Dreams in Motion
Sagittarius Blue Moon - An Opportunity to Reset.
I’m frustrated, I’m undecided, I’m teetering on the edge of the old and feeling like the new I want is a million miles away. I’m on google looking for houses, searching for a new home, in a new country, so maybe the new chapter is only thousands of miles away! I’m searching for the changes that are brewing beneath. What am I yearning for that I haven’t yet given or allowed myself to have, to live?
Sagittarius is the sign of truth, expansion, luck, philosophy, travel and adventure. Having thoughts and feelings linked to any of these topics recently? Thinking that something right now in life isn’t adding up and something needs to change? Wanting a fresh start?
If you’re also, like me, feeling like the first five months of the year weren’t quite what you had anticipated, or you, yourself weren't quite what you had expected, then you’re not alone.
What I wanted at the beginning of the year for myself has changed dramatically. In fact I got what I wanted and then lived the reality of it, and quickly realised that wasn't what I wanted or needed for my career, my health, or my family (yes the dogs!) If you read my last blog, you’ll know I’ve dropped a lot of my regular yoga and pilates classes I was teaching. After manifesting them very quickly, filling my schedule, and knowing I’d be earning I nice wage each month, only a few months later, I’m saying “whoops, that is literally how to burn out and forget my dreams, my purpose and my reason for being here.”
I got sick for a few weeks and when I was coming to the surface again from the deep depths of illness- that cave like experience of disconnecting from the “real” world and remembering your internal world, the world connected to spirit, heart, truth- I dragged my partner to the meadow and made him take pictures of me moving amongst the wild flowers, as the sun rose and the birds sang. (Hence the multitude of images that are of only me throughout this blog!) Two of my favourite medicines, nature and movement.
This image is important to me. In the spaces I have returned to holding once again, in the shape of formal classes at a studio, I have been inviting all students to hold their hearts and their belly. One of my favourite practises for grounding and coming home to a sense of regulation in my mind and body. I’ve been extending my meditations at the beginning of classes and been really leaning into a slower way of moving- moving when connected to our body, our hearts.
I LOVE teaching yoga classes, but what I don’t love is the occasional belief of yoga being only an exercise for the body.
I too can forget as I press start on my fitness watch at the beginning of a class. A class I’m squeezing in after travelling in rush hour and beforeI want to get home, cook dinner, finish that presentation for tomorrow, have a glass of wine with friends, scroll through instagram, complete my skincare routine, and feel like I tried my best to be healthy! Often, the last thing we want to do is “waste” time breathing, witnessing our thoughts without judgement, allowing our emotions and feelings to be present. Or sometimes we meditate because it was on our to-do list and so it becomes performative, without benefit. Doing it with full commitment is not conducive to our busy schedules because what if we realise “I’m not ok under the surface? Under the Power Flow? Under the sweating and working hard physically on the mat? What if I open a can of worms and then I can’t tick all of the boxes that must be ticked? What if I realise all of my life choices I made are not the ones I would make now, and I’m in a job I hate?!”
But,
What if you tap into the most beautiful feeling of joy?
What if under all of the control there is freedom?
What if under the rules and roles we play and follow everyday there is that ever present love and self compassion in our hearts waiting to be expressed, felt and experienced fully?
What if coming home to our bodies and hearts leads us to accept who we are, what we have and what we don't?
What if letting the body and heart lead, leads to more energy and motivation to move, sweat and flow?
If you are looking for freedom.
If you are seeking a deeper connection with your intuition.
Or if you desire to calm the fuck down, because life is just too short.
I would love for you to join me at one of the classes I shall be holding soon, on a regular basis. These won’t feel like a studio exercise class, but a homecoming to your body and heart, through movement, through breath, through meditation, and community.
I can’t wait to start holding these spaces for you.
Yoga, in its fullness, (not just the moving) has given me so much. Yoga has held me through the hardest of times, my mat has accepted more tears than my pillow, I imagine. Yoga has allowed me to meet some amazing human beings. But, most of all yoga has reminded me of who I am, why I am here, and where I need to go.
This period of 2026 is a reestablishing of what you want and what you need in your life. Maybe you’re wiping the slate clean and starting from scratch, maybe you’re ready to hear from your intuition the next step on your current project or plan. Whatever it is, the yoga spaces that I’m holding can help you.
And what’s great for you is I want to offer these on a pay what you can basis. The minimum I ask for is a fiver! Community is so important to me and I don’t want to price anyone out. If this is still out of budget please do let me know.
We heal, find clarity, and reclaim our confidence in community, join ours at WAWW, no previous practice of movement, meditation or circle is necessary.
Journal Prompts for our Blue Full Moon in Sagittarius Sunday 31st May:
What second chance am I giving myself?
How can I forgive myself for playing small?
If there were no limitations to my dreaming, what would I decide I wanted for myself this year and next?
How can I set my dreams in motion, even if they feel very far away right now?
This last one feels very pertinent to me, I always need to feel like I’m moving towards something. Like I have a goal or a plan and somehow the cogs and wheels are turning towards it, even if very slowly. I am currently struggling with this inbetween stage energy I find myself in, and I’m sure many of you are finding yourself here too. I thought about judging this, but then thought better of it. I’m human. And as a human I have the need for purpose, for action, for achievement. I hope you’re not judging yourself today. I hope you honour where you are and befriend your desires, even if they seem big, scary, unachievable right now. This is my choice for this audacious Full Moon we have coming up.
How can you be more audacious in life?
Audacity is my word for the year, and I think this period is the perfect time to embrace and embody it fully!
So much love,
Siân xx
