A Spring Yoga Workshop Sunday 8th March There’s a moment every year when something shifts. The light changes.The air softens.And somewhere inside, we begin to feel ready. Ready to move a little more.Ready to clear out what feels heavy.Ready to welcome longer, brighter days. This workshop is a space to honour that shift — gently,Continue reading “🌷 Root & Rise”

This morning, something quite wonderful happened. It wasn’t raining. The sun was actually shining — so I went straight into the garden. I pulled a few weeds, did a little pruning, tidied here and there. Nothing dramatic. Just small, steady jobs. And yet… it felt completely different. Touching the earth again. Preparing the space. NoticingContinue reading “Shake off winter heaviness”

Autumn has a way of reminding us that change is natural — and that letting go can be beautiful. The trees don’t cling to their leaves, the birds don’t resist the pull to migrate, and the light gently fades earlier each day without apology. Yet for us, change can feel uncomfortable. We often hold onContinue reading “Letting Go of Attachment: Finding Ease in Change”

Have you noticed the days are starting to get longer? It is the perfect time to start awakening our body and mind to more energy.  It is still winter so we’re not talking oodles of energy that will get you to spring clean the entire house or start redesigning the entire garden – more aContinue reading “Struggling with Winter Sluggishness?

Some of these ladies have never done any exercise before but, suddenly, it feels like the right time. And yoga feels like the right choice. So what can yoga do that seems so relevant around that phaseContinue reading “Starting yoga over 50 (or later)”

When I first launched my yoga membership, it was at the tail end of lockdown and people weren’t too keen to go to busy halls and meet loads of people. A few years later, a lot has changed.  Thanks to the vaccine, Covid is a lot less of a threat and the majority of peopleContinue reading “I’m not sure about online yoga”

Last weekend, I took part in a training called Yoga for a holistic menopause. Menopause is often regarded as an uncomfortable phase of a woman’s life that brings with it hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia, increased anxiety, new aches and pain, loss of flexibility and a sense of dread. Basically, it isn’t something most womenContinue reading “Yoga for menopause”

I’ll be honest. I’m not.  Well, it depends. It’s complicated. Some bits I like, some bits I don’t. Some days are better than others. Some days, I am pleased with the reflection in the mirror. Some other days, all I can see is the lines around my eyes or the dark circles that underline them.Continue reading “How comfortable are you with your body?”

Earlier this month, I was having a chat with other “yoga people”. A few of us (which included me) mentioned that we were constantly on the go and didn’t feel all that relaxed and grounded – even though we were all doing our usual yoga practice.  What became clear to us was that we don’t stop and pause duringContinue reading “The power of a pause”

The first time I went to a yoga class, I really didn’t feel comfortable.  Yoga…  The word conjured up images of tall slim athletic-looking young women in beautiful outfits, effortlessly and gracefully bending forward to touch their toes before flowing through a whole sequence of movements. My complete exercise experience at that point consisted ofContinue reading “My first time”
