As our year of Cape Yoga classes is coming to an end (with last week of classes next week), I’ve been reflecting on why this ā€˜job’ never feels like work - it’s in the little moments. Thank you šŸ™ 🧔

As a practitioner, maybe you recognise yourself in all or some of these moments as your practice has evolved, and if you’re a yoga teacher reading this, maybe these little moments have sparked the resonance of gratitude in you too. x

My journal entries prior to co-hosting a retreat in Bali earlier this year, are a record of me processing shame around a belief I held, that I lacked the ā€˜high-vibes’ energy I needed to embody, in order to be a ā€˜good retreat host’ and to inspire our guests.

But, when I wrote from my heart and truth, it became clear that that’s just not me, and that what was more important to me, was showing up in my authenticity - steady, present, embodying respect, trust, peace and kindness. I trusted that D&D would provide the zest šŸ™šŸ§”

For many years, I’ve judged myself for not having a more outgoing and ā€˜bigger’ energy, and this insecurity seemed to be exacerbated the more I compared myself to others online. I admire that energy, but I’ve learnt it’s not sustainable for me.

So incase you’re in a similar boat, I wanted to share the insights that have helped me shift my perspective from judging my energy, to loving my energy:

1. Acceptance - we all have different qualities to our energy, it’s what makes us unique, embodying them is what make’s us magnetic - whether it’s vibrant and adventurous, or a soft steadiness that invites a full exhale.

2. The qualities of our energy are often where our strengths or genius lie - if we can embody them with love and acceptance. Resisting or judging only leads to a sense of confusion, and disconnect.

3. Energy hygiene is real - do something everyday to activate and align your energy - I will usually begin my day with some short movement that includes bouncing, tapping, coherence breath, and a meditation to align with the frequency of gratitude. I find I feel much more aligned with my true nature and energy. Also honour the ebbs & flows.

4. Trust that your energy type holds medicine - I gained so much perspective on my own energy type through human design, discovering that I am a manifesting generator explained a lot about my energetics, gifts and processes, and helped me to accept myself just as I am.

I recommend getting a free HD chart (you’ll need time & location of your birth) to find out what you are if you haven’t done this before. I’ll post a link to one in my bio

I’d love to know your type

I’ll be pausing Cape Yoga classes for a month over the holiday season, with the last class being Friday 19th December.

However I’ll be guiding the first of the Saturday sunrise series at Hygge at Clifton Bay next Saturday, 6th December 7:30 - 8:45am and would love to see you there, it’s a beautiful location.

As I post this, I’m reflecting on what a phenomenal year it’s been, and feeling the hum of new and exciting opportunities brewing, so I’ll be spending some of my time off planning and preparing for more to be revealed in the New year!

Hoping to see you on the mat again before we press pause 🧔

A little story about how my practice evolved early on from being disembodied, into agency and embodiment.

In my experience yoga asana helps quiet the fluctuations of the mind, this in turn allows us to hear the quieter whispers from within the body, our inner wisdom. It also enables us to shift to that state of witness.

My self realisation was around my lack of agency, but for many it can be a resistance to slowing down, or being still, this can play out in the same way - parts of us get loud, the parts conditioned to believe that not being busy or productive is unsafe, and it can become evident in those pauses during the practice or at the end in savasana/final relaxation.

Such a big part of a yoga practice is to always meet all parts of you with curiosity and compassion, from that centred seat of the Self, that is where you find the capacity and steadiness to be with the discomfort of expanding beyond outdated beliefs.

You don’t have to miss it! The Day retreat we had scheduled for 22nd November is now postponed to the 14th March.

We don’t want this to be another thing you feel you’re squeezing into the end of year madness, even though it would be restorative, we hope you’ll find this retreat life-changing and start incorporating more rest into your life, and we know it’s really hard to create change and new habits at that time of year!

If you’d like to join us please get in touch, it’s going to be deeply replenishing and if slowing down is something you resist, our hope is that it may even reset your relationship to rest.

But more importantly, we hope it feels like a gift to Self 🧔
