~ New Moon & Solstice Reflections ~

The last two weeks have not been easy. Headache and low energy doing just what needed doing and nothing extra. I recognised it quickly enough to not add anything that didn’t align or didn’t need to happen.

So many people have mentioned feeling tired or rushed in the last while. There is definitely something around this time of the year.

During the time when my cup isn’t so full, I really keep the energy to myself in these moments in between so when I do go out to people, to teach my classes, to connect, I can be present.

In these moments in between, I feel the need for stillness and grounding, to simply be present, no great plans, no big goals or projects to think about.

This morning I woke up, and the energy felt different. I am aware of the New Moon in Sagittarius today that’s bringing some uplifting energy. I am definitely feeling it.

After about 10 days, I finally feel that I am grounded i myself enough to let some energy move through me, to open, to let it rise a bit. Just a little bit - really honouring the pace of the body, the pace of life.

During this time of the year, the darkness outside reminds me of the parts of ourselves that feel unknown, uncertain and how difficult it is to trust them, yet the wisdom lies in trusting the uncertainty, slowly letting it unfold, slowly letting it show us the way.

Our body, our psyche mirrors so much the cycles of nature. Yet we don’t always know how to trust them.

It is in the depth of the darkness that the spark of hope and new ideas are ignited, just like plants begin their lives deep in the earth.

I’m feeling more and more drawn to the cyclical wisdom of life, of nature, of our bodies. What does it mean to truly live in tune with ourselves? To be in tune with these internal shifts?

Among all of these reflections, I return to my yoga practices. They remind me that we are energy. This energy shifts, moves down, up, in and out and all around. (prana vayus). It can become stagnant, dormant and it can also be reawakened. We move, we shift, we change. Constantly. Yet there is also that unchanging force within that is life itself.

~ Yoga Community ~

What can I say? In the last year, our yoga community has grown, our bonds deepened and my heart is full for each and every person who showed up to the classes at the . I have been with this vision of a community for so long and to see it slowly growing is so incredible. To know you have trusted me in guiding you in yoga is such an honour because I know there is so much I still need to learn. I’m always learning. I am an eternal student myself.

We moved through all the seasons together, practiced indoors and outdoors. We gathered for Kirtan together, we bonded over picnic and chats outside the Sanctuary gate. Some of you joined my other offerings (circles, retreat) and that has been also wow - so heart warming.

I don’t have many pictures of us because I’m always present in the room and forget to take a couple of photos every now and then.

For next year, I really hope to organise more day and weekend retreats where we can dive into yoga teachings together, where we can connect deeper and thrive together.

Lots of love from the bottom of my heart.

Gratitude to the for being the space where all this magic happens. Gratitude to Sister Stan for creating it.

~ It all starts with an intentional pause to notice our present moment experience ~

To notice the flow of our breath can be a cue of our mental and emotional state. Shallow breathing? Holding your breath?

To pause to be still can bring our attention to any tension build up over a period of time. Tension in the shoulders? Tightness in the chest?

This morning when I sat down for my practice, I felt an immense need to release, tears fell down my cheeks and allowed that to happen.

It felt so freeing - realising that something is stuck and wants to go out.

Our body has a non-verbal language. Often when we pause to be with what is - we can notice all the things that bring up discomfort, pain or anxiety.

We might think that taking a moment every now and then to check in with ourselves is enough.

I do think that it needs to be incorporated into our daily routines even as a 2-min practice. As otherwise, we lose connection with ourselves, tension builds up and without even realising , we might start to people please or deny ourselves what we truly love or whatever tendency it is that you have.

I love when I return to my yoga practice and I’m reminded of this simple yet foundational principle - it all starts with awareness, and in order to be aware, we need to pause and feel, notice.

After awareness, there comes space for respecting wherever we are at and honouring it. And if we feel ready to explore how to release it and shift it, we need resources to have tools to do that. Yoga can offer so many of those resources.

The more I move into the energetics of yoga, I can feel more and more the power of different practices to support how I feel.

Some of the practices I use a lot are:

~ grounding practices for moving from head to body
~ energising practices to lift our energy
~ heat building practices to shift our perspective
~ chest opening practices for allowing fresh energy to flow in, for inspiration

Hope this resonates ✨

I look forward to practicing with you ✨

~ 5 days ~ 5 mornings ~ 5 koshas ~ Return to Practice ~

Over the last 5 days - Mon-Fri - each morning at 6.45am I connected with a small group of students to practice Embodied Hatha Yoga online around the theme of Receptivity. How can be become more aware of our inner experiences, the elements that make up our body and the different layers of our being?

We explored this through meditation, mudra, pranayama, asana, mantra. The holds in asana were longer which gives an opportunity to attune, awaken, adjust, soften, deepen.

Practice is about showing up, exploration, tending to the present moment experience and awakening a new perspective.

I am so thrilled when my students feel the impact of their practice on their daily life - feeling more awake, connected, energised, patient - all of that we can learn through practice - and then we bring it to our daily lives. Often the embodying of yoga in life happens spontaneously - we just notice it Often it happens in a different way - by increasing awareness of our inner experience, we are able to notice when we enter into a ln automatic reaction , pause and choose how we want to respond.

This morning I returned to my self-practice and I feel so invigorated by the 5 days of shared experience. For me, sharing yoga is a source of inspiration and learning. I learn with each one of you, with each class and each encounter.

I will definitely host another one of those 5 morning practice journeys, stay tuned. If you want a container for a practice or to establish a routine - this might be for you ❤️❤️❤️

Much love ❤️

Join me for an online sisterhood encounter on Wednesday 15th October 6.30-8pm (Ireland Time). HELD is about having space to show up authentically and feel the support of community.

We will connect with our bodies, our stories and awaken the wisdom from within nourished by the support of sisterhood.

In this gathering, you will be held by the community of women. We will open the session with a grounding practice such as meditation or somatic inquiry followed by a space for connection. Depending on what is present in the group, we might explore a certain theme together or simply allow space to be heard, seen and held.

This encounter is donation based. If you cannot donate financially, please reach out.

If you participate in my in-person circles and have availed of the container of 3 circles - this encounter is part of the container.

We will connect via Google Meets - please ensure to be familiar with the platform prior to joining.

~ My journey ~

It took me a while to put this together but it has been quite refreshing to pin point the turning points in my journey. Of course the journey shared here does not include every challenge and every realisation I had along the way. Instead it’s just a simple recognition of how our journeys are not linear, how we are all motivated by different experiences both internal and external.

My passion and driving force has always been to discover how to feel connected and as part of something bigger. So far this is where the journey has brought me - and it is ongoing.

I’m discovering more and more that in our troubled world today, we need to cultivate more connection within ourselves, to know ourselves better, and to awaken to our potential and use it towards creating and cultivating peace, harmony, community, joy, love ❤️

Thank you for being with me on this journey - all parts of it! ❤️

Love,
Anna

~ September ~

With September just around the corner, we are moving into months which energetically are connected to introspection, slowing down and letting go.

In September, I have a few offerings including new terms of Embodied Yoga and a new addition of Kirtan with Community Gathering

The Women’s Circles are returning after a short break with a slightly new format. I am now offering a container of 3 circles which can be used in a cycle of 4 circles. Individual circle booking will be also available, please message me if interested in that option 🙂

I look forward to seeing you in September!

With love,
Anna

🦋Wild Heart Women’s Retreat - Aug 2025 🦋

I am beyond words to express the fullness and the love experienced during the Wild Heart Women’s Retreat at .

Back in February when I envisioned this retreat, I had a sense of how it would be, a feeling. Over the months of preparation, I could feel more and more the theme of Wild Heart being embodied deep within me. My intention was to create a space where we can all feel called back into our truth and to support one another through presence, listening, compassion, sisterhood.

To see my vision come to live was such an incredible experience. Throughout the weekend, I witnessed women supporting one another, offering acts of kindness, sharing stories, crying and laughing together, tending to the deeper parts of ourselves. There is so much beauty in making space to allow our truth to surface, to allow our wild hearts to open with love and so much warmth.

We were pampered with delicious food by the wonderful .klaudia ❤️, whose creations continued to surprise us in taste, colours, smell and textures.

Definitely planning to host Wild Heart Women’s Retreat again, already booked a weekend next August in the Yoga Barn so stay tuned for more info 😊

So much love,
Anna
