Our July theme, Room to Breathe, couldn’t have arrived at a better time. With rising temperatures and flagging energy, we found a slower rhythm - one filled with spacious breathing, outdoor practice, and movements that gave shoulders and side bodies a much-needed stretch.

I hit pause midway through SATYA 2, only to realise months later that sometimes you have to make the time. Diving back in, I immersed myself in theory and practice, tuning into my shoulders, midline and lymphatic flow, whilst exploring how fatigue weaves through my body and soul. An unexpected “a-ha” came when I finally mastered a weighted reverse lunge by observing alignment off the mat. Now I’m eagerly awaiting SATYA 3.

June wrapped up a three-month journey through the body, culminating in our From Head to Heels theme — and wow, did we discover a lot. Holding standing poses for ten breaths offered surprising insight into how much is happening in each shape. This post reflects on what unfolded over those weeks: subtle shifts, growing confidence, and a deepening awareness of how every part of the body works together, one pose at a time.

In May, we explored the ‘Free-Flow Hips’ theme, focusing on unlocking hip mobility through dynamic, flowing movements. This reflection shares the sequence’s key poses, the challenge of smooth transitions, and how the practice offers options for all bodies. It’s about breaking free from the seated stiffness many of us experience, building warmth, and creating a versatile routine that fits into busy lives while preparing us for the whole-body journey ahead.
