We’re conditioned to fill our lives - with doing, achieving, competing. And this can spill into our spiritual journey. For so long, my path had been about seeking more profound experiences, deeper awakenings, grander moments of transcendence. Perhaps I needed all of these extreme spiritual experiences to arrive to what I now recognize: The quiet beauty of simply being. The sacredness in stability. The light that moves through the ‘ordinary’ when we stop grasping for the ‘extraordinary’. There is an emptiness that is not lack, not numb, but full.
A heart that is still, spacious, and already whole.
This is the fullness of an empty heart. Listen. Be. ✨ Read the full reflection in my latest Journal, via the link in my bio. Inspired by Miten’s words “Empty Heart”. Also, take a listen to the Heart Sutra. #EmptyHeart #SacredRemembrance #SpiritualJourney #AwakenedHeart #YogaWisdom #TantraInEverydayLife #StopChasingStartBeing #StillnessIsPower #LightInTheOrdinary

Reflecting on a beautiful night attending @devapremalmiten . Here are some highlights and moments that moved me (with the pictures): 1. Going with this amazing group of souls from @inye.yoga filled my heart with joy. 2. The recognition that I’m in a different place on my spiritual journey - one rooted in devotion to life itself, in the mystery and wonder of every moment (play). No longer seeking grandiose awakenings and teachings, but savouring the sacred in the “simple”. 3. I unexpectedly bumped into a student from @movati.burlington . She once gave me a handmade Christmas gift. When I asked her about it, she told me she makes socks for the homeless every year. Her quiet devotion touched me deeply at that time when I felt I had lost something. It was during a period when a former teacher of mine tried to justify unethical actions. Through her example and that chapter of my life, I realized that our greatest teachers can be the ones sitting quietly beside us. Our teachers are also the ones who disappoint us. 4. The smoke in the lighting was stunning in this moment - and the story behind his guitar, with his parents’ ashes woven into it, added such depth and soul. 5. Always a gift to see @mystic_marker33 from @movati.burlington . 6. One of the first mantras I ever learned (18 years ago) was from Deva Premal, and hearing it again brought me full circle. No pictures, but also great to bump into @psychic_steph_speaks and @withlovedebra Grateful for this night. Grateful for the path. #DevotionalPath #DevaPremal #Miten #MantraMusic #SpiritualJourney #SacredMoments #LiveYourPractice #YogaCommunity #GratefulHeart #TeachersEverywhere #SacredSound #SoulfulConnection #HeartCentered

Stability gives softness a place to land. In relationship, when I’m met with presence, steadiness, and care, that strength allows my heart to greet the other with openness. 
Lately, I’ve been feeling the quiet bliss of this dynamic (in myself and in relationship with another). 
I love slower practices with presence and care — but I’ve sped up the video for the sake of flow. Blocks aren’t just about making a pose more accessible — they can build strength and awareness.
 When I extend the bottom arm forward, using the block, a beautiful dynamic unfolds:
an internal anchoring and strengthening through the lower side that allows the upper side of the torso to expand with grace and strength. The openness and expansion above are amplified by the strength and support below — internally in the body, externally with the block. Here, I find the centre. The centre of relationship. @livecorten Tuesdays, Power Flow (Warm) at 9:30 am #openheartsafeheart #somaticwisdom #yogaforanopenheart #sacredremembrance #nervoussystemhealing #yogateacherlife #embodiedrelationship #yogapractice #intelligentsequencing #creativeyogaflow #yogaforhealing

Perfection is effortlessness.
The Sacred is perfect.
And yet, the Sacred simply IS. My Achilles tendons and calves have always made it difficult to bring my heels down in certain yoga poses.
Baby Grasshopper (shown at the end of this video) is one of them.
And still, I find beauty in this pose (my own way), even with my heel lifted. PERFECTION IS… Borderless.
A deep acceptance.
Not flawless, but whole.
Not controlled, but deeply true.
The Sacred dancing through form,
revealing itself in every “seemingly” imperfect edge made holy. EFFORTLESSNESS IS… Moving from inner alignment.
An offering free from friction.
The Sacred flowing without resistance - whole, honest, and true. ✨ Perfection is effortlessness. I invite you to explore this space with me - on the mat, in stillness, or within your own sacred becoming. @movati.burlington @movati.athletic @lifeatmovati Wednesdays, Hot Power & Flow at 12:00 pm Thursdays, Hot Power & Flow at 4:30 pm Thursdays, Hot Yin at 5:45 pm Sundays, Hatha at 9:00 am #sacredembodiment #sacredperfection #effortlessness #yogasequence #soulfulmovement #spiritualpractice #tantrayoga #embodiedwisdom #poweryoga #yogateacherlife #consciousmovement #radicalacceptance #yogaflow #sacredself #embodiedyoga #sacredremembrance

💫 Endings: Connection & Letting Go 💫 Ancient spirals etched across cultures remind us of life’s cycles—birth, life, death, and rebirth—each turn carrying wisdom for new beginnings. Yet, we often overlook Turiya, the fertile space of transformation—pure consciousness that transcends and underlies these cycles. Our relationships mirror this rhythm, evolving through roles and experiences. As we move from lover to friend, student to peer, teacher to friend, or let go entirely, we release the past with gratitude, and linger in the silent potential they hold for growth. 🌿✨ Reflecting on the connections that have come full circle, I share seven insights drawn from endings and the silent space of Turiya, guiding me to honour each encounter as part of a greater journey as a yoga teacher.
