Guiding my students to cultivate strength, flexibility, balance and an openness to wander through powerful vinyasa and restorative classes with intention.

instant illumination
rarely happens.
your tiny revelations
will seep in
stitch by stitch.
rest the reaching.
- Victoria Erickson, Writer

I’ve just taught my last class for a few weeks before travelling to visit my Mum, and I find myself in a place of deep contemplation. This year has been testing! No one has been immune to the rubs, nudges and tests the Universe has been delivering!

These words were a reminder for me this morning to have faith in the process - to “rest the reaching” for illumination and instead trust that, stitch by stitch, the revelations will seep in.

I’m already missing teaching, but I know I’ll be back with fresh insights when I return ✨

your task
is not to seek
for love,
but merely
to seek
and find
all the
barriers
within
yourself
that you
have built
against it.

- C O U R A G E -
it takes
great
courage
to choose
to dive deep
into the depths
of your
self.
to navigate
through
the shadow
laden
valleys
and the
murky
waters.
to come
face to face
with your
shadows,
and choose
to love
and accept
them
for all they’ve
helped to
illuminate.

it takes
courage
to stop
running,
numbing,
or hiding
from what’s
really calling
to be
heard.
to stop
and listen
to your
internal
rumblings
and take
heed,
and action
where necessary,
from the messages
you uncover.

it takes
courage,
but also
a great deal
of faith
in that
agreeing
to journey
deeper into
your self
will also
allow you
to touch
moments
of pure bliss
here on Earth -
should you learn
to listen to
the whispers
of your
inner guide.
the one
that lies
patiently
beneath
the layers
of your
conditionings,
just hoping
that you will
have the
courage
to navigate
through
the troubled
waters
with faith
that you are
always
supported
along your
travels
back
home.

I wish someone
had of told me
that the answers
I was so
desperately
seeking
could be found
by turning inward.
that every piece
of worth
I’d been
striving
so hard
to attain,
was already
waiting patiently
within me.
that every time
I felt lonely,
lost,
worthless,
stuck,
fearful,
and ashamed,
was actually
an invitation
to turn inward
and reclaim
the love I’d
forgotten.
that my
greatest guide
is always waiting
patiently
for me to sit
in the quiet
and breath
myself full
again.
that she is
always there,
just hoping
that I might listen
for long enough
to be inspired
to deliver
the messages
she has
to share
with the
outside
world.

If someone had of told me years ago, that I would uncover such profound moments of joy, contentment, trust and deep gratitude through sitting in meditation, I would have laughed as hard as I am in this photo!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My story - I can’t sit still for long enough, I NEED to be active in order to clear my mind of troubling thoughts, I’m terrible at meditation because my mind is so busy and as such, I never receive any benefits from meditation, it’s simply a waste of time for me! ⁣
⁣
Oh how wrong I was! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m so grateful for all the teachings I’ve received over the years that have helped me to break down my stories about meditation, and can finally say, I’m HOOKED! I can honestly say that I owe a big part of my pull towards meditation to my dear friend Kirsten Nielsen - she has inspired me through her own consistent practice, and witnessing how powerful her meditation practice has been in shifting her perception has lead me to forge a consistent daily practice of sitting in meditation!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This is why I’m so passionate about the release of her first online series - Deep Listening - A beginners guide to meditation. I have watched her pour her heart and soul into this project and know it is going to help transform the lives of many. If you’re keen to try it, you can use the code SARAHLOVESTOMEDITATE at checkout for 20% off until this Sunday!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It is my wish that every human in this world is able to touch base with the part of themselves that enables them to feel a sense of peace even in the most turbulent of waters 🙏🏼

“life operates
according to
a genius
that is beyond
a linear approach.
it is to be
trusted,
rather than
understood.
don’t let
fear
that your
desire
won’t manifest
cause you to
bend life
to your will.
it is an
unnecessary
battle,
and one
that will not
serve
your soul
here.
instead,
just show up;
be present.
attend to
what is
before you
and trust
yourself.”
- Alana Fairchild, Rumi Oracle

Feeling these words this Full Moon cycle. I’m so grateful for every moment I’ve allowed life to lead, and for the blessings it’s bought. Here’s to trusting in my soul’s yearnings, and allowing life to move me 🔥

the art of
letting go
is not
mastering
the ability
to completely
clear or discard
of any thoughts,
memories,
or emotions
that are leading
to your suffering.
it is a practice
of being able
to come back
to your
centre of peace,
time and
time again,
while witnessing
what used to cause
you to suffer.
it is a process
of learning
to lovingly
hold yourself
through these times,
while understanding,
that this too
shall pass,
and perhaps
realising,
that it
already has.
it is an art
that takes
practice
to master,
and a practice
of processing
that will
begin to
set you
free.

the meaning
of life
is just
to be alive.
it is so plain
and so obvious
and so simple.
and yet,
everybody
rushes around
in a great panic
as if it were
necessary
to achieve
something
beyond
themselves.
- Alan Watts

I hope you’re able to take this time as an opportunity to discover/honour what is most important 🖤

spanda
[noun] sanskrit
🌀
The inherent creative vibration of Universal energy as it moves into and manifests as vibrant form. That vibration is present in every natural form. It whispers, breathes and pulses in the depths of our being, and is always yearning to be felt, expressed and made manifest.

When we learn to tune into this inherent energy, and move from it, rather than from our mind’s “stuff”, we are able to flow WITH the current of life. It is from this space that we will be able to truely experience the magic that is always waiting to be uncovered, felt, heard, tasted and seen.

After a week of deep diving into understanding the art of moving with spanda from the incredible Shiva Rea, I feel so inspired to continue to encourage my students to tap into what is yearning to be felt and moved through in their practice.

I’m so excited to come back to teach my regular classes this week with my cup overflowing! You can find me teaching at:
Ritual Palm Beach this morning at 9am
Soul Centre - Monday, 4.30pm and 5.40pm
Ritual - Tuesday, 6am and 8.15am
Soul Centre - Thursday, 8.15am and 9.30am
Yogaventures - Thursday, 4.15pm and 5.30pm

may we all
have the
courage
to answer
the callings
that have
been beckoning
us forward,
to let go
of anything
that is no longer
serving us,
and to
trust
that we are
supported
every step
of the way.

I am so excited to be teaching my first classes at Yogaventures tomorrow afternoon (4.15pm flow + chill & 5.30pm chill). Emma has created a beautiful yoga sanctuary in the heart of Coolangatta, and I feel honoured to be a part of the incredible community of yogis she has brought together to spread their love for this practice.

Hope to see some of your familiar faces in the room ✨

what if life
wasn’t to
be lived
for the purpose
of proving
our worth,
achieving
success,
or accumulating
possessions,
but purely
to test
our capacity
to love
and
be loved?
for us to
remember
that we are
love.
that it is
our birthright
to love
and
be loved!
what if
all we really
did need
was
love?
would we
approach life
differently?
would we
be putting down
our phones
and appreciating
the moments
we have with
the ones
who fill us
with love?
would we
make more
love,
and less
war?
would we be
more selfless?
and less concerned
about ourselves?
would we
love harder,
and surrender
to whatever
lessons
may come
with it -
for the pure
realisation
that it is far greater
to have loved
and lost,
and felt
the pangs
of grief,
sorrow,
heartache,
and fear,
than to never
have loved
at all!
