Happy St Patrick’s Day.

Our national day is one where we can make a milestone of our journey with our Irish identity after colonialism, a moment where our culture is thrust into the spotlight on an international stage, warts and all, derivative and authentic at once.

St Patrick was venerated in Rome because it was seen as such an incredible achievement to convert the people of this land to Christianity. Many had tried and failed before him to rid us of our pagan ways, and the legend of Patrick ‘driving the snakes out of Ireland’, that so bewilders and captures the imagination of us from childhood on, is a euphemism for Pagan conversion.

Patrick himself achieved Christianity in Ireland because he was charismatic, a bit of a maverick rebel who was unafraid to bend the Christian doctrine to fit in with the existing culture. Patrick was a priest in Druid’s clothing and took up roles such as fostering a child from one noble household into another, performing diplomacy, in order to gain trust. Many of the stories about Patrick’s miracles and teachings do not sit with what we know about the land he arrived in - for example why would a people so absolutely familiar with a triple goddess, a triple cosmos need a Shamrock to illustrate how the spirit of God could be father, son and holy spirit at once?

From the time of Patrick to this day the Irish culture has been muddled, hybridised, and confused, and as we take a step back today, may we see the truth of this beautiful and diverse land beneath it all.

Mother's Day blessings to everyone, having a hard day or a good day 💗

Missing my mama so much today and still trying to figure out how I will raise another baby without her!

I am so blessed that she took the attitude if she couldnt put her absolute best into having a baby she wouldn't have one at all. I got the very best of her from conception to early years and she set quite the standard... marching up hills and doing tai chi pregnant with me, hanging on til the bitter end of a 3 day labour to homebirth me, baby wearing, extended breastfeeding, never feeding me anything out of a jar until I discovered ketchup myself etc etc etc None of that was mainstream at the time and now I know first hand the effort and commitment that took!

I wish motherhood was as valued and venerated as it should be. Those early years shape culture, collective consciousness and the wellbeing of society as a whole.

A revised edition of the groundbreaking New Age book that seamlessly merges Western psychology and science with spirituality, creating a compelling interpretation of the Eastern chakra system and its relevance for Westerners today
“A useful tool for contemplating our strengths, weaknesses, and appropriate approaches to growth.”–Yoga Journal

In Eastern Body, Western Mind, chakra authority Anodea Judith brought a fresh approach to the yoga-based Eastern chakra system, adapting it to the Western framework of Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, childhood developmental theory, and metaphysics and applying the chakra system to important modern social realities and issues such as addiction, codependence, family dynamics, sexuality, and personal empowerment.

Arranged schematically, the book uses the inherent structure of the chakra system as a map upon which to chart our Western understanding of individual development. Each chapter focuses on a single chakra, starting with a description of its characteristics and then exploring its particular childhood developmental patterns, traumas and abuses, and how to heal and maintain balance.

Join us for the Spring Equinox Cacao Ceremony! A moment of pause and balance to drop in, integrate and allow. We will explore Equinox with practices tailored to unite the subtle charges of masculine and feminine within, facilitated by the gentle healing power of cacao.

In ceremony, we gather in community to drink cacao with intention, allowing space for stillness, movement, and quiet insight. This is an invitation to soften, to feel, and to reconnect with what matters most.

Come as you are and allow the medicine of presence to guide the experience. 🌿
See www.machayoga.com/cacao for upcoming ceremonies.

On International Women's Day, we are not free until all women are free.

I am the great granddaughter of a woman who perished in poverty, for familial connection to the IRA, after a life time of childbearing with some barely half reared.

I am the granddaughter of a woman born in 1916 when the dream of our country included women, a woman who deeply resented the limitations places on her life under the De Valera-era theocracy. She counseled we should not be shackled to our reproductive capacity or usefulness and palatability to men.

I am the daughter of a woman who stood on our mainstreet at 14 handing out fliers supporting our rights to contraception, family planning and autonomy over our reproductive rights. The same woman who would travel to England herself, only a child of 16 and have it gossiped about over her grave nearly 50 years on as if the shame was indelible.

And I see not half the progress in our rights they should have expected 100 years later and we are the lucky ones globally.

Under the luminosity of the full moon, we gather to slow down, release, and realign.

Full Moon Yoga is a space to soften the body, steady the breath, and allow whatever has reached completion to gently unwind.
This practice invites reflection rather than effort, presence rather than striving. Through embodied movement and stillness, we create space to let go of what no longer serves and reconnect with a sense of inner balance.
Join us on the mat as we move with the rhythm of the lunar cycle, honouring both fullness and release. 🌿

Join us on the closest Friday to the Full and New Moons at 7.30pm, see link in bio to book!

This Virgo Full Moon offers a quiet invitation into clarity, care, and grounded awareness. Virgo’s earthy, attentive energy encourages us to notice the subtle threads of our wellbeing, the routines, rhythms, and habits that support or no longer serve us.

Use this moment to reflect with kindness, refine what needs focus, and release what feels heavy. In the stillness of your practice, find steadiness of breath and body, and let this Full Moon be a gentle reminder that nourishment arises when we attend to ourselves with intention.

✨ Journal Prompts:
• Where in my life do I need more clarity or refinement?
• What patterns or habits are ready for gentle release?
• How can I nurture both body and mind with intention?

Join us on the mat and move with intention, class schedules available in bio link.
