Hello loves,
As I write this I have drunk my Cacao and am watching the dawn break in Dublin. It’s a beautiful morning, still 13 degrees and lots of blue and orange in the sky. Yesterday in the park we had so many reminders of Mother earth supporting us. The sky was slightly grey but bountiful in gifts of warmth and calm. The ground was soft and the feeling of lying in Savasana was amazing. The leaves under us provided a cushioned layer.
Recently in class I have been playing a song called Decision for Savasana. It’s a beautiful song by a Brazilian artist called Silvio Piesco. He’s an artist who spans music, visual art and photography, all these disciplines for a curious mind. Some-one who deep dives into lots of creative spaces. The song is a lesson in choice. In how you greet each day. You have a decision to make with each breath, each movement, each word, each way you spend your energy. Have a listen, let me know what you think.
At the start of each day we all have a decision, with that first morning breath you can choose the day you are going to have. Let your first words and thoughts be kind, be of love, be of compassion. The early morning hours are a calling to make the journey back to your inner self. In ancient times (and if you come on a yoga retreat with me) people would rise early, bathe, perform ritual, recite mantra and meditate. When my kids were young each morning I would cuddle them and tell them to wash away the night from their bodies, they still remember this. Then in the evening the ancients would wash away the day’s fatigue and meditate some more.
Sunday December 04th will echo this evening energy. The yoga class will be about devotion and introspection. Praising the sun, the wind, the fire, the rain. We will honour the seasons, the cycles of day, birth, death and rebirth. The Cacao ceremony will ignite your inner fire and allow you space to create what 2023 looks like for you. The food you eat and the conversations that flow will all be in a safe held space where you will hopefully feel totally sustained and held for the entire day and beyond.
Each class I teach, each event I curate, each retreat I design it is with the intent of sharing love, I hope you feel this love.
