Ever heard of Seva?

At the ashram we did
everything together.
Everyone chipped in, everyone pulled their weight. No hierarchy, just showing up.

Seva basically means selfless service.

Yoga doesn’t stop when the mat rolls up. It’s not just breathwork, poses, or meditation. We were taught that the awareness you build through Kundalini Yoga really comes alive when you use it in service of others.

Seva is giving without expecting anything back. No praise, no thank yous, no gold star ⭐️
(Which honestly takes practice… because let’s be honest, we do like a bit of appreciation — especially in relationships and with chores!)

The belief is that seva raises the consciousness of both the person giving and the person receiving.

You’ll hear yogis talk about Karma Yoga — contributing to the collective by doing what needs to be done. Cleaning shared spaces, cooking for others, helping out simply because it helps everyone. I wish the world ran this way! It really feels beautiful.

And seva doesn’t have to be big or dramatic. It can be listening to someone who’s having a hard day, making tea, or kindly clearing up after someone else. (That’s me every day then! Being mum!)

The heart of seva is simple:
Energy beyond the self.
Giving without needing anything in return — not even acknowledgment.

What a lovely time of year to think about doing things for others. 🤗

This part of yoga has been a game changer for me. Learning the space and pause for considered response rather than emotional reaction helps me to stay peaceful and healthy. It also benefits the people around us as they have to live with us 😉

Yoga develops your awareness, fine tunes your choices and asks you to see and unlearn learned behaviours and patterns.

Already, you’re telling me that this is working, and once again I feel inspired by the students I teach and their commitment to fine-tuning their mind and body.
In class, we’ve been exploring Chapter 6 of the Gita—
how to truly weave this practice into every action, every reaction, every thought, and every word we speak.

This practice asks for a daily something. Start with anything: a few mindful moments, conscious breathing, meditation. Just begin with something you can do every single day.

This anchors the mind back to that peaceful space—a space you’ll want to return to again and again. You’ll want it more and more, I promise, because peace of mind feels really, really good.

Let me know if you’ve started?
Are you finding it hard to start?
How’s it going?

Enjoy the peace! ☮️

This September term at yogashala our focus is on contentment as the seasons change. It is not happiness but equanimity towards all of life. This wisdom comes from yogas Niyama, Santosha.

The philosophy of yoga has profound guidance to live a life well. It is still very relevant in today’s society. Even more so with our new found awareness of our ability to shift our mental health with yoga. You hear all of the time yoga is more than Asana, come to class at yogashala and see for yourself.

Mantra 🍂 🍁
Who I am is always there in my core.
That is what I return to when I need reminding.

Let’s discuss wardrobe whilst in Rishikesh.
In terms of weather and temperature shorts and t shirt will be fine. I do like to cover up respectfully but it’s not essential. I usually wear scarves to cover chest and shoulders and slightly longer trousers/skirt. Whilst I’m busy avoiding mopeds, monkeys and cows I always step in a cow poo or two so no favourite shoes! We will be there for Navaratri festival so bring something you don’t mind getting colour on. Oh and a swimsuit for a spot of Ganges and waterfall swimming! One warm jumper for our early morning 🌅 Himalayan sunrise experience.

It’s going to be lots of fun and adventure!
You are going to see a lot of culture and a different way of life. You will learn alot about yoga and yourself! You will meet beautiful people and have new experiences. The countdown is on. 🇮🇳

Have you ever felt like you go round and round in the same cycles in relationships?

Relationship is the highest form of yoga they say. I agree wholeheartedly! It’s not easy. It takes a lot of work and self reflection and did I say work?!

Yoga views relationships as a path to PERSONAL growth and spiritual development. If you choose to introspect you will learn so much about yourself.

Yoga teaches you about your patterns, reactions and pre conditioning. It asks you to self reflect frequently AND LEARN to break the old patterns. React differently then everything changes. You start new karmic cycles rather than the same old.

Try reacting differently to a ‘same old’ pattern in your life and see what happens. Not easy to do something differently. Take the challenge.

On this day we honour our teachers who have inspired us on this journey.

I have 4 special teachers I hold dear to my heart . Starting in my early 20s when I felt inspired by a beautiful teacher called Asha at the David Loydd of all places! She was actually a very spiritual teacher. That’s where seed was set. I knew it was more than posture but in my 20s I was not ready to hear it all. It took some life experiences, some illness, some grief, becoming a mother and alot of growing to open my ears and hear at the right time.

Then Leon came in. I was flagging and life was getting on top of me. I had been diagnosed with a tumour in my brain and two little children. I was lost. I needed guidance. I got it, delivered in bucket loads. I found health, peace, contentment but most of all connection to that the made me well. 🙏

I wouldn’t change anything. It’s all woken me up!

Thank you and who inspires me on this post and this platform. spreading the word of true yoga. Even finding gurus on Instagram these days!

Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work.
