It speaks to the cycles of life—descent into the underworld, the loss of innocence, and the joyous return to light. In many ways, Persephone’s journey mirrors our own cycles of growth, change, and awakening.
In the Practice with Clara Virtual Yoga Studio, we honor mythology as a way to deepen our connection to our own unfolding. Persephone represents both the maiden and the queen, the darkness and the light, the descent and the return.
Her myth teaches us that we must embrace all aspects of ourselves—the quiet rest of winter and the expansive flourishing of spring.
Like Persephone, we rise. We move from darkness into light, from dormancy into creation, and from hidden potential into full expression. What is ready to emerge within you?
My deepest passion is to support you to reclaim your personal power and help you live a fulfilled and satisfied life.
I am a certified Quantum Life Coach with degrees in Psychology and Archaeology. I have been teaching yoga, studying Mountain Shamanism and the energetic healing arts for over 20 years, and been an intuitive and channel my entire life.
My highest purpose is to help people remember they are loved. This is a true homecoming. Homecoming means we get to identify what we believe to be true, not what society has told us we need to be. We learn how to identify and discern our own feelings, beliefs, sensations, and then have the courage to live them outloud in the world. I am here for the wild one, the edge walker, the curse breaker, the life claimer. I am here for those who are ready to transform their lives.
Find a comfortable seat or lie down, feeling supported.
Close your eyes.
Breathe deeply.
Release expectations, judgment, and resistance.
Invite in comfort, peace, and presence.
Spring carries Venus energy—luxury, beauty, and nourishment. Like Taurus season, it calls us to flourish, to receive, to open gently to life’s unfolding.
What do you need to feel fully nourished?
What will help you rise into your full illumination?
Persephone, daughter of Demeter, was taken to the underworld by Hades.
Her mother’s grief caused the world to fall into darkness.
She was eventually allowed to return, but only for six months of the year—spending the other six in the underworld.
Her return to the surface marks the arrival of spring, but it is her mother’s joy that brings the world back to life.
This myth speaks to cycles of transformation:
Persephone is both the maiden and the queen—she is innocence and wisdom, softness and strength, surrender and sovereignty.
The myth of Persephone is also a reminder of our connection to the land.
How can we honor the cycles of life more deeply?
🌿 Grow something – A plant, a garden, a flower.
🌿 Spend time in nature – Not consuming, just being.
🌿 Celebrate beauty – Through art, movement, or creativity.
Persephone’s time in the underworld is not just about loss, but about transformation.
In mythology, many goddesses descend into the dark:
We all go through periods of descent—times of uncertainty, loss, or deep inner work.
Rather than fearing the dark, can we see it as part of the journey?
What has your time in the “underworld” taught you?
When Persephone returns, the earth blooms.
But she is no longer just a maiden—she is also queen of the underworld.
This is an invitation to step forward as your whole self.
What wisdom have you gained from your own journey?
How can you honor your own rebirth?
Find a comfortable position.
Close your eyes.
Breathe deeply.
Visualize yourself rising from the earth, like a sprout breaking through the soil.
What is ready to flourish within you?
What energy is moving through you in this season?
Take a deep breath.
Place your hands over your heart.
Ask yourself:
Let the answers come with ease.
Maybe you need:
🌿 Rest
🌿 A shift in perspective
🌿 Community & connection
🌿 Creativity & expression
Whatever it is, honor it.
Spring is a time of emergence, but on your own terms.
Take a final deep breath.
Smile softly.
Feel your own radiance expanding.
Persephone reminds us that:
What wants to live through you in this moment?
The world needs your magic.
