🌕 BEAVER-SUPERMOON ✨🐾

Tonight, the full moon rises - richer, fuller and closer than any all year. This is the Beaver Moon, a supermoon that asks us to lean into the harvest of our internal landscapes: the fruits of devotion, the seeds of later beginnings, the quiet richness that emerges when we honour what has grown.

No dramatic eclipse. No rending of the old. Instead: a moon that glows with steady majesty, reminding us that bearing is sacred, that ripeness is a threshold and that abundance is always a passage, not a final destination.

As she climbs in the sky, her light reminds us that we are closer to the Earth than usual, primed for grounding, for embodied ritual, for taking stock of our inner storehouse.

✨ What have you harvested lately in body, mind, or heart?
✨ What hidden blooms of your effort are ready to be seen now?
✨ What might you gift back to the earth in gratitude, so the next cycle can begin clean?

Light a flame, pour out a libation, step outside and feel the circumference of your life expand beneath her luminous gaze. Let your thanks rise up, not as a whisper of completion, but as a vow to remain in movement - grounded, present, unfurling.

✨ Gather the glints. Honour the fullness. Then step gently toward the next becoming 🌕🐾🌿

🍂 THE VEIL OF AUTUMN - A MORNING OF YOGA, RELEASE & REMEMBRANCE 🍂

As Samhain approaches, nature reminds us that endings are not to be feared but honoured. Just as the trees surrender their leaves, we too are invited to let go, to shed what no longer serves and make space for renewal.

In The Veil of Autumn, we’ll move through a soul-nourishing morning of yoga, somatic release, restorative rest and ancestral remembrance. This is a time to soften into stillness, honour your roots and listen deeply for the wisdom that rises in the quiet.

We’ll journey with The Cailleach, the ancient Crone Goddess of Winter, she who holds the keys to transformation, rest and rebirth. Through movement, breath and guided reflection, we’ll weave connection with our lineage and restore peace within the body and spirit.

✨ Saturday 2nd November | 9.30am–1pm
🌾 £67.50 Members | £75 Non-members
📍 Soul Seeker Yoga, Inverness

Spaces are limited - full details and reserve your place here:

Come gather in this threshold between worlds… to release, to remember, and to renew.

Join us for beautiful yoga events at our stunning bespoke space in the heart of Inverness

✨ USTRASANA (Camel Pose) ✨

At SSY we often weave Ustrasana into our sequences to open the front body and invite a sense of expansion and courage. This heart-opening asana gently challenges us to lean into vulnerability, release protective armouring and invite in trust and spaciousness.

The backward-bending nature of Ustrasana stretches the entire front line of the body - the chest, abdomen, thighs, and hip flexors - while strengthening the back muscles and improving posture. As the heart lifts and the throat opens, the energy of the pose awakens Anahata (heart) and Vishuddha (throat) chakras, supporting expression, emotional release and inner connection.

Ustrasana can be both grounding and uplifting - a reminder that strength and openness coexist beautifully. It’s a powerful antidote to the forward-hunching posture so many of us fall into throughout the day, and it encourages us to meet the world with an open heart and steady foundation.

Specifically, the asana:
🌟 Opens the chest and lungs, improving respiration and energising the body
🌟 Stretches the hip flexors, quadriceps and abdominal muscles, enhancing flexibility
🌟 Strengthens the spine and back muscles, improving posture and spinal integrity
🌟 Stimulates the heart and throat chakras, fostering emotional release and clear expression
🌟 Encourages a deep sense of courage and trust as we open into the backbend
🌟 Builds balance between strength and surrender - a reminder of yoga’s heart-centered wisdom

🍂 THE VEIL OF AUTUMN🍂

As the Wheel of the Year turns and the veil between worlds grows thin, join us for a morning of yoga, somatic release, restorative rest, and ancestral remembrance.

We’ll honour Samhain - a sacred time of reflection, healing and renewal - as we move through practices designed to release stored emotions, reconnect to our lineage and rest deeply in the wisdom of the Divine Feminine through the presence of The Cailleach, the Crone Goddess of Winter.

✨ Saturday 2nd November | 9.30am–1pm
🌾 £67.50 Members | £75 Non-members

Let us gather in this threshold space - to listen, release, and reweave peace for ourselves and our ancestors

✨THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE & THOUGHTS✨ As we move deeper into Autumn’s descent, the days grow shorter and the air carries that quiet pull inward 🍁 This is the season of soft surrender, when we begin to face the darkness not as something to fear but as a space of deep listening and renewal. Like stepping into the mouth of a cave, we’re invited to pause, to feel and to trust what unfolds in the unseen 🕯🌿

Within this turning lies a quiet potency. The light may wane, yet the inner flame grows steadier, each breath a thread weaving us back to centre. As nature releases and retreats, we too are called to rest into the mystery, to gather our energy for the seeds that will dream in winter’s soil. This is the beauty of the descent: not an ending, but the beginning of deep becoming 🍂✨

Śūnya Mudra 🌌🪶

Our exploration of the mudras now brings us to Śūnya Mudra - the gesture of the void, associated with the element of ether (ākāśa) and the throat chakra (Viśuddha). Ether is the subtle space that holds all things - the vastness in which sound travels, communication unfolds, and presence deepens.

Śūnya Mudra invites us to soften into that spacious awareness, to listen, witness and receive. It teaches that true communication begins not with speaking, but with deep listening to others, to our own inner voice and to the silent intelligence of life itself.

When practiced regularly, Śūnya Mudra can:

🌟 Support clear, authentic expression
🌟 Cultivate empathy and deep listening
🌟 Soothe feelings of disconnection or homesickness
🌟 Strengthen presence and groundedness when travelling or away from familiar roots

To practice:
Find a comfortable seated position. Bring the tip of your middle finger toward the base of your thumb, then gently rest the thumb over it — the other fingers remain extended but relaxed. Rest your hands on your thighs, palms facing upward. Breathe softly and evenly, letting your awareness expand into the subtle spaces within and around you. Practice for 10–15 minutes daily or whenever you need to return to stillness and presence.

This mudra is especially supportive when you’re on the move - travelling, shifting places, or navigating transitions. It helps you stay grounded even as you move through unfamiliar territory, both inner and outer. Practice it as a way to witness fully, to listen with your whole being and to feel at home in the spaciousness of the moment 💙🙏

🌕 HARVEST SUPER MOON ✨🍂

The Harvest Moon rises tomorrow - round, golden and full of quiet majesty. She comes not with the fire of eclipse or the fierce severing of endings but with the deep hum of fulfillment. The cycle turns toward completion. What has been sown now ripens. What has been tended now offers its fruit.

This moon glows in earthy wisdom — a reminder that nourishment comes not only from what we receive, but from what we have cultivated with devotion. Under her amber light, we are invited to pause and gather: our lessons, our gratitude, our harvest.

This Full Moon in Aries carries a spark of brave renewal beneath her golden calm - a reminder that gratitude and courage can coexist, that harvest and becoming are related threads of the same cycle. She calls us to honour what has been grown, while daring to keep evolving, to live more truthfully, more fiercely alive.

🌾 What has come to fruition through your patience and persistence?
🌾 What blessings have you been too busy to notice?
🌾 What can you release back to the soil to make space for rest and renewal?

The Harvest Moon is a moon of gratitude and grounding. Light a candle, pour a libation to the Earth, and speak your thanks aloud - to the land, to your body, to the unseen forces that have guided you here.

This is a moment to honour the sacred rhythm of give and receive, to remember that every ending carries seeds for the next beginning. As the nights lengthen and the wheel turns toward stillness, may you rest in the glow of your own abundance.

✨ Gather. Give thanks. Let go.

We arrive now at the final movement of Navaratri – the last three days, where Durga’s light shines in her most refined and transcendent forms.

On the seventh day, we meet Kalaratri 🌑 the dark night, fierce and untamed, a form that strips away illusion. She is the dissolution of what is false, the one who burns away pretence, leaving only truth. Though her appearance is terrifying, her gift is freedom: when we allow what must die to die, we open to what is real.

The eighth day belongs to Mahagauri 🌙 luminous and serene. She is purity after the storm, the freshness that follows surrender, the gentle glow of the moon after the darkest night. Where Kalaratri clears, Mahagauri heals. She restores our faith in beauty, simplicity, and grace.

On the ninth day, we honor Siddhidatri 🌸 the granter of siddhis – spiritual powers and blessings. She is the culmination of the journey, the recognition that when we walk with the Goddess, gifts flow into our lives in many forms: wisdom, insight, resilience, devotion.

These last three days trace a movement we know well in our own hearts: the darkness, the cleansing, and the blessing that follows. Navaratri is not simply a festival of the Goddess – it is a mirror of our own soul’s journey, an invitation to meet all her faces within us.

As the nine nights close 🌕 perhaps pause to notice: what has been stripped away? What tenderness has been restored? What gift, subtle or radiant, has entered your life during this cycle?

The nine names of Durga remind us that Shakti 🔱 is not one thing but everything: root and flame, mother and warrior, fierce and gentle, destroyer and healer, dark and light. And in honoring her, we honor the vastness within ourselves.

25/09/2025

✨N A V A R T R I T U R N S✨...and we move now into the heart of the nine nights. Days four to six are a rising arc, each one lifting us closer to the radiance of Durga 🔱.

On the fourth day, we meet Kushmanda, the goddess who is said to have created the universe with the mere flicker of her smile. She is the warmth of the cosmic womb, the spark that births galaxies, the reminder that creation itself arises from joy.

The fifth day belongs to Skandamata , mother of Skanda, the warrior-god. She embodies fierce maternal strength: the lioness who protects her young, the guardian of innocence. In her, we find the courage to stand for what we love, to nurture fiercely, and to recognize the power of love itself as a weapon against despair.

On the sixth day, we honor Katyayani 🔥, born of the anger of the gods, a flame forged into a warrior. She is the slayer of demons, carrying the power of righteous indignation, the heat of transformation. Katyayani reminds us that anger, when purified and directed, becomes a force for liberation – not destruction for its own sake, but clearing the path so truth can shine through.

Together, these three goddesses form a rhythm: creation, protection, and righteous battle. They remind us that Shakti is not passive – she is the movement of life itself, ever-generative, ever-defending, ever-transforming.

As we step into this middle cycle of Navaratri, perhaps we might ask: what are we creating? What is ours to fiercely protect? And where might we need to wield our inner sword of clarity, cutting away what no longer serves? 🌙
