Fully charged with Shakti after a week in Santorini with Shiva and the tribe the class i taught at the NYSY studio in Athens was full of willing Yogis to dive in and flow along the river of bliss, thank you to all who came, i hope to see you again down the road! Brighton is happening as always in the summer, it was a little disorientating at first being back in a westernised country, understanding conversations in the street and being on familiar grounds navigating my way around the streets and public transport again. My weekly classes started of with small numbers and i have had a busy 2 weeks of private 1 2 1 yoga sessions which has given me confirmation that this is the right thing to do. The workshop "Exploring Softness and Power in Flow Yoga" was very transformational, more so then i had intended. Leading up to it we got double booked at two different studios and ended up at the top floor at the Ramada Hotel along the sea front with a full view of the sea and the sun light streaming in! It was a beautiful and warm day with clear skies and no breeze, a perfect day for yoga! The small group that came to the workshop were extremely receptive and willing to explore their own internal Softness/ Lasya and transmit and experience this within movement and Yoga, on the opposite end of the scale they were also very empowered when experiencing and expressing Power/ Tandava within Yoga. The feed back included - "Thank you for teaching the softness and the power of flow yoga in front of the Ocean LOVED IT! learned so much and my body has opened". I am grateful to be able to use my time here to the best of my ability and i am learning new things each and everyday. So for now the weekly classes are rolling in and so are the 1 2 1 private yoga sessions. Happy sunshine and summer to all!

It took a few days to aclimatise to the weather in the UK and we experienced rain for the first time in what felt like months! The coolness of the air was refreshing but also cold, it was time to layer up and ignite the fire within. I  offered a 1 hour taste of Vinyasa flow yoga which was coated with groovin beats and deep hip openers. The sun was out and we ended with a picnic at the Pavilion gardens soaking up the warmth and relaxing our muscles. A few days later i spent 5 days in London assisting Shiva during a teacher training flow which was great! With a strong team of assistance we were present each step of the way through the groups learning process, Shiva was sharing her wisdom and teachings reminded us to beigin where we are and not to push the river as it will flow on its own. On the eve of the solstice we danced to a wide range of beats during Yoga Trance Dance and i honestly can not remember the last time i have moved and danced as much as i did on this night! The energy was super high and i felt so agile and free, celebrating a peak of the seasons with a ecstatic dance as ritual. Leaving London and making a transition to Greece to explore Athens and chill at the Radical Relaxation Retreat in Santorini.. Santorini, an island formed by the culdera of the volcano, a powerful and high vibrational spot on this earth, its so sacred and embodies the fullness expansion and transformation. During this week long retreat with Shiva and the tribe, each day we rose early to meditate then moved into our Yoga practice. I felt so honored to assist during this retreat as there were many shifts happening on many levels for everyone, opening and releasing on the edge of the volcano, truely a spectacular view. We went sailing into the culdera, smothered ourselves with the healing red mud and walked up the rocky terrain of what was left of the core. We danced our prayers during sunrise and nourished our dreams at sunset, our days were full of laughter and jumping photos, walking down 250 steps to meet the ocean and swimming in the vastness of the deep blue healing ocean. Santorini is a place of exquisid magic, its a place where you cant hide from your own inner power as your solar plexus opens to the sky a smile creeps up on your lips and your hooked. Time to catch the ferry back to Athens and share this Shakti power with the NYSY studio as i am subbing Vivi class while she is on retreat. BOOM SHIVA!
