Happy Guru Poornima!

To hear or think of the word ‘Guru’ can evoke many different feelings. But Guru Poornima is a very special, auspicious day. For Ram and me, it signifies a day to acknowledge all the different teachers we have encountered in our lives. From our parents. Friends. And our spiritual teachers.

Anyone in life who has switched on a light within us. Of curiosity, of awareness, of inspiration.

Then there is the Guru Tattwa, the inner Guru. The light that shines from within. The one who silently guides us through life.

Hari Om Tat Sat.
Namo Narayan
Jai Ho 🙏

📌 You might want to save this post. Yoga Nidra is the one practice I return to again and again. It’s also a practice I recommend to everyone!

Evoking deep relaxation is just one of the many benefits Yoga Nidra gifts you.

This is because, during the practice, your body and mind enter a state of conscious sleep whilst remaining awake and aware.

It’s here that your energy reserves are replenished. You could say, it’s like the perfect rest break!

The relaxation response you experience through Yoga Nidra brings a sense of peace and calmness to your body and mind.

All our students love it. In fact, one of my students messaged me this week and said... “ I’ve always played a lot of sports so I was fine on a physical level, but found the last 20 minutes or so of your class soooo relaxing.”

I think everyone should have a recording of Yoga Nidra in their self-care toolbox.

That’s why we’re gifting you a FREE 20-minute version the full practice – you can access the link in our BIO – or type Yoga Nidra in the comments and I’ll send you the link.

It’s available in English or Spanish.

Awareness makes your world come alive.

Everyday experiences are transformed - colours are more vibrant, the sounds of the birds singing, the waves crashing into the shoreline are more noticeable.

This state of awareness connects you back to Self, the one beneath the social mask and the learned behaviours.

In my new blog, I've shared some simple, Ayurvedic practices to help clear the heaviness of winter and restore balance as we transition into spring.

These aren't huge changes but small, simple tweaks that can make a real difference in how you feel day to day.

How do you honour your energy shifts?

One day, you wake up and you’re energised and ready to take on the world. The next? You wake up feeling out of sorts, and just want to pull the duvet over your head and shut out the world, and you have no idea why.

Life moves in cycles. Your energy shifts. The key isn’t to fight it. Developing self-awareness allows you to:

🙏 Notice how you’re feeling.
🙏 Ask yourself what you need.
🙏 and give yourself permission to adjust.

This is self-awareness, (mindfulness), noticing without judgment and responding with care. Some days, that might mean pushing yourself forward.

Other days, it means resting, honouring what you need. Both are valid.

For more mindful insights like this, I send out a little something each week, my thoughts on yoga, Ayurveda, meditation and mindfulness, plus simple ways to feel more balanced in daily life.

Between work and life admin, simplicity can feel miles away. 😊

But simplicity isn’t about doing less, it’s about focusing on what truly matters. Happiness comes when we let go of life’s unnecessary complexities and make space for what fills us up.

Slowing down so you can be present, rather than rushing through life ticking boxes. Loving generously, caring deeply, and speaking kindly both to yourself and others.

Here are a few things to think about this week:

💛 Try to take a pause and a deep, conscious breath before reacting.

💛 Speak kindly to yourself. Show yourself the same compassion you give to others.

💛 Take 10 minutes just for you, a quiet cuppa, a walk, or simply sitting quietly.

When we offer love, empathy, and understanding without judgment, to others and ourselves, life feels a little lighter. 💛

The clocks have changed, and suddenly my favourite evening walks are happening in darkness 🌙

The thing is, you don’t need huge chunks of time to take care of your wellbeing.

Small moments, mindfully taken, can make a massive difference to your day.

Here are 3 ways you can find 10 minutes even on the busiest days.

Which tip resonates with you? Let me know in the comments. 💛

You know those friends who show up at the right moment. The ones who know when you need a change of scenery, a long walk, or simply a message to say, “thinking of you.”

Think about someone in your ‘soul family’ who has made a difference in your life, maybe recently, or in the past. Could you reach out to them this week?

Sometimes the smallest gestures create the strongest connections.

Isn’t it more fulfilling to live your own journey, bumps and all, rather than trying to live up to the expectations of others? Celebrate your individuality, use your voice. Be true to yourself. 🙏

✨You know that thing you’ve been putting off? The one that makes your heart race just thinking about it?

It’s funny how we often tuck away our dreams, isn’t it? Fear or self-doubt creeps in, and suddenly we’re holding back.

I’ve been guilty of this too. 🙄 It took me ages to start writing a weekly newsletter. I kept thinking, “Who’ll want to read what I have to say?” or “What if it fails?” But once I took that first step, the feedback I’ve received so far was so rewarding.

So, how about taking one small step today? Just a little nudge toward your dream, it could be all it takes to get started.

I’ve decided I’m not holding back anymore. How about you?
