Some days, my practices are loud.
Full of movement, heat and flow.

Other days are quieter.
Much, much quieter.

And Sundays? Sundays have to be one of my favourite days for the slowest of practices… legs up the wall 🤍

That’s it.
No effort. No achievement. Just rest.

For me, it’s the ultimate Sunday pose — a gentle way to settle the nervous system, soften the body, and prepare for the working week ahead.

Will you join me?

Settle in for 2–10 minutes (or longer if you fancy a deeper reset). Wrap yourself in a blanket, let the legs feel heavy and supported, and simply breathe.

✨ Some of the benefits of legs up the wall:
– Calms the nervous system
– Supports the body out of fight-or-flight
– Reduces stress and mental overwhelm
– Encourages rest, digestion and better sleep
– A simple way to feel grounded again

This is the pace I intend to bring to my updated online classes.
Thoughtful. Supportive. Rooted in real nervous system care.

Quiet practices matter just as much as the strong ones. Sometimes, doing less is exactly what we need 🫶

I’ve been teaching yoga for a long time now — both in studios and online — and one thing keeps coming up again and again is not having the discipline to practice from home.

When people struggle to practice at home, they usually think it’s a motivation problem.

Most of the time, it isn’t.

It’s overwhelm. Too many options. No clear rhythm. No sense of being guided or supported.

It’s sad to hear people struggle with practicing from home, therefore struggling to keep up with a regular practice. I started my entire journey of yoga with purely online classes. The few things I found helped 👇

Yoga works best when it feels like a place to return to — not another thing to keep up with.

This realisation has been quietly reshaping how I approach my online work, and over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing more about a slower, steadier way to practice with me online.

If you’ve ever felt like online yoga should work for you but somehow doesn’t — you’re not alone 🤍

A little snapshot of some of my favourite yin yoga asanas.

In these places, I have found my love for stillness, for rest, and surrender.

It hasn’t always been a practice I was fully comfortable with, but over time, I’ve been more and more drawn to the slower, “less exciting” practices, some may say. The ones where I find stillness, become completely vulnerable, yet feel incredibly safe in my own body.

I still teach more dynamic practice, because that was me, one day, a long time ago. Needing the movement to flow, needing the movement to help me release the day, needing the movement to help me let go.

But, over time, the movement became exhausting. It felt heavy and forced. It became hard to maintain a regular practice. I’d feel guilt when I didn’t show up and do a sweaty practice.

Then one thing became alarmingly clear to me, this was no longer my practice. Well, not my whole practice anyway. It’s became one small part of my yoga journey, and as with everything, I was craving the balance and started my journey with Yin Yoga. A place where the movement can be balanced with stillness. Where the heat can be countered with the cool. Where one breath asanas transitioned in to 5 minute holds.

It was here, everything began to slot in to place. I felt more connected again, to myself, my practice and the energy around me.

Maybe, if you’re feeling burnout or overwhelmed with your practice, yin yoga could be a place you find your practice again.

Our Full Moon in Cancer 🌕

This Full Moon is often a gentle monthly reminder to pause, reflect, and set intentions for the weeks ahead.
An invitation to slow down. To look up at the sky and let the moonlight kiss your skin — cold, still, and grounding. A physical reminder to stop rushing and simply be for a moment.

This Full Moon in Cancer falls just after the festive and New Year period — a time of the year that often moves at 110%, where the chaos rarely seems to settle.

And yet, here we are.
Just a couple of days into the New Year, with a perfect opportunity to soften. To slow down. To feel emotions as they rise, and gently release anything that no longer serves you — anxiety, stress, tension, or nervousness.

Let the emotions you’ve been holding onto come to the surface. Observe them without judgement. Get curious.
What is your body, mind, and soul truly craving right now?

When the Moon is in Cancer, the energy is especially supportive of the heart and emotional body. So today, you might choose to journal, meditate, practice slow and nourishing asana, or simply sit quietly and listen.

Listen to the body.
Observe the breath.
Notice what arises.

✨ What is your heart really craving?
✨ Where could you create more space and softness within?

Above all else today, trust your intuition.
You already know what your heart needs most ❤️

A reflection on the last year ✨

This past year has been heart-warming, eye-opening and full of growth. I’ve almost tripled the number of classes I’ve taught since 2024 and begun running workshops — something I’ve truly fallen in love with. With that growth has come reflection: what I want to move towards, and what no longer feels aligned.

You may have noticed that I’ve stopped taking photos during classes with clients present. This has been a very intentional choice. While it may not feel as “social-media worthy”, I’ve found that social media is no longer the place where I document my classes. Instead, it’s where I share my own experiences and personal practice.

Bringing a camera into a studio subtly but significantly changes the energy — often in ways that go against my ethos of yoga as a space to heal, be vulnerable and turn inward.

As a teacher, attention can shift from presence to capturing the “best bits” for social media. But the best parts of a class look different for everyone. Sometimes the most challenging or transformative moments happen in stillness or meditation — moments that can’t be captured in a photo. When sequences are shaped around what looks good on camera, the heart of the class can be lost.

For clients, the presence of a camera can turn practice into performance. Breath can be forgotten, bodies pushed deeper than they’re ready for, and yoga becomes something to be seen rather than felt. Yoga is not a performance. It is far more than asana — it’s a practice rooted in the Yoga Sutras and how we live day to day.

There’s also a sacred trust between teacher and student. During practice, people may be experiencing emotional shifts or working through personal things. If awareness drifts away from the room, presence is lost. And if someone later sees themselves on social media without clear consent, it may stop them from returning.

There are still beautiful ways to share the magic: client reviews, recreated flows, consent-led shoots, and sharing your own journey and practice.

I’d love to hear your thoughts 🤍
Do photos affect your experience in class?

Hello! I am back, and feeling full of food, full of love and ready to continue this pattern of resting up and soaking up all this valuable time with loved ones! ❤️ I hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas and made more special memories.

As we come in to the New Year, here’s some late evening pondering and journaling I’ve been processing over these last few days. My promise to myself this year - rest when I need to, move and work when I feel ready to.

I really hope you all have a lovely new year, and here’s some little practices you may take on to allow yourself that time to rest and reset while we stay in these dark, winter months.

🙏🏼✨

To be still… something I always struggled with. It was always something I thought would never come naturally to me. But as part of my healing journey I’ve started incorporating more into my life to help restore a balance when, sometimes, things all get a little too much.

I don’t really do new year resolutions. I feel they are unrealistic and put too much pressure on a person. But if there was something I’d love to bring more of for my future self, it’s stillness.

Here’s a little 1:30 snapshot of my practice yesterday, which was 20 minutes on my acupressure mat and 80 minutes of yin yoga. After this I felt so incredibly grounded and deeply connected to myself and my intentions again.

On that note, I’ll be taking a little social media detox over the festive period so I can be more present with my little family and cherish every moment. This will involve deleting all my social media apps, still practicing yoga but not recording it, and coming back when I naturally feel ready. But it will likely be some time after Boxing Day.

I’m always curious what other people do to hit that factory reset button, so please feel free to share your practices. I’ll still be here until tonight 🥰

A beautiful way to end an incredible year of teaching, practicing and learning ✨

Last class of the year was one that felt very fitting to close it all off - yin yoga. Coming to a place of stillness, opening and surrendering to make space and reflect on everything happening in our minds, bodies and soul.

It honestly warms my heart every time someone shows to my practices. Even if it’s only one person or a full class. I turn up to be there and create a safe space where you can show up for yourself and simply practice. Nothing will change in the next year. And my first class in will be a class on Monday 3rd January. I hope I’ll see you there ❤️🙏🏼

Have a wonderful Christmas and happy new year 🙏🏼✨

I’ll see you in 2026.

It’s been lovely to get back to teaching after a little stint of losing my voice! 👀 But finally on a course of antibiotics and resting up when I can with my good ol’ trusty lemon and ginger tea and honey.

The voice is back… kind of! And loved teaching a blissful one to one yesterday (snapped in the pic!) and back to crowwoodleisure this morning for my last class of the year! It’s an absolute honour teaching you all what I absolutely love about yoga, and can’t wait to come back in the new year.

In the mean time, my last EVER class for the years is on Monday in pendlewellbeinghub where we’ll have a complete relaxation, tension release with my class - 7:15-8:15pm in our Higherford Mill Studio.

That will be my 2025 all wrapped up, and I can’t wait to bring in the new year with some new classes and new workshops!

… but made accessible!

In my many years of teaching, this is often an asana a lot of people struggle with for various reasons! The two main culprits are often the knees or the hips.

Did you know there are so many ways you can support yourself and still get all the support in this pose? Often all you need is some blocks, a bolster or even a short stool would help! Whatever you’ve got lying around at home, you’d be surprised how good it can feel!

And sometimes, all you need is a wall. Watch to the end to see my personal favourite way to stay in malasana for an extended period.

Getting ready to wind down the teaching with 2 more weeks of classes and my last workshop of the year last Friday.

So here’s a little “save the date” for the new year ❤️

Get a head start on the new year intention setting, reflections and healing as I guide you through a truly settling Yin Yoga class, an intention setting tea/cacao ceremony, finished off with a truly restful yoga nidra (yogic sleep)!

What better way to start the new year and overcome those January blues.

Booking all via on their website.

Spaces are limited, so save the disappointment and book early if you can 🙏🏼✨
