today is the most auspicious day in the Tibetan Buddhist year - Saga Dawa
This year Saga Dawa falls on May 31st - the full moon of the 4th month in the Tibetan calendar
Saga Dawa (or Vesak for Theravada Buddhists) is a sacred month for Buddhists as they celebrate the birth, enlightenment & passing of our Buddha - Shakyamuni
Saga Dawa is a time for acts of compassion and kindness as merit is accumulated 100,000 times that of any other time. Buddhists also believe the opposite is true, so any act of cruelty or bad intent will impact your karma negatively to the same amount!
Buddhists take time over this period to offer Buddha their gratitude and reverence and in return receive Buddhas blessings that are offered as merit out toward all sentient beings
Puja, fasting, temple and monastery visits, meditation, prayer, chanting, time with family & friends & spiritual contemplation fill this sacred time
This year I feel very blessed to be in Mongolia for this auspicious time. Mongolian people follow Tibetan Buddhist and Shamanic beliefs & practices
Today I choose to fast and visit a much revered 17th C monastery (home to thousands of monks over the years) to make offerings to Buddha, to meditate, and deepen my understanding of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom
I invite you on this day to slow down & gift yourself some time in stillness and silence. offer a smile to a stranger, give an extra hug to a love one, act with kindness toward animals - choose to be vegan for the day (or 4eva!), call a friend to check in, give to your favourite charity, forgive someone from your past & say kind & inspiring words to yourself
OM GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAMGATE BODHI CHITTA SOHA - OM gone gone, gone to the other side, gone to the other side to join with compassion & kindness - the awakened, enlightened heartmind ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Faces of Northern Mongolia
we have spent the last week travelling into the Northern most region of Mongolia up near the Russian border
weโ€™ve met so many friendly people along the way. Nomadic horse herders, nomadic reindeer herders, a village shaman, farmers, & local families
we have been invited into their homes, fed until we are too full to move, laughed, and shared stories
these people are people of the land and sky. their spiritual beliefs and practices are a mix between local shamanic and Tibetan Buddhist traditions
they are tough, life is short, they worship their land and animals, they live in strong family groups, and have powerful community connections. they are open, friendly, funny, and content with the very little they have
because educating girls is considered more important than educating boys (boys can do manual work), girls head to the cities and dont want to return to the country - so many young men remain single unable to meet the education or financial needs of the citified girls
but these guys gallop through rivers and over mountains on wild horses, they build houses from the trees around them, they round herds of reindeer & yak on motorbikes, they can read the land and sky blind folded yet they are sensitive, gentle & caring
the women who choose nomadic life, choose a life of harsh conditions, constant movement, very few possessions. there is no running water or electricity. they have a courageous and determined spirit
the children growing up in nomadic families may not attend school, they sleep and live in the one room with the rest of their family, they have one or two toys and a change of clothes, yet they laugh, play, enjoy the gifts of the natural world, and have spirits that run wild and free
join me on a yoga adventure to Mongolia this August. head to the NAMASTAYZ website (my yoga travel company) link in bio for more details or DM me anytime
ps Im vegan and Iโ€™ve def put on a few kilos!!!
practice yoga and meditation daily, travel to sacred places, be inspired by amazing landscapes, meet the wildlife

MONGOLIA ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ’—
what a soul filling experience Mongolia is. never in your wildest dreams can you imagine how beautiful and powerfully energetic this land is
after days of driving north and half a day on horseback we reached a nomadic reindeer family in the deep mountains of Mongolia near the border to Russia
we had snow falling, drove over mountainous fields with no roads, camped by frozen lakes and stopped to pray at shamanic kairns
the nomadic reindeer herders move camp season to season so after riding through snow fields, across rivers, up streams, and through pine nut forests we eventually COOโ€™D to find the reindeer family
these nomadic people are shamanic. they live a totally natural life in harmony with nature. they believe in spirits and the energies of the sun, moon, earth, waters, mountains, animals & nature
life is harsh for nomads. my bed is cut from fallen trees, water is sourced from the local stream,, and there no electricity bar a small portable solar panel
yet life is profoundly beautiful and peaceful
i experienced the most impactful practice of my life, by the stream, on the snow soggy grassland, between the mountains- reindeer and horses nearbyโ€ฆthe spring sun so warm on my face, the ground undulating and wet, sounds of nature all around. i have never been so far into the wilderness in my life, yet never felt so connected with life
Mongolia is a spectacular adventureโ€ฆ not to be missed in a lifetime. there is still a few weeks left to book NAMASTAYZ yoga adventure to Mongolia via Beijing in August this year. head to the NAMASTAYZ website - link in bio www.namastayz.com.au or DM me for details
practice yoga daily, meditate in sacred places, visit Tibetan Buddhist temples, travel the wide open countryside, see the mini gobi, yaks, wild horses, vultures, eagles and so so much more. and yes VEGANS please join me - there is waaaay too much food
Mongolia is magic ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

โ€œDo not fight the darkness, let the light in and the darkness will disappearโ€
how i cherish this quote by my meditation guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
it is one of the primary reasons i rest into being yoga as often as I can - why i practice regardless of where I am or how I feel & why I love to teach & share the wisdom & blessings of yoga with my community
yoga is the light โœจ
yes asana is healing for the body, meditation a cure for the mind, & pranayama like medicine for our energy, but far more than that ~ Yoga is the doorway to your innate resting place of pure bliss
where the darkness of negativity and doubt is showered with the light of truth & peace
join us at the shala this weekend for a practice that offers you infinite possibilities for transformation & transcendence๐Ÿค
and yes โ€ฆ its great for strength, stamina, stretch, balance, and embodiment too!!
our community welcomes beginners, those returning to their practice, and seasoned yogis

driving along the very southern coast of Sri Lanka (which we will do during the โ€œIn Love with Sri Lankaโ€ retreat Jan 2027) we encountered so many buffalo and cows on the streets - much of the time causing traffic mahem!
these guys seem pretty ok ambling down the roads and not bothered by cars, tuk tuks or bikes!
this mob of buffalo was so funny. if you watch to the end not only do they stand in the way for quite some time then all turn and head straight for us!! funny not funny because they bashed and rocked the little car and scratched all down the side! i had to giggle at the craziness of it - although i think its pretty common over here ๐Ÿ‚
its these little, totally random moments, that often stand out as the most rememberable when travelling. they grab a little part of your heart and nestle in - always inviting a happy & cherished moment when awoken
I def wont forget these guys!!
fill your memory bank with curiosities, once in a life time moments, and sacred happenings. join me on a yoga adventure to somewhere rich in spirit and culture. i have curated the journey and organised the transports, so you immerse yourself totally in every moment
lets practice yoga and meditation together - somewhere we can never forget ~ beginners welcome ๐ŸคŽ

i just had to share my encounter with the rarest of animals at Yala National Park in the south of Sri Lanka- the sloth bear
planning the next retreat i have taken the opportunity to do numerous safaris and enjoyed seeing an abundance of wild life and birds up close, even leopards and big tusked elephants. not to mention how fun the jeep rides are!!
if you know me you know iโ€™m a lover of animals and nature and all Namastayz retreats include time spent with animals and out in natures sacred places. Being with mother earth and her gifts is at heart of being as yoga ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
