*** Prana Love Yoga - Weekly Update - 18 Oct 2026 ***
Hello all
The rain in Cape Town on the weekend was so lovely. It was not heavy rain and the wind was not howling ... it was nice to step outside and feel the gentle moisture on my skin. I also like to observe how the creatures navigate the gentle rain ... coming out to play when there is a gap in the rain and then go into hiding when the rain starts again.
There was rain is predicted for this morning and therefore we had to reschedule our outdoor meditation with headphones event to next Sunday (25th of Oct). Even though cancelling an event is never nice, it feels good to know that things will continue to flow in an unforced way.
This intention of "allowing" things to flow is not always easy and I often have to remind myself that disruptions to our plans and the detours on our path, mostly prove to be fruitful in many ways.
Practicing Mindfulness has helped me be more aware of the "in the moment" experience when something does not go according to plan ... the feelings of disappointment ... the worry about the impact ... the "what now" questions. So, I try to give myself time to be with those reactions and not look for answers or solutions when I am feeling all those things. The jumping to fix things or to make it work often has an undesired outcome. Whereas, allowing the feelings to subside .. letting the body soften before trying to figure it out, is more likely to result in a useful outcome ... sometimes even better than the original plan that got derailed.
As I say ... not easy and we need to continually remind ourselves about the allowing.
And talking about allowing things to flow ... we have two new additions to the family and they are certainly teaching us about allowing. Meet Noodle and Mochi. (See images)

I want to say again, that my offerings come from a place of being called to be of service as a result of my own self-healing journey. I have a deep passion to give people a sense of hope and for them to experience kindness again, when perhaps this has been absent. I will continue for as long as possible to create spaces and practices that help people re-discover themselves and heal their wounds, so that they can invite joy back into their lives. I will always continue to offer free and donation based services. If I could, I would offer all my services for free.
I would like to reiterate that I am so very grateful for your support, kind words and generosity.
Much love and blessings
