intention, life has a beautiful way of meeting us there. 🙏🏼

Sharing these practices and my story has reaffirmed my path in ways I didn’t expect. One of my deepest prayers has always been that my life be fully integrated with my mission and purpose… and this journey keeps inviting me to live that even more deeply. Practice what I preach. Every single day. 🌿

Thank you to every studio, teacher, and community that has welcomed me so generously. My heart is so full. 💖

Austin this week… then New York, Nicaragua, and Europe…and beyond ✈️✨

One step at a time. Aligned with the Divine. 🤍

We know we should practice meditation and breathwork... but why?

There are myriad sages and now myriad scientific studies pointing to the same conclusion: meditation and breathwork can profoundly affect and improve your life. Nervous system regulation may be the starting point, but the potential for transformation extends far beyond that.

If you’re interested in learning more about what to practice, when to practice, and why, exploring the science behind the effects or the spiritual principles behind the techniques, I have resources for you!

The Still Point is my online meditation and breathwork teacher training, as well as a series of workshops and retreats offered around the world.

✨ DM me or visit the link in my bio.

Much Love. Many Blessings. 🙏

This summer, I’m bringing the practice to you. ✨🌿

As part of a dream coming true 💖 I’ll be collaborating with studios across the US to offer my Meditation & Breathwork program in person: Miami , Missoula and , and Austin and are confirmed!

NYC dates at and .io are coming soon, and a few more cities may still join along the way. If you have ideas for spaces or community gatherings, lets dream it into reality!
🌎🧚🏾‍♀️

The Still Point is for yoga, meditation, and breathwork students and teachers who want to go deeper into understanding their nervous system, their breath, and the practices that actually change how you move through daily life. 🧘🏾‍♀️🪷

DM me or connect with the studios directly for registration. 🙏🏾

✨ The beginning of the year brings resolutions. 🌱

If deepening your practice is one of them (yoga, meditation, breathwork, or anything worth doing for you), but you're not sure where to start… 💭

Try these 3 simple steps:
* Start small: even one conscious breath counts 🌬️
* Be consistent: it’s about how often, not how long ⏳
* Stay accountable: to yourself most of all, but find a friend or teacher along the way 🤍

✨ Make a change. Then make it doable. Make it daily.

If you want help finding a practice that fits your life, book a 1:1 call with me. ✨
