Listen to and trust in you, your instinct – The Wild Woman – La Loba
‘How does Wild Woman affect women? With her as ally, as leader, model, teacher, we see not through two eyes, but through the eyes of intuition which is many-eyed. When we assert intuition, we are therefore like the stary night: we gaze at the world through a thousand eyes.’ Clarissa Pinkola Estés: Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Give love to you. It’s elementary. It’s not about deserving, it’s not about rights. It’s life, it’s love, it’s nature & creation. It is you.

Sardinian Broccoli Pasta – it’s yum
One of the great things I have found about group yoga classes, is that it is a wonderful way to meet new people and share in diverse cultures. One of my fellow Ashatanga yogini’s is Sardinian and she once prepared lunch for me after class. We went to her home where she made Broccoli Pasta and explained it’s frequently made back home, in Sardinia. I had never tried Broccoli with pasta before, but what I enjoyed about this meal, was that it was full of flavour, easy to make after a yoga class, needed few ingredients and was very wholesome….
Ryan Spielman Video on How to Jump back and Jump through
Really enjoyed Ryan Spielman’s short teaching video on how to jump back and jump through, which is a frequent part of Ashtanga vinyasa yoga. Yes, this technique is certainly a journey which may often lead to a shared grin between neighbouring yogini’s in class. Some call it flying and when you first experience the feeling of this technique working it certainly feels like that – albeit to ones surprise. Ryan shares three stages suitable for beginner to advanced level with both crossed and straight legs. The stages help to help build core and upper body strength, technique and enable the…

Bring What You Want (or nothing) and Take What You Want (or nothing)
A beautiful community love initiative is being met with great success in Buenos Aires. Titled, ‘Bring What You Want, Take What You Want’, it invites and allows people to share items they no longer use or need with others. This extends the life of the goods being traded and diminishes the incessant need to purchase new items and consumption via consumerism. The scheme enhances social interaction, drawing people out from within their local communities to talk and share with one another, strengthening trust and consideration. Tierramercica media reports (8th September 2013): ‘Disillusioned with an economy that promotes individualism and ruthless…

Giving Love to You
Wisdom lies in finding your own truth – Series 2 Am often inspired by things I read which cause me to reflect upon what is being shared. The most reflective pieces are usually those written from a writer’s heart; when they share their own truth – and Jamie Catto’s blog recently did just that. It led me to reflect upon giving love to oneself. Through life there is often much focus upon pleasing others. Perhaps this begins in early childhood. When we make our loved ones laugh, or we do what they ask of us – they are happy, they…
