Don’t catch me, I’m falling towards the inky blackness, dancing down the vortex to skip through the portal, where I can be blasted inside my particles. Settling as black sand, I sit. Catching the light. Looking out and up, swimming through the layers, drawing a golden line with an oily needle that pierces the void, through my bones, out of my skin and when I open my eyes, i still begin. This seamless consciousness that holds all things. May i river through them all.

Inside the tender ganglion of a sensitised life, there is always more to be felt. More energy to curiously hold, taste and digest inside the field of awareness. That mysterious holding space of experience, where we can steady ourselves as the waves of emotion move in, round and through. Standing in this light, the Self firmly established inside itself, there is only more blood, more salt, more sweetness. Where a tipping point of overwhelm opens a portal into freedom and reality is stripped down to the nerve ends of its raw, present aliveness. There could never be too much beauty in that. In that, is everything and nothing 📸@iamelizabethcurtis #feeleverything #emotionisenergy #energyisfood #letitmoveyou #bemoved #digestion #embodiedflow #embodiment #awakening #yoga #yogainspiration #contemplation #energy #awareness #holdingspace #yogateacher #samavesayoga

I turned the page and there you were: a list of names that were once empty words. Now filled with spools of film, each one sacred to touch. I was careful not to leave my fingerprints upon your coated surfaces, so your stories could play out and we could watch them, side by side. One next to the Other. Smiling at the right moment, our hearts breaking as we mourned your losses. Seeing you now, from Here. And here. And here. Did you notice how many seats we took? Spiralling closer and closer towards your tender centre. I hope you landed safely, on softer ground, more steady, less bound, so you won’t feel a tug when we part. My hand rests lightly still, and always will, spaciously holding the back of your sweet sweet heart. ✨✨✨✨✨ Going inside to process all the magic of @samavesayoga Waiting for the right words to move through. Thinking of you all, as I do.

These last few days of Bali family time have been so sweet, I’ve been drinking in every last drop. Quietly toasting the depths of the ever deepening. My friends, my teachers, my guides, my heart ✨👯‍♀️🌺🦋 #sisterhood #kula #yoga #family #samavesayoga #leeds #bali #friendship

Did Life dance through you today? Did you feel her soft stepping on your skin and roaring through your veins? Surrender to her song and let the instrument of your body-mind be played in endless expressions of aliveness. Recognise yourself as light and sound waves, dancing particles of illumination, pulsating as currents of creative energy. There is such peace in Trust. Such a relief to no longer feel like you have to be the doer. Be done. Be danced. Be moved. Be carried, willingly, into the unknown. You will be caught, held and guided safely home 🌊🦋🌺✨🙏💗 #samavesayoga #trust #movement #yoga #devotion #reverence #yogateacher #yogainspiration

Samāveśa. To immerse into your Divinity. To recognise the innate intelligence of Life, taking form as you, expressing through you, in an endless dance of self-reflection and realisation. Coming to abide in the ground of awareness, the quiet joy of being, the sweet homecoming of the Self to itself ✨✨✨ We have two weeks till we dive into the arms of Bali for the deep practice and study of Yoga. Immersing to surrender, more and more, into the eternal mystery and curious unfolding of our own awakening. Inquiring into our embodied experience through sadhana, asana and philosophy. Deepening our knowledge under the guidance of @hareeshwallis and @theanatomyschool tasting the wisdom of Ayurveda with @margheritadalprayoga and learning from the culinary skills of @writing_retreat_bali dancing in ceremony with @ausierra.brynn.goforth breathing with @healtoshine healing at @pyramidsofchi and integrating through sweet evening practices of yin, restorative and Nidra. We have one male residential space, two female residential spaces and two non-residential. If you feel called to join and complete our family, message me or clink the link in profile to sign-up 🌺🙏✨🦋 📸@baligasm #yogabali #yogaretreat #yogateachertraining #ytt #yogateacher #ubud #bali #ubudyoga #yoga #meditation #awakening #kula #family #deepdive #yogainspiration #yogastudy #yogastudent #samavesayoga #baliretreat #retreat
