We’ve both have a story when it comes to food and are still and probably forever on a journey when it comes to food, as do many also.

Through our experience and Caz’s love for nutrition as well as her Health Coaching we hope to educate and bring more awareness to what we are consuming and most importantly from what place, intention, thought and feeling.

Maybe it’s not so much about cultivating a relationship with food but firstly ourselves. From that place we see food for what it is. We have more of an awareness to how it makes us feel and what we need 🥑🥥🍉🥦🍓

In times of uncertainty, we often come back to this question!

Coming back to the question ‘Am I safe right now?’ - normally that is a yes! Right now, I do have everything I need. It’s often when our mind is living in the past or future that we tend to feel really unsafe.

Presence first 👐🏼🤍

‘Who am I?’

A question I’ve been asking myself lots lately.

Looking for the right words, the right labels and identifications.

Yet I believe we’d always be looking if we were basing ourselves of these labels.

Instead, beneath the labels there’s something more. There’s a felt sense that words can’t even describe.

As we become still and spend more time connecting with ourselves, we all have the ability to tap into this.

To tap into this feeling of who we are rather than this depiction we make up in our mind of who we are.

Being in a foreign country around people I don’t know, there’s a sense of confidence that has come with that.

Wearing what I want, going to art classes, new yoga classes, gatherings, salsa nights and chatting to people I wouldn’t normally chat to.

I’m realising if I can do all this here then why not do it at home?

Hello fear of judgement and being seen!

When I’m back at home I’m excited to meet these parts of me and do these fun things regardless of the fear because heck they are fun!! 💃🏼✨🍍🌶👏🏼💛

Radical Self Acceptance.

The journey of Aligned begins with Chapter 1, radical self acceptance. Which, ironically, doesn’t happen in chapter 1. Nor 2, and perhaps not 8. For self acceptance is a practice.

A practice of Self.

Of seeing the noise of the mind, the past events, conversations and emotions, and coming back to your Self, each time.

Drawing and recalling all your energy and intention back to your core, in this present moment.

As an intention for yourself to begin practicing self acceptance, perhaps you take the time to meet the parts of you, the past behaviours, words spoken, emotions lingering in the back of the wardrobe… and make a conscious intention to be with it.

To not try to change it, fix it, or get rid of it.

But to simply just hang out for a while, and calibrate your system to know it’s safe to be there

Without self compassion, self awareness can become a time for self beat up.

When we become aware of our natural tendencies and behaviours, it’s quite interesting to witness. The way we react, think, feel, process certain topics and conversations.

Through looking at yourself and these behaviours with compassion, ie seeing the love in the behaviours, or perhaps the means to try achieve love, we can create a partnership within ourselves. Instead of a war.

Acknowledging that every behaviour is out of desires of love or safety.

Self awareness and self compassion are 2 rungs of our DNA that can’t exist without one another 🧬

Just jumped off a Full Moon Ceremony Call with our Online Studio gals 🌕🤍

We explored passion and power, what we are gripping onto, what is resistance and then what is a no and what it is we actually want right now, what what we think we want but what do we really want?

I loved this time together we spent together, because yes in that moment it was wonderful but also everything that had led up to that moment.

My day leading up to it had been really restful, yin like energy and very much a ME day.

I had forgotten how much giving I need to give back to me!

No wonder why everything feels like ALOT when we haven’t nourished ourselves first.

Not to say life has to be all dandy before we go into anything because life isn’t that but what is going to presence us before we tend to others.

Still learning but the particles sure are starting to settle!! ✨✨

It always brings us all the warm fuzzies to read and feel these beautiful words from our Aligned ladies. Portraying the depth and courage at which they felt into their experience and explored themselves! ⁠
⁠
Aligned is not a programme about improving yourself or becoming more than yourself, but more so about unbecoming, everything you thought you had to pretend to be in order to be loved. And curiously discovering what is underneath it all.⁠
⁠
And most importantly, learning to love on what you find 🌱

01/10/2022

Aligned is an 8 week container of love, where you are held, heard and supported through the unbecoming journey of unlearning and stripping back everything you’ve been told or thought you need to do/be to be enough or to receive love.

And in that nakedness, that rawness you discover what’s underneath it all, who you really are at your core.

We bring in the knowing that your higher self isn’t something you need to change or fix yourself to get to, and really it’s been You all along.

Each week presents a new chapter of self inquiry, a new opportunity to become familiar with yourself, a new way of understanding yourself and your reality.

It’s been built according to our own lived experience of fumbling and figuring that still continues to this day.

We hope you’ll trust your intuitive knowing that this is meant for you when you hear it whisper 🤍

In the midst of the mystery that is these times, perhaps emotions feel louder than ever. Or perhaps quite the opposite and you don’t feel a whole lot.

Both are human responses.

Both don’t mean you’re broken.

If you’re craving the ability to be able to be with your emotions, handle your external experience and feel connected to You again, join us in an intimate date with yourself.

Together we’ll unlearn destructive behaviours and build your resiliency tool kit to enable more flow and alignment in your life!

Our next round commence Oct 10th so a beautiful way to tie a bow on 2022.

The Practice of Self Medicine Kit…

** A lil disclaimer here that we don’t believe it is the labels or qualifications that define who we are,
Yes AND…
Upon reflecting on the methods, avenues and pathways we have explored to birth TPOS, we felt called to share the various vials we have combined together to form our medicine.

Krystal:
* Bachelors Degree in Biological Science - 2017-2019
* NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) Master Practitioner - 2020
* 200 hour Awakening Arts Terra Soma Yoga Teacher - 2021
* WILD Success Launch Business Programme - 2020-2021 
Caroline:
* Integrative Nutrition Health Coach - 2020 - 2021
* 200 hour Yoga Koh Vinyasa Teacher Training - 2020
* Untapped Coach the Coach Intensive - 2020
* The School of Modern Meditation 800 hour AIM Facilitator Training - 2021 - 2022 
We weave together ancient wisdom with modern day science.

We marry elements of “personal development” with self compassion and acceptance.

We create a relationship between body and mind.

What isn’t listed here however, and which we don’t receive a certificate for, is our lived experience.

The sensations we’ve sat with, the parts of our shadow we’ve visited, the courageous conversations we’ve had, the tears, the joy, the processing and compassionate understanding, the frustration and anger, the love, the hate, the everything.

We believe that’s the real vial that contributes to our ability to create and offer what we do x

It’s a misconception that when you do “the work” that you won’t experience painful emotions anymore.

That things will become roses and sunshine all the time.

When really, what it’s about for us and what it’s been for us is building the energetic body to be with it all.

To acknowledge and allow our process, instead of avoiding or distracting.

We still have days, often, when things feel tough and heavy, like our Aligned Alumni (now Online Studio gal) is experiencing here.

But we build the capacity to witness, be with and hold ourselves through it 🌱

If you’re desiring some support whilst navigating the mystery of life right now - know that you don’t need to fumble alone.

There’s a tribe awaiting you of empowerment, support and expansion 🤍
