Losing interest

When I feel myself losing interest, pulling away, going quiet, I no longer worry, I know the path back.

For I know I've spent too much time on things that leave me fragmented. Things that require passwords, logins, metrics, likes, tracking, notifications, optimisation argh.

I guided a Forest Bathing session the other day and watched an ant for about 30 minutes carry a very little twig across the earth. Nothing dramatic, just one small creature doing a creature thing. And a wakefulness rose in me, a presence, a love for everything around me.

It occurred to me that I usually teach Dharana (concentration) as discipline. It takes discipline to train the mind to focus. But what if it were less about discipline and effort and more about affection? Focusing our attention on one thing, without distraction is Loving what's here in front of us and leaves us in a state of union, connection, oneness, affectionate towards the world.

If you ever feel like you're losing interest, turn towards a relationship, person, your body, your breath, a project, art, food, the natural world, something real that you can touch, taste, smell and hold and devote yourself to it for however long you can and see that this is how we come back to wholeness.

I've been turning to poetry lately - it's been offering a kind of Hope. A way of disappearing into words, into the rearranging of thoughts, making something messy feel beautiful again. It feels like disappearing is a survival skill.

I've never taught yoga as a way of disappearing, escaping, tuning out. But maybe disappearing has been a part of it, maybe the practice rearranges us the way poetry does, making something messy feel beautiful again.

New KWY Class - Fluid Flow 🌀

Fluid Flow is a vinyasa practice shaped by the natural intelligence of the body, circles, spirals, waves, and gentle repetitions that bring you home to your fluid nature.

It’s movement inspired by fascia and somatics: intuitive, continuous, less rigid than traditional Hatha or Flow, and not as still as Embodied Yin. Think circling through joints, rolling, pulsing, soft waves through the spine, and movements that feel like they come from the inside out.

This class invites you to move in ways that feel nourishing rather than performative, a practice that listens, adapts, and flows.

For all levels. Expect to move from standing to the floor, spend time on hands and knees, and explore fluid pathways through the whole body. Music is a HUGE part of this experience, limited numbers so we have room to move.

Trialing this class on:

Thursday September 3rd 6-7:30pm &
Saturday September 5th 8:30-10am

Come and see how this practice feels in your body 🌀

Why so much effort if the goal is letting go?

The mind can’t let go on demand...we know this.
The heart can’t let go on demand...we know this all too well.

But the body can learn, the body remembers experiences it has.

The path of yoga is mostly effort (know this all too well ✌🏼) showing up, restraint, posture, breath, withdrawal, concentration. But it's not the goal, the goal is surrender.

'If the will has never been strengthened, there’s nothing of substance to release'. I remr er hearing this years ago and it not landing, it now lands.

Yoga shapes us, breath, body, mind into someone capable of letting go.

What does effort look like?
Showing up.

Returning to the mat when the mind is busy, when the heart is full, when the body feels heavy, when you’re tired, overwhelmed, hungover, human.
This is the strengthening of the will.

What does letting go look like?

The breath softening, the shoulders dropping, the jaw unclenching, the body remembering it doesn’t need to grip, telling the truth about what you're feeling and allowing it to be there, being kind to yourself, using energy wisely, releasing what isn't yours to carry.

Effort builds capacity.
Letting go completes the path.
Peace waits on the other side.
