During these nine nights of Navratri, I always find myself turning inward to notice what is being illuminated in my own practice. Today, as we move through the fourth night, my heart is sitting with Maa Kushmanda, she who is known as the radiant light that birthed the Brahmanda, the Cosmic Egg.

What moves me so deeply about her presence is that her creation didn’t come from external effort or striving. It emerged entirely from within her own core—from the warmth of her own radiant smile and inner fire.

In my own journey, connecting to this aspect of Shakti has brought a quiet, liberating revolution. For a long time, I carried inherited beliefs that suggested the sacred was something distant, that we only access universal life force through rigid gatekeepers or specific external channels. This isn’t to say that connecting to a Goddess, a sacred teaching, a lineage, or a guide isn’t a powerful and deeply transformative doorway. Those traditions and devotional connections can be beautiful mirrors that light our way.

Rather, sitting with the concept of the Cosmic Egg has shown me that those external paths are ultimately pointing us back home: to the truth that there is zero separation between our own hearts and Source.

The cosmic light that sparks the universe isn’t out there waiting to be granted to us; it is pulsing at a cellular level inside our own bodies right now. The Goddess without is a reflection of the Goddess within. Holding this reflection close to my heart today as I tend the inner hearth 💗🔥🌀

Navratri, the nine sacred nights of the Divine Mother, is a potent doorway back into the intelligence of the body. 🌸

Growing up, Shakti was always at the center of our prayer practice. Long before I understood formal frameworks, I knew Shakti as the living, dynamic power of the Divine—the dynamic feminine force that animates everything in existence. She is not just an abstract idea, but the felt sense of the sacred that moves through our bodies, emotions, and felt experiences.

In shakti sadhana, we use movement and breath to step out of linear ways of thinking and producing. So much of modern culture conditions us toward external output, metric-driven success, and forced effort. But Shakti does not move in straight lines. She moves in waves, tides, and natural cycles.

The ancient Ta***ic sages knew that this creative life force—the kinetic aspect of consciousness, although at times coils in the pelvis, was always located within the Heart.
Kundalini Shakti is the vibrating light that pulses the heart and sparks the Heart Fire. And in tending the to this inner hearth through mantra, breath, and devotion, we kindle and stoke the brilliance of consciousness itself.

This Navratri, I am working to lay down the conditioned frameworks of hustle and shame, learning what true nourishment looks like and how to mother the mother, and tuning into the subtle currents of intuition, desire, and inspiration pulsing deep within.

Happy Navratri! May you kindle your inner fire and rest in the lap of the divine mother. Jai Maa! 🔱✨

G R A T I T U T E 🍂🍁

I’m grateful to live and work on the unceded traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation, and to honour the history of this land and the people who have cared for it since time immemorial.

I’m continually reminded that there is so much to learn from the land itself, from the waters, the trees and the animals who share this place with us. Vancouver island holds deeply sacred lands, and I am humbled daily by its vast beauty and wisdom.

I’m especially grateful for the beautiful humans, communities and connections that continue to shape my work and life here.

To my yoga students, thank you for trusting me to share in the living tradition of yoga. To my clinic clients, thank you for the honour of supporting you through your healing journeys and the many transitions of life.

To my teacher Shiva Rea and the Prana Vinyasa Global community, thank you for the continued inspiration and teachings. And to my family, thank you for always supporting my passions.

A special thank you to Monica and Sydney at Vida Movement Community for creating such an authentic, supportive and heart-centred community.

And to Candice and Lotus Yoga and Wellness , an absolute gem in the CV. A true kula, a place to soften, reconnect with ourselves and be held together in beautiful community.

At the heart of all I do is a commitment to supporting women through every phase of life. To honour the thresholds, the tender in-between spaces and the beautiful becoming that unfolds along the way.

I believe that when women are supported, nourished and truly seen, something ripples outward into our families, our communities and the world around us.

Thank you all for being part of this journey. May we continue to build communities rooted in care, connection, respect and belonging.

Wishing everyone a gentle and nourishing weekend. 🤎

Ritual Prana Flow – Movement Meditation for Life Regeneration

✨ Workshop offering at She Rises Festival

Prana Vinyasa® has been a lifelong practice for me, one that lives at the center of everything I teach, on and off the mat. It continues to shape how I move, breathe, and connect, and it feels deeply meaningful to share and honor this evolutionary practice in this space.

This 75-minute journey is rooted in the living current of Prana Vinyasa®, a creative, breath-led approach to vinyasa yoga created by Shiva Rea.

In this soulful journey, we attune to sacred seasonal rhythm, cultivating steady inner fire while honoring the subtle currents of renewal that precede the new moon. Through Classical, Elemental, and Primal Prana Flow Namaskars, you’ll move in progressive, revivifying and rejuvenating Solar–Lunar waves designed to clear stagnation, strengthen and refine your inner fire, and reconnect you to your creative pulse.

Landing at a potent seasonal threshold, this is a space to tend your inner fire and align with the rising energy of the season. 🔥

Would love to share this practice with you 💛

Yesterday we moved through a Chiron Cazimi, a moment when Chiron sat in exact conjunction with the Sun.

In simple terms, this is a moment where something that’s usually harder to see can come into clearer view.

Chiron tends to stir the places where we feel most vulnerable, where we doubt ourselves, where we’ve felt held back or not enough. And in Aries, this often shows up in moments where we are being asked to take action or fully show up as ourselves.

You might have noticed a situation where you knew what you wanted to do, but hesitated. A kind of pause that didn’t fully make sense. Or something emotional surfacing right as you tried to move toward what you desire.

This is part of the energy we’ve been moving through.

For me, this has been a deepening into understanding the wound I came into this life with. Not just intellectually, but in how it has shaped my identity, how I relate to others, how I’ve navigated boundaries, and where I’ve overridden myself.

Patterns like people pleasing, self-doubt, or feeling the need to earn love start to make sense when seen through this lens. Not as something wrong, but as something learned.

And this is where the alchemy of integration comes in.

Instead of trying to fix or push any of it away, there is space now to meet it with awareness. To hold it with more gentleness. To recognize that these patterns once served a purpose, and that I now have the capacity to choose differently.

It becomes less about changing who I am, and more about no longer abandoning myself.

And now, under the New Moon in Aries, there is a sense of ignition.

Not a forceful push, but a clear, steady fire that supports new ways of moving. The awareness is here. The tools are here. The scaffolding has been built.

We’re not erasing the past. We’re integrating it, and allowing it to become fuel.

So if something has been coming up for you, if you’ve felt that tension between knowing and hesitating, between desire and fear, you’re not alone in that.

This moment is asking: now that you can see more clearly, what would it look like to move differently?

What are you ready to choose, and what are you ready to ignite? 🔥
