A weekend spent exploring, recording, and playing, grateful for the beautiful space , never losing the feeling I get when stepping onto the beach.

An acknowledgement of how my focus and thinking have evolved from early photos.

Noticing sensations in the body, listening to where it wants and needs to expand and release, working with the breath to explore the movement, slowly setting up is the part I enjoy the most, the end results of 'the look' less important as my own practice continues to develop, a weekend spent 'doing' and 'being' ❤️

A yoga and wellness retreat coming in January....

✨️ January is a difficult month for many, often feeling a much longer month with limited daylight, January can manifest itself as feelings of low mood, tiredness and lack of energy.

✨️ Finding time for ourselves to recharge can be a challenge. Being kind to ourselves can often be lacking.

✨️ I'm therefore offering a space to realign, find focus and nourish the mind and the body in my winter wellbeing one day retreat. No previous yoga experience is necessary.

✨️ The day will seek to offer you the opportunity to give back to yourself, connect body, mind and soul to unlock optimum wellbeing. Embracing ourselves for who we are with a loving self kindness.

✨️ My work in the NHS as a yoga therapist working with people who have a mental health diagnosis has enabled me to develop my knowledge, skills and experience to be in this privileged position of sharing a day with you

✨️ A beautiful hot lunch is included in the price and gift cards can be purchased. All equipment is available but please feel welcome to bring your own if you so wish✨️

✨️ Early bird tickets up to the end of the year are £65
Full price tickets are £75
Payment on booking is required

✨️ To book or of you have additional questions please email contact@calmingtree.co.uk

A weekend of study, 5 hours pre course training completed now to 2 days of live learning. Level one of EFT (emotional freedom technique)

It's said that tapping helps you access your body's energy and send signals to the part of the brain that controls stress, stimulating the meridian points through EFT tapping can reduce the stress or negative emotion you feel from your issue, ultimately restoring balance to your disrupted energy.

Feeling grateful to have this opportunity with an established teaching provider and looking forward to incorporating the practice into my daily routine 🙏

Conscious of the significant amount of time I've been away from this platform! The last 12 months have been a different path to the one I imagined when setting up Calming Tree.

Starting off by landing a new working contract with the NHS has been and continues to be inspiring and so very rewarding!

Settling into my 2nd year of living by the coast has been a balancing act of emotions, as I miss the geographical closeness of family and friends whilst enjoying the new adventures in front of me.

Settling into my new job role has taken lots of time and energy. However, Calming Tree has never been far from my mind and I needed time to allow all the pieces to start to work together, it feels like that time is now here and I have some ideas to bring to fruition in the coming months, which I'm quite excited about.

I took the photo of the double rainbow a couple of weeks ago, and they signify symbols of hope and transformation. A reminder that you're on the right path. So this now feels like the right time to reconnect and bring Calming Tree forward for new paths to be created 😊 Thank you to those who have and continue to support me, it's so powerful and makes this all possible 🥰

Today marks the start of eating disorder awareness week ... EDAW (28th Feb- 6 March).
Eating disorders can present in many ways, in all genders and all ages but it is possible to recover with the right support. If you're worried about a child you care for / work with, a good place to start is . The campaign this year focusing on improved training in UK medical schools. A worthy cause and a subject we need to talk about more to break down some of the myths and ensure support is accessed for those that need it ❤

This week marks Children’s mental health week (7-13th February). The theme this year is 'Growing together'. Children and young people's mental health has never been more important, especially following the pandemic. Schools, youth groups, various organisations and individuals across the UK are taking part in a number of activities to raise awareness and support children. For more information contact your child's school or search 'children's mental health week 2022' via the Web for links to resources and support services.

Yoga and mindfulness have been shown to improve both physical and mental health in school-age children offering psychological benefits. A growing body of research has already shown that yoga can improve focus, memory self-esteem, academic performance, and can reduce anxiety and stress in children.
