i spent so long wondering what i could possibly to say to you, as i’ve been putting off sharing this podcast with you for so long.

The reason? Well, some life stuff but really, truly, i think i was scared of sharing it. i’ve been scared of making any public moves lately. a lot behind curtains, camera off, hidden places. in that process of processing, needing time to figure out what i wanted to say, then getting so tied up in worrying i’m waiting to say the thing, and suddenly weeks go by.

If you’re in my Patreon gang, you probably have a gist of what’s been going on, ‘cause i’ve been sharing there, but nowhere else, but
i’ll level with you. i recorded this podcast in one take as a stream of consciousness conversation with you in my head. does that sound weird? i was going to post it as it was then deferred - default mode took over help- wanted an intro. wanted it to be neater. perfect. which is impossible right?

i wanted to hide but knew and know i have to be seen. we all do. that doesn’t of course mean we have to scream or shout for attention. rather, that we will be seen, whether we realise it or not. whether we are shy or not. whether we hold back or not. is this making any sense?

i wanted to explain. over-explain. i’m kind of doing that, but hopefully with purpose, to demonstrate the process! 

dear listener. if this resonates with you right now, i hope it comes with all the love and encouragement you can imagine. i want for us all to be free, in all ways, always. trust what you know and feel to be true.

This episode was recorded on 6th may 2021 mid teacher training in a park with nature.

Covers croissant layers and ever connected topics including:

• Hamish who in case you didn’t know was my sheep

• juggling focus - projects, training, the never ending to do list

• attention and immersion 

• needing to work….the incessant need to work

• space for dreaming

• bts training chronicles, and continuing education. responsibility in teaching conflicting with accessibility. bypassing limitations that make access difficult to further studies.

• how do we live in a system of capitalism and challenge how dominant culture leans towards ranking and binary thinking, consumption, show and tell and systematic ranking of people with no seasoning, and ideas about how we get free.

• what’s next in terms of community classes…. 

• a spicy take on my experience in yogaland (being in a room with a lot of yoga teachers…) and lots of feelings

• healing from tokenisation 

• defying systems and getting as free as you can 

• being vs doing. feeling the need to constantly produce  and thee tensions with shame, resisting shame when you feel like working all the time.

• a list things i’m doing to counter this overwhelming need and urge to work: a list of accessible tools and ideas to apply to real life.

• why i became a yoga teacher

• burnout in activism and why we can’t wait for freedom!

• tension of time off vs guilt and pressure to work 

• why we need dreamscape, ease and space to unfurl and process, recover, rest, be-ing, and un-do-ing

• why so much of my work has been about rest the last 10 years
