Being a human being. To me it’s not always a simple thing. The yearning to connect and feel myself as part of something bigger and the simultaneous desire to fully understand myself as an individual unique soul. The other night when I was reading myself to sleep, I found deep sense of resonance in these words by mark nepo.

I wonder, do they make sense to you too?

The strange but liberating dynamic of being, one makes the other possible: When we admit who we are (when we declare and own our gifts alike), we then admit who we are (we let in the deeper source or aliveness).

This seems to work like an inlet between the small pool of being we call the soul and the ocean we call Spirit.

When we can admit who we are , in either sense, and give voice and on what lives inside us, that very act opens us like an inlet and lets the depths of all being rush in.

In a fundamental way, it is this exchange of waters between the small pool of our soul and the ocean of Spirit that keeps us alive. Is is here that all transformation begins.

Your heart.
Your heart feels the world into reality. Speaking in a language older than thought, a field of energy that reaches beyond skin, into the room, into everyone near you.

One look and you feel the heart of another. Close the eyes for three breaths and you feel yourself deeper. The heart knows its way of listening like no other force.

The spirit of the heart is called Shen. As the most Yang spirit, its energy is flickering like fire: hyperalert, ever-present and instantly responsive. It’s your soul consciousness and the indescribable glimmer that makes you YOU. Shen returns to the heaven the instant you’re shocked, emotionally overwhelmed or overly excited.

When Shen leaves, so does our clarity, our capacity for connection, our sense of meaning.

We can bring Shen back home by offering it a still place to land. By closing your eyes intentionally and drawing the awareness back to the heart.

Join me on Thursday 16th for a homecoming practice.

FINDING STILLNESS
A Yin Yoga Workshop ~ Shen, the Spirit of the Heart

When we consciously choose to give our nervous system a break,
we allow our entire system to recalibrate.

Less stimulation and less information,
nothingness is the soil where somethingness can grow.

In this 90-minute workshop we’ll explore the wisdom of Shen, the spirit of the heart. How we tend to lose the connection with our hearts when something sudden happens in life, and the ways of bringing our soul back into the body through finding stillness.  
Weaving theory, acupressure, yin postures and somatic awareness into a practice that supports you to hold yourself andbeing in your world, without burning out.

Happy Solstice & Midsummer! Welcome to the fire season and the peak of Yang Qi. ❤️‍🔥

Here’s a hug for you 🫂 if you’re not quite able to lean in to the intensity, if you’re going through challenges that seem to draw you back inside. Or if it’s just a little too much at the same time and you’re inviting more ease to your days.

It may feel wrong to want to turn inward this time. Because… Summer is the apex of expression.
SUN ☀️ HEAT ☀️ FULLNESS

The season of connection, outward going energy and it is time … to be seen. To laugh together.

What if you don’t feel like dancing right now?
I hear you.

We have been moving countless times in the last six months, depleting our earth element and the fire seems to need more containment in order to not burn the whole world up.

I find that time in/with water helps.
Time and space where nothing needs to happen, helps too. Empty space.

Sleep and nourishment.
Watermelon 🍉
Patience.

Connecting with people with whom I can be fully myself, relationships built on trust. It doesn’t mean no disagreement, but enough room for each heart to be heard without judgment.

And then.. moments to appreciate summer in her fullest beauty. The grace of feeling the sun against the skin. The gift of smelling the grass, flowers and sunwarm stones.

Listening to the breeze and the bees. 🐝

Tell me, what are your summer remedies?

Your heart has been beating since 22 days after conception and will not stop until the moment of death.

The heart is seen as the governor of the body, the Supreme controller. Without the heart, the rhythm of life is silence.

At its center is a void. Emptiness (wu). A space that must be protected so the spirit of the heart, the Shen, has a home.

The heart does this through wu wei, effortless action. Knowing when to act and when to be still. And the heart’s gate keepers: the small intestine, the pericardium and the triple burner. Energetically, they help discern what’s yours and what’s not. What and who gets to come all the way in, and touch the heart.

Summer is the peak of Yang energy. Can you feel it?
Heat, intensity and being pulled from our nests out into the world. The Fire season asks us to find balance between connection, space and boundaries.

Join me for a Yin Yoga journey exploring the fire element and the gatekeepers of the heart.

Thursday, June 18th

Did you know that your heart can hold paradoxes, and still, it knows your deepest truth at all times?

If you’ve struggled with setting boundaries or if you feel transparent in this wild world we live in, you’re not alone.

The fire season opens the door to your heart, it swirls in with flames of impermanence and expansive heat that yearns to holds you accountable for living life fully.

You are invited to join me in a Yin Yoga Journey on June 18th, where we will explore the energetic qualities of the heart and the meridians connected to the fire element.

The fire element in TCM governs the heart, joy, and our capacity for connection. Summer is when it peaks — and when we feel its excess most clearly. Learning to tend that fire rather than be consumed by it changes everything.

The longing to be together with others. The longing to return to yourself. Fire needs space, connection and boundaries to thrive.

The calm joy of simply being lives in the cave of the heart. This is your invitation to meet yourself exactly there.

Hope to see you there ❤️‍🔥

If you’re able to be with the ones you love, travel freely and feel safe where you are - you have privilege in this life.

Feeling deeply with everyone who is not.

I know I have so much more luck than the majority of people being shuffled around on this earth by man-made rules of separation and injustice. Still, after nine months of figuring out where to land softly, the path keeps changing.

Two days ago we were informed of a new rule: applicants of a visa status change have to leave the country. So here we are, breathing in the unknown again, because the love of my life and I are from different countries.

In an ongoing practice of attuning the concept of ‘home’ back to the heart, again and again.

As we’re trying to figure out,

where to go next.

I wonder what this world would look like if we were taught to celebrate vulnerability from an early age. I wonder how our lives would be different if we allowed ourselves to play more, express our love more, share more intimately about what we’re struggling with and talk about the small ordinary things we love.

To me, courage is to drink the day in and be all in for it, wherever and however we are. Because this is already it. And I know, it’s not always that easy.

The wood-fire bridge is happening in nature right now, as the season is shifting from spring to summer. This is the natural world extending itself from fullness to fullness without hesitation. Blossoming is courageous, its the seed giving it all to this one life just because it can, instead of waiting in the dark soil.

When your acting with clear direction, hope and a willingness to grow (wood qualities) toward a vision that is aligned with the hearts truth (fire element) —> courage comes alive.

The moment after a courageous act can feel like sweet completion, a purr of satisfaction around the heart. In that very moment it doesn’t matter what happens next.

🪻

Join me tomorrow for a Yin Journey into the wood-fire bridge and courage.
Thursday 18th, 19:00-20:30 CEST

Weaving acupressure, somatic practices for nervous system support and guided meditation into a Yin journey to hold you through the fire season without burning out.

I believe that yoga practiced TOGETHER hits different than solo practices. It guides us towards ourselves in a shared space where our nervous systems are mirrors, and there is a possibility for co-regulation.

If you feel comfortable with your teacher and who or what is in the room, chances are you are able to sink deeper into yourself. And as facilitators, we can soften the pressure of delivering “the right thing” because it’s more important to be present with the space exactly as we are. Then we can be felt, and that is what brings relaxation in connection.

The shared physical yoga spaces is what I’ve missed the most the last few months. Even through, that feeling of togetherness has been coming back since we started gathering online. It’s a privilege and a gift to be able meet in practice.

If you have joined any of my online classes lately - THANK YOU for being here!!! It is such a joy to share yoga again. 🪶
