Hi friends! 🎙️🧊

Join me in this conversation with Cambria!

Cambria Olding is an Atlantic Canada based yoga practitioner and teacher, mother, certified Cold Water Therapy Coach, and founder of East Coast Plunge. Her work is rooted in both tradition and lived experience, shaped by over a decade of practice and years of guiding others through movement, breath, and presence.

In 2021, she took her first cold plunge, an experience that shifted something deep and became a steady part of her life. Since then, she has been exploring the connection between yoga and cold water, where breath meets intensity and practice meets real life.

Through motherhood, music, movement, and moments of discomfort, Cambria is interested in what it means to live the teachings, not perfectly, but honestly. Her work is about bringing the sutras off the page and into everyday life in a way that feels real, human, and accessible.

Springtime finds allow me to reflect on my gratitude that I get to breathe this air

That there are gifts all around me. I love this photo of this busy bee. They are such impressive lil guys.

Throughout the winter I wrote a ton of little notes, blurbs, mini shares that eventually would be pulled out of the rough-rough drafts + put into being by tweaking them, lengthening them out, giving them visuals, allowing them as written words on a screen to have feeling, + meaning.

I’m not sure that any of those will be actually shared, but I’m happy I got them out, anyways.

Some of what I experienced throughout the winter wasn’t rooted in the mentality of feeling extremely grateful, or joyful. This winter, when I felt through my heart I was lacking in hope, in prosperity.

I felt a bit lost + unsure of so much, for probably one of the first times of my life. I wondered if I’m on the right track at all.

I have a lot of faith, I have a lot of understanding that what is meant to fall into my energetic space is meant to be there.

But through the dark months, I moved through sadness, a new + unfamiliar loneliness, feeling as though I was lacking social stimulation, paralleled with not wanting to talk.

As the sun comes out joy returns. And I’m reminded that true wisdom is knowing that the day the seed is planted is not the day you eat the fruit.

I beg you not to fall into the AI trap
I beg you not to lose your humanity.

When I’m in the city I only see people looking down at their phones
Trying to automate their lives
I wonder, what happened to actually living it?

Using AI to automate your responses, ideas, replies, business plans, captions, books, essays:

Has us losing the ability of critical thinking
Has us losing intelligence

Has us in an endless email chain of computers talking to one another. Forcing your response to come from an automated suggestion, that asks you to change the phrasing of your sentence. To fit into what? Why is it trying to remove me of my uniqueness? Of fun + s***k? Why is it trying to make you + I the same?

It’s a good question to ask. What’s with all this fake, ego driven, ‘professionalism’

I think of the big feats of humans, such as The Sistine Chapel. How we used to take time, create beauty, + apply ourselves. + how everything now feels so cheap, disposable, quick, + leaves us with quantity over quality.

I think of the memes I see for chatGPT that joke of the responses it gives you. Ones I’ve heard before. “And that’s not being a bad person. That’s being honest — and that’s brave.” I realize it’s telling us a lot of the same thing, the same phrasing, the same words of reassurance. I realize I don’t want to be spoken to the way thousands are being spoken to. I want depth, conversation, real ideas, + concepts.

I want to use my actual brain power.

Someone told me that they feel their cognitive function is down + that they can’t come up with well structured sentences anymore, not realizing this is because of their crutch on AI.

And this isn’t just in conversation. We’re fooled by the videos we see, the images, people don’t know what’s real + what isn’t anymore.

I fell into it, too. I started to use chatGPT for organizing, to write SEO sentences, to help me with my anxiety. Instead of seeking people. I stopped about a month ago + haven’t looked back. I’ve trusted instead in my knowing, in my gut, in those I love, + in my therapist, who is educated, + actually knows how to help me with whatever I come to her with.

Hello friends!! 🎙️💖

Join me for this solo sesh I recorded on Valentine’s day. A day that reminds me that there’s lots to be grateful for, to appreciate, and so much to love in this special world of ours. Friends, flowers, moments, music, family, or watching someone hold the door for someone + them sharing a smile + a thank you.

Love + blessings,

I honestly love the women I get to work with. I love witnessing their growth year after year. Them stepping into their feminine.

The way they show up, bold, honest, telling story, with purpose, in places of celebration or in sorrow. It’s been an honour to witness the changes, the intentions, the reasons.

+ there’s not much I love more than receiving an email saying I want to book, I’m moving through a lot of grief, + I want to capture it + support my healing.

There’s not much I love more than receiving an email saying I’m done with my job, I don’t want to work for someone else anymore, I want these photos for my business, for my dreams, to create the life I see for myself.

There’s not much I love more than receiving an email that says, it’s my 50th birthday this year + I want to feel safe, and comfortable in my body. I don’t want to be at war with her anymore.

Truly this photography journey didn’t have the unfolding that it’s had for me in my mind when I started. If you remember I lost my job and I just needed to survive so I started taking more photos. With time I grew, developed, and realized I was grounding people down. I was reminding them of their hearts + love they share, coming back to them. I realized there was something special here.

It feels as though this work, in breath, in softening, in rooting down, in being one with the earth-beings, in capturing it in truth through photography, chose me.

Photos of on Bowen Island last summer, our 4th session together. Grateful.

calling it all divine

forces you to release your resistance

allowing it to align

brings you into equanimity with existence

“Our time together allowed me to feel both like an artist + the art. I remember how stiff + awkward I was at first + through the safety you cultivate my truest expression got to come out + the whole session felt divinely playful. Forever grateful”
“This was so much fun”
“Whitney was SO incredible to work with”
Thank you so much for this Whitney”
“This photoshoot I did with Whitney became the passageway I didn’t know I needed into my womanhood. A space to honour my strength + embrace my power, + fully step into the self I am meant to be. I feel radiant, whole, + alive in this photo.”

I just want to play + create art with you as my subject. I want to remind you of the matriarchy. I want to remind you of the beauty of your being. I want you to feel grounded into the moss beneath your toes, take a breath, + allow your eyes to well as you witness the beauty of nature reflected back into your heart. I want you to be moved in a way that reminds you that you don’t need to be so hard on yourself + that it doesn’t need to be this way.

I don’t need to play small anymore and not be humbly grateful for the kind words I’ve heard. What people have shared with me. I’m in a place of healed energy where I can say: yes, I’m a good person. I have done a great job of holding that space for that person. I listened + honoured the story they were wanting to tell in these photos. I saw them.

There was a time where I dismissed the compliment, the kind share. But now I hear them, understand that there’s truth behind them, + people see things that I don’t always see. The same way we see beauty + goodness in others + share it with them. Whether they see it or not, you see their excellence + where they shine.

While still learning, still making mistakes, sometimes missing the mark in the photo session, still under/over exposing what would have been a GREAT photo. I offer myself grace.

Looking forward to this upcoming season of change, of forward momentum, for abandoning limiting self beliefs, + taking the breath + reminding yourself, you’re safe, right now, as you read these words, you are okay. We are always here with you, + for you.

Remind many of you that you may feel as though this is a new self.

Some may feel that you’re coming into a self that you always knew was in there. One that feels comfortingly familiar. That flows in now with ease.

Year one

Last time we were here was 2017. I reflect on that year, going through my first ever real break up, the shift I felt, the newness to the energy. + the friends I had around me who knew this principle of the universe. To remind me that 9 year is coming to an end + we’re starting anew.

I have been fortunate to witness + support my friends in the 9 year through:

Seeing their hardship, + be a place of foundation for them to process, move through, + hold gentle space for the truth without bypassing the reality of our lives + the challenge that is life

Their final tests of the year of the snake over the past few weeks

Witnessing them coming into ‘new’ self + see the change. How ‘no’s’ are easy to process now, + the forward momentum towards their goals, ones that seem effortless as the work has been done, spread out over the past 365 days

Seeing them rid themselves of old beliefs + finally go for it

To know that they’re deserving of the life they’ve always visualized for themselves

completion + creation
re-creation, even

Final
shedding
