The Yoga Sanctuary

A poem Caroline Myss took from a Priest:

“God in my feet and in my walking
God in my toes and in my balancing
God in my calves and in my holding
God in my knees and in my bending
God in my thighs and in my strength
God in my hips and in my swivelling
God in my belly and in my digesting
God in my lungs and in my breathing
God in my liver and in my detoxing
God in my heart and in my beating
God in my arms and in my holding
God in my hands and in my creating
God in my throat and in my communicating
God in my lips and in my smiling
God in my tongue and in my speaking
God in my teeth and in my chewing
God in my nose and in my smelling
God in my eyes and in my seeing
Got in my ears and in my hearing
God in my brain and in my thinking
God in my mind and in my understanding
God in my Soul and in my knowing”

“We give thanks for places of simplicity and peace.
Let us find such a place within ourselves.

We give thanks for places of refuge and beauty.
Let us find such a place within ourselves.

We give thanks for places of nature’s truth and freedom.
Of joy, inspiration and renewal; places where all creatures may find acceptance and belonging.

Let us search for these places: in the world, in ourselves and in others.
Let us restore them.
Let us strengthen and protect them, and let us create them.

May we mend this outer world according to the truth of our inner life,
and may our souls be shaped and
nourished by nature’s eternal wisdom.”

Michael Leunig

“Gentleness is stronger than severity, water is stronger than rock, love is stronger than force.”

Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

This makes us soooo happy!
We have invested in high quality props, recently changing the color to our foams and eye pillows. 🤍
We also have sandbags now to find extra deliciousness in practice.
New mats.
Velvet covered bolsters for extra yumminess.
Blankets for extra support and most importantly warmth in winters savansana’s.
Blocks and straps too.

We love our sanctuary and her constant blessings.

THE PEACE OF WILD

“When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound, in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For the time I rest in the grace of the world, and I am free.”

Wendell Berry

New week tapping into the energy of the Blue Moon this evening. Let’s make this week a series of small miracles… ✨✨✨

BREATHE

“Breathe and understand that you are alive.
Breathe and understand that everything is helping you.
Breathe and understand that you are the world.
Breathe in compassion and breathe out joy.
Breathe and be one with the air that you breathe.
Breathe and be one with the flowing river.
Breathe and be one with the land you walk on,
Breathe and be one with the fire that shines.
Breathe and discard the idea of birth and death.
Breathe and you will see that impermanence is life.
Breathe for your joy of being stable and serene.
Breathe as your pain flows.
Breathe to renew all the cells of the blood.
Breathe to renew the depths of consciousness.
Breathe and live in the here and now.
Breathe and everything you touch will be true and real.”
Thich Nhat Hanh.

A beautiful new week ahead as we move in winter proper 🤍✨

As the season changes we have been quietly working behind the scenes to improve our offerings, both in our own individual teaching but also moving beautiful energy into our sanctuary. Join us for a deeply transformative learning experience.

Much love
🤍✨🤍✨

Join us for the last few weeks of Autumn… or is it winter 🥶!
Regardless, it’s a beautiful time of year to practice.
