✨ WATER LINES — SVĀDHIṢṬHĀNA ✨

This week’s class is not about perfect poses or pushing flexibility.

It’s about restoring the body’s natural wave.

We’ll explore: 🌊 side-to-side movement
🌊 rib and pelvic fluidity
🌊 emotional adaptability
🌊 nervous system softness
🌊 restorative somatic yoga

This class works deeply with the lateral body: the ribs, side waist, outer hips, intercostals and the places we unconsciously brace against life.

Through tidal breath, swaying, spiralling and supported restorative shapes, the nervous system begins to relearn:

“I can move without losing myself.”

This is gentle work for:
• emotional overcontainment
• rigidity and control
• overwhelm and collapse
• nervous system bracing
• held Kapha/Pitta states

Expect:
soft lighting
bolsters and blankets
oceanic movement
wave-like breath
creative exploration
and deep parasympathetic settling.

Water does not force.

It responds. It adapts. It finds pathways.

✨ “Adaptability is not collapse. It is intelligent softness.” ✨

Your body may not be “randomly inflamed.”

It may simply be too hot for too long.

In Ayurveda, symptoms like:
• diarrhoea or bile acid irritation
• skin flare-ups
• red irritated eyes
• nausea and exhaustion
• anger, frustration or feeling emotionally “overheated”

can all be signs of rising Pitta — excess heat and pressure in the system.

And often, the first place it shows up is digestion.

Causes of Pitta rising include:
Too much stress.
Too much rushing.
Too much intensity.
Too much pushing through exhaustion.
Too much heat without enough cooling.

Ayurveda teaches that like increases like.

So if life has become too sharp, hot, inflammatory or overstimulating… healing begins by introducing the opposite qualities: coolness, hydration, softness, rest, slower evenings, moonlight walks, coconut water, nourishing rhythms and nervous system safety.

Sometimes the body is not attacking you.

It is asking for less pressure.

18/05/2026

If you are Pitta body-type by nature (your Prakrti), or you have symptoms of Pitta-rising (your Vkrti) your support practices often begin not in trying to find the perfect sequences of self-care — but in learning how to put out the fire and release the built up pressure.

🌿 Ideal support practices for a Pitta body-type:

• Cooling, hydrating meals with less spice, caffeine, and intensity
• Slower movement that feels regulating rather than competitive
• Time away from constant productivity and decision-making
• Gentle breathwork that softens heat, frustration, and control
• Space, quiet, and breaks during the busiest part of the day
• Rest for the eyes, mind, and nervous system
• More play, beauty, music, pleasure, and softness
• Letting some things remain unfinished or imperfect
• Rituals that cool and settle the body, especially before sleep
• Practising compassion when irritation or sharpness rises

Pitta dosha support does not need more discipline.
It often cooling. Tenderness. Spaciousness. Permission to loosen its grip.

“You are not an a #. You’re just overheated. And fire can be regulated.”

Ayurveda has its own version of a meaningful life map — and it’s beautifully similar to Ikigai.

In Ayurveda and Yoga, there is a framework called the 4 aims of life.

Not goals in the modern pressure-filled sense.
More like four directions that help create a life of balance, meaning and wholeness.

Dharma — your Nature, path and contribution
Artha — the support and resources that sustain life
Kāma — what you desire brings joy, beauty and aliveness
Mokṣa — what sets you (and others) free

The more I reflect on this alongside the deeper philosophy of Ikigai, the more I see how both traditions honour something many of us are quietly longing for:

not just success,
but a life that actually feels worth living.

A life where:

your work reflects your nature,

you feel supported,

your heart remains alive within what you do,

and your way of living creates more freedom rather than more fear.

Not one at the expense of the others.

Not purpose without nourishment.
Not spirituality through self-abandonment.
Not stability without joy.

But all four, in relationship.

Maybe creating a meaningful life is not about doing more...

Maybe it is about listening more honestly to:
what feels true,
what supports you,
what brings you alive,
and what sets you free.

You’re not meant to be like anyone else.

Ayurveda holds this at its core:
Your nature — your prakrti — is entirely your own.
Your body.
Your mind.
Your emotional world.
Your life.
All different.

And yet we keep comparing…
to friends, family, colleagues, people we admire.
But we cannot be like them.
We’re not meant to be.

The work in Ayurveda is to understand yourself.
To really see your patterns, your rhythms, your needs.
To support your difference
instead of overriding it.

And Yoga offers the other side:
Not adding more…
but gently clearing what isn’t you.
The conditioning.
The patterns.
The samskara.

Until something true starts to come through.
Something that doesn’t need to compare.

So maybe the core of both is this:
You’re not meant to be like anyone else.

Your life is not meant to look like anyone else’s.
Stop comparing.
Support your nature.
Uncover your truth.

There can be a quiet pull
to return to how things were.

A sense that somewhere behind you
is a version of yourself
that felt easier to be.

More capable.
More steady.
More able to meet the day
in the way you expect.

And when things don’t feel like that now,
it can be hard not to compare.

To notice what feels different.
What takes more effort.
What doesn’t come as naturally as it once did.

And underneath that,
a quiet question:

Why can’t I do this like I used to?

I used to meet most pressure with ease...But the more I tried to reach back,
the more something in me
felt out of place.

Because I wasn’t there anymore.

Something had shifted.

Not in a way that needed correcting.
Just in a way that had moved on.

Bodies change.

They move with time.
With experience.
With everything they’ve held
and everything they’ve moved through.

And what worked before
doesn’t always meet
what’s here now.

That doesn’t mean something is wrong.

It doesn’t mean you’ve lost something
you need to find again.

It might just mean
you’re no longer that version of yourself.

And this version
has different needs.

A different rhythm.
A different way of responding.
A different kind of capacity.

It can take time
to stop measuring yourself
against what came before.

To stop trying to return
to a place that no longer fits.

But there can also be something quieter here.

A chance to meet
who you are now.

Not as a lesser version.
Not as something to improve.

But as someone
living in a different moment.

With a body that is asking
to be understood
in a different way.

Nothing has gone wrong
because things feel different.

This isn’t something you need to fix.

It’s something you’re being asked
to meet
as it is.

And you’re allowed
to begin from here.

What to expect in an Ayurvedic yoga class

It will probably feel different
to what you’re used to.

Not because it’s complicated…
but because it’s quieter.

We start by working with what is.
Not trying to change you.
Not trying to fix you.

This is a practice of
relationship, not correction.

There’s an emphasis on
how your body feels from the inside.

Not how it looks.
Not how far you go.

You’ll be guided to notice:
– sensation
– breath
– subtle shifts

And over time, this builds connection
instead of self-criticism.

We pay attention to three key spaces in the body:

– the pelvis (bladder space)
– the heart and diaphragm
– the head and senses

Where you might be:
holding
bracing
or over-controlling

And how those begin to soften.

You may be guided to feel
how the breath moves in these spaces.

Where it flows easily
and where it doesn’t.

Not forcing the breath…
but allowing it to show you something.

We also explore how energy moves in the body
(known as the pancha vayu)

– downward flow
– upward flow
– inward, outward, integrating

So the body becomes something you listen to
rather than something you manage.

Sometimes we bring awareness to
marma points (energy gates)

– gentle touch
– or simple massage

Not to “fix” anything
but to invite awareness and flow.

You’ll also begin to understand
your own constitution (prakrti)
and your current state (vikrti)

So your practice becomes personal.

Not something copied
from a teacher, a friend,
or a trend online.

We might reframe symptoms too.

Instead of: “this muscle is tight and painful”

We explore:
– where energy is stuck
– where it’s overactive
– where it’s depleted

And how to respond with care.

Over time, something shifts:

You stop talking at your body
and start listening to it.

This isn’t about pushing further.

It’s about:
– allowing
– softening
– noticing
– responding

The root of the practice is simple:

You are not something to fix.

You are something to relate to.
