Centred Space Yoga & Thai Yoga Massage, Brighton (2026)

31/12/2025

As 2025 draws its way to closing, wishing you all a gentle transition, and hoping this will be the year we see an end to patriarchy, global g*noc*des, young people starving themselves in prison, transphobia, greed and inhumanity, billionaires and gross inequality, climate crisis…

So when it comes to resolutions, deciding to not eat cheese, exercise more, give up [fill in blank], etc, etc, really doesn’t need to be the punitive exercise that we are so often pushed towards on NYE.

Yes, let’s be intentional. Yes, real resoluteness will be needed to save planet and people from exponential threats, but… peace, happiness and freedom from suffering for all starts with compassion, self-acceptance and kindness to yourself so that you are grounded, centred and clear on how to move forwards for an inclusive improvement for all beings. Getting caught up in a loop of self-improvement, dissatisfaction and failure is just another distraction.

Come and practice together today 11-12 to be in community (pay what you can, book on their website) for a reflective, kind and expansive reconnection to the present moment so that you can move into 2026 with real intention.

May all beings know peace,
May all beings know happiness,
May all beings be free from suffering,

Welcome to one of my many cupboards of chaos - all those spaces that get all the stuff of life shoved in, the s**t getting deeper and less processed over time. Left alone, they become physically and emotionally overwhelming, you can’t open the door without everything vomiting out.

Our bodymind is similar - there’s so much we store, much of which doesn’t belong to us; maybe it was handed on, maybe it’s just wound up there out of habit, clinging on because we don’t know when or how to let go.

Autumn/winter is the perfect time for reassessing, reflecting and sorting. Refining what is really needed, simplifying and shedding. So that we can conserve energy for where it is really needed.

It might be messy and even uncomfortable, but getting it all out, sorting and passing on, repurposing or letting go of that unnecessary stuff can help us to feel lighter and more able to move forwards.

Retreat into Winter, November 30, 10-4pm at Barcombe Village Hall, is a day for metaphorically emptying your cupboards and making the pickles, jams and tinctures that will help to fortify you over the darker months.

We will explore meditative movement, yoganidra, reflective practices and self massage to support breath, digestion and immunity. We will also have an amazing seasonal, vegan feast from and divine chocolate treats from .

Tag a friend you’d like to come with and DM to book in now.

This is me and my marvellously talented co-author and long-term collaborator - we are actually celebrating handing in the manuscript of our next book, Embodied Menopause. The reality is today we are both too exhausted to bust any ‘look at how excited we are’ moves - both negotiating unwelcome late nights awaiting teenagers alongside much of the usual midlife melting pot of business with multiple life plates spinning. So here we are, two midlife women sitting on Brighton Beach taking a breath or two having written our manifesto for menopause - no champagne or other ‘fabulousness’, a coffee, chat by the sea and home for a quick nap.

But that’s really what the book is all about: a more earthed, present and balanced narrative around menopause than either the car crash-style panic and fear-mongering or the ‘be the best version of yourself EVER’ route of self help (with all the products that entails).

Embodied Menopause is an invitation to quieter listening, presence and honest response to shifting energy. With plenty of easily accessible, nourishing practices to allow you to taste and digest all the flavours in the hormonal soup.

More when we’ve both had a good rest!

DM or comment if you’d like to be on our mailing list for more info on the book.

Just a ‘hey, how you doing?’ as I’ve been quieter than usual here for a while. I’ve handed in the manuscript for Embodied Menopause - super exciting, and also a weird liminal space of waiting for her to be fully birthed into the world, while she works her way through the publishing machine.

I’ve also joined the Green Party, not just because of our new folk hero (although it is quite euphoric to have a politician fearlessly drawing all the right lines against fascism, g3nocide and ecocide). What’s been really inspiring is getting into rooms full of people making real, grass roots change in community. Pulled this card on Friday and it’s galvanised the call. Watch this space for more community fundraising and care.

Off to London today to see my super-talented girl who’s been single-handedly managing the wardrobe for Gothic opera . Because art offers so many alternative narratives to the mainstream that we can tap into for hope and inspiration.

As ever, holding the paradox of joy, contentment and love with overwhelming grief, rage and bafflement at the world.

How are you my friends?

Drop me a DM, join me in class, book a therapeutic massage or why not join me November 30 for Retreat into Winter Day Escape - movement meditation, self massage, yoganidra and self soothing nourishment all day, along with fabulous vegan lunch courtesy of - booking link in bio.

Love and solidarity in wild times,

Sometimes a mantra or meditation comes to you: this stay in Turkiye we have the most beautiful gardens - fig trees, bananas, hibiscus, sage… and so many I know by smell and texture now but not name. Dragonflies, blue-tailed lizards, giant orange hornets, huge bees that look like black leather-clad rockers, the cicadas who are like an orchestra tuning, and even the less-beloved mosquitoes. The swifts overhead, the horses and goats in the next field. ‘Noisy cat’ who comes and chats between hunts.

Om Namah Shivaya is a devotional mantra that recognises divinity and interbeing in and between everything. I’ve been chanting it internally in my meditation all week. Feeling this connectivity brimming and electric. Storing it up to pass on with love when I’m back in Brighton next week for classes and therapeutic treatments.

DM me if you need me - I have sunshine and heat, ease and peace in my hands to share.

And don’t forget, if you’d like to join me for a deeper dive into meditation, yoga and thai massage, I have day retreats in the UK coming up, as well as Turkey and Kerala trips next year.

Ready for tomorrow at 11 - straight after yoga 9.30-10.30am . In Buddhism, there is no fixed self, as over-identification or attachment to rigid concepts of ‘I am’ cause suffering - we miss what is present if we’re caught up in projections or judgements.

So if you fancy some easeful, joyful, meditative movement before the march, drop in. I am also happy to offer concessions or free places to anyone in the trans community struggling financially (just DM me).

Marching in solidarity with all my beloved trans and gender-non-conforming friends, and with huge pride for my remarkable trans daughter and my other three marvellous, q***r kids. I am literally bursting with pride, alongside the rage that we still have to protest for their rights.

Please come along, even if you or your kids are not trans, as their rights are intersectional with yours. And yoga is about freedom for all!

May all beings know peace
May all beings be safe
May all beings be free from suffering 🏳️‍⚧️

Sitting at my desk to write the next chapter of my next book on embodiment during menopause, reflecting on this last week, which seems to have been a weird one for so many people I know, a real coalescence of intensity. It feels that perhaps as the sun comes out, it’s an invitation to our nervous systems to let go a little more of what we’ve been holding on to over Winter. Because it’s been long and hard. Not just the weather, but the environmental, political and social landscape. The sun may bring warmth and some relief but there is still just so much to contend with in this over-constructed, hyper-individualised system that holds us all in (and down) in its patriarchal grip. There’s not something wrong with you if you don’t feel ‘better’ right now. It’s the culture we’re in that’s deeply problematic.

I’m not sure that many people are not feeling the suffering of so much playing out somehow in their emotional and physical being. It’s challenging to find the glimmers.

I’m saying this from the privileged perspective of ‘wellness’, my ‘work’ is magic, my family have predominantly manageable health, we are safe, housed and fed. But it is hard. I see virtually everyone I know suffering in so many ways, everyone I don’t know suffering. So many people who have power to relieve so much of this choosing not to.

So I’m sitting with this beautiful light with the darkness too. I think we all are. Holding the paradox of immense, bitter grief for the world alongside the joy of daffodils in my garden, the feeling of warmth on my skin and the gratitude for so much.

Soaking it up, breathing in, letting it out on the exhale. Again and again. Because yoga is not all about love and light, it is about holding everything with equal compassion. It is about meeting shadow with generosity and spaciousness, whether in movement patterns, in the deepest recesses of your soul, or in the world. It is about deep listening so that we can find the wisdom to think, speak and act with greater clarity and responsiveness rather than from the fog of reactivity.

Love, light and dark; I feel you.

What paradoxes do you hold?

This weekend’s workshop with the marvellous is all about embracing Paradox. Recently, wrote:
“The more paradox you can hold, the more you can free yourself from colonial capitalist indoctrination.
Colonial capitalist patriarchy feeds on hierarchy and binaries. Leaning into paradox is vital to our liberation.”

So I’ve been thinking a lot about the paradoxes I hold, especially on Spring Equinox, where there’s an inherent invitation to let go of old patterns and evolve new ways of being:

✨ I find social media inherently problematic but have found very real and deep connections and friendships on here.

✨ I really love people but am also an introvert and value quiet. (I think it’s great to be confident and joyful, but I wish more people used ‘inside voices’ in public 😂)

✨ We are a very q***r family but probably look like the Waltons from outside.

✨ I love clothes and aesthetics but hate the systems that perpetuate value based on specific ideals of acceptable beauty.

✨ I ‘do’ a lot (I write, teach yoga, offer massage and have a big family) but I also noodle into space and don’t always ‘achieve’ much at all. I judge myself for this while also knowing rest is freedom.

✨ I am proud and privileged to grow older and I feel more and more confident as I shed youth, but I lament the loss of my younger selves.

✨ I’m very peaceful by nature but I hold burning rage and wailing grief at the injustices of the world.

✨ I feel a deep connection to the natural world (not feeling separate from it) but really hate camping.

How do you exist with the paradoxes you hold? I’d love to hear some of your balanced imbalances…

There’s also just 1 space left for Embracing Paradox, this Sunday 10-4 at Barcombe Village Hall. It’s yours if you want it, DM me quick!
