In the closing verses of Chapter 2, Krishna offers two powerful images: the person who is awake while others sleep, and the ocean that remains steady as rivers flow into it. These teachings invite us to explore desire, inner fullness and the deeper peace that becomes possible when we are no longer carried away by every thought, feeling or longing.

Yoga can look deceptively simple from the outside. A room, a mat, a few shapes, perhaps some breathing and a quiet rest at the end. But beneath all of that, something deeper is taking place. As a yoga teacher, I am never looking for the most flexible person in the room, the neatest posture or the student who can follow every instruction perfectly.

It offers a set of principles I can return to when I am making decisions, navigating relationships or trying to understand my own thoughts and behaviour.

The fields do not produce their harvest overnight. What appears in late summer began months earlier, with seeds placed into dark soil, followed by patient tending, uncertainty, sunlight, rain and time. Our yoga practice is much the same. We may come to yoga hoping to become more flexible, ease an aching back or find a little relief from stress. These are worthy reasons to step onto the mat. Yet the deeper fruits of yoga often appear more quietly. They ripen slowly, almost

In verses 64 to 67 of Chapter 2, Krishna shows us a way back from restlessness. By noticing the pull of attraction and aversion, we can begin to meet life without being carried away by every thought, feeling or desire. Like a boat held steady in changing winds, yoga helps us remain connected to our deeper wisdom.

After hosting my first weekend yoga retreat and spending a day volunteering at an exotic pet refuge, I found myself reflecting on work, rest and attention.

This evening brings a Blue Moon. Despite its evocative name, a Blue Moon isn't actually blue. It is simply an extra full moon on the calendar; a reminder that sometimes life doesn't fit neatly into our plans, schedules, or expectations. Perhaps that is why I find Blue Moons so compelling.

This month, I invite you into the element of air, and into something even more refined than that - space. This is the place of the heart. Not just the physical heart, but the energetic centre of Anahata. The space where breath moves freely. Where we meet ourselves and others with a little more gentleness. Where we begin to soften the edges we have been holding so tightly.

April’s full moon brings with it a sense of encouragement and dynamism. It symbolises courage, renewal and blossoming - it is a moon of change.
