I am here to make Jungian depth psychology accessible through yoga. My offerings focus on self-inquiry, self-expression, and self-acceptance, so that you can embrace transformative self-love through our shared practices. Wherever you are on your journey, it would be my honour to help guide this exploration of the depths with you.

Not everything in the Shadow is dark. It is simply

Not everything in the Shadow is dark. It is simply all that we turn away from, including that which is golden within us all.

Next week, in our final exploration of symbols of the collective and personal unconscious, we will work with the High Priestess. We will call her in and ask her to illuminate the gold parts of our Shadows.

Shadow Yoga: The High Priestess
Saturday 15th May
9.30am BST
75-90 mins

Link in my bio to book. If you want to do all four classes, you can still buy the class pass and you will receive the recordings of the previous four sessions. £8 per session or £24 for all 4.

So grateful for the last week's #shadowworkchallenge with @ashleyturner1 @yogapsychology. This short but powerful week long dedication to shadow PLAY has been personally meaningful and deeply inspirational to the work I do. And of course, perfectly synchronicitous with our own Shadow exploration over the past five weeks.

Our relationships with other people can mirror our

Our relationships with other people can mirror our relationships to everything, including ourselves.

#shadowworkchallenge Day 4 - Projection. This is a big one. We project our own Shadows onto others, and by doing this, we become stuck in judgement. Working with these judgements is a way to begin to understand them. And crucially, to understand how they are reflections of ourselves.

Our closest relationships provide us with mirrors to ourselves. Whilst in a therapeutic sense this can mean relationships with people, partners, family, in a spiritual sense we can also look at our relationship with everything. With spirit, nature, consciousness itself.

Tantra teaches how freedom is our capacity to stay in relationship to what is here. And I love that. Because you can apply it to everything, your intimate relationships, your emotions, your inner landscape. All of which we can essentially boil down to awareness. By coming into the body, we can remain curious, aware, and presenced. I see this as our path to understanding.

Jung's quote: 'knowing your own darkness...' is of course one of my favourites, but I think we can also add LOVING our own darkness. Finding beauty in the darkness. This way, we can turn understanding to love.

Listen, understand, love.

As a collective, we face a universal challenge. Th

As a collective, we face a universal challenge. The belief that we do not belong.

I see this as one of the biggest Shadows of the collective unconscious. It is the root cause of perfectionism, judgement, loneliness. It causes projection, which results in the Great Othering. Behind this Othering lies the biggest and most detrimental societal beliefs today: white supremecy, bigotry, xenophobia, sexism, bullying.

This belief that we do not belong also affects us all individually, and it shows up as our inner critic; the voice that tells us we are not good enough. It tells us that our experiences, our traumas, our successes, are not valid. Shame is rampant in today's capitalistic notions of success.

#shadowworkchallenge Day 3: "it is your responsibility to be a refuge for yourself."

We all have an inner critic, and we all have the capacity to commit to quieting that critic. It is a decision, a choice, and a journey to continue to cheer ourselves on despite what that voice may tell us.

First we have to listen to it. In today's #shadowworkchallenge @ashleyturner1 talked about:

1. Noting what the critic says, interrupting it by actively turning towards it.
2. Recognising how and when it shows up. Asking, is this voice contributing to where I want to go?
3. If not, BANISHING the thought.
4. Choosing to believe it's opposite.

In doing this work myself, I see how so often my triumphs are so related to my perceived failures. I'm so proud of my achievements, and so ashamed of my failings. I believe I am magic, gifted, loving whilst simultaneously recognising that my Shadow wallows in feelings of fear, failure and patheticness.

We are so often at this place between the opposites, and we can hold both within us at the same time. I love this, because it links the ontologies of both Jungian and @yogapsychology

• Jungian psychology attempts to hold the tension of opposites.
• Yogic traditions practice yoking opposites to one another.

Though this tension, this yoking, we can step into the fullness of our being. We don't deny any aspects of who we are, but recognise that even our inner critic is an integral part of our individual story... (Continued in comments...)

The Shadow is always, always reaching towards the light. All you need to do is shine your awareness onto it.

This weekend we continue our exploration of the collective Shadow. This week we are working with the symbolism of The Dagger.

We live in a society where we are led to believe we are not enough. There is always something else to reach for, aim for, to achieve. We are taken away from our innate sense of being and pushed to strive towards being someone else. This perpetual patriarchal pressure has made us feel like we don't belong.

We all belong here.

The result of this capitalistic conditioning is an inner critic who often holds us back, makes us afraid to pause, and who causes us a shit ton of unnecessary pain.

This week, in our shared exploration, we will be addressing the inner critic. We will let them speak. We will let them be heard. We will feel into where they emerge from, and how we experience them. Then, we will embrace the symbolism of the dagger through our movement practice to re-carve the pathways through which this inner critique moves. Through which samskara swells. We will take the dagger from its sheath, and slay this inner critic (with kindness and gratitude, of course ☺️)

Link in my bio to book. £8 a session.

This week is inspired by the #shadowworkchallenge with @ashleyturner1, the work of @tokopa and from The Book of Symbols - which presented me with the symbol of the dagger at just the right time. ⚔️

#shadowworkchallenge Day 2. We don't make meanin

#shadowworkchallenge Day 2.

We don't make meaning by turning away from truth. Staying in the light. Turning away from darkness, shadow, pain. Turning away creates samskara and unconscious blocks that prevent us from recognising ourselves as a part of a whole. The embracement of this whole, the collective, divine awareness... is the path to wholeness.

We make meaning by living fully and freely in our truth. Sometimes that truth is fear, guilt, shame, grief, fury. These are a part of the human condition and these will be a part of your story. You are the hero of your story, but you are also the villain.

Day 2 #shadowworkchallenge with @ashleyturner1 : "in order to heal we have to go through the body".

This is what I love. The intersection of Jungian psychology and yogic practices. The clearest way to understand how these worlds collide is through the chakras.

The psychological Shadow Sides of the chakras are as follows:
Manipura - Fear
Swadisthana - Guilt
Manipura - Shame
Anahata - Grief
Vishuddha - Deceit/Denial
Ajna - Delusion
Sahasrara - Attachment

This is such a way in to this work. Feeling into the energetic body and tapping into where your particular blocks, pain, samskara lie. And then working the chakra to track the Shadow, to see where it will lead you. It wants you to follow it...

This #shadowworkchallenge is mind blowing and I recommend it to everyone. @ashleyturner1 @yogapsychology for how to join.
