End-of-year reflection - part 1

20/11/2025

Life can be seen as a theatre piece.

We move through the roles and stories of our lives, through all the moments that change and move.

Yet underneath it all there is something steady,
a quiet presence that simply observes.

When we touch that space within, even for a moment, something softens.
We remember that we are not the role we play,
but the awareness behind it,
our own pure essence.

Can you sense that gentle observer within yourself?

If you’re new to yoga and not sure where to begin, pause for a moment.

Put aside what you’re doing,
close your eyes if it feels comfortable,
and simply notice your breath.

Feel the air moving in and out of your body,
the gentle rise and fall,
the natural rhythm that’s always there,
guiding you back to the present moment.

In the ancient teachings, this is where yoga begins.
Not in a pose, but in awareness.
Each breath is a quiet reminder
of the life flowing through you.

In yoga, the practice is not about the body, but about what awakens through it, when stillness allows awareness to speak.

In many teacher trainings, if not almost all of them, anatomy takes a big place in the learning process.
Yet the ancient teachings remind us that the body was never the main focus.
It was a means to explore awareness and return to what is already present within.

The body allows the experience, but awareness holds the understanding.

// pause. notice. act consciously.

Nowadays, when something unpleasant happens, we often give it a name such as karma, trauma, or fate. While these forces are real, they’re often misunderstood. Many people say they don’t want to be victims, yet they keep identifying with their pain or story.

Yoga invites a different way of seeing, one that recognises karma not as punishment but as energy in motion. Every thought, word, and action carries momentum, and through awareness we can redirect it.

When we meet our experiences consciously, we stop feeding the same patterns and begin to act from clarity rather than reaction. This is how real transformation begins.

Meditation is not separate from yoga. It is the natural unfolding of yoga as awareness turns inward and rests in itself.

// healing often begins in silence, in the presence of what we truly are

Sometimes healing begins when we simply pause.

When we stop rushing, breathe a little deeper,
and notice what’s really happening inside.

In that quiet space of conscious awareness,
the body remembers how to relax.
The heart opens, and balance slowly returns.

(a moment from a recent session)

Each session is a reminder that peace was never gone, only waiting to be felt again.

The essence of āsana.

At the heart of Yoga, Patañjali describes āsana as sthira sukham āsanam, a steady and comfortable seat.

In Yin Yoga, I often return to this simple truth.

Each posture invites steadiness and ease, not through effort but through presence. We settle, we soften, and something within us begins to rest.

It is less about how the pose looks and more about how it feels to be there, supported, grounded, aware.

In this stillness, the body becomes a seat for awareness, and the breath quietly guides us home.

Yin Yoga isn’t only about meridians or energy lines. It is a path back to the heart of Yoga itself: stillness and awareness.
When we sit in stillness, we meet Yoga as it was meant to be, a practice of presence, simplicity, and peace.
Through Yin Yoga, we return to Śānti, the quiet centre of being where awareness unfolds naturally.

Back to the Breath - A 4 Part Series

Two weeks ago I shared how many of us have forgotten how to breathe.
Now I am happy to share what is coming next.

Back to the Breath is a four part Saturday morning series to gently (re)learn the art of breathing, slowly, fully and with awareness.

Across the weeks we will explore traditional yogic breathing practices that bring calm, balance and presence into daily life.

More information will soon be available on the website.

A sound repeated
a word returning
again and again
until it opens
into stillness
into peace
