✨ Sunday 2.30-5pm ✨ **only 4 places** left in person

😌 All yoga is restorative in some way of course. Restoring ourselves to the present moment, to our deepest essence and sense of connection.

🙏🏼 This workshop for students familiar with Iyengar yoga will use props to support the frame of the body in asanas such that we can release and relax into them, creating space for breath, for awareness, for being.

🎄Experienced students with all the props may attend online from home. Contact me if you're not sure.

💝 A little gift to ourselves - time, presence, community and rest.

👉🏼 Book online through the website.

Yoga practice at

I was practising with a few intentions.
✨ considering my students and how the asanas might work for them
✨ continuing work started in an online lesson yesterday with Julie Brown and lengthening my upper arms
✨ chest openness and freedom ahead of pranayama

Also reel making practice! Experimenting with capcut and my own levels of patience for editing 🙂

Yoga practice with all these intentions doesn't feel like 'true' practice in that I was often taken out of myself, where the point is to go inwards.

Nevertheless I had some insights both sensing and feeling into my own body, breath, awareness, action / reaction and had some realisations about how I might need to teach to help certain students. So never time wasted!

And a confirmation that if I decide to do reel making I'll do it differently next time! Live and learn...

Collective noun suggestions please 🙂 👇🏼

A joy and privilege to host and co-facilitate one of the annual Exchange of Learning day for Iyengar yoga teachers and trainees being held across the UK & Ireland over the next couple of months.

A chance to connect, practice and share experiences and insights with each other. There is such support in community and with the global network of Iyengar yogis too. We all remain students, putting ourselves in other people's shoes (or at least attempting to) and developing love and compassion to motivate our ongoing learning and practice.

Much gratitude to the Iyengar Yoga UK professional development / EOL committee for organising the programme and IyengaryogaIreland for doing all the bookings!

That time of year again - admin with fingerless gloves (knitted by Ma) - and once breakfast has gone down maybe the occasional handstand for an energy boost!

Come and tie yourself in knots with me 😊🤸 Well, that's not all yoga is about of course! My monthly Wednesday morning workshop (3hrs) is to give us time for deeper asana practice, letting the body get warmed up, and also to devote attention and intention to the resulting effects - not just on body but on breath, mind and soul.

Aimed at existing Iyengar yoga students, trainees and teachers. We'll practice inversions. Alternatives and modifications always given.

Fidgety practice. Sometimes I get on my mat even though I don't feel particularly inspired. It was dark this morning and pouring with rain. I was late to the studio. I didn't have a practice plan and was starting with the critical thoughts, then I just decided to play around a bit.

I noticed in baddha konasana my outer left hamstring was tighter compared to on right leg, where adductor was tighter. That made me curious 🤔 so then I explored and ended up trying padmasana variations, and then went as far into eka pada sirsasana (foot behind head) as I've ever managed without help!

Remembered I wanted to try ways of getting into inversions to help my students, and put myself into the body of a couple of people I could think of to see if stepping into sirsasana from a chair would feel good, supported by bricks. It did 🙂

Wanted a cosy calming sarvangasana and always like making a little cave for my head at the wall so did that one.

After relaxation = I felt great! Open, happy, having achieved something I didn't think I'd have been in that mood for.

That "practice without attachment to the outcome" advice from Patanjali's yoga sutras really works 😁!

Love the curiosity in my Iyengar yoga practice!

Another beautiful weekend at Carlingford Yoga - a group of gorgeous humans exploring what a yoga practice has to offer, marveling at nature, listening to our bodies, supporting each other.

How special. And how lucky are we?!
