🔥I can’t believe we’re already wrapping up our final week.
These are a few moments from the sacred opening fire ceremony, a traditional yogic and Vedic ritual used to mark beginnings, offer prayers, and create a space of purification, intention, and transformation.

🌺In the ceremony, mantras are chanted while offerings like ghee, herbs, grains, and sacred woods are placed into the fire. The fire symbolizes both destruction and renewal, a way of releasing what no longer serves us and offering our intentions, prayers, and energy into something greater. In many traditions, the fire is seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, carrying offerings and prayers upward through the smoke.

🙏There’s something deeply humbling about sitting around the fire in community, witnessing what we’re ready to let go of...and what we’re ready to call in.

🌿Shatkarmas are traditional yogic cleansing techniques used to purify the body, clear energetic stagnation, and prepare the system for deeper pranayama and meditation practices.

🌊This is Jala Neti, a nasal cleansing practice using warm saltwater poured through the nasal passages. It helps clear excess mucus, dust, allergens, and stagnation from the sinuses while supporting clearer breathing and pranic flow.

The next is Sutra Neti.
⚠️ Trigger warning: some people may find it intense to watch.

🌬Sutra Neti uses a soft rubber catheter or thread passed gently through the nasal passage and out through the mouth to deeply cleanse areas that water alone may not reach. Traditionally, it’s used to clear blockages, desensitize the nasal passages, and prepare the system for advanced pranayam practices.

🔥If you want to see the Sutra Neti video, message me and I’ll send it to you direct

⭐️My second week at the Kundalini Yoga ashram. The weekend. A new moon. And I want to talk to you all about dynamic meditation.

🌛As we move into this new moon, it feels like such a powerful time to release what no longer serves us ...old identities, old survival patterns, old emotions, old timelines...moving into something new.

🌬Dynamic meditation feels like the perfect practice for that.
Everyone is blindfolded.
Just you and your experience.
We begin with intense inhales and exhales, building energy through the body over and over and over until it feels like a volcano about to erupt.

🔥And then comes the release.
Screaming. Primal wailing. Yelling. Cursing. Punching pillows. Throwing tantrums on the floor like a child who was never allowed to fully express their anger, grief, fear, or boundaries.
And because everyone is blindfolded, there is a freedom in it that is difficult to explain unless you experience it.

⚡️A freedom to finally let the body say: “No.” “Don’t touch me.” “Stop.” “I’m angry.” “I’m hurt.” “I deserved better.”
The kinds of things many of us never felt safe enough to express in the moments the energy originally became trapped in the system.

🙏Then after the release, we move through other phases that help the energy continue moving before eventually falling into complete silence and stillness.
And in that stillness, you can feel it.
Energy moving through places that once felt blocked. A lightness in the body. An openness. A current flowing through the system where tension, suppression, fear, grief, and survival once lived.

🎶Then the music begins.
And the body starts moving differently. The hips. The pelvis. The spine. The shoulders.
Not from performance. Not from force. But from freedom.

💪As someone who has spent much of my life in a fawn response and deep people pleasing patterns, having the space to express rage, boundaries, resistance, grief, and truth in such a raw embodied way was incredibly liberating.
It felt like reclaiming parts of myself that had been frozen for a very long time.

☀️Beautiful Sunday. I finished my first week at the Kundalini Yoga ashram in Rishikesh, India and just came out of an Abhyanga massage, a traditional Ayurvedic oil treatment that nourishes the nervous system and supports the body in releasing stored tension and stagnation. They wrapped my head and put me in the steam box afterwards. Somehow I feel both exhausted and deeply rejuvenated at the same time.

⭐️This process has been incredibly intense, but powerful. We’re cleansing and purifying the physical, mental, and energetic body. Opening places that have been locked down for years. Moving stagnant energy through asana, kriya, pranayam, and deep presence.

🔥A lot has surfaced this week. Deeply buried emotions. New boundaries. Old subconscious patterns. Relationships that no longer align. My body feels tired, but open. My mind feels still and peaceful most of the time. My emotions are being felt and moving instead of staying trapped inside me.

🌛More than anything, I feel grateful. Grateful for growth. Grateful for this path. Grateful that I’m learning to choose myself beyond validation, beyond abandonment wounds, beyond an echoing desperation to be loved.

🤍I'm learning to care for myself in a much deeper and more embodied way...I'm excited to see what comes next.

🌕 Full Blue Micro Moon 🌕

📍I'm back in Phuket, Thailand! Welcome to Expansion Somatics.

🌛This Full Blue Micromoon invites us into a powerful moment of release and renewal. While a micromoon appears slightly smaller in the sky, its symbolism is no less potent...a reminder that profound transformation often begins in the quiet, unseen places within us.

🪷What fears, doubts, insecurities, or limiting beliefs have been keeping you from the most ignited, passionate version of yourself?

🔥Allow them to burn in the fire of this moon. Allow them to burn in the fire in your belly.

🙏Let your fears become fuel. Let your doubts become devotion. Let your insecurities become catalysts for your evolution.

☀️This is a time for forward motion. A time for expansion. A time to step more fully into who you came here to be.

It is time. 🔥✨

✨ The Feminine Doesn’t Need Fixing ✨

So much of what we call healing is really just trying to manage, silence, or control the parts of us that feel too much.

But grief is not a malfunction.
Desire is not a flaw.
Anger is not a disorder.

These are messengers.
They rise from the deep, feeling side of our being, the inner feminine current that lives in every one of us.

And she does not need to be solved.
She longs to be acknowledged.
To be witnessed.
To be held in safety.

Healing is never about rushing or fixing.
It unfolds in presence, in stillness, in belonging.

✨️ You are not broken.
You are becoming.
And the becoming is holy.
