Some messages stop you in your tracks. This was one of them.

'I honestly cannot tell you how grateful I am to have found your class here. It has taken me a long time to find truly authentic yoga around this area and I feel very lucky the universe led me to you. I finally feel ready to commit to yoga again.'

This is why I show up.
This is why I teach.

Yoga is not about shapes or performance. It is about feeling safe in your body again. It is about being met exactly where you are, without pressure, without judgement, without rushing.

If you have been searching for a space that feels real, grounded, and human, you are not alone. And when you are ready, your body will let you know. The door is always open and the welcome ready to greet you.

To all my students, thank you for trusting me and for reminding me why this work matters so deeply.

It is amazing how many obstacles we can find to avoid doing something good for ourselves. Too hot, too cold, too wet. Back aches, tired, not in the mood. I have heard them all – and yes, they are really just excuses!

This week, a student messaged to say she couldn’t come to class because she had pulled a muscle in her side. I encouraged her to come anyway. She did. She moved gently, breathed deeply, and left feeling wonderful.

Yoga isn’t just for sunny days my , or when we feel 100%. It’s for every season, every stage, every 'body'. After 32 years of teaching without a break, I know the benefits far outweigh the effort.

No excuses. Just show up! As long as you can breathe, you can do yoga. Come and join us - your body and mind will thank you. 🙏

I have been teaching Yoga for over 30 years and have never strayed off the path. One thing I have observed in my students when they start, over the years is how the body gets ignored.

Getting to a yoga class is easy when your mind is happy and the motivation is there. However, it is so easy to slide downwards and listen to the monkey mind that fills the headspace with negative thoughts.

Coping with all the stresses of life impacts not just the mind but the body as well. All the aches and pains, that one learns to live with can be minimised or eliminated with Yoga.

The Joy of Yoga is that you get to rebalance the body, focus the mind on being present and improve your capacity to breathe. My mission is always that students leave feeling better than when they arrived.

Listen to your body. What is it telling you, and what are you doing to look after it? Get in touch if you would like to know if Yoga can help you. 🙏

🍂 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗻... 🍂

Autumn is my favourite season. And provides us with an important message. One I share with my yoga students.

As the golden hues of Autumn sweep across the landscape, we are gently reminded of nature's powerful wisdom. The trees, once full and vibrant, now begin to shed their leaves, letting go without resistance. This natural rhythm teaches us an important lesson: that change is not only inevitable but essential for growth.

Just as the trees release their leaves to make way for new growth in the Spring, we too must be willing to let go of what no longer serves us. It may be an old habit, a limiting belief, or even a familiar pattern of behaviour. It’s in the act of surrendering that we create space for renewal, for new possibilities to emerge.

Our lives are made up of seasons, each one guiding us to reflect, adapt, and transform. In this season of letting go, we are reminded that it’s okay to allow ourselves to feel whatever needs to be felt. We may experience moments of sadness, nostalgia, or even fear, but it’s in acknowledging these feelings that we open the doorway to healing.

Just like the crisp air fills our lungs, let us breathe deeply and embrace change. Let us trust the process and honour the wisdom that lies in surrendering. There is beauty in release and there is freedom in letting go. We are also reminded that as the leaves fall and die, we are reminded too that life is not forever. Look after your body and live your best life.

Yoga allows us to embrace the change.

May this Autumn be a gentle reminder to allow ourselves the space to heal, to grow, and to flourish in our own time. 🍁

With love and warmth,
Caroline Purvey
