I've shared slides about the Yamas and Niyamas recently but what are the differences and what do they help us practice?

22/02/2026

The Niyamas are a set of personal observances that help promote awareness, growth and holistic health.

There are inner workings, self disciplined that if followed will teach us that everything starts from within us.

How do you practice the Niyamas?

What myths and legends do you believe in? Let me know below 😜

The Yamas are a series of guidelines that help teach us integrity rather than pushing for perfection. Whilst this isn't always simple or easy, it keeps us connected to who we are at our core and ensures we are keeping true to ourselves.

How do you take your practice off of the mat? What Yamas do you struggle with, let me know in the comments!

I often get asked what my practice looks like, what it is that I do when I'm not teaching. That I must be so calm all the time and zen every day. Let me be the first to tell you that is most definitely not the case.

My practice, like everyone else's, fluctuates between strong, challenging and powerful Asana practice to really work through frustrations and sometimes anger....to sitting as still as I can to meditate, often practicing Trataka (candle gazing) and intentionally focusing on the flame of a candle for anything up to 20 minutes when my body feels weak or achy.

The most challenging practices come when taking yoga off of the mat and into life. Remembering to reflect and look inwards at myself and my conduct and to hold myself accountable when I make mistakes. Remembering to be kind, truthful and respectful to others, regardless of their behaviours or the circumstances I find myself in. Remembering that I have a choice each morning to decide whether I'm going to look at things positively or be a grump about things I can't control. And doing my absolute best to remember to be grateful and content with myself and with my life.

Because in truth, practice is whatever you need it to be, whenever you need it to be. It doesn't have to be in a specific space, nor do you have to be wearing active wear. You can practice at any moment, of any day by taking a breath and giving yourself a moment to remember your practice, whatever it may look like.

So now I ask you, what does your practice look like?

Everything is energy, and everything is breath.

"When the breath wanders the mind is also unsteady; but when the breath is calmed, the mind too will be still."

Take a deep breath.

It doesn't matter where you are. Or what you're doing. There is always time to close your eyes and breathe.

There is always capacity to make time for yourself but we often forget this.

Things are overwhelming, the world is noisy and stressful. Give yourself a few moments of calm today, even if it's whilst you're scrolling through Instagram, just pop your phone down and take 10 breaths.

Exploring Desire through Mind & Movement.

A unique workshop combining meditation, intentional movement, journaling and group discussion to bridge the science of desire with the wisdom of the body.

It's a space to move, to feel, to express and to embrace all of who you are allowing yourself to leave feeling comfortable with your body, comfortable with your desires and comfortable in yourself.

No experience is needed, just come with a curiosity and a willingness to explore!

Hey YOU!!

Yes you!!!

If you're seeing this, it's your sign to stop for 30 seconds and take 3 deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth.

The weeks almost over, there's no need to stress. Use your breath to regulate your energy and calm things down a touch.

Let's finish the week strong and smiling! Let's do this!

We bend so that we don't break. When storms arrive if we don't bend the wind will snap us. If we embrace the severity of the storm with the serenity of the calm after it's cleared we will be able to find the balance and harmony between the two opposite forces.
