“There will always be light and dark. Yin and yang. Push and pull, ebb and flow. Days of questions and days of answers. Seasons of winter and seasons of summer. Times of growth and times of rest. Moments of joy and moments of sadness… Peace is knowing that all of these things exist together, and that that is the nature of life. And peace is knowing that nothing is permanent—that a season of blooming cannot last forever but neither will a season of darkness. Peace is found not in trying to hold onto only the good times, but in embracing all times. Peace is found in accepting and embracing the nature of life.” | Nikki Warne, Soul Waves

It’s a warm week ahead. 🌞
In Yoga, we’re focusing on heart centred practices to boost our joy and vitality. In Pilates, we’re moving into week 2 of Movement Block I, progressing movement pattern skillset and volume, and adding more core.

𝑺𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝟐𝟑 marks the 𝑺𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑬𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒏𝒐𝒙, a turning point in the solar year, when the sun crosses the celestial equator and light and dark come into balance.

On 𝐊𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲/ 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬, this turning is known as 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒊: the flowering season. The land stirs with abundance and renewal, blossoms unfold, and Country breathes into the warmer months. 🌸

In Vedic wisdom, this seasonal shift can be a reminder of 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒗𝒂 — cultivating balance within ourselves as the world around us changes. And the practice of meeting change(s) with steadiness and awareness.

This equinox arrives beneath a waxing Moon moving through 𝑺́𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒂𝒏̣𝒂 into 𝑫𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒔̣𝒉𝒕𝒉𝒂̄ — nakshatras of listening, rhythm, connection and movement.

𝑺́𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒂𝒏̣𝒂, symbolised by the ear, invites us to listen for what is nourishing and what is asking for our attention. 𝑫𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒔̣𝒉𝒕𝒉𝒂̄, symbolised by the drum, reminds us that life moves in cycles — a time to gather, move, rest and begin again. 🌻

Reflection // 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒚𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔 — 𝒂 𝒉𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒕, 𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆, 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚, 𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒂𝒚?

+ In Pilates, we’re entering a New Movement Block “I”

It’s such an exciting week ahead! In Pilates, we’re into the final week of Movement Block H for my STRONG humans and gearing up for both Strong Week (14th—20th) and our 4th Birthday celebrations (19th) 🎈. Across Yoga: both yin and yang practices, we’re leaning into our Spring practices, and nourishing our Liver and Gallbladder channels. Here’s hoping for sunshine! 🌿

In Yoga this week we’re exploring Dṛṣṭi—the way we look. Not simply what we see, but how* we see. If we get curious enough, could the ‘same old’ surprise you?

In Pilates: STRONG PA, we’re heading into a New Movement Block—H. Over the next 4 weeks we’ll be progressing new movement patterns across our loaded and strength sessions. Week 1, we set the groundwork!

I heard something recently that made me reflect on Winter differently. A tree grows in two directions at once. Its roots follow gravity into the earth: positive gravitropism—while its shoots grow away from gravity and towards light: negative gravitropism and phototropism. One movement anchors, the other reaches. The roots provide stability and access to water and nutrients; the branches reach for light, allowing the tree to grow. Neither exists without the other. 🌳

Maybe we’re not so different. There are seasons for reaching out, and seasons for turning in. And sometimes, like the tree, we grow down first before reaching for light. ✨

The upcoming New Moon (Aug. 13) arrives in Leo—turning us towards the heart, towards courage, creativity, vitality, and the parts of us that want to be expressed. In Vedic Astrology, it falls in Ashlesha Nakshatra: the serpent—instinctive, perceptive, shedding what it has outgrown.

There’s something fitting in these two meeting here. We’re invited to express outwardly, but first loosening what has held us too tightly. Because we can’t move freely into what’s next while still carrying what we’ve outgrown. 🏋️‍♀️

This week in Yoga, we’ll move through this process together—unwinding what’s tightened and releasing what we no longer need. Let’s make a little more room for what comes next. In Pilates, we’re in our last week of Movement Block G for my STRONG humans, and working a new set of exercises across Mat classes.
