🙌 Hands up if you are OVER all the marketing, advertising, emails and texts about BLACK FRIDAY sales!

Let this be your reminder that contentment ~ santosha ~ does NOT come from having more stuff…

Instead of things and material objects, can you lean into experiences and feelings?!

💭 These are my thoughts this Thursday 🗣️

WE ARE GOING (BACK) TO SRI LANKA! And It’s going to be even BETTER!

I’m returning in 2026 for another magical week to retreat from 26 September to 3 October 2026. The first night is spent in the capital - Colombo - then we’ll enjoy 6 nights & 7 days in a beautiful bubble amongst the mountains of central Sri Lanka 🌴

This is your chance to return to you - enjoy daily asana & meditation practices, incredible food, warm hospitality, lake and mountain views, take local walks, hike mountain tops, visit ancient caves and temples plus a Sri Lankan cooking class! Oh and there’s an incredible Ayurvedic masseuse too!

I’ve allowed lots of time to just be - soak up the serenity as you relax by the pool, hang in a hammock or lounge in the reading room with a book - because this is the beauty of being on retreat: nothingness!

Yoga Shala ~
Getting to practice yoga in a purpose built Shala amongst the sounds of birds singing, bees and dragonflies buzzing, the soft sway of the lush green trees and the occasional moooooo from somewhere in the distance.

Asana practices on retreat are designed to be slow, and nurturing with lots of time for stillness so that you can drop in and enjoy being in these beautiful surrounds.

Learning requires us to let go of what we thought we knew; unlearning to make space for the new.

What a gift to spend today immersed in subtle self awareness and the energy of our incredible bodies 💫

Hello + Hi 👋
I’m Sara (without the H)

I’m the one chosing which squares to share here and the founder of and Principal Teacher at Bloom since 2010 - so whether you’ve been here for a while or have just found me (us!) you are WELCOME 🙏

So, I recently returned from 3 incredible weeks teaching, travelling, exploring and retreating in Sri Lanka and India 🛕🧘‍♀️🌴🥾🥘 (you might have seen the posts 🥸)

I’ve come back feeling invigorated and inspired for all things yoga! Time is such a gift ~ particularly as women and mothers, as well as the connections made with likeminded souls. It sounds cheesy and cliche but when women join together ~ magic really does happen! 💫

So now that I’m BACK, I thought this was a perfect way to reconnect with this online community and let you know about what’s happening in this space.

Having been here for a while, I’ve grown and evolved over time not just in my practice but in my business and teaching too!

Like everything in life, things here have ebbed and flowed; they have expanded and then contracted. I’m super proud of where I am right now, and it’s for this reason I feel ready to step back into training teachers, my yoga teacher training has evolved to become THE FEMININE IN FLOW ~ given that I have spent 16 years holding space for women in different seasons of their lives, it feels authentic to offer my trainings from this perspective! I’ll be holding small groups for YTT alongside workshops and professional development for students and teachers to step beyond the container of a class!!!

And then there’s RETREATS - having received so much myself, I want to creating experiences for exploration, receivership, connection and cup-filling that takes us away from our everyday ~ so that we can step back in feeling refreshed and reawakened 🫶

And if you made it this far ~ thank you 🙏
I’m SO happy you’re here and can’t wait to share time and space with you. 🥰

Look…no one actually LIKES plank (or do they?🤔)

But if you HAVE to do it you might as well do it WELL! Right!?

This morning’s Vinyasa flow was themed around Vrksasana, however I chose to weave a little plank tutorial into our flow. A post that is practiced often, but the nuances are rarely taught!

There’s a POWER that comes from a good Plank ~
Not only does it build a strong foundation , it’s helps to facilitate smoother transitions and develop the strength required to progress into arm balances + chaturanga…or just to feel STRONG in your body!

Through depletion, be it mentally, physically or emotionally we eat into the body’s storehouse and exhaust our vital life force: prana.

Throughout this series we’ll explore floor based flows, pranayama, restorative yoga and yoga Nidra leaning into the support of props.

Are you ready to embrace rest?

I’m SO excited to be offering these Wednesday evening classes once again!

This full circle experience at the Golden Temple ~ 20 years in the making ~ was the perfect way to finish what has been an incredible 3️⃣ weeks to retreat, restore and reconnect to being.

Time spent here is gives you a swift kick up the arse but always feels nourishing. I’ve connected with unique and inspiring women, and am heading home feeling content, grounded, inspired and SO excited to see my family!!! 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🐾

Thank you to the Bloom retreat crew for your time, attention and willingness to explore Sri Lanka 🙏 for coming on this yoga adventure 👯‍♀️ and Lara .au for your heart, wisdom and generosity. 🎹🧘‍♀️🎵

I’ll share more over the coming weeks as I slowly find my groove 🌙
