✨ A nourishing, nurturing morning of self-care. ✨

Shalena guided us through a gentle seated practice, softening our necks, shoulders, and spines before flowing into the sweetest face yoga.

We moved through acupressure points and facial exercises to melt tension, smooth lines, awaken lymph flow, and invite fresh energy to the skin.

I could feel my nervous system unwinding… releasing through the vagus nerve, yawning and sighing, not from tiredness, but from letting go.

We sealed the practice with balancing Nadi Shodhana, breathing peace into every cell. 🌬️

From that stillness, we drifted into the heavenly tones of my Alchemy Crystal Sound Journey.
Pure magic, vibration, and calm.

We closed our morning with oracle cards, sweet treats, and soulful chats. Our hearts full, spirits lifted. 💫💗

It was so well received that we’re already planning to do it again in the New Year. Who’s up for a fresh reset for body, mind, and soul? Let us know below. We can’t wait to share this healing space with you again. ✨

PS: I must say, it was a real treat to be a student in my own studio for a change. Thank you 🙏💛. Give her a follow. You will also find her teaching face yoga online. 😊

Today (like most days) I started out with a long list of things to do running through my mind — plan lessons for the week, clean the studio, answer emails, go to the gym, tidy the house, make soup, do laundry, buy food… the list goes on. And yes, I did manage to tick off a few of those things.

But I also paused. I stepped outside, took a few photos of the garden, picked flowers, sipped coffee in the warm sun, petted the friendly cat who visits, and soaked up the last whispers of summer before autumn settles in. Sometimes, that’s the most important thing on the list.

Invitation by Mary Oliver

Oh do you have time to linger for just a little while out of your busy
and very important day for the goldfinches that have gathered in a field of thistles
for a musical battle, to see who can sing the highest note, or the lowest,
or the most expressive of mirth, or the most tender? Their strong, blunt beaks drink the air
as they strive melodiously not for your sake and not for mine
and not for the sake of winning but for sheer delight and gratitude – believe us, they say, it is a serious thing
just to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world. I beg of you,
do not walk by without pausing to attend to this rather ridiculous performance.
It could mean something. It could mean everything. It could be what Rilke meant, when he wrote: You must change your life.

🍂🌼 I’ve been sharing these words in classes this week:

This Autumn, let something die.
A worry, a relationship, a project that has run its course. Let go of anxiety over the future. Let go of guilt.
Let go of other people’s dreams for you. Let go of the fear that happiness or success or love or joyousness somehow isn’t for you.
Let go of feeling unwanted. Go outside, can you feel how deeply your presence is craved here?
Let go of the small and burdensome things. Gifts never opened. Keys without a lock. Broken earrings, old love letters, the ephemera on your fridge.
As David Whyte writes, “Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.” This Autumn, let go of all the clothes you have outgrown.
Let go of comparison.
Let go of doubt.
Let go of the feeling that you are somehow not good enough.
Because every imperfect apple that lays soft in your hands, and every ray of low Autumn sunlight that warms you through woolens will tell you a different story, a much truer story. The story that you are more, much more, than enough. That you bless this world simply by being alive.

~ Asia Suler, Woolgathering & Wildcrafting

🌏 Connecting to Earth Energy in Late Summer 🌏

The late summer season is a sacred time that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it’s that sweet pause between the fiery yang of summer and the contracting yin of autumn. This transitional moment is connected to the Earth element. The center that nourishes, grounds, and sustains us, just as the planet itself holds and supports all life.

The Earth element corresponds to the Spleen and Stomach meridians, which govern digestion, not just of food, but of ideas, experiences, and emotions. When this energy is balanced, we feel stable, nurtured, and clear. When it’s out of balance, we might feel worry, overthinking, or heaviness in body and spirit.

This week’s class is dedicated to exploring and harmonizing this Earth energy. Through:
✨ Somatic movement to sense and soften into the body’s natural rhythms
✨ Yoga postures that open the inner legs (the pathway of the Spleen meridian)
✨ Pranayama to bring balance and steadiness to the mind
✨ Intention (Yi)—the spirit of the Spleen, guiding us to focus, center, and ground

Together, we’ll explore how to move from our center, the same way the Earth spins effortlessly around her axis. By connecting inward, we cultivate a sense of rootedness and stability that carries us through change.

Come prepared to slow down, nourish, and connect back to Earth’s mothering energy 🧘‍♀️🌿

Few drop-in spaces available this week. Mon 6pm, Tue 10am, Wed 6pm. £15 each. Must be booked. Message me if you’d like to come 🍃

The last weekend of September felt like a mini holiday, seeing Kent through tourists’ eyes, making time to enjoy our local area. 🏰🐚

I had my nephew and his girlfriend staying for a few days, so we made the most of it! We explored Leeds Castle (I’ve been many times and it’s always a little different). Right now, the interior is beautifully dedicated to Lady Bailey, while the gardens and birds of prey displays never disappoint. 🦅🌸

We also wandered from Tankerton to Whitstable and back, soaking in the sea views, before finishing the weekend at our own Minnis Bay with fish & chips and one of the best sunsets around. 🌅✨

🌻 It’s the weekend. Finally. Turn off the news. Enjoy some quiet time. Slow everything down. Sip tea. Watch the world go by. Rest …

RESTING IS DOING

If only we could see the power in rest.
If only we could attach to it, the worth it so deserves.
If only we could open our minds to the idea, that everything in nature has its time to rise and its time to descend.
That each of these acts is just a important as the other.
And that is exactly as it must be.
If only we could see the courage it takes to lay aside the worries, the fears and the comparison, just for a few hours, to let the mind, spirit and body come together again.
Doing the one thing they all require so much… nothing.
If only we could see the power in rest.
Because resting is very much doing.

🌙 Friday Night by Candlelight Yin Yoga Workshop 🌙

Take a pause before the weekend begins. This special Friday night session is all about slowing down, softening, and creating space in your body, mind, and soul. ✨

🌙 What is Yin Yoga?
Yin is a deeply nourishing style of yoga where postures are held gently for several minutes with the support of props. Instead of flowing quickly, we sink in slowly — targeting the connective tissues, joints, and fascia. In our fast-paced, always-on world, Yin offers the perfect antidote: grounding the nervous system, improving flexibility, easing stress, and creating calm clarity within.

🌙 This is your invitation to press pause, unwind, recharge, and leave feeling lighter, restored, and more spacious.

🗓 Friday 14th November
⏰ 6–8 pm
💷 £30
⚡ Only 3 spaces left!

🌙 Everything is provided — the studio is fully equipped, warm, clean, and deliciously scented with essential oils. Just turn up. Let go. Relax. Be.

🍂💫 My heart is full after our Autumn Equinox workshop. What a beautiful afternoon spent together.

Moving through yoga, bathing in sound, drawing cards, sweating in the sauna, plunging into the cold (for the brave ones!), wandering the garden, picking apples, sipping tea, sharing cake, releasing into the fire, and simply being with one another.

Thank you to everyone who came along and brought your presence, your openness, and your warmth. It was such a joy to pause, connect, and step gently into the new season.

💫 Go slowly into Autumn,
notice the colours,
sense the breeze amongst the trees
as September softly sweeps
the summer away.
Autumn is nature’s way of making room
after the brimful abundance of summer.
A time for slowly shedding
what is no longer needed.

Let go of what you don’t need.
Let the gentle breeze help you discover
which leaves are ready to fall.
Let them go, lovingly,
and with gratitude,
knowing summer will come again.
Smile inside your heart,
and feel the earth beneath your feet,
safe in the knowledge that
change can be beautiful.

~ Abigail Warfield

🍎 I’m excited for the release, renewal, and gentle slowing down that autumn invites. Wishing you a soft and easy transition. 🍁🍂
