These trainings can be a wonderful way to learn more about what Yin and Restorative practice offers, how best to practice it for your own personal development.

Most healing advice:
“Release the emotion. Clear it. Let it go.”

My nervous system:
“…and then what?”

What if instead of always trying to get rid of what you feel,
you got curious about why it’s here?

In my new piece I talk about emotions as curriculum:
not sins, not glitches, but the exact lessons your soul signed up to study in this life.

If that framing makes your shoulders drop 2mm,
you might want to read: “Tired of Fixing Yourself? Try Listening Instead.”

For the always-working-on-yourself crowd

If you’re tired of working on yourself and still not feeling at home in your life… try this:

Heal for 10 minutes.
Live for the next 23 hours and 50.

I say this as a yoga teacher, meditation guide, and lifelong inner-work nerd.

You don’t need another 3-hour ritual tonight.
You might just need one honest check-in with your body — and then permission to drink your tea, read your book, and enjoy being human.

Ten minutes to breathe, feel, notice what hurts and what feels quietly okay.
Then close the notebook.

Your soul’s curriculum is taught through real life, not only practices.
You don’t exist just to process. You also exist to live.

💌 If that lands, you’ll probably like my Substack essays. I write about nervous systems, remembering, and actually living your curriculum in real days.

When I was younger, I honestly believed there would be a day where I’d just…arrive.
Enough training, enough workshops, enough “work on myself,” and then: click.
Life, figured out. Curriculum, completed. Gold star from the Universe.

Instead, every time I thought, okay, now I’ve got it, life quietly changed the level.

New relationship, same ache.
New job, same pattern.
New city, same questions echoing at 2am.

It took me a long time to realise: nothing was wrong with me for “not getting it.”
My soul wasn’t failing.
My soul was fascinated.

It kept bringing me back to the same theme again and again, like:

“Here. This. Let’s look at THIS one more time. But a little deeper. With a little more self-love this round.”

The goal was never to graduate from being human.
The goal was to become more and more myself inside every new challenge.

If you’re in a season of “why is this happening again?”, maybe it’s not a cosmic error.
Maybe it’s your curriculum saying,
let’s finally learn this with you on your own side.

🕯️ If this lands, you’ll probably like today’s essay ive written on Substack. It’s my love letter to the “I thought I’d have this figured out by now” version of us.

Sometimes I still catch myself thinking:
“If I could just figure it out, life would finally calm down.”

But when I look back, it was never the figured out seasons that changed me.
It was the messy ones.
The ones that didn’t make sense yet.
The ones I would’ve never chosen on purpose.

What if those weren’t random plot twists…
but chapters in a curriculum your soul signed up for?

Not as punishment.
As material.
For learning self-worth, or love, or truth, or trust in a way that isn’t theoretical anymore.

In my new Substack essay I talk about:
• why your hardest seasons all seem to have the same flavour
• how to spot the pattern (without blaming yourself)
• a simple way to write your own “curriculum sentence”

If you’re in a chapter that feels like, “Seriously… THIS is my life right now?”
this one is for you.

🕊️ Title: What If Your Hardest Seasons Were Part of a Curriculum?

And if it lands, will you share it with someone who’s in their own “I should have it figured out by now” season? 💛

On challenges, soul-lessons, and why “figuring it out” was never the point

If you are exhausted by the idea of “New Year, New You,” here is a different question:

What is the one lesson that has been trying to find you for years.

Not the goal.
The lesson.

“I am still worthy when I rest.”
“I am allowed to be fully myself and still be loved.”
“My body is not my enemy.”

What if your entire year was a playground for practising that one thing.
No rebrand.
Just deepening.

I used to treat my life like a straight line.

Finish school.
Get married.
Build a career.
Be good. Do good. Repeat.

Then Spirit tapped my shoulder with things that did not fit on that line.
A brain scan.
A yoga mat.
A love that felt like coming home.
A grief that tore everything open.

Now I see my life as a circle I am walking again and again,
each round a little closer to the centre of who I really am.

The calendar on the wall did not change.
My relationship with time did.

I love the crazy things I get to do with friends and I’m in love with the quiet times I have for myself.
