Confession: Me, someone who lives on the deeper side of life, has been doing my favorite movement on autopilot for YEARS without fully understanding its deeper, traditional meaning 🙃

How is that possible?

Let’s dive into it.

Traditionally, classical Hatha sun salutations were practiced to invoke the presence of the Lord Sun 🌞

The sun is the source of all energy.
The sun is the soul of all energy.

By practicing sun salutations, we are asking that divine light to illuminate our being - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually

In the old lineages, this was done at sunrise, facing East, as an offering...

A way of saying:

I see the source of life, and I recognize that same source moving through me, and energizing all parts of me ✨

And when we fold forward in this sequence? That’s actually an act of surrender 🙇

Surrendering to the source of life itself

Physically speaking, it is literally my favorite way to warm up my body and bring movement to all the muscles and joints before diving into more challenging postures

But damn, I’m obsessed with the traditional perspective of these movements 💛

Here’s the best part:

Each posture has its own mantra too (perfectly synced up with the audio here actually)

Together they honor 12 different names and attributes of the Lord Sun, which is exactly what turns this whole sequence into a spiritual practice of gratitude and awakening the life force within ⚡️

How cool is that?

Love,
Sana

P.S I’m actually practicing a variation here, with the arms lifted in Ardha Chandrasana (aka half moon posture). Classically, the hands stay on either side of the front heel in a posture called Ashwa Sanchalanasana (aka horse riding posture aka low lunge) 🫶

This is what saying yes to meeting up with a stranger form the internet looks like

Thank you for the gorgeous shots Rishikesh yoga photography 🙏🏼✨

“Everyone wants to be the yoga teacher. Nobody wants to be the student”👇

That’s what my teacher said to me on my very first day here

I recognize truth in that tbh

The yoga world is getting more diluted, more disconnected from its roots

It’s such an honor to be here and studying under an absolute legend 🤓🧘‍♀️

Where everything is sacred and intentional - just how I like it!

Where the teachings have been passed down for generations.

Where you can feel it’s coming from the heart, not a performance for likes and going viral.

This week he keeps saying the same thing in different ways: there is no shortcut to success

We just keep climbing up the mountain. Toward becoming a great teacher, a great student, a great whatever-it-is-you’re-becoming

Most people hit obstacles on the way and quit. The discipline isn’t there, so we go looking for the quick fix and shortcuts instead

But if we stay on the path - persistently taking the action, over a long period of time, with loving devotion…

Where we surrender ourselves completely in the process and put our trust and faith in the higher forces at play (in yoga this is called ‘ishvara pranidhana’)…

You will get to where you want to go.

I think this applies to everything in life and I think it’s a very beautiful way to think about things ❤️

What do you think, is this too woo-woo for you? 😌

Love,
Sana

I feel like I’m the best version of myself when I’m learning, growing and putting myself out there in these uncomfortable situations

And I know that it makes me a WAY better teacher

To be able to teach from a place of inspiration, creativity, and pure love and joy for the gorgeous practice of yoga

For so many people out there the practise is mostly physical

I believe that’s the perfect starting point and it’s how many people find yoga - because they want to feel better in their body

But when you dive deeper into the actual practise and allow yourself to fully immerse, you find out there’s an entire world WITHIN for you to tap into

🌍 It’s a world where you learn about your mind and the same patterns it’s been repeating for decades that’s keeping you stuck

🌍 It’s a world where you face the things that bring you discomfort head on and rise from that

🌍 It’s a world that fine tunes your awareness so you can move through life with more presence in the moment with yourself and your loved ones instead of living in your head 24/7

🌍 It’s a world that teaches you step by step how to move away from a feeling of suffering in your own life so you can feel content and joy everyday

🌍 It’s a practice that feeds your mind a nutritious meal everyday and keeps it healthy away from stress and dis-ease

A practice that, if you surrender to it fully, unlocks parts of you that feel genuine joy, content and bliss

Through this journey I’ve learned that it’s all in there waiting to be accessed

You just have to create that *space* for yourself to actually connect with it

I’ll end this little post with something my teacher said yesterday

“To be a great teacher, first you have to be a great student”

Do you agree? ❤️

Love,
Sana

Turns out the least flexible person in the room had the most to learn from this practice… just not in the way I expected

More on this soon 👀

Confession: I’ve been so deep in my own head about what “showing up” is even supposed to look like anymore

I’ve been a bit lost in the noise of the online world and other people’s opinions

And I think along the way I started to feel disconnected from my own voice.

Thinking that maybe it’s not as good as all the perfect AI content + perfectly scripted reels we see out there nowadays

So I’ve actually spent a lot of time by myself this past month, connecting to the stuff that always lit me up:

🌿 Studying yogic philosophy with my teachers from India

🚶‍♀️ Starting my mornings from home and walking for 90 mins to 2 hours on my walking pad while doing the above, instead of heading straight out for my morning beach walk

🧘‍♀️ Having a morning yoga and meditation practice

Trying to reconnect with what it is that actually matters to me and what I want to share

I don’t have this all figured out. I’m still introspecting, still reevaluating, still very much in it.

But I decided today is as good a day as any to show up even if it’s messy

Goal: let the real stuff lead again, instead of the algorithm

And at the same time, I’m building something in the background that actually stems from why this is important to me, and my real why for wanting to share yoga

So that has been exciting!

Looking forward to sharing more with you as the days go on 💞

Love,
Sana

Another amazing women’s retreat in the bag and I honestly don’t have the words yet 💚

I was asked what my top moments were so I’ve been sitting with that question and here’s what keeps coming back to me.

In no particular order.

👯‍♀️ Hearing the women talk to each other before it even began. the initial pre-retreat introductions. a bit apprehensive, uncertain, nervous energy in the room. I love that bit. because I love watching how quickly it changes

🌝 Going to bed at 8.30 every night and lying there hearing laughter from the common area. every single night

🎨 The way the room went SO quiet during our expressive art workshop. everyone channeling a deeper part of themselves. so focused, so present. there was something so sacred in that silence

🌀 A hip releasing sequence I learned in India bringing someone to tears (just as it did me when I first experienced it)… as something that had been trapped just... let go. I love witnessing that kind of deep release we didn’t know we needed. it’s the best kind

🪬 The opening ceremony where 10 strangers shared their stories out loud to people they’d just met minutes before. the vulnerability, openness and trust always gets me

🥹 And then the closing ceremony where those same strangers leaving as sisters. I can’t explain how it happens. I just know it happens every time. one of the ladies even said “for the first time in my life I feel like I have sisters” 😭

⚡️The chanting. every day. hearing the vibrations get deeper and more resonant as the days went on. watching how everyone felt the depth of these ancient words and sounds 🙏🏽

💚 And of course, the moments of release that came for every single woman, at different times, in different ways. a breath, a posture, a conversation. and when it came, the tears came with it. The good kind

👯‍♀️ And as always, the connection between the women

People keep telling me my retreats seem to attract a special group of ladies. and I don’t know how to explain it. But it does

So I guess thank you (again) to the algorithm for showing my retreat to all the right ladies 😂🙏🏽

Grateful doesn’t even cover it ✨🪄

See you at the next one

Love,
Sana

Sometimes the most life-changing decisions are the ones you make on a complete whim…

With no idea of what you’re walking into…

Just a feeling that says… YES. this.

I think about that a lot.

Because that one impulsive yes - to me completing a yoga teacher training having absolutely NO idea what I was jumping into…

Didn’t just change my life.

It gave me a purpose I didn’t know I was looking for.

And eventually… it led me to create something powerful for the person who is exactly where I was.

The one who is so capable and driven, yet quietly running on empty

I am now on the other side of it. And it feels soooo good to be able to offer that to you 🥹

To think some of them almost didn’t come… 🙈

And every single one of them told me afterwards that they were SO glad they did 🤩

This is what happens when you give yourself four intentional days to stop

Not just slow down, but properly stop.

To be taken care of.

To be surrounded by women who get it.

To let the practices do what they’re designed to do.

When you say YES to my 4-Day Soul Awakening Yoga Retreat…

You’re saying yes to four days that will leave you feeling more rested, more clear and more like yourself than you have in a long time

You don’t have to take my word for it…

The transformations the ladies shared with me afterwards speak for themselves 👆🏽

And this is just a small glimpse of something far greater

Women have cried tears of release in sound healing.

Laughed harder than they have in years.

Made friendships they didn’t expect.

Gone home sleeping properly for the first time in months.

And most importantly, they felt at peace, relaxed and ready for whatever came next for them.

This isn’t just a trendy, ‘nice experience.’

These are real women who chose themselves for four days and came home completely different for it

And now it’s your turn.

Ready to shift your state from depleted to completely restored? 💗

ATTN: Busy women who are desperately overdue a proper recharge 👇

Let me tell you why my 4-day women’s yoga retreat might be exactly what you’ve been needing

I’ve been running this retreat for a few years now…

And the one thing that stays consistent - every single time - is what happens to the women who show up

They arrive exhausted. Mentally full. Running on autopilot.

Some of them haven’t properly stopped in months.

Some of them can’t even remember the last time they did something just for themselves.

And then these four days happens.

And this is what they tell me after:

🌟 “Exhausted and overwhelmed when I arrived. Lighter, rested and ready to face my new chapter when I left”

🌟 “This was one of the most memorable and positive experiences I have had in my life”

🌟 “The energy was pure girl power - uplifting, supportive and filled with so much love. Everyone held space for one another and that collective strength made the experience even more meaningful”

🌟 “I am so glad I joined. Now that I’m back I feel so happy - my heart and soul are full. It was soul enriching in every way and I’ll be carrying these memories with me forever”

If you’re watching this reel thinking “I could really use something like this”… then this is for you.

This is what the four days looks like 👆 and this is what’s waiting for you on the other side of it.

Don’t wait for peace and joy to magically appear at your doorstep cause it won’t

This is your chance to create it for yourself

And I promise you, you’ll find it here 💚

P.S. The first few rooms were already claimed by returning guests before I even announced this publicly. If your heart feels pulled towards this, take the leap. Don’t let this be the thing you almost did
