Mental Health Awareness Month

This May, we’re honouring the quiet, powerful truth that caring for your mental health doesn’t always look like grand gestures — sometimes it’s the smallest actions that shift the whole day. A single breath. A moment of stillness. A soft pause before you move on.

To support you through the month, I’ve created 31 daily yoga practices — gentle, real‑life‑friendly actions designed to steady your breath, soften your body, and bring you back to yourself. One small step each day. Nothing overwhelming. Nothing performative. Just simple practices that meet you where you are.

Whether you join for all 31 days or dip in when you need a moment of ease, I hope these practices help you feel a little more grounded, a little more spacious, and a little more you. Each practice will be shared in Stories and saved into a Highlight so you can return to them whenever you need.

Here’s to small steps, soft moments, and choosing your wellbeing one breath at a time.

For backs that bend, carry, reach, and respond.

No pushing. Just unwinding what’s been working hard.

Regulation doesn’t always happen on the mat.

Sometimes it happens here — in the quiet, in the pace, in the breath. 🌿

Sama Vṛtti means equal breath.

Inhale and exhale the same length.
No forcing. No holding. Just an even rhythm.

This kind of breathing gives the nervous system something steady and predictable — a quiet signal that nothing urgent is happening.

Often the effect is subtle.
Not dramatic calm, just a little more balance.
A little less rush.
That still counts. 🌿

This is what regulation often looks like. Quiet, not dramatic.

As March comes to a close, we’ve moved through the Spring Equinox — that brief moment of balance between light and dark — and almost immediately, the clocks have shifted forward.

Even a small change like losing an hour can be felt deeply in the body. Sleep, digestion, energy, and mood don’t adjust instantly — and that’s not a personal failing, it’s physiology.

In yogic terms, this time of year asks us to strengthen Apana Vayu — the downward, grounding current that supports digestion, elimination, rest, and steadiness. Especially after winter, and especially when our rhythms are disrupted, Apana helps us feel held.

For me, March has been about:

🌿slowing down rather than pushing ahead
🌿supporting digestion and rest
🌿letting energy settle down before asking it to rise

If you’ve felt foggy, heavier, or a little out of sync since the clocks changed, you’re not alone. The body often needs time to re‑root before it can respond to the increase in light.

Right at the edge of March, I can feel the ground beneath me a little more stable again. And from that steadiness, something is beginning to stir.

On Sunday, we gathered in the sunshine‑soaked yurt at The Yoga Garden at Knepp. Surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature and the white storks nesting and circling overhead. It felt like the perfect place to honour the turning of the season.

Some people were completely new to my yoga, arriving with openness and curiosity. Others returned with familiar warmth, helping to create a circle that felt supportive, friendly, and full of ease. People honoured their bodies, choosing the options the suited them on the day- a skill that many need to learn.

We shared delicious homemade food, painted pottery with the beautiful guidance of local artist , and closed with yin and yoga Nidra. An introspective end to the day.

Clients described the day as:

✨ immersive
✨ peaceful
✨ courageous
✨ new
✨ calm
✨ harmonious

And as I reflect on the day, it was a day of light, laughter, connection, and gentle awakening. I’m so grateful to everyone who joined and brought their presence, curiosity, and heart to the day.

🌿A few reflections from past participants — words that always touch me.

✨Today I’m honouring the women who hold us. ✨

The women who steady us when life feels unbalanced.
The women who soften the edges of our days.
The women who listen, guide, nurture and remind us of our own strength.

Not just mothers.
But mother‑figures.
Sisters, friends, mentors, aunties, chosen family.
The women who show up with warmth, wisdom and quiet care.

This season is a gentle invitation to honour them —
and to honour the parts of ourselves they’ve helped us grow.

✨Here’s to the women who hold so much, often without ever asking for anything in return.✨
