Have you ever been in a training and left feeling even more lost or confused? You look around and think “Am I the only one not getting this?". This is quite a common experience. 𝐇𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮?

So, what do you expect when you sign up for a training? Perhaps it’s a certificate, certain techniques and tools to use once you’ve completed the course?

These are important and necessary…but, what we rarely expect, or get, is 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝; 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

When this happens you realise you are not the only one juggling life, energy, sleep, and self-doubt. And if you're feeling a bit lost, that's ok...it's human, and we are all just trying to figure it out.

We see it happen year after year in our community and it's incredibly moving.

And the brilliant thing is, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧. When the nervous system finally knows it’s safe enough to allow the body and thinking brain to be present. And you're not going to get called out for 'not knowing'.

In Sanskrit, sangha means community. In Embodied Wisdom, 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. It is the container that helps everything else happen.

One week from today - on 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝐭𝐡, we open our next circle inside Embodied Wisdom.

New friendships will be formed. New stories of what becomes possible when you are held, and not hurried.

So, if you are craving a place to be fully met in your practice and your life, or you know someone who is, you'll find the link to download the info pack in my below or you can email thrive@living.yoga

Most people arrive at yoga for the poses.
But what if I told you that asana is only one small branch of a vast, living tree?
In yoga, there are 8 limbs that we explore and embody together, ethical living, meditation, self-study, and more.

The poses are just the doorway. The real journey begins when we discover how yoga changes how we live, breathe, love, and grow.
In 10 days, Embodied Wisdom 200hr YTT opens for the 25/26 cohort. A 9-month exploration into these deeper layers of yoga. If you’ve been longing to go beyond the mat, you might feel called to step in.

Anxiety & Panic Attacks…I hear really incredible stories in the comments on my channel from those of you who have had success with yoga Nidra reducing your anxiety or lessening panic attacks, stopping a panic attack in the moment or even panic attacks stopping all together. I would LOVE to hear your reflections if this is true for you. This is my own personal story as well. Over a decade without a panic attack and no longer having anxiety running the show or my life. It’s a completely different life I get to live today. Forever grateful for this practice 🙏🏼

I hear from those of you with PTSD all of the time how Yoga Nidra practice has improved your lives. I would LOVE to hear some of those stories and what you have noticed specifically? What symptoms feel more manageable? In what ways do you feel more calm or stable in the face of challenges or triggers? Yoga Nidra has been a huge part of my healing from the childhood trauma of a house fire, and I love hearing about how it’s helped others too ❤️🙏🏼

For those of you who report regularly falling asleep during your yoga nidra practice, what are some of the benefits you notice in your life even though you’ve drifted off to sleep?

Do you notice anything beyond what you would notice with a simple nap?

I’d love to hear your experiences!

🌟 24 Million Moments of Stillness Together 🌟

As 2024 winds down, I’m filled with so much gratitude for this incredible community. This year since January we’ve meditated and practiced Yoga Nidra over 24 million times together — and counting! 💛

Each moment of stillness, every breath, every intention, has rippled out into the world, creating waves of peace, healing, and connection. YOU are a vital part of this. Your commitment to rest and renewal inspires me daily, and I am so honored to be a part of your journey.

Here’s to more deep breaths, inner calm, and shared moments of mindfulness as we continue to grow together. 🙏✨

Drop a 🕊️ or a 🌙 if Yoga Nidra has been part of your journey this year — let’s celebrate this collective achievement! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! ❤️
