The last Festvial of my summer season in the uk, and it’s such a joy and an honour to share amongst such friends Green Earth Awakening

I’ll be sharing The Heart of Yoga practice as shared by my teacher Mark Whitwell • Heart Of Yoga and then going deeper in our relationship with our bodies through my second workshop, Union In Motion.

Our bodies are our instruments, to play and dance in life, but also to enquire and learn. Our bodies can be our battles fields as well as our heaven. All of it valid, real, and worthy to be explored. Would you like to explore together? Side by side we enquire and support. With love, honesty and kindness.

See you soon my dears ###xx

I keep coming back to this.

Homeostasis.

Not as a fixed state of calm.
Not as somewhere I finally arrive and remain.

But as the continual movement of coming home.

With every exhale, with a slight audible hum in my heart, I feel myself return.

Back into my body.
Back towards softness.
Back towards listening.

Regulating. Loving. Supporting life.

This beautiful piece came through my reflections on the work of Ryan Lee Jones, who generously shared his work with me. Thank you Ryan, for offering another way of seeing something I have been feeling and practising for so long.

The further I move away from myself, the more I can feel what begins to appear.

Arrogance. Entitlement. Selfishness. Greed.

Not as things to judge or reject, but perhaps as signals.

Little messengers letting me know…

Ana, come home.

And so I breathe.

The exhale lengthens.
A gentle hum vibrates through my heart.
The body softens.

And slowly I spiral inward.

Towards attention.
Compassion.
Support.
Tenderness.
Empathy.
Softness.
Humility.

Towards love.

This is becoming such an important part of how I understand the Heart of Yoga and Ta**ra.

The practice is not about holding ourselves permanently in some perfect, peaceful state.

Life will move us.

We will contract and expand. Become activated and settle. Lose ourselves and find ourselves. Move outward and return inward.

The practice is learning to feel when we have moved away from centre… and knowing the way home.

And perhaps, with practice, we don’t have to travel quite so far before we remember.

A breath.

An exhale.

A hum.

A hand on the heart.

The earth beneath our feet.

Again and again, returning.

Not trying to become something.

Simply remembering what is already here.

I’ve been quiet here for a while.

Not intentionally, really.
Life has simply been asking me to be somewhere else.

This summer has been one of creating, flourishing, dissolving… and beginning again.

Lean in Nature.
Buddhafields.
Rumble.
A little space for myself at Emerging Hearts.

Arriving on empty land and watching something come alive. Building from the ground up. Giving my energy and my heart. Sharing practice with the beautiful beings who arrive. Watching community form, flourish, dance, love, struggle, open…

And then taking it all down again.

Creation and dissolution.
Again and again.

And somewhere amongst all of that, I realised that this has been my practice all summer.

Coming home.

Coming back into my body.
Back to my heart.
Back to the earth beneath my feet.
Back to what is actually here.

Because I lose myself too.

My energy comes up and out. I get swept into the doing, the urgency, the responsibility, the noise. Sometimes a little. Sometimes a lot.

It is hard to stay regulated in a dysregulated world.

It is hard to remain anchored amongst so much change, anxiety, fear, speed and urgency.

And yes… I have been caught in the whirlwind many times.

But perhaps the practice was never about not getting swept away.

Perhaps the practice is simply noticing.

And returning.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Each time I come back to myself, that pathway home feels a little stronger. The remembering comes a little sooner.

Right here, right now, I find myself in a moment of pause.

About to embark on my biggest challenge of the summer yet — the biggest festival I am involved in.

And perhaps everything until now has been preparing me for what comes next.

Or perhaps not.

All I can really do is be me.

Be here.

Be now.

This morning I opened my book, and these words from Osho were simply there:

“Truth is always here. It is already the case. It is not something to be achieved in the future. You are the truth just here + NOW.”

And something in me softened.

Thank you, life.

For the synchronicities.
For the reminders.
For this body.
For the earth.
For the space to listen.

And for the practice of returning home. ❤️

What is The Intimacy Project?

People often ask me this question….and every time I answer, the answer is slightly different.

On the surface, it’s a 4-week immersion into Yoga, Ta**ra, and Ayurveda. But beneath that…

It’s a space to slow down.
To listen.
To breathe.
To feel what it is to be human.

Together we explore daily practice, embodied connection, conscious relationship, the foundations of Ayurveda, and the wisdom traditions of Yoga and Ta**ra.

Not as something to believe.
Not as another identity to wear.

But as an invitation to become more intimate with yourself, your body, your breath, your relationships, and life itself.

The Intimacy Project won’t fix you.

It won’t make your problems disappear.

But it may give you the courage to meet yourself more honestly than ever before.

And from that honesty, something beautiful begins to unfold
✨ Upcoming Intimacy Project Immersions ✨

Much Love,

Hello dear beautiful humans 🤍

On Sunday morning at 10am, I would love to open an online space for us to simply gather and practice together.

A few beautiful beings reached out wanting to practice in the company of friends — to reconnect, be reminded, or simply share space together — and it felt sweet to open this for anyone who feels the call.

I’ll gently guide a Heart of Yoga practice through breath, movement, pranayama, and meditation… and from there, you are welcome to continue practicing as you feel.

No pressure, no expectations — just a space to arrive, breathe, move, and be together for a little while 🌿

🌿 Contact Improvisation meet Ta**ra 🌿

This June, we gather for Lean In Nature — a unique space where Yoga, Ta**ra, and Contact Improvisation meet.

A living, breathing exploration of connection through the body.
Not as separate practices, but as one integrated experience — weaving movement, breath, and awareness directly into your body, into your nervous system, into your actual life.

This is a space to feel, not perform.
To slow down and listen…
To explore somatics through different mediums, and allow them to land in a way that is real, practical, and embodied.

A glimpse into our shared daily rhythm:

🌅 8:00 — Ta**ra Yoga
🌿 10:30 — Embodied Connection
🍲 13:00 — Lunch
🤸‍♂️ 15:30 — Contact Improvisation Workshop
🌙 18:00 — Dinner
💫 20:00 — Movement Jam

If something in you is curious, you’re warmly invited to explore more:
