🌌The Pleaides Star Cluster, AKA The Seven Sisters, and Subaru, has been gone from our skies since early May returns, look to the East before dawn this week to see them rise again.

✨Five Elements of Matariki:
Hono ~ Connect
Whakaaroaro ~ Reflect/Contemplation
Whakamana ~ Celebrate
Whakarite ~ Plan
Whakaū ~ Act

Good time to:
💛 our ancestors,
especially honouring those that have passed in the last year since the last rising of Matariki
💛 the present by connecting to the environment & each other, gathering together, feasting , and giving thanks for what we have 🙏🏻
💛 the ground for the coming year both physically in the garden, and other areas of our lives, planning for the year ahead/looking to the future. Perfect time for tree planting 🌳

Most of the 1:1 private yoga sessions I do are in Central Auckland, if you are in the North West though and would a like 1:1 yoga tuition session either in your home or mine, let me know.

The lately have been giving us some spectacular and
These from Sunday at the top of our drive,

Last week a dear student had a fall as she entered the Shala, badly injuring her ankle and elbow 😔
The other students present were all amazing, caring, thoughtful support people to have around in an emergency, and it has been heartwarming to hear the community gather around sending well wishes to her 🥰
I brought a bell along with some incense to do a cleansing ritual at the shala after the traumatic event, and like the idea of doing it regularly to clear the space 🔔
