Whilst I breathe, I hope

And with every sunset, I am grateful for another day.

Please note that classes are open to everyone aged 16 +
Every so often I get requests to teach yoga to children. Whilst I can and love teaching my own kids, my insurance does not cover me to teach other children. This is because I have not formally trained to do so. Please do look for a teacher with specific training in yoga for children 🙏

Make Space for ✨

We have one journey 🙏

Getting older is a privilege. We have the blessing of experiences bad and good, to choose how we want to move forward.

Viparita Karani

AKA Legs up the wall pose **

This is a gentle calming inversion that we practice in Restorative Meditation classes.
It can help to soothe the nervous system, lowering blood pressure and aid relaxation, along with providing support to our immune function.

Join me in guided rest to relax your mind and body in Restorative Meditation, on these dates for June/July.

Wed 9.30 am 25th June
Fri 9.30 am 4th July
Thurs 5.45 pm 17th July

ALSO, after our first Yin Stretch and Relax in May. I am happy to share that it is now to be a regular bi-monthly session. This provides an opportunity to slow down and explore static poses in longer holds. Which can help to release tension, and enhance passive and active flexibility.

The next class will be on:

Tues 6.30 pm 8th July

All class details are in my website link. Please add these dates to your calendar.

Every one is welcome!

** Please note that transitioning into and out of Legs up the wall pose, does require a good level of mobility. Come join our movement classes which train and help to maintain functional mobility.

March Moments ❤

Sunset from St Catherine's Hill.
Teaching my 5th event for wonderful NHS doctor's.
March birthday celebrations for my girl.
Beautiful spring blossom walks.
Did a two finger pull up for the first time.
My friend Andy, introducing my girl to ropes.
Getting technical, learning the ropes with my boy.
Always time for a coffee, or an oat milk chai latte ☕

Grateful for the here and now 🙏

For each step of this journey on earth
Through sorrow, through happiness
May we find a path that leads us always
To love and light ✨

Baby Grasshopper Pose

A little twisty playful pose to welcome Spring 🌱

Although Baby Grasshopper can be considered a beginner's introduction to arm balances.
It requires strength and flexibility in the hip flexors, hamstrings, core, arms and shoulders. Whilst challenging you to find and maintain balance.

The Grasshopper is a symbol of good luck, stability, freedom and fertility.
It invites you to be creative, to have courage in approaching challenges with a sense of playful curiosity.

Difficult Times

In difficult times, you move forward in small steps
Do what you have to do, but little by little
Don’t think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow
Wash the dishes
Remove the dust
Write a letter.
Make a soup
You see?
You are advancing step by step
Take a step and stop
Rest a little
Praise yourself
Take another step
Then another
You won’t notice, but your steps will grow more and more
And the time will come when you can think about the future without crying

(Credit unknown)

And you will emerge into the light stronger ❤
