I have never been half hearted. I fall in love many times in a day and I fell for this one four years ago. We were a room of 50 teachers in training with @siannasherman and Rikke stood still, holding silence, at the front. We attuned. She waited. Words came from an unknown place and the room was moved in waves to a singularity. One body, one breath. She taught for a few short minutes but it was masterful. Her refinement of language, curation of space, poetry of voice and stitching of philosophy to theme and body is truly breathtaking. It is really my great honour to be facilitating @samavesayoga alongside this one. Not only is she a master teacher but she is my soul friend, my sister, my heart @rikkebrodin 🧡Together we will lead two 100hr modules in March, accompanied by the intellectual rigor of @hareeshwallis and the vibrant pedagogy of @theanatomyschool ✨ inspired by @embodiedflow the Embodiment Immersion and Expression Training can be taken separately or together for a 200hr certification.

"It is war that drives men forward". I heard these words today, but they were first spoken by a female surgeon in the second world war, and it made me think of the war we are each fighting inside ourselves, with ourselves, as we struggle to find room inside for peace. "Sense your hurt is being held by something larger". I found these words in my journal this morning, and felt the comfort of being held as my thoughts went from rush to trickle. As a teacher of yoga, I am a collector of words and insights. I gather fragments and moments in the investigation of life, consciousness, reality, language, relationship, being human and spend much of my time distilling these down so I can transmit and translate in a way that is meaningful for others. What is the teaching? Why does it matter? And how do I curate a journey through words, voice, music, sequence and theme that will elicit an embodied experience of the state of being we call 'Yoga'. This is the juice of teaching for me. It’s the creative heart of my practice and a constant source of inspiration, as I continue to study, embody what I study and find authentic ways to transmit what I feel. In March 2020, I will be offering a 100hr module on the Art of Teaching @radiantlyaliveyoga alongside the breathtaking and masterful @rikkebrodin. Together we will share our practices, studies, resources and tools to help you gather and harvest your own truths to create potent yoga classes that could only ever come from you. Your voice, your wisdom, your creative interpretation. Our commitment is to hold a safe space to explore, inquire and grow as a teacher of yoga. Open to students who have completed the 100hr @samavesayoga Embodiment module or students who already have a 200hr YTT certificate. Early Bird ends October 31st and feel free to message if you have any questions or we can hop on a call if you want to know more.

‘I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.’ John O’Donohue. What is your relationship to the unknown? Can you make yourself comfortable and sit inside the unfolding? Control and planning might shake their busy heads but I can smile at them, as finger bones soften and curl. To trust in life’s course is to become intimate with life itself, falling into its arms, carried by refined intuition and unwavering trust. To live like a river flows is to find yourself somewhere entirely unexpected but not lost. It’s the way of ease and grace. Of surrender and wisdom. Of profound connection to the intelligence of life and the part of us that always already knows. It whispers, this way, this way, this way. And this is how I learn to listen. Washing away the doubt and fear so I can hear the truth of my own knowing. And this is carved into my heart as a facilitator. To create a space where you attune to your own wisdom so you walk away, guided by the part of you that always already knows. On October 25-27 I will step into this space @mokshayogaaustralia to remember our deepest knowing through yoga, meditation and embodiment practices that clarify the waters and still the waves to help us hear more easily. Early bird ends Friday October 11th.
