Monday Motivation: Breathe, Reset, Rise

When Monday feels heavy, come back to your breath. Inhale. Exhale. Let each breath anchor you into the only place that’s real, the now.

Being still isn’t giving up, it’s strategy.
Today, choose to refuel your soul, quiet the noise, and listen for the next right step.
In that pause, clarity returns. The fog lifts. And sometimes, the way forward isn’t the old route, it’s a fresh path you can finally see.

This Monday, trust the breath.
Trust the pause.
You’re not quitting, you’re gathering the strength and light to move forward with purpose.
New week. New energy. New direction.

Let’s go. 🌬️✨🔥

🌿The Wild is Wide Awake
And so am I.

This is more than just a yoga offering; it represents the spark of a sacred uprising.

For so long, I dimmed my light, observing the noise rise while the authentic voice grew silent. But that silence? It wasn’t an end; it was a sacred pause before the surge. And now, that beginning has arrived.

🌿Anavrin Yoga has been revitalised, maintaining its soul-deep teachings yet stitched with fire. Infused with Ta**ra, truth, and the fierce rhythm of the elements, from our signature collections of ♾️FLUXOLOGY, 🪷Elementra, to 🔥Synesthesia & Bearfoot Yoga, this is a homecoming for those who move with meaning, sweat with soul, and seek something deeper.

Call it a relaunch.
Call it a reckoning.
Call it whatever you wish, just know, it’s real.
We’re reclaiming space.
We’re rewriting patterns.
We’re rising in rhythm with the Earth, wind, fire, and flow.

📿 This is a field of frequency.
☀️ An alchemy of movement and magic.
🌊 A devotion to depth.

This journey is not for the faint of heart, but for those with a mind open beyond boundaries.

It begins on 8.8, the Lion’s Gate, with our meditation & Soundbath, celebrating the portal of infinite becoming, the moment where intention meets ignition.

Who’s in?

❤️ Drop a heart if something within you just said YES. The wait is over. The elements are speaking, and we are listening, moving, becoming.

🌱 WALK BAREFOOT ON THE EARTH
It’s More Than Just a Mood Trend

There’s a reason you feel uplifted when your feet touch the ground.

When your soles meet the soil, something ancient awakens within you, a gentle remembering, a cellular hum. Your body realigns. Your mind exhales. Your spirit re-roots.

This isn’t just romanticism, it’s biology, really.
Let’s delve into the science and the soul of it…

🔬 The Science of Earthing (a.k.a. Grounding)

🐾Barefoot contact with natural earth, grass, soil, sand, allows free electrons from the earth’s surface to flow into the body. These electrons act as antioxidants, neutralising excess free radicals and reducing inflammation. Indeed, your feet are conductors in the most magical sense.

Proven Benefits of Earthing:

🧠 Reduces cortisol and regulates stress hormones
💤 Improves sleep quality and circadian rhythm
💓 Supports heart rate variability and blood viscosity
🔥 Decreases inflammation and chronic pain
⚡ Balances the autonomic nervous system
🩸 Stabilises blood sugar and immune response
🧬 Enhances cellular repair and mitochondrial function

This isn’t pseudoscience, peer-reviewed studies have shown real physiological effects. We are, quite literally, bioelectrical beings. And the Earth is our natural charger.

🌿 The Spiritual Truth of Being Barefoot
Your feet are sacred.
In yogic, Ayurvedic, and many indigenous traditions, feet are considered channels of prana (life force) and points of grounding between heaven and earth.

To walk barefoot is to:
🌍 Return to your natural rhythm
🌀 Discharge stagnant energy
✨ Receive Earth’s encoded wisdom
🌬 Reconnect to the elements
🧘🏼‍♀️ Embody presence, stillness, and surrender

In Ta**ra, the 🔴Muladhara Chakra (root chakra) is activated through connection to the ground and that means actual contact.
No barriers.
Just skin and soil.
When we walk barefoot, we activate our root.
♾️We come home.

🌾 Walk This Way | ♾️Daily Barefoot Ritual
Make this your ritual, even for five minutes a day:

Find grass, sand, or soill, ideally moist with dew or near a body of water.
Breathe deeply, keep your eyes soft, and relax your spine.
Visualise golden energy rising from the Earth into your soles, travelling up through your legs, stabilising your centre.
Let the energy meet your breath.
Walk slowly, mindfully. Let the world soften.
✨ Whisper the mantra:
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
“May all beings everywhere be happy and free.”

Wear your bare feet like a prayer.
This isn’t just grounding, it’s remembering.

Let the Earth teach you what stillness feels like.
Let the grass remind you how to grow soft and strong at once.
Let the wild root rise.

🐾 🌍 With every step, come home to yourself.

Love,
Indië Rose | Yogini Bear 🐾

🌿 Learn to Rest, Not Quit

Feeling tired, scattered, or overwhelmed? It’s okay to press pause. Yoga teaches us something profound: rest isn’t a weakness, it’s wisdom.

🌿When you step onto your mat, it’s not about forcing or performing. It’s about listening. Some days, that means holding a Warrior pose with fierce strength. Other days, it’s surrendering into Child’s Pose and letting your breath lead the way.

In yoga and in life, rest is part of the journey, not the end of it. Recovery helps us heal, reset, and return stronger. Gentle stretches, mindful breathing, and restorative postures release tension, calm the mind, and restore clarity, especially when the world feels a little too loud.

But yoga isn’t just about rest….it’s also a powerful practice to sharpen your focus and reconnect with what matters.

Here’s how yoga helps you stay centred and present—even in the midst of chaos:

🌀 Yoga for Mental Focus
• Breath awareness anchors you to the now.
• Balancing poses train your mind to concentrate.
• Forward folds soothe stress, backbends boost brain function, and restorative poses offer deep clarity.
• Meditation and pranayama (like Alternate Nostril Breathing or Bhramari) calm your nervous system and enhance mental sharpness.

✨ Mindfulness Tools You Can Try Today
• Drishti: Hold your gaze on a fixed point to quiet the mind.
• Trataka: Candle gazing builds stillness and mental stamina.
• Yoga Nidra: A guided rest that leaves you renewed and refocused.

Remember: taking time to pause isn’t giving up. It’s choosing to honour your energy, your needs, your growth.

So next time life feels a bit too much, breathe. Move gently. Sit still. Take 5 or 50 minutes. Whether it’s a balancing pose or a moment of stillness, you’ll be amazed what shifts when you choose rest over resistance.

You’ve got this. On the mat and in the world. 💛

Love to you,
Indië Rose

🌞 Hello July: Body, Mind & Being in Balance 🌿
A New Chapter Begins…

Yogi friends, what a powerful, energy-rich start to July! 🔥🧘🏼‍♀️Thank you for letting me walk this journey with you,it’s a true privilege to guide, share, and grow together in this sacred space.

This month, we invite balance into our lives,not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. With the new moon’s reset and the lushness of summer, July feels like a soul-deep invitation to realign, to breathe deeper, and to reconnect with what matters most.

There’s magic in practicing yoga outdoors: bare feet on the earth, sun on your skin, and OM ॐ resonating with the wind. As Amit Ray says,
“Om is not just a sound or vibration… It is the core of our very existence.”
Whether on the mat, in the wild, or online, that sacred sound reminds us: we are part of something greater.

💫 Awaken | Evolve | Flow
This season, I encourage you to move through these 3 sacred steps:

🔹 Awaken – Check in: Are you balanced in your work, play, rest, and relationships?
🔹 Evolve – Listen within: What is your body, your heart, your soul asking for?
🔹 Flow – Take aligned action: Breathe, move, meditate, express, rest.

💗 Final Thought…
July is for recharging and realigning. Let’s reflect on where we’ve come from, celebrate how far we’ve grown, and set powerful intentions for where we’re going.

What’s your feel-good ritual this season? Tell me below, I love hearing how you’re nourishing your light.

We rise by lifting one another.
We heal by honoring our whole being.
We grow when we’re brave enough to show up as ourselves.

Meet me on the mat. Meet me in the wild. Meet me in the MettaVerse.
Together, let’s rise, shine, and flow into this new chapter.

love always,
Indië Rose

This summer! Love yourself through finding your foundation in Yoga!

🥰 Be Yoga this summer!

19/06/2025

🎉✨Waking up in Italy's postcard-perfect landscapes today feels like wrapping myself in a cosy blanket of serenity. Our Summer Solstice celebrations take on a Mediterranean vibes in 2025 with my sweet friend : Elena of Soul of the Earth, the ‘AWAKENING THE WOLF WITHIN’ retreat being all about personal growth, and I'm ready to dive in.

🇮🇹First up? Yoga!

It's the ultimate brain and body booster. With the sky promising endless blue, I'm eager to uncover the city's secrets and my own.
This adventure is a reminder of the magic in hitting pause to recharge and see life from a new angle.

While self-discovery doesn't demand a passport, this sunny escape is a chance to refresh and bond with fellow seekers of rejuvenation under the Italian sun.

🎉🧘🏼‍♀️ BEGINNERS Aerial Yoga🧘🏼🎉
Get Your Asana In the Air! 🪁 🧘🏼‍♀️

It’s time to Sky Flow and not just physically.

Go beyond the mat and evolve within. 🌱 Our new Aerial Yoga sessions are designed to help you learn, grow, and flow in a way that feels light, freeing, and most importantly…. fun! 🤸🏻‍♂️
Nervous?

I have seen people change their entire mental being in the experiences that take them out of their comfort zone -
🧘🏼‍♀️✨You may have heard me say:
When the world feels upside down; Feet up!
It works! But if the literal flipping fills you with dread, there are options for you to create the experience your way so you can evolve at your own pace. This session is there to help you build trust in yourself and your practice. I love my hammock - and the restful lightness resonates for days after.

Yoga isn’t about doing the poses, it’s about mindfully moving so that you can Be Yoga. 🧘🏼‍♀️

That’s why we use props; they support us, guide us, and invite us to experience every moment of our practice more deeply. The aerial hammock is like an extension of your body, giving you the freedom to float, twist, and stretch, while also offering a gentle hug when you need it. Think of it as your ‘go go gadget’ body parts.

So….
🗓️ 6th July
⏰Session Times:
- 9:00 am
- 1015 am
- 430 pm
- 545pm
-7pm
Book here:

Whether you’re completely new to yoga or just curious about the aerial world, this is the perfect space for you to learn and flow at your own pace. There’s no pressure – just playful exploration and a whole lot of laughter. 🪁✨

📝A little reminder: Aerial yoga might not be for everyone. If you’re pregnant (it’s a no always ), have certain health conditions, or are recovering from an injury, we recommend checking in with your doctor before joining. By attending, you confirm that you’re suitable for the class and agree that Anavrin and its wonderful team can’t be held legally responsible for any mishaps.

Gorgeous sunsets are proof endings can also be beautiful 🌅

And perhaps what made her beautiful was not her appearance or what she achieved,
but in her love & courage and her audacity to believe, no matter the darkness around her.
Light ran wild within her and that was the way she came alive, and it showed up in everything. 🌸

Let the Light Find You…
Open your heart. Even if it trembles.

There is something sacred about surrendering to the forest. About letting the Earth hold your feet as you rise, chest lifted to the skies, arms reaching back in trust.
Finding myself here wrapped in the green hush of the trees, my body curving into a heart-opening backbend, hands sculpted into Kali Mudra, a symbol of fierce feminine transformation.

This pose is an expression of devotion and courage.
A backbend Anuvittasana (Standing Backbend) softens the chest, expands the lungs, awakens the spine, and stretches the heart space wide open. It’s a bold invitation to let go of fear and to embody love not just receive it, but become it.

With palms interlaced, index fingers pointed in 🙏🏻Kali Mudra, to channel the energy of Goddess Kali, the remover of illusion, the fearless destroyer of all that keeps us small. This mudra empowers to cut through the darkness and let the light in. It’s about saying yes to transformation, even if it's wild and untamed.

How to embody this moment:
🌸Stand tall in Tadasana (Mountain Pose), grounding into Mother Earth.
🌳 Interlace your fingers and point the index fingers forward in 🙏🏻Kali Mudra, drawing your arms overhead.
🌸Press the hips gently forward as you lift through the heart, arching back with breath and grace.
🌳Let the head follow the curve of the spine, and soften the face.
🌙Breathe. Feel. Receive.

This is more than a shape, it’s declaration of surrender:
🗣️I am open. I am ready. I remember who I am.

🌳May you find a forest within yourself today, and may you open your heart wide enough for the light to come rushing in.

Same message…different day ♥️
🌸🌷🌸Happy Spring my friends! 🌸🌷🌸

🌼 Welcome to Wednesday or bridge day
(midway from one end of the week to the weekend) at Anavrin! 🌼

Are you ready to Resolve to Evolve? Then let’s Flow & Glow my friends! Today’s Ordinary Yoga & Tapasaya 🔥 (I have to get a new name - it’s not olives 🫒 & cheese 🧀 😂) are perfect for resetting and reorganising mind, body & being.

As we embrace the beauty of spring, let's take a moment to connect our yoga practice with the energy of the season. Each Wednesday, we celebrate the arrival of new beginnings and the vibrant energy that comes with it or maybe just a check point to make sure we are not getting lost under the weight of the world so we can address these with self love.

🔍WHY?
Our hormones are on the change! So before you get as mad as a March hare 🐇 my ATYM™️ & Fluxology™️ approaches are going to help you root to rise with love! And we’ve been on this for a few weeks already with our YOGINI TEA ☕️ newsletters & classes.
Just as being affected by over thinking, you can influence your mind by finding balance within - it shouldn’t be focusing on tooting rainbows 🌈 and walking on sunbeams emitting a false sense of self - awareness of simple truths of your authentic needs over designation of your energy to things that deplete your soul is paramount for creating boundaries so those habits can be replaced with healthier ones.

💡HOW?
♦️🏡 Environment & the Root Chakra:
Just as spring brings renewal, so can a clean and organised space. Create an inviting environment that grounds you and invokes peace & ease - a feeling of being home.

🔶🗣️ Speech & the Sacral Chakra:
Embrace the power of positive language! What we say shapes our reality. Speak with intention and creativity to awaken your passions.

🔆Gratitude & the Solar Plexus Chakra:
As we flow through our practice, let gratitude fill your heart. Acknowledging the gifts in our lives boosts our confidence and personal power. You are a power house - I AM sentences, found within manipura changes minds and in turn hearts

🚥🫱🏻‍🫲🏼Social Connections & the Heart Chakra:
Surround yourself with uplifting souls. As we connect with others, we open our hearts to love and support, creating a nurturing kula - COMMUNItea.

🛜🎶 Music & the Throat Chakra:
Let the rhythm of inspiring melodies resonate within you. Singing and chanting can shift your frequency, allowing your true voice to shine.

☯️📺 Media Consumption & the Third Eye Chakra:
Be mindful of what you consume. Seek out enlightening content that expands your awareness and enhances your intuition.

💭👑Thoughts & the Crown Chakra:
Just like the blossoming flowers, our thoughts can open up our energy. Align your mind with a cup of POSITIVItea and watch your spirit soar!

Meet me on the mat soon, be a part of the wave of change as we flow through our yoga practice, aligning our energies and discovering balance during this confusing spirit of spring time!

Om Shanti 🫶🏻
Indië Rose
😘
