~ TEEN WELLBEING ~
Happy to be back joining Deeside Wellbeing Collective’s new block of Yoga & Mindfulness for Teens, Tuesdays 3:45-4:45pm
•
This programme is open to young people S1-S6, providing a relaxing, calm space to help teens develop tools to navigate stress, gain focus and self-confidence through a variety of mindfulness and wellbeing practises.
•
We begin tomorrow, with restorative yoga hosted by moi 😊
I’m looking forward to sharing a lovely nourishing class offering the experience of active rest, taking away techniques to support wellbeing that can be replicated during study leave or simply have in the “toolbox” for times of need in the future.
•
Spaces are still available and can be booked via Gymcatch - search for Deeside Wellbeing Collective.
Each week the session will be delivered by a different practitioner .themwith.kindness

~ THANK YOU & HAPPY NEW YEAR ~

I hope you’ve been enjoying a restful festive period. The past few months have presented challenges for me, with family illness and cancelled plans.
•
My birthday, which falls just before Christmas, often coincides with the busiest period of seasonal prep. Latterly, I’ve resolved to appreciate the positives of the season, lights twinkling, a sense of quiet expectation in the air with the promise of slower days offering opportunity for reflection and rest.
•
A rare sunny (birth)day guided me to step back and prioritise being in the moment.
It can be surprisingly difficult to pause, reflect and be present, but these moments are so vital to our wellbeing.
•
In yogic philosophy we learn about Dharma - our life’s purpose. It is considered to be better to live your own Dharma imperfectly than another’s perfectly. As we enter 2026, I encourage you to join me to look for the glimmers, the joys, seek out what inspires you, allowing these moments to guide your path, one small step at a time.
•
~ NAMASTE ~ from my heart to yours.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has connected with me through yoga and those I’ve yet to meet. Your support and feedback is one of my “glimmers” and a big part of my Dharma 😃💝
•
I have a couple of special restorative yoga events coming up, as well as weekly classes starting next week.
Both Candlelight Yoga and weekly classes are fully booked but there is still space for Deep Winter Rest in February 15th 5-7pm.
You can book your spot using the link below

~ CHRISTMAS EVE ~
🎄 Peace and Joy at Finzean a couple of weeks ago helped us realise the importance of rest amidst all the doing.
You have done enough 🤗

Now, time for YOU - breathe and enjoy x

At Finzean I offered a short journalling exercise “Balance The Baubles” ☺️
When we are juggling balls (or baubles), we can decide which to catch, which to bounce and which to drop…so…

🔴 Which metaphorical baubles are most important?
Put those front and centre.

🟢 Which not so?
Put those further back.

🟠 Which could you pack away again until later?

🟣 Which might you bin?!

We also hummed together - so good for toning the vagus nerve and settling the nervous system. If you can’t manage to balance the baubles, take a steady breath and hum!

Merry Christmas everyone 💝

Thank you so much to each and every one that has joined me on the mat this year. I appreciate you all 💝 and look forward to a new year full of possibilities 😃

Have a lovely festive season and remember “A savasana a day keeps the nonsense away”
Take a pause, take a slow breath, soften the shoulders, soften the brow…good enough is good enough 🤗

~ BIRTHDAY YOGA ~
What a joy to share restorative yoga with a beautiful private group of ladies celebrating a 40th birthday 💝
We had ALL the props! Pic was before adding blankets, cushions, strap and lavender eye pillow 😜 Nothing but the best for the birthday girl.

•
I shared this poem amongst others and was so pleased to hear the words resonated 💗
“Trust the seasons of your life. Trust the timing of your journey”
•
Thank you for having me 🙏😊
•
Thank you for such apt words as always 👏
