January 23, 2026 by Guest Blogger!

By Bryonie Wise, 889 Yoga Teacher As I learn to keep the channels open, I welcome vulnerability into my life from the centre of my chest, in the thump-thump-thump I find there. I reach the edge and peek over; sweat breaks out along my brow and panic enters because maybe I can’t leap into what […]

Flowing + Chanting

January 6, 2026 by Guest Blogger!

If you’ve spent any time with me, you know that I’m constantly ‘shazam-ing’ tunes I hear out in public, or digging for creative acoustic covers of pop songs. I get lost in the rhythm of drums, letting them inspire […]
