“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”— Lao Tzu

Hey beautiful Reader 💛

Sending a big wave of sunshine your way from the tropics of Koh Phangan 🌞

How’s the start of your season feeling — whether you're soaking in the summer light or nesting into winter stillness down under?

Energetically, summer invites us into expansion and expression — the season of the solar plexus, when the fire element rises, creativity stirs, and we’re called to live a little more boldly, brightly, and in full bloom.

But… if you’re not feeling in full-expression mode, that’s more than okay. In yoga and life, we honour all rhythms - expansion and contraction, brightness and stillness. Sometimes the most powerful practice is simply to pause, listen, and breathe.

To sweeten your summer, I want to share something special: One of my soul sisters just released a gorgeous new song honouring Oshun, goddess of the waters. It’s soft, sensual, golden — the perfect soundtrack for these flowing summer days. 🎧 Listen here →

Oshun • sophie sôfrēē Oshun • sophie sôfrēē, Tina... PREVIEW   ​

If you’re feeling reflective, press play and tune into these gentle journaling prompts:

💭 What is summer stirring in you this year?
💭 How are you flowing with life right now?
💭 What’s ready to soften, shift, or be washed away?

🌞 What’s Alive here in Thailand

This is a space for truth-telling, healing, and integration — a chance to return home to yourself with more wholeness and understanding.
