This week and next in my mindfulness classes, we ‘go with the flow’.

Each mindfulness class is a gentle unfolding—a weaving of yoga, Buddhist wisdom, psychological insight, and modern spiritual perspectives. After exploring the themes of showing up and community, we now turn towards the qualities of flow and embrace the attitude and practice of going with the flow.

I’m personally moving through a period of instability, of transition—and hopefully, of growth—in both my professional and personal spheres. I know many of you can relate. We’ve all experienced major life shifts, often bringing with them discomfort, stress, anxiety, frustration, even anger, or a sense of feeling lost. Right now, I’m at the beginning of a significant life shift. The next 3, 6, and 12 months will be transformative. Life happens. Change often arrives uninvited—unexpected or unplanned. And while I could resist it, fight it, or try to cling to the old, I’ve learned to do something different: To go with the flow.

In Buddhism, the truth of anicca—impermanence—reminds us that all things are in flux. When we stop resisting change and soften our grip on what we think should be, we create space for presence, wisdom, and inner peace to arise.

One of the greatest lessons mindfulness has taught me is just that—to ride the waves of life, rather than push against them. Of course, I still get pulled under, drift off course, or find myself treading water. But I trust now that I can float, I can resurface, and I can ride the waves. Yoga philosophy reminds us that change is constant and inevitable, and yet we can remain grounded—steady within ourselves no matter what arises. Mindfulness practices—whether yoga, meditation, or dance—teach us to be present in the here and now, even as everything shifts around us. They offer a path held between compassion and wisdom.

In modern yoga classes, we often move through a vinyasa or flow—linking breath with movement, posture to posture. These sequences build energy, heat, and awareness. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali describe citta vikṣepa—the mental disturbances and obstacles on the path—and citta prasādana, a tranquil, clear state of mind that arises when we cultivate attitudes like friendliness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Through practice, we can begin to experience prasādanam: a mind that is sweet, steady, joyful, and filled with grace.

In psychology, going with the flow reflects cognitive flexibility and adaptability—skills we need more than ever in our fast-paced, complex world. It aligns with resilience theory, which speaks to our capacity to bounce back and grow from challenges. In modern spirituality and even in everyday language, this idea is echoed again and again. I grew up in Australia, where “go with the flow” isn’t just a phrase—it’s a way of being. It’s a cultural attitude of acceptance and ease amid life’s inevitable ups and downs.

It is my purpose and privilege to guide you home to your highest self and deepest connection with life. I draw on my lived experiences, my studies, and my practice to walk with students and clients along their own unfolding paths. My classes and therapy sessions are containers for reflection, healing, and transformation. Whatever you are experiencing—change, loss, fear—I am here for you as your mindfulness teacher and therapist. I will hold the space for you to stay, sit with it, lean into it, find your centre, and come out the other side.

I invite you to start or continue showing up for classes at Centre Bodhi as an act of courage and devotion—to yourself and to the communities you are part of. As we continue to show up to classes and engage with the Centre Bodhi sangha (community), we offer ourselves the chance to be seen, to be supported, and to belong. Sangha isn’t just a support system—it’s part of the path. It is a space for growth, accountability, and being held in love and presence. Especially in times of transition, community becomes a refuge, a place to return to the truth of who we are and what life is.

In the first two weeks of classes at Centre Bodhi, we explored showing up and community. Now, this week and next, we’ll explore and embody the qualities of water: Flow, movement, adaptability, persistence, clarity, strength in softness, transparency, and gentle power. I invite you to cultivate the attitude and practice of going with the flow— when you come into our studio, and in your everyday life.

Together, we are weaving something sacred. I look forward to meeting you there.

With love & light, Letitia
