Reverse Table/Plank flow from Aberdovey

Strength comes from momentum
Steady focus, heartfelt dreams
A seed, a spark, we feel within us
That slowly grows into a tree.

Soft power defeats hard power, always, in the long run, as Christ demonstrated 🙏🔥🧡🤸‍♀️

Kneeling Lateral Stretch and poem from Lake Wasdale.

The lines between me and you, inside and outside, relate to the survival of the body, not the revival of the soul. Whoever we meet becomes part of our consciousness, and how we treat them, we treat ourselves 🧡

Thigh stretches at Aberdovey 🤸‍♀️

Our body is like nature, bringing us back into the present moment. Through the doorway of the ‘here and now’ we feel the flow of the ‘all and everywhere’, in the shrine of our heart 🙏🧡

Cow Face Pose variation and words from Kefalonia🤸‍♀️

Without spirituality, religion is a head based destructive ideology, currently being weaponised by backward looking nationalists. With spirituality, religions explore the pathways of the heart, towards unity in love 🧡

Warrior 2,1 & 3 flow variation from Buckfast Abbey with words 🙏🧡

Are we aiming for a target?
Or is everything all here?
Or do we have to travel far
To find what’s ever near?

Blossoming Lotus Pose and Poem from Buckfast Abbey

Every form is surrounded and penetrated by space. Beyond and within all the noise is a vast silence. Within the silence, stillness, and space is a presence, that we can feel in meditation, and express in action. 🧡

One-Legged Peacock Pose with words

Pleasure and pain, rises and falls, rough and smooth, we need it all. The falls make us stronger and the flows make us softer, and both give us balance 🙏🔥🧡🙏

Triangle Flow and words from Buckfast Abbey 🙏🧡

Are we circles or lines?
Are we travelling through time?
Or is time all around us,
And we’re still
Inside?

Through the doorway of the present, the here and now, is the Kingdom of presence, the all and everywhere, to which our soul is transported, through the heart, while the body sits still. 🧘‍♂️🧡

Warrior Pose variation & words from Lake Wasdale

The awakening of the heart starts with a feeling, an experience and even a realisation. But feelings fade and experiences wane, and what remains are the values they inspire 🙏🧡🙏

Warrior Pose variation and poem from Lake Wasdale.

The hermit is our inner witness, rising above, seeing beyond. The knight is our inner warrior, meeting life’s challenges, making a difference. We need both. In hermit mode, we step off the wheel. In knight mode, we move the wheel forwards 🧡

Reverse Table Pose with leg lift

Our sense of self need not be limited to our body or mind. Within us is an ocean of being, which we sense as presence in the flow state of meditation, and which unites all who live and breathe 🙏🔥🧡🔥🙏
