The only voice you need in your head is your heart. ❤️ Heart centered practices are at the core of what I practice and offer and form the basis for @_ritualretreats_
When you take time out of your daily live to immerse yourself in culture, yoga practice, and self-care practices often what happens is an experience of a deeper connection to yourself, your intuition and the ability to listen to and follow your heart. I followed my heart to Bali a few years back and found it to be one of the most sacred lands for healing and transformation. Rich in a culture of devotion and service Bali holds a special energy (not to mention the food is epicccccc 😍). This is why I take a group each year to Ubud (fun fact, I have lived there in the past!) for a Ritual Retreat. We immerse ourselves into yoga, culture and self care amongst the luscious rice patties of Ubud. If you need time out for you to reconnect, re-center and develop some new healthy habits then join us! Space is filling up for July 2020 next year. Click the link in my bio for more or send me a DM. I would love to share this experience with you 🙏

The practice of yoga doesn’t allow you to hide from yourself. In the words of the great Bhagavad-Gita, “Yoga is a journey to the self through the self”. The complexity lies in the fact that we have always had this deeper connection inwards and have always known the answers, we have just forgotten. The practice is the process of remembering and subsequently forgetting and remembering again. And once you know something, you can't ‘unknow it’. - words from my recent article with @lululemonausnz ❤️ May this week be a reminder. And if you’ve forgotten, do something that connects you back to you. Sometimes we need a little help from a friend. 🙏 📷 @eyesofanomad #thesweatlife #lululemonambassador

Trust the timing of your life. It’s one of the hardest and most consistent lessons I continue to learn. Surrender to the flow over and over without the perceived need to force or control. My practice is to be intentional with my actions and surrender the attachment to the outcome. Let the idea of it go... and trust. ✨

Gazing into the ocean of possibility, the space of limitless potential. Where anything is plausible if you can completely surrender into the flow. Void of your attachments, full in your heart. Open. Free. Willing. 📷 @eyesofanomad

The modern western mind revels in process and forward moving momentum towards mastery. This often creates a narrow pathway with a linear progression. The path of the heart (or spiritual path) is long and windy. It pulsates, expands and contracts (referred to as a spanda) and then repeats. Neither pathway is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. They simply are what they are. Ultimately we are are all climbing the same mountain, just taking a variety of roads to get there. Maybe in this life time we choose the path of least resistance, maybe the road is long and windy. It doesn’t really matter what you choose, so long as you choose! Evolution is inevitable but growth is optional. I believe if you choose the path that you believe aligns with the calling of your heart and then stay open to how it unfolds life gets a whole lot brighter ✨

As a teacher I can only share my practice, from my own direct experience, from my heart. This to me is the most authentic way to show up for my students. ❤️
It’s been an honor to share space with @exaltoflow this weekend on the Sunshine Coast. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came with an open heart and mind to spend the weekend with me. I will definitely be back 🙏 thanks for having me @exaltoflow @nicholaspainyoga ❤️ 📸 rocking the #exaltopose 🙊

Community ♾ coming together in connection, in support, in celebration and in collaboration for a shared experience of one of the many facets of what it means to be human.

Creating community is one of the most revierred and treasured aspect to what I do here in the world. Something truly magical happens when we stripback the barriers to connection. ✨

Last night was exactly that. 70 beautiful beings coming together under a full moon to practice yoga and meditation with a live sound bath followed by a feast. A huge thank you to the team at @greenfieldsalbertpark for helping me turn this little idea for a community practice into something that’s 3 years deep! Thank you to @another_yogi @cosmicsoundexplorer for co-creating magical moments with me. It’s an honor to collaborate with you both. ✨ We’re back September 8th for a Sunday session 🙌

When you’re stressed, with a full mind, restless body and unhappy hormones chances are your yin is out of balance. Yin in Eastern medicines is the deeper quiet nourishment our mind and bodies need to feel centred, calm and connect with our inner selves and purpose. When our Yin is nourished we feel a sense of balance, our aches reduce, our minds stop racing and our productivity becomes focused and clear. This is one of the reasons why @drabbieacupuncture and I came together to create @skinandyin ❤️ a luxury retreat weekend, with very limited numbers to insure a highly personalized experience. Compete with daily yoga and meditation, cosmetic acupuncture treatments, a private chef, bespoke accommodation, special goodie bags featuring some of our favs from (@cleanseandco @thefitzroynaturopath and more!) and plenty of time to relax it’s the weekend that keeps on giving. ❤️ space is limited. Head to skinandyin.com to secure your spot for our October dates 11-13th. You’ll leave feeling less stressed, with glowing skin and a more grounded outlook on life. Join us for this truly unique experience of self care. You deserve it. ❤️ #yin #retreat #selfcare

The beautiful, twisted and sometimes complicated dance of forgetting and remembering. In your heart you know your true nature. You know you are not bound by the story of who you think you are. You know who you are. The complexity lies in our uncanny habit of forgetting. Knowing must be experienced from a place beyond the intellectual mind. A space where we can connect to and reveal grace. Don’t fall into the illusion of separation, remember. Remember who and what you are, even if just for a moment. And when you forget, remember again. And so the story goes… 📸 @_in_the_flow_
