Our 2025 annual retreat at Goedgedacht reminded us of the power of pausing and reconnecting — with nature, with each other, and with ourselves. 🌿 Grateful for this beautiful space and all who shared it with us. 💫

🌿 The Greatest Adventure is Discovering Who We Truly Are 🌿

We often tell ourselves: "I am a mother, a runner, a yogi… I am a traveller, a writer, a dog lover… I am a husband, a lawyer, a foodie."

But who we truly are goes far beyond these roles. These labels may only hint at our essence—or they may be habits, expectations, or identities we’ve fallen into.

✨ Our true self is the person beneath all the roles, expressed through our core beliefs, values, and passions—not what others expect of us.

When we connect with our authentic self, we discover: 🧘‍♀️ Peace 🧘‍♀️ Clarity 🧘‍♀️ Freedom to fully live our potential

💫 This is what yoga is all about. 💫

👉 Come explore your true self on the mat with us. Let’s journey inward—together.

🌿 Start Your Yoga Practice Mindfully 🌿
As you settle into your yoga practice, find a comfortable position and let all mental chatter fade.

Release what no longer serves you, and be grateful for everything that has brought you to this moment. Let go of any agenda about where you should be and focus on where you actually are.

Here on your mat, there’s no external reward — the practice itself is the reward.

🌸 Connect With Your Body and Breath 🌸
Release your weight into the earth and feel supported.

Lengthen your spine, soften your shoulders, and visualize your energy flowing from the base of your brain to your coccyx.

Breathe up and down your spine as if it were hollow and filled with light.

Visualize your vital nerves radiating out to your organs and muscles.

🕉️ Calm Your Mind with Yoni Mudra 🕉️
Ask yourself:

“Where is my breath most noticeable?”
“What is my energy level right now?”

✨ From Yoga Mind, Peaceful Mind by Mary Stearns ✨

“Words that cause pain linger on… such words wound because we are sensitive beings, vulnerable to one another.

But here’s the truth:
Any narrative about who you are that causes anxiety is simply not true.

When those stories rise in your mind, pause.
🌿 Breathe deeply.
🌿 Whisper a calming chant:
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om
(Peace, Peace, Peace, Amen).

Close with this affirmation:
💫 I feel peaceful deep within.

Let this reminder guide you today as we enter into a new season - peace is always available within you. 🧘‍♀️💛

✨ Yoga is a path to self-awareness — drawing our focus inward until the mind finds stillness.

🌬️ Try this simple breath: inhale for 6, hold for 2, exhale for 6, hold for 2. Let your thoughts pass by like clouds without chasing them.

💚 Place your hands gently on your chest and imagine drawing energy (prana) down into your heart. Feel the rise and fall of your breath as your chest expands and softens.

🌿 When you lie back, rest your hands over your breastbone and bring your awareness to the heart chakra — a centre of energy, like a small sun glowing in your chest. With each inhale, welcome vitality into this space.

Repeat silently: “I am a sacred being.”
