I wrote a weird little poem when I was on the train in Yorkshire this weekend….

I don’t care
About your data
Or how many numbers you collect
I care about the clouds hanging ragged and low
Misty over the city
Like old grey lace on a vintage skirt hem
And when they’ll release their nourishment to the trees
Waiting patiently below
I don’t care about how many sites you release and how many platforms that cuts across
I care about how many birds are in the sky and insects fly by
When the flowers will bloom and why more people don’t wonder too…
I don’t care about cross-platforming and vectors and groups
Unless we’re talking groups of biodiversity, living organisms and their habitats
The gradients and distinctions of the hills in the rain, and valleys and rivers, rock-faces and stone walls…
You can flicker your eyes at me all you like mate…
Until you talk about something biophilic
And can tell me why the sky is always blue when we reach Yorkshire…
It’s boring.

- an ode to the environment and the man on the other side of the train…

Eight years…. 🌷

Since I stood on the beach with and a bunch of others celebrating our weeks of study in India.

Eight years of the best friends, ridiculous experiences, excitement and intensity. Growing my own business, taking it to another country, nurturing it into trainings and retreats, it’s been crazy.

Being a yoga teacher (yes, I question that title - guide, facilitator…?) stems from decades of practice, a lifetime of movement nourishing every part of me. A practice that’s got me through depression, philosophy that’s guided me through anxiety, asana that have allowed me to explore and accept my body through our and sickness, regularity that’s pushed me to learn and grow and understand.

And believe me, it still doesn’t always work. Return, relearn, try again, is the journey.

Every ounce of what I’ve learned along the way goes into what I share in spaces, and will continue to.

That’s not stuff that you learn in 200-hours. It marinades through life, over time.

Thanks to everyone pictured here and more. Particularly for those playtimes years ago in Leeds 😅

Things I’m looking forward to….

☀️ more open shoulders
☀️ learning and growing
☀️ forest walks
☀️ fresh figs
☀️ sunset on the beach….

Power is the expression of the sacred in its evolutionary unfolding.

I’m doing some yoga.

Listening.
Observing.
Balancing.

Not asana-ing.

Not at the moment anyway.

These last few years have been intense for me. And whilst the psychological rollercoaster has eased - of leaving my life in Leeds to move to Copenhagen, trying to create a future with an alcoholic, closing an IVF programme and giving up on being a mom - my body is making its presence known…..

I’ve never taken any rest, fully. It’s always been trips to see someone or something, feeding my need to be active which as joyous as it’s been has been continually sticking a plaster over a gaping wound and clear avoidance tactics.

Self-care routines, weekly art trips, time with friends, moving my body - it’s all been amazing. But sometimes we just need to stop.

The impressions become too much and space and stillness is now required. The muddy waters need to clear and effortless action needs to be taken, Wu Wei - low resistance, minimal tasks, momentum growing quietly.

This is me.

My lymphatic system is over-worked, and my immune system is empty. I’ve had chronic headaches for longer than I can remember and developing pneumonia before Christmas just took the final bits of me.

No studio classes for a while. I need to reset. And I’m devastated to not be teaching, but I need what minimal energy I have for myself folks…

I’m taking slow mornings, limiting myself to 3 tasks a day - laundry, a class, cooking, seeing a friend, planning my trainings - and enjoying watching Stranger Things with my cat.

I highly recommend this course of action for anyone feeling on the edge - minimise your days.

Stay funky, and I’ll see you in class soon 😘

It's the last TWO DAYS of early bird (ie; cheap) pricing on my Elemental Yin course at the brilliant Yoga Kula in Leeds....

Last year was an absolute blast, and I'm really looking forward to being back this spring. We share, learn, play, practice, dance, and absorb all things to do with elements and energetics.

It's a fantastic weekend in beautiful surroundings.

🌸

Rest in awareness that there’s no separation between you and your world
Energy within, reflects energy without
Energy without, comes from energy within
Your calm breath, your quiet mind, your stillness, creates the same in the space all around you.
EARLY BIRD pricing ends in two days on my training at where we explore more of the above ideas and feelings 🥰
And also, my Sweden 🇸🇪 forest retreat is extended to three nights in the autumn, for a softer less ‘educational’ deep dive into elemental practices 🍂

My Story

I’m an English yoga teacher and Ayurvedic Yoga Massage therapist, now living in beautiful Copenhagen... The first time I practiced yoga was in 2003, after suffering a back injury and being unable to continue with martial arts – practices I loved because of the mix of physical and philosophical aspects. For a few years I simply used yoga asana as part of a rehabilitiation process, opening up my body, regaining mobility, building strength and learning how to move fluidly again. And then eventually I became engrossed in other aspects of the Eight Limb path – my classes now incorporating mindful movement, breathwork and meditation, with encouragement on how to take various aspects into busy daily lives.

The classes I teach follow creative sequences, unusual patterns, focusing on breath and movement between shapes, incorporating Ashtanga asanas, resting in poses, to notice and feel, and improve mobility and strength. I build in Yin stretching at points, restorative positions for closing relaxation, as well as opportunities for mudra and meditation, with appropriate readings. This all leads nicely into AYM therapies, which is about softening the body and the breath through passive movement and massage, to find deeper relaxation.
