Hi I’m Lucy — the heart and voice behind Blue Wren Bhakti.
This is the story of how twenty-five years of yoga, a broken body, and the ancient river of mantra brought me home to myself.
A Life Woven With Yoga — Long Before I Knew Its Name
For twenty-five years, yoga has been the thread running through every chapter of my life:
Hatha, somatics, meditation, philosophy, mantra, Vedic chanting, Sanskrit, the Yoga Sutras, and the devotional heart of Bhakti.
I hold a 500hr Yoga Australia Teacher Training, a 50hr Yin Yoga certification. With a solid foundation in Ayurvedic study, I am dedicated to living a life in harmony with the teachings. Forever a student of yoga, I study Vedic Chant and Sanskrit with a committed and deep daily practice, I attend weekly classes with my mentor in Yoga and Vedic Chant as well as attending monthly workshops and retreats.
The Injury That Became a Doorway
When a back injury suddenly ended my midwifery studies, my life collapsed. I was told by specialists I would never practice yoga again, and I was devastated. I spent two years trying to walk again, and I was giving up...
But that breaking wasn’t punishment — it was initiation.
I healed through meditation, visualisation, breathwork, Ayurveda, and a softer, therapeutic approach to yoga.
The injury didn’t take me away from yoga.
It took me into its deepest, most subtle layers, where movement gave way to listening and effort softened into devotion.
It was there that sound found me- not as performance, but as prayer- and mantra became the way I reached the divine.
Through vibration and breath I learned to rest inside what cannot be injured, to be carried rather than to push, until the sacred revealed itself as something intimate, steady and quietly alive in me.
'Om karomi yadyat sakalaṁ parasmai
nārāyaṇāya iti samarpayāmi'
~ All that I do in every moment & in every action,
I offer wholly & completely to the divine.

If you feel called, I’m here — with my harmonium, my tanpura, my lineage, and the practices that rebuilt my life from the inside out. I would be so delighted to share them with you.
