Grace doesn’t always arrive as sunshine… sometimes it comes as rain — wave after wave, tsunami after tsunami… and then, somehow, the calm.

I’m in that place now — a sacred pause, a quiet emergence from all that’s been washed away.

Next stop: India 🇮🇳

A new chapter awaits and I can’t wait to turn the page.
(visa gods willing 🙏🏽)

🌿
I’m remembering my Irish ancestors
and the land that birthed the festival of Samhain —
the root of what we now call Halloween 🎃
⠀
They lived in deep rhythm with the earth,
and marked this time with ceremony, care, and faith — not fear.
⠀
They carved turnips to light the way (not scary pumpkins),
honoured the dead,
and welcomed the stillness of winter with gratitude.
⠀
As the veil grows thin,
this is a sacred time to remember those who came before us,
to feel them near,
to honour their spirit,
and to offer our gratitude.
⠀
🕯
Tonight, I light a candle in their honour —
grateful for their wisdom,
their magic,
their humour,
their songs,
and that wild, enduring Celtic spirit (like my wild Irish hair!).
⠀
In some Irish homes,
bread or cake was left out for the ancestors between now and All Souls’ Night on November 2nd —
and by morning, it would be gone ✨
⠀
💫
Let’s leave behind the vibration of fear, skeletons, and ghouls.
Let’s celebrate love instead.
⠀
Let LOVE light the veil between worlds ❤️✨❤️✨💫✨💫✨💫✨💫✨💫✨💫✨💫✨💫

What if REST wasn't about doing nothing? 🌅

What if rest is actually alive? ✨

Real rest is a conscious change of groove.

It's your eyes drinking in a sunset instead of a screen 🌴
Your body moving with joy instead of obligation 🧘‍♀️
Your mind resting instead of churning through to-do lists

It's being anointed with warm herbal oils in ancient Ayurvedic ritual 💆‍♀️
Your mind slowing down enough for those precious aha moments to arrive naturally 💫
Restoring balance on ALL layers—mind, body, spirit in harmony ☯️

This kind of rest LASTS. Not just days or weeks, but months.

Because you're not recovering—you're RESETTING 🙏

🪔 FIRE — Diwali Reflection

🪔 Diwali reminds me that even the hardest year
can become its own festival of light. 💫

🔥 Sometimes the fires that test us
are the very ones that reveal our strength. ✨

I’ve walked through fire this past year —
one of the hardest of my life.

There are moments when everything changes in an instant,
when you find yourself standing naked on the edge,
unsure if you’ll make it through.

The only thing that carried me
was the inner flame that’s been quietly burning all along —
faith, practice, and a strength built over years
of showing up to life.

I had to draw on everything I’ve embodied,
not just through thirty years of yoga sādhanā
and devotional practices,
but through every experience that’s shaped me —
especially through dark and difficult times.

Every breath, every prayer, every lesson in trust
became the ground beneath my feet.

The beauty of fire is that it transforms.
It burns away the layers we’ve outgrown —
the shell that’s become too tight
for the spirit to breathe.

Sometimes the fire burns for a long time —
it’s not easy,
but looking back, we see we were being refined
in ways we couldn’t yet understand.

When the fire finally settles,
I can’t claim purity —
only that something deep inside is changing.
I’m not who I was a year ago.

It’s been the hardest year of my life,
yet somewhere beneath it all,
something beautiful has quietly taken root.

Grace, I’ve learned, comes in many forms.
When life feels out of our control,
all we truly have is
trust, faith, and surrender.

🪔
Wishing everyone a very Happy Diwali
filled with shining light to guide you, ✨💫✨
quiet strength,
and faith that carries you through the dark and difficult times.

💫✨💫 The light always returns —
sometimes even brighter than before. 💫✨💫

✨ Radiant Health is True Wealth ✨

Dhanteras is a day to honour Lord Dhanvantari, the celestial physician and incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who brought Ayurveda — the timeless wisdom of natural healing — into the world.

Ayurveda teaches that true health is harmony between body, mind, spirit, and nature. 🌿

Over the past 25 years, I’ve received many Ayurvedic treatments — from soothing oil massages to deeply restorative therapies — and I’ve seen again and again how this natural system restores balance and vitality. It’s gentle, profound, and it truly works. ✨

In Kerala, the lush birthplace of Ayurvedic wisdom, nature herself becomes the medicine — healing herbs, warm oils, nourishing food, sunlight, and rest all working together to rejuvenate body and mind. ☀️

From 29th January to 8th February 2026, we’ll journey to Kerala for our Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat — a time to slow down and reconnect through:
🪔 Daily Ayurvedic massages and treatments
🧘‍♀️ Nourishing yoga practice and meditation
🎶 Mantra and kirtan
🔥 Havan (fire ceremony) and peaceful time to simply be

Whether your afternoons are spent swinging in a hammock, dipping in the pool, or exploring nearby beaches and villages, there’s time and space just for you — to rest, reflect, and soak in the healing energy all around. 💛

It’s a journey of transformation that stays with you long after you return home. Link in bio or DM

✨ Wishing everyone vibrant health, harmony, and happiness this Dhanteras and always. ✨

I can’t remember the last time I went on a holiday holiday ☀️
Most of my travels are for retreats, trainings, or deepening my own sadhana… I’d almost forgotten what it feels like to go away with no purpose except to rest and enjoy.
Feeling so grateful for these slow days and precious time with my divine mother 💛

Something happens every time I go to India — like I’m being recalibrated. My soul exhales, and a deep sense of home lands in me.

There’s a warmth, a freedom of spirit, and a quiet wisdom in the people and the land that feels so familiar — as if, amidst the noise and chaos, life itself slows down and realigns from the inside out.

If you’ve been feeling the call to pause, to breathe, to rejuvenate, and to reconnect with yourself in a deeper way, join us in Kerala this January.

Let India work her quiet magic on you too — the kind that nourishes your heart and reminds you who you really are. 🌿
