Surrender has been coming up for me a lot lately… and if I’m honest, it’s not something I’ve ever found easy.

I like to feel like I’ve got a plan. Like I know what’s happening. Like I’m in some kind of control.

But life doesn’t always fit neatly into a 'plan' with an instruction manual.

In yogic philosophy, there is a beautiful concept called 'Isvara Pranidhana' which is one of the 'Niyamas' or ethical codes in yoga. It is often translated as “surrender to a higher wisdom” and it’s about doing what we can, and then letting go of attachment to the outcome. Trusting in a higher power.

And right now, I’m being invited into that in a very real way.

I’m navigating something quite big health-wise, and there isn’t a neat, certain path in front of me. So I’m practising showing up, listening to my body, taking one step at a time… and then consciously loosening my hold on how it should all unfold.

Some days that feels grounding. Other days it’s uncomfortable and messy.

But what I keep noticing is this — the more I soften, the more things seem to gently fall into place.

The most amazing and special people orbiting into my life.
Conversations that land exactly when I need them.
Little moments that feel like reassurance.

Even last week… after a work concert, I was given the most beautiful handmade gift from two people who have somehow found their way into my life at just the right time. and thank u for being such a source of light in this world. This act of kindess and beauty literally stopped me in my tracks a bit. Just this quiet reminder that the world is a beautiful place...that our time here on Earth is filled with miracles, with amazing souls and that somehow it's all going to work out... that I’m supported in ways I don’t always see coming.

I think that’s what surrender is starting to feel like for me.

Not giving up.
Not bypassing fear.
But choosing, again and again, to trust alongside it.

I’m still learning. Still wobbling. Still very human in it all.

But maybe that’s the practice.

And grateful every day to walk this path with my husband and soul mate...you are the light in my life 💛

I usually shy away from writing these kinds of posts...but I wanted to share how a real yoga practice can support and carry us through real life.

The me in this photo 3 years ago didn’t know how much life was about to ask of me. I thought I'd gone through my big life transformation, my 'dark night of the soul ' ...and after 25 years of practicing yoga and becoming a qualified yoga teacher I really thought I knew what it meant to have a yoga practice.

But I had no idea how much life would test me...
The kind of challenges that shake you… that bring you to your knees…
that ask you to rebuild yourself again and again.

Maybe you know that feeling too.

This is where my practice changed forever.

I got on my mat not just to feel strong and focused...but to connect into the truest most authentic part of myself.

I got on my mat to feel everything and to surrender it to something greater than me.

I got on my mat to learn what it means to trust life.

Because when life feels overwhelming,
yoga offers a way back to yourself.

Back to your breath.
Back to your body.
Back to something steady underneath it all.

I will be perfectly honest...rght now, life is still asking a lot of me. More than I ever thought was possible.

It’s raw and uncertain and stretching me in ways I didn’t expect.

I'm facing fear, uncertainty and doubt every single morning. I'm not sure how the next 6 months of my life are going to look.

But what’s carrying me through is simple —
gratitude, surrender, trust.
And the quiet knowing that I don’t have to hold it all so tightly. I am part of something far greater than my small self...and I am being held and guided by this divine energy.

If you’re moving through your own hard season…

if you feel like you’re holding everything together…

this is your invitation to come as you are.

My heart is so full after this morning’s Mini Retreat 🤍✨

Our Root to Rise Yin + Nidra gathering felt truly special… such a beautiful space to land, soften and reconnect.

We began with gentle, grounding breathwork to soothe the nervous system and help us drop out of the busy mind and back into the body. From there, we flowed into a nourishing Yin practice focused on the Liver & Gallbladder meridians—inviting release, renewal and a sense of inner spaciousness.

With bodies softened and energy moving, we shifted into a heart-centred meditation and guided visualisation, meeting our future selves with curiosity and openness… which led us seamlessly into journalling—reflecting on where we are and where we feel called to go.

We closed with the most lush Yoga Nidra, allowing everything to integrate deeply, before sharing herbal teas, nourishing treats and connection 💛

As usual I was so in the moment that I barely took any photos and only remembered when half of our lovely group had left! 🙈

I absolutely love holding these monthly gatherings at the Bothy… and I already can’t wait for the next one (which weirdly is in 2 weeks time!).

Today marks the Spring Equinox — that beautiful moment of balance, where day and night are equal, and we stand right on the threshold of warmer days, lighter evenings and the arrival of Spring 🌿✨

Energetically, this time of year invites a gentle awakening. After the stillness and inward energy of winter, spring brings movement, growth, and fresh possibility.

You might feel a natural pull to stretch, to clear out the old, and to begin again.

In seasonal yoga, we honour this shift by moving from slower, grounding practices into more flowing, uplifting sequences. It’s a time to reconnect with your energy, your direction, and what’s beginning to bloom within you.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spring is associated with the Wood element — connected to the Liver and Gallbladder.

This energy supports vision, planning, and forward movement, but can also bring feelings of frustration if we feel stuck or out of alignment. Gentle movement, breathwork, and mindful practices can help create space, soften tension, and support that sense of flow.

This is your reminder that you don’t have to rush the season — growth can be slow, steady, and nourishing 🌱

If you’re feeling the pull to move, reset, and realign with the rhythms of nature, our seasonal yoga classes and mini retreats are a beautiful way to support yourself through this transition.

I can't wait for our next Mini Retreat 'Root to Rise' at the stunning in Longniddry. A slow Sunday morning of yoga, breathwork , journalling and rest.

And here's where you can practice with me this Spring:

A little reminder for you today 🤍

In yoga, there is a beautiful guiding principle called ahimsa — non-harm. It sounds simple in theory right? And yet in reality ahimsa is so much more than just being kind to others.

Ahimsa is also about how we treat ourselves.

It’s in the way we speak to ourselves when things feel hard.

It’s in the pause before we judge, compare, or criticise.

It’s in choosing softness over harshness, patience over pressure.

We live in a world that often encourages pushing, striving, and never quite feeling like we’re enough. But ahimsa gently invites us to move differently — with kindness, with awareness, with compassion.

What would change if you spoke to yourself the way you would to someone you love?

What would soften if you let go of needing to be perfect?

Non-harm can look like resting when you’re tired.

Like setting a boundary without guilt.

Like letting go of the need to keep up with anyone else’s pace.

It can be as simple as a kind thought.

You don’t need to do more to be worthy.
You don’t need to be different to be enough.

Today, see if you can meet yourself with a little more kindness than usual 🤍

You are enough. Just as you are ❤️

I’d love to know… what does ahimsa look like in your life right now?

With love ✨

I'm so excited to announce our next 'Root to Rise' event is now open for booking.

I absolutely love running these Mini Retreats and can't wait to hold space for you at our special Spring event.

Spring is the season of quiet beginnings — when the earth softens, the days stretch a little longer, and something inside us starts to stir too. 🌱

If you’ve been craving a moment to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself, I’d love to invite you to something really special…

🌱Root to Rise — a Spring Mini Retreat
📅Sunday 5th April
🕰10am–12pm
📍Fern Bothy in Longniddry

Join me for a nourishing morning designed to help you ground down, reconnect, and gently set intentions for the season ahead.

We’ll begin by rooting ourselves through grounding yoga and breathwork, allowing the body and mind to settle after the long winter months. From that place of steadiness, we’ll slowly rise — opening into a Qi Gong practice to balance the Liver and Gallbladder befire settling into stillness, and reflection with a guided meditation and journalling session.

Our morning winds down with a lush yoga nidra (guided relaxation) with Do Terra essential oils and lavender scented eye pillows for that extra touch of bliss.
Think soft light through the windows, the calm space of the bothy, deep breaths, slow movement, and space to simply be.

This is your invitation to step away from the busyness for a couple of hours and give yourself the gift of presence.

Time for you. Time to root and to rise with the energy of Spring.

Spaces are limited and this one is going to be beautifully intimate. If your heart is whispering yes, trust that feeling.
I can’t wait to share this special morning with you. 🌿

Ps spot the mistake on my poster!! Oops...wrong date!! Event is on 5th April not the 22nd March!

This time of year always feels so special, almost intimate...as Nature begins to slowly awaken from her deep Winter slumber.

We are beginning the transition from Winter to Spring, from deepest Yin to rising Yang. I always feel this is one of the most pivotal transformations for us to adjust to and it's always interesting to notice how we feel about this shift.

For example are you leaping into action and ready for the Spring...or are you feeling that deep need for more rest? Perhaps youve been burning the candle at both ends over Winter and not quite ready to embrace the rising energy of Spring...

I'm so excited to share these next few weeks of transitioning to Spring with you all in class.

Classes this week will focus on preparing the body for Spring and we'll be using a beautiful practice called the Body Clock Sequence.

The Body Clock in TCM & Seasonal Yoga
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body follows a 24-hour energetic cycle known as the organ clock. Each organ system has a two-hour window when its energy, or qi, is at its peak.

From a seasonal yoga perspective, this rhythm reminds us that the body is always moving through cycles — just like nature. Certain times of day support different qualities: cleansing, digesting, resting, dreaming, and restoring.

Practicing yoga, breathwork, or rest in harmony with these rhythms can help support the organs, regulate energy, and create a deeper sense of balance between the body and the natural world.

Feeling the call to live more in alignment with Nature’s rhythms?

Looking for a practice that supports both your physical and mental health but also the health of your organs and circadian rhythms?

My classes are a beautiful blend of Yoga, Qi Gong, Breathwork and Meditation designed specially to balance the organs of each season and bring harmony and alignment to your body and mind.

Classes are welcoming and inclusive spaces where all parts of you are welcome. Beginner friendly and relaxed.

Classes Thursdays
📍6pm Longniddry Parish Church
📍8pm Abbey Church North Berwick

Our Kidneys - The Battery of our Body ✨️

It might seem funny to hear Kidneys being discussed in a yoga class..but you'll hear me talking about them a LOT...and in Traditional Chinese Medicine they are a BIG deal ✨

In TCM, the Kidneys are your “battery pack.” They store your deepest energy – the fuel for growth, fertility, strong bones, clear thinking and steady willpower. In Winter, this energy naturally dips. Nature slows down… and we’re meant to as well.
But modern life doesn’t always make it easy for us to embrace this seasonal rhythm.❄️

When we push through Winter without rest, our Kidney energy can feel drained. That might show up as low energy, feeling chilly, stiff lower back, or just a sense of running on empty.

This is where seasonal yoga comes in.

While we are preparing soon for the transition towards Spring, we are still in Winter and classes are focusing on the Kidney and Bladder meridians, inviting warmth, strength and resilience from the inside out.

My classes over these next pivotal few weeks will focus on replenishing our Kidney energy, dropping into our deep wisdom and intuition....so that we can rise up to meet Spring with a sense of groundedness and vitality. Like a little seed reaching up from the soil towards the sun!

If you’d love to explore how seasonal yoga can support your overall vitality and health especially as we prepare for the transition from Winter to Spring, I’d love to welcome you to class. Here's where you can practice with me:

✨️Seasonal Yoga - Weekly Classes

🕰Thursdays 8pm – North Berwick

🪷Seasonal Yoga - Mini Retreat
