Julie and I explore the concept of safe spaces. What does safety mean in a school system, what does it mean in a yoga space, in the world? We explain the importance of staying in inquiry and remaining curious as one of the most impactful ways to create safe spaces. We look at what it means to lean into change-making and knowing when to walk away.

We talk about how the systems we’re in are built to oppress and perpetuate the very things we’re fighting against. There’s a need right now to acknowledge the ways in which so many public and private spaces have been systemically made unsafe; so what can we do to change this? What small, yet oh so powerful, steps can we start taking to create spaces that are inclusive, accessible, and a little bit more safe for all?

Are you feeling overwhelmed trying to create and navigate a daily practice? In this episode I explain how to create your practice, the biology behind habits and routine, and allowing your practice to become fun and fluid.

Start by asking yourself what you need in order to feel connected to your truth, connected to your presence, centered and grounded.

Let curiosity guide you. Allow your practice to be fluid.

Your practice is your own. Your practice requires you to try new things, evolve, shed old things, and honour everything you are in the present moment.

Learn the biology behind habits and routine.

Ceremony also dives into what it means to navigate a masculine world in a female body.

“Yoga is a lifestyle. Yoga meets you where you are at but also invites you deeper.”

How can we heal the nervous system through yoga?

How can I create and use Sankalpa to bring about deep healing and change?

Shadow work recognises and seeks to understand the dark side of our personality.

In this episode I speak of the importance of acknowledging the dualities that we all possess, the dark and light, the befriending all aspects of yourself. I explain how our shadow self shows itself to us and how it manifests as negative behaviours when not repaired. Finally I help you to cultivate your shadow work journey via a  step process.

Your shadows are looking to be acknowledged, understood, and over time be-friended.

Who can I be when I integrate all parts of myself, accept all parts of myself, and become whole once again?
