New You

January's clock strikes midnight, numbers sing,
Numerologists dance in the new year's ring.
A vibration shifts, the calendar's cheer
"Happy fresh start!" they shout loud and clear.

But wait for the moon in February's glow,
When dragons awake and red lanterns flow.
The Lunar New Year ignites fortune's fire,
A crimson rebirth, lifting spirits higher.

Then March brings the equinox, balance precise,
Earth tilts toward spring, day equals the night.
Solar astrologers mark the true dawn,
Where seasons align and the old year is gone.

Some choose their own gates ,
birthday or vow,
A solstice, a loss, or a promise right now.
No single door rules, no one clock commands;
Each threshold is yours, held in your own hands.

Yet all voices whisper the very same plea;
Will you echo the past, or set a new key?
Repeat last year's rhythm, the same worn-out rhyme?
Or co-create verses in bold, brand-new time?

Don't wait for the chimes or the fireworks' blaze.
The page is wide open—write in your own ways.
Not "Happy New Year" with its tired old hue...

Happy New You.
Rise up.
Begin anew.

Winter Solstice Light

On this longest night, we gather near,
Hearts aglow with love and cheer.
The darkness deep, the stars shine bright,
Promising dawn’s returning light.

May warmth embrace you, near and far,
As days grow longer, star by star.
Happy Solstice,
Renew and Rejoice!

🌙 ✨ Open the Thousand-Petaled Lotus ✨ 🌙
A gentle, restorative journey to the Crown Chakra | Gwens Yoga

Float into the boundless realm of Sahasrara, where earthly weight dissolves and pure cosmic light pours in. This deeply nourishing practice invites you to release, receive, and remember your divine connection to All That Is.

We begin softly, cradled by the earth:
- Legs-Up-The-Wall with a bolster, letting gravity drain tension and open the energetic gateway at the crown
- Supine twists wrapped in sweetness, wringing out the subtle body
- A tender dance with the yoga strap (or your favorite scarf turned lasso) to effortlessly deepen surrender

As the body melts, the breath becomes our bridge to the heavens. We close in sacred stillness with Nadi Shodhana (alternate-nostril breathing) to balance the ida and pingala currents, followed by the luminous sanctuary of Yoga Nidra beneath the inner sky.

Perfect for evening unwind, spiritual replenishment, or whenever you long to touch the stars from your mat.

Props lovingly welcomed (but always optional):
✨ Bolster (or firm pillow)
✨ Yoga strap (or scarf, tie, or belt)
✨ Blanket for extra coziness
✨ An open heart

Come exactly as you are. The universe is already bowing to you.

With infinite love & starlight,

✨ Third Eye Awakening Flow | Ajna Chakra Activation ✨👁️

We begin in the womb of Child’s Pose,
soft forehead kissing earth,
side-body melting open like midnight wings,
breathing into the hidden cave where vision sleeps.

Rise gently,
legs wide as ancient horizons,
forward fold unfurls,
spine spirals in sacred twists,
wringing out the fog,
making space for the indigo flame.

Then we surrender.
Shoelace pose coils the hips,
a tender twist wrings the heart open,
truth drips down the third eye’s silver thread.

Finally, Butterfly wings,
somatic and still,
knees soft as moonlit petals,
subtle pulses rocking the inner sea,
Ajna blooms,
a thousand-petaled lotus of pure seeing.

Every breath is a key.
Every shape, an invitation.
Come rest your gaze inward,
the unseen is ready to be known.

Drop into this slow, luminous journey
and let the Sixth Chakra awaken within you.
Your inner sight is calling.
Will you answer?

💙👁️ Like if your Third Eye fluttered during this practice

🌙 New Heart Chakra Flow just dropped ~ a little love letter to your tender, wild heart 💚

Unfurl into low lunges that bow to what’s ready to be released
Twist like you’re wringing sunlight out of every old story
Balance on one leg, roots sinking, wings remembering they were always there
And finally melt into yin ~ cat pulling its tail, curling into the softest yes you’ve ever given yourself

This one feels like laughter wrapped in rose petals.
Like forgiveness that tastes like honey.
Like coming home to the heart you thought you’d lost.
Move
Breath
Open
~ come play in the garden of your own heart centre 💞

May this flow open a thousand hearts (starting with yours) 🌸✨

Too close to the fires,
compassion and empathy
flare white-hot, searing
the marrow of my heart.

Compassion fatigue,
a slow ash settling in lungs.
Vicarious wounds
bleed through the skin of strangers.

Secondary stress
echoes like distant thunder
in the hollow of my ribs.
Moral injury;
a fracture no cast can mend.

Burnout,
the wick of me
gutted in its own smoke.

Yet the work is a lantern
swung into the dark,
draining and fulfilling
in the same breath.

Reserves run low,
but I keep the door cracked,
heart-forward, awakened
watching discord devour the world.

I teach hope to the hopeless
while battles rage unnamed.
Every day a skirmish
with shadows we can’t quite see.

So I breathe.
Keep the heart open,
mind fixed on the good.

Lend a hand.
Pet the dog.
Savor the small mercies.
Give Hugs.
Share your laughter.

Do the best with what you’ve got,
one kind act, one loving word,
one compassionate spark
is enough.

Let go the things you cannot steer.
Tip the balance toward kindness.
It matters.

The fire may lick too near,
but a single steady flame
can light the way home.
Take good care of that steady flame.

Layers of Growth

If it never feels hard, growth won’t show.
Effort, just right, bids your system to grow.
Not punishment, not exhaustion’s toll,
But challenge, the spark, to awaken the soul.

Go faster, go slower, make it bigger, add more,
Heavier loads or a twist to explore.
Yet complexity’s dance is the mind’s open door,
Engaging coordination, attention, and core.

A step meets a reach, a squat finds a twist,
An arm’s gentle spiral pairs with heel’s lift.
Combine what’s familiar, then shift, then reverse,
Feel simple turn vivid, as progress immerses.

Hard isn’t cruel—it’s the signal to learn,
A map for adaptation, where growth’s fire burns.
Life pulses in movement, in challenge’s embrace,
Movement is life—complexity’s grace.

Join us for a grounding practice designed to balance and strengthen your First (Root) Chakra, fostering a deep sense of stability and connection to the earth...
