🌻 So very grateful to the beautiful ladies who joined me this morning, a wonderful group!
🌻 So very grateful to this practice and all it continues to show and teach me!
🌻 And so blessed that I get to share it in this gorgeous studio in the stunning location in the forest!

This is it folks, finding the moments, however fleeting….seeking them out, being open to them…grasping them with both hands and then letting them slip away again knowing you can’t hold them forever….you can replay them and reap many of their benefits again if you get the chance though!

For me, personally, yesterday was a bit much temperature and to-do list wise. However Tuesday night class, as it so often is, became the highlight! The studio was rather warm on arrival and the teacher was overheating too so we threw both doors open and left them that way for the whole class…and then we made, I think collectively but I might of been projecting my own needs, the decision to lie down for the whole hour! Now clearly the doors being open played a part but gosh did we all feel cooler after and I don’t think it was just physical temperature! More of that on the cards for 6pm tonight if you want to join me and maybe you can combine it with a walk in the stunning forest afterwards like I did last night….can’t credit the photographer of the picture of yours truly as he was an unlucky passer-by that made eye contact (my phone will be stolen one day but it’s so old and full of missed calls etc that they’d probably bring it back!) I just wanted to capture the moment of feeling cool and relaxed and content and even if you can’t take a physical photo today take it with your mind and look back at it before bed time tonight - maybe just a fleeting moment of joy, peace, happiness but a moment nonetheless.

Thank you to all my Tuesday nighters, you make my day and I’m so very grateful and to the two sneaky ninja like members, you know who you are, thank you - I smiled at the beauty and laughed again all over when I woke this morning.

I’m ever grateful for Tuesday nights. They never cease to make my face smile, my heart fill up with gratitude and my soul sigh with contentment. I don’t know why I get paid for this gig it’s truly my happy place and peaceful time! Thank you Tuesday nighters, from my heart to yours 💕

Want to be part of the magic?! Join us - it’s free for your first class so what do you have to lose?! 🧘🏼‍♀️

And the photo is of the lake just minutes down the path from the studio, so utilise these longer evenings whilst they last and tie it in with a dusk stroll….makes me pretty happy to, love our location 🌳

This week has been Mental Health Week and I have thought about making this post on and off for all of it!

Awareness is essential, normalising talking about struggling when we are and looking after our mental health in a sustainable manner is very much something I believe in. All 52 weeks of the year not just one but highlighting it is no bad thing.

I’ve faced struggles and I think perhaps always will. I’ve watched close family and friends struggle and I am aware of many in wider circles.

I don’t have all the answers, far from it! It’s a journey I am still very much on. For me Yoga has helped tremendously, not least for reminding me that it’s ok to be on a journey for a long time perhaps forever. Our studio in the forest remains my safe and happy place whichever side of the studio I sit on. Our community is like family to me. Yoga teaches you to be in the moment, to stare at the flower for as long as you want noticing, really noticing, every part of it and appreciating, really appreciating, its beauty - there’s definitely a large helping of my lovely, award winning, friend in that sentiment and teaching too. Grateful for her and all the wise and generous souls I have met and shared space with over the years.

This is in no way a sales pitch, indeed if you are reading it you might well already be part of that special community or have your own connection with Yoga. I only hope that you have a way, whatever works for you, of pausing - really smelling the roses, feeling the sun on your skin, tasting the tea, taking a deep and full breath and really letting it go on the exhale. I think the rush and pressure and never ending to-do lists need to be balanced with some slowing down for sure.

Remember you are never as alone as you may feel, you are always more than your thoughts and always enough just as you are - in fact so much more than enough just as you are, now not after this or when that NOW. Namaste, Em 🙏🏻

Last Saturday, I had the absolute pleasure of guiding five gorgeous souls for Grow - Our Spring Yoga Workshop…. Here’s what a couple of them said afterwards and then swipe left to see the gift we all took home, a little pack of seeds to sow with our intentions for nature’s new year! Also the view of the lake on my after class walk - how lucky we are that this is our studio’s setting and especially at this time of year with more and more daylight there will be more opportunities to combine a walk in this magical place with your yoga class! Spring flowers for good measure on both!
….
I’ll be back with an Easter special class on the 21st April, celebrating the longest day with a Solstice class on the 21st June and then we will carry on the journey through the seasons with Bloom the Summer Yoga workshop on the 19th July and Nourish the Autumn Yoga workshop on the 20th September and ….. no I can’t say that word yet I’ll be fired! All available to book through the link in our bio now for those of you who like to get organised!
