Over that time, the shape of my practice has changed many times. There have been years when I wanted to move. To learn another posture. To stay longer. To understand more. Vinyasa has remained an important part of my practice. I still love the feeling of the body moving with the breath, the warmth that gathers through repetition, the concentration that comes from following one movement into the next. But somewhere along the way, I began making more room for something else. Rest. https://www.susanna.yoga/living-wholeness-journal/berries monthly 0.5 2026-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d339daa2af3d572ade5a09/ba31c27b-b979-442d-967b-d9305502d8d5/IMG_4926.PNG Journal - Berries The raspberries come away from the cane with almost no resistance. The ripe ones seem to fall into the hand. Their colour is deep and their flesh so soft that a little pressure leaves red on the fingertips. Redcurrants ask for something different. I hold the stem between my fingers and gather the small translucent berries into a bowl, some still carrying a leaf or a piece of stalk with them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d339daa2af3d572ade5a09/abd5564e-fda5-4bbf-9ee6-568ca1c1f66b/brs.png Journal - Berries In summer, I often soak oats overnight. By morning they have softened in the jar. I add yoghurt and the berries I have picked, crushing a few raspberries against the glass as I spoon them in. The red runs into the white. Some mornings there are redcurrants too, their sharpness cutting through the sweetness. I have come to think of seasonal eating less as something to follow and more as something to feel. To notice what is growing. To taste what has changed. To pay attention to what the body reaches for when the air is warm, or when the first cooler mornings eventually return. The season enters us in these ordinary ways. Through warmth on the skin. Through water. Through appetite. Through the taste of a berry picked moments before it is eaten. https://www.susanna.yoga/living-wholeness-journal/when-the-season-begins-to-turn monthly 0.5 2026-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d339daa2af3d572ade5a09/622fc325-b35c-4d31-a940-3666bc40a7b3/summer-autumn-transition.PNG Journal - The Turning Season - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.susanna.yoga/living-wholeness-journal/learning-to-rest monthly 0.5 2026-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d339daa2af3d572ade5a09/cbd5e0f8-3238-4d6e-a77b-4acef1ce1ca0/jnl1.PNG Journal - Learning to Rest The practice often begins with movement. A foot steps forward. An arm reaches overhead. The breath follows the shape of the body. We arrive carrying the momentum of the day. The body is already moving. The mind is already moving. Then something begins to settle. Attention returns to the breath. The gaze rests on a single point. The body learns how to remain in one place for a little longer than before. Even within movement, moments of rest begin to appear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d339daa2af3d572ade5a09/4ffe5d81-0afe-4517-b98b-9dd42c17b4af/jrnl3.PNG Journal - Learning to Rest The body remains completely still while awareness stays awake. Attention moves through the body without needing to change anything. Across the right side. Across the left. Then through the whole body together. Awareness rests where it is placed. Perhaps this is why stillness can feel unfamiliar at first. We spend much of life moving towards the next thing, yet here there is nowhere to arrive. Only the quiet rhythm of breath. Only the weight of the body resting against the earth. The practice asks for very little. Simply to remain. Over time, the body begins to recognise this place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d339daa2af3d572ade5a09/678b268d-ec13-4838-ae54-c8a4d0c57c28/jrnl2.PNG Journal - Learning to Rest - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.susanna.yoga/living-wholeness-journal/what-repetition-builds monthly 0.5 2026-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d339daa2af3d572ade5a09/bff50684-2fa8-4e84-af10-cc3c05f80876/IMG_3539.JPG Journal - What Repetition Builds The small acts repeated without ceremony.

What supports us changes too. By late spring, digestion often begins to lighten. Bitter greens return. Herbs become sharper. Meals simplify. But simplicity does not mean absence. The body still needs grounding while energy rises. This is where the pantry supports the season. https://www.susanna.yoga/living-wholeness-journal/where-the-woods-begin-to-change monthly 0.5 2026-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66d339daa2af3d572ade5a09/94879fff-999f-4156-8a23-a11520a01f9b/IMG_2020.jpg Journal - The Woods in Spring Nothing forces the bluebells open.
