WINTERING THE WILD DAY RETREAT FEEDBACK ๐ŸŒ•๐Ÿบ No matter how long I do this work, or how many retreats I host, self doubt always creeps in, especially as it gets closer to the event. What I offer is not for everyone, and that is ok. I'm so lucky to align with such wonderful, open minded and courageous souls, and I'm always so appreciative to get this encouraging feedback. Thank you to these wild wolf women for their beautiful words ๐Ÿค

It was so amazing to finally welcome my first guests to Luna Moss last night for January's Sound Sleep sessions โœจ

TONIGHT welcomes Januaryโ€™s full moon ๐ŸŒ• traditionally named Wolf Moon in native America, inspired by the wolves who howled with hunger outside the villages. Wolves also howl for many other reasons, including to locate pack members, reinforce social bonds, and gather for hunting.

The message we receive from the wolf moon is to not to go it alone. Rather, to connect, commune and unite. ๐Ÿบ

The wolf teaches us that we thrive the most when we integrate ourselves within societies that lift and support us, be it community, family, friendships, work, or spirit. โœจ

As this wolf energy fills the skies, this is your opportunity to draw in the support you have around you, to not only survive, but to thrive.

As the moon's cyclical journey gently ebbs and flows, it understands that times of fullness will eventually be balanced with moments of healing darkness. This reflects our inward and outward focus, the duality of our energies and needs. This shows the purpose of duality in our yoga practice. The importance of community, compassion, and seeing others as we see ourselves, mirrored with introspection, self study, and listening in. The inner connection of mind body breath and soul as one.

Use your practice to connect with yogis all around the world ๐ŸŒ You are all united by this sacred, healing practice. The lifeforce you draw in and out via the breath, connects you with every living thing. You are not alone.

At the same time, remain receptive to the connection between your mind, body and soul. Befriend your body by tuning in to what your soul howls out for, so you can bespoke your yoga practice and daily life ๐Ÿบ What is your inner wolf hungry for? What does it crave?

"When I say 'happy new year', I'm not for a moment, expecting this to occur, for that is not possible, a year must be all things.

Happiness must come and go, like the tides and the winds,
just as sadness, and all the emotions in between.

When I say 'happy new year', I'm really wishing you, a baseline of peace, of gratitude.

Because if you can sit with these things, for the most part, happiness will thrive, when it does arrive, and sadness will know its place in the mix.

If you can nourish these things, daily, you will also grow hope, for it flourishes in such soil.

And hope is the key, to this enigmatic state of 'happiness' we seek.

When I say 'happy new year', I'm really wishing you more happy days, than sad days, more joy than misery, more laughter than tears... and the wisdom to accept, that they all belong.

Happy new year, my friends. Happy new year."

The progress, journey and growth of Luna Moss Studio really has been from the ground up ๐ŸŒฑ
We moved to this house in August and started digging up the whole garden with the idea of making it more sculptural, purposeful, low maintenance yet still full of life, like a peaceful Zen garden, eventually with the studio as the focal point.

We hired contractors to create the base for the studio to sit on, and to build the studio itself. However much of the garden work, painting and decorating was a DIY job!

This project has brought out many skills and ways of thinking in me that I never knew were there. I've created borders for flower beds with boulders. I've laid stepping stones down and mixed cement by hand in a bucket (with success). I've painted both the exterior and interior of the studio including the ceiling. I've installed a skirting board for crying out loud!

There has been so much mess, sand, confusion, self doubt, procrastination, back aches, frustration, lost sleep, sweat and tears gone into this and it's been entirely worth it! No one said growth and change is easy. It's meant so much to be involved in every aspect of this build, putting myself into its foundations and I cannot wait to see how Luna Moss blooms from here.

A big thank you to my husband and parents for helping out with some of the work.

What do you think of the transformation?!

THANK YOU ๐Ÿค having taught my final class of 2025, it feels like a good time to say a big THANK YOU.

Thank you to my team, pictured above.... Oh, wait, it's just me! ๐Ÿ˜‚ As well as your yoga teacher, I wear many different hats (and wouldn't have it any other way right now)... Marketing, admin, communications, finances, events planning, web and graphic design, DJ, chef, perpetual student of yoga and now studio owner! And it's all totally worth it, because of YOU!

By supporting my tiny business, you are also supporting my big dream and making it a reality! This job is my life force, purpose and calling, so the real THANK YOU goes to you for being part of it and keeping the dream alive and growing.

Without your presence at my classes, workshops, soundbaths, day and weekend retreats, and online video library, without your follows, likes, comments and shares on here, none of this would be possible! I'm so lucky to know you โœจ

Yoga continues to be an eye-opening, amazing journey for me, full of interesting twists and turns like a meandering forest path, and it's so amazing to have your company along the way.

I'm already excited to continue guiding you in your practice in the New Year and have lots of plans and ideas ๐Ÿฅฐ

But for now, I'm looking forward to a couple of weeks off to rest, socialise, reset, practice yoga myself and some doing nothing. Be sure to take care of yourself and keep your cup full over the busy festive period! โœจ

MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS ๐ŸŽ„

Here she is โœจ A dream has finally come into bloom!

I am very excited to, at last, introduce to you my brand new home studio, Luna Moss!

A space for connection between body and mind, earth and sky.

Surrounded by flora and fauna, nestled within Kings Heath, this purpose-built garden studio offers a cosy sanctuary away from the noise and busyness of city life.

Crafted from natural materials inside and out, this space encompasses the practices I offer around nature, the seasons and moon phases.

The studio is fully equipped with high-quality yoga mats, blocks, cushions, blankets and eye pillows so when you visit, all you need to bring is your wonderful self!

I cannot wait to welcome you โœจ

Join me in this lovely space for Sound Sleep on Sunday 4th January or the Luna Moss Women's Circle on Friday 23rd January โœจ

Here is where we welcome the winter solstice- the longest night of the year. This gradual shift from darkness is celebrated as a return to light, and as such is aligned with a sense of hope โœจ

But rather than fear the dark, we can take the opportunity to celebrate this nocturnal pause. Afterall, it's in the darkness where life begins, healing takes place and dreams come to life. The shimmering lights of Christmas are a reminder that even in the darkness there is always some light to guide us on our way.

In this week of maximum darkness, allow your yoga practice to centre around gathering in, healing, rest and sustenance for the cold months ahead. Perhaps light some candles and give artificial light a rest. Close your eyes as much as possible, learning to see in the proverbial dark, while allowing your inner light to intuitively guide you to discern what feels (rather than looks) best in the moment.

Perhaps indulge in some slow and simple sun salutations as a gentle way to gradually invite back the light.

Take the time to prepare for your practice and each posture, almost like the ritualistic way animals gather and prepare what they need for hibernation.

The Winter Solstice is believed to harness a powerful energy for renewal and self-reflection. We can perhaps see the solstice as the fourth and final movement in our 2025 life-symphony.

As the year gradually draws to a close, the enduring darkness offers a blank canvas for you to start a fresh in the new year.

In yoga philosophy the sun symbolises the soul. The word โ€œsolstice,โ€ in Latin, means "sun standing still", so in a sense, today, your soul stands still so you can reflect on the past year and notice what your inner light reveals. What would you prefer to leave behind? What do you intend to bring with you, or nurture and grow next year? โœจ

Like a seed, your intentions are planted into the darkness, their roots winding and weaving through, as if creating a roadmap of light through 2026 โœจ
