🔥 Remember: You have power. Do not let ‘world leaders’ who abuse their power tremendously, make you believe you don’t - you decide who gets to influence you and I truly hope that you choose good people to influence you. Be brave! ✨💪

💪 Choose. Where is your money going? Who are you voting for? What are you investing in?

💪 Connect. Where is your community - where are like minded people?

💪 Recharge. Fill up your energy. Switch off the news. Go in to nature. Go to yoga. Build resilience and capacity. Watch funny and cute animal content. Do whatever fills up your cup - as long as you are not harming of course.

💪 Act. When your energy is up, take actions. Boycott, donate, petition, join movements, share fact checked info, lean into Durga and Kali energy. Chanting for peace is lovely and inner peace is important but we also need to face reality and realise peace doesn’t just *p**f* happen. It happens because people work towards it, because people come together and say enough.

The US is using distraction tactics. Do not let orange jobby get away with this. Eyes on Epstein files, eyes on Cuba, eyes on Palestine. Stay informed, yes it’s horrendous but it’s important.👀

We are not free until everyone is. Act for the your wellbeing AND for the good of all.

Free Gaza, Free Congo, Free Sudan, Free Ukraine, Free nature, Free the world.

We all have power. Use it. ✨

Tomorrow in addition to free posts, our paid subscription 'Sacred Living' is going LIVE. 🎉

'We all like a freebie, me included. Free things can be great but there is no commitment or accountability. Not to yourself, not to the person you received from, and not from the person who created it towards you.

When I hosted monthly free sessions, I often had 15 people sign up with only between 1 and 5 committed people turning up LIVE with maybe 1 or 2 more watching the replay. I have done it too. Seeing something on social media thinking ‘Oh this looks great’, signing up, often not able to make it LIVE, and remembering the replay 2 months later when it has expired. Oops.

The free subscription will stay available. I find it important that information about yoga, ethics, plants, energy etc. is available to everyone. It is also important that creating is meaningful and sustainable and with going paid, there is commitment. From me to you, from you to you, and from you to me. The paid subscription includes more in depth articles, 1 LIVE session per month, and more.' - Ingrid

Sacred living is for you if you want to be part of something meaningful and care about:

✨ Yoga philosophy and practices (beyond asana/ postures)

✨ Ritual and ethical witchcraft as tools for meaning and alignment. Directing energy towards good or redirecting energy to where it came from. If you are interested in curses/ hexes this is not for you.

✨ Gardening/ horticulture

✨ Nature and plants as guides and companions for living well

✨ Ethics, conscious choices, and sacred action

✨ Treating others with respect, honesty, and kindness

✨ Be part of a community that cares about equality, living awake and alive, and want to walk the talk. Together, uniquely, and unapologetically.

🎊 Congratulations to Hannah from the Green Party for winning the by-election in Gorton and Denton! 🎊

This is MASSIVE! It means the majority of people are standing up for the good. That most of us want change for the better. That we stand up together against authoritarianism, misogyny, fascism, genocide, hate, division, and the list goes on.

Celebrate today and keep taking your steps to liberation for all. Vote, boycott (NoThanks or Boycat app), sign petitons, speak up, and keep yourself informed. Always ask yourself when voting - what does someone has to gain from my vote? What are all their policies? Research the numbers they share as for example Reform is spreading lies and misinformation and propaganda. Be careful with what you believe and support. Keep educating yourself and connect with like minded people.

Together we can, for the good of all. People and Planet. ✨🎊

*Happy dance 🪩💃🎊* Congratulations Hannah and the Green Party!

Yin yoga is a great practice! Holding poses for a longer period of time strengthens deep and mostly non-stretchy tissues such as ligaments, tendons, and bones, whilst bringing awareness to your inner wellbeing and divine light.

Why it is called deep dive? I weave meditation, breathing, relaxation, yoga philosophy, and mantra throughout class creating a holistic journey for the body, mind, and spirit. 🕉🥰

✨ 1st of March
✨ The theme is 'Transitioning'
✨ Jyoti Centre for Wellbeing and Yoga in Kelty (12 Main Street Kelty KY4 0AA)
✨ 11.00 to 12.30
✨ £14.

You decide who influences you. Use your intellect, we have a brain for a reason. 🧠🧐

My heart hurts. So many ‘teachers’ I followed have not been speaking up. The silence is deafening and not in a good way.

Yoga is oneness. Understanding we are all one. Understanding we all deserve a good life. Understanding that if there is suppression there will never be liberation for all. Understanding that we have a duty of care towards all in this human life. Understanding that our choices and actions matter. Understanding that together, we are a powerful force. Together we can make change happen. For the good of all.

What choices are you making today? ✨

Greece is special. The scenery, the people, the food, the air, the sea, the light. Combine a trip to Greece with sailing and you add a dimension to travelling that fills the soul. 🥰☀

Include yoga (the real yoga not the westernised twisted version) to connect with nature, cultivate presence and harmony as you navigate both the sea and your inner world and you have a very potent and magical combination. ✨🕉⛵

On the 10th of October 2026, Blair (XP at Sea) and I are hosting our 4th Yoga and Sail Retreat! 🕉⛵

Curious about what happens on retreat? I wrote a little summary to give you an impression, have a read!

For those interested in a 3 hour monthly workshop (in person and on zoom, possibly a hybrid class) - I was thinking the first or second Saturday of each month from 10.00 to 13.00 or 10.30 to 13.30.

Do you have any preference? 🙏
