One for the teachers!

Adjustments Workshop
Sat 9th May
10am - 4pm


A full day workshop on the theory and practice of adjustments and hands-on assists for yoga teachers or teacher trainees.

Yoga adjustments are becoming a bit of lost art since the social distancing times of covid, when lots of teachers got out of the way of offering them, and many lost confidence.

A considered and confidently applied adjustment or assist can beautifully enhance a students experience in a yoga class.

This workshop will provide lots of practical experience of giving hands-on adjustments for a variety of common yoga postures, and give you the confidence to bring these skills into your classes.

I have know idea what this 2016 trend is all about, but it has given me a lovely nudge to reflect how things have changed for me (and the world) in the last 10 years.

In 2016, I had 3 young children (we thought our family was complete!), a part-time job as a physio in the NHS, a husband with a 'good' job but with lots of stress and unhappiness, a heart condition brought on by stress, exhaustion & grief, a mum with quite rapidly advancing dementia, a child with nightly severe night terrors.

And this was the year I did my Yoga Teacher Training.

In the midst of a very busy, chaotic time in my life, my yoga practice was my anchor and my life-belt 🛟⚓️. It kept me grounded in a time of uncertainty, and although I could have said for lots of reasons 'it's not the right time' - it felt like 💯 the most natural and obvious thing to do - to train as a yoga teacher to deepen my practice and my knowledge and to share it with others.

In my job at that time, I remember clearly doing one of those God-awful appraisal type things, where you had to come up with some goals or objectives or other such BS.

I remember my boss asking me where did I see myself in 5 years time. I clearly had no imagination as my answer was: 'Still working here, and hopefully teaching 1 or 2 yoga classes a week'.

I would never have believed that in 5 years from that moment, I would have an extra 2 children, have opened a yoga studio (at the start of a global pandemic), I would have become a reiki practitioner, Gordon would have left his career (I would have believed that actually 😂) and I would be supporting a family of 7 by teaching yoga.

I had no plans for any of this, but it has all been such natural and organic progression of following my passion and my heart - and now running my own YTT is the next natural extension💖

Really interestingly, these photos above, are the ONLY PHOTOS I could find of myself in 2016 - when I was just setting up my little yoga fb page.

I was not the centre of my own life and looking back, it really was like that - a life centred around looking after others - even to the detriment of my health ❤️‍🩹

What a beautiful journey it has been 💛🙏🤸‍♀️

Spending today getting last bits ready for YTT starting again on Monday 🌟

Picking up manuals, stocking up on herbal teas, putting finishing touches to the schedule for the week, firming up plans with all the fabulous contributing teachers, and booking a wee surprise for the trainees for the end of their first intensive week! 💝

I have sent out a wee video to new trainees, setting out nice clear boundaries for a safe, supportive space for us all to learn together and share in this beautiful journey 🥹

I have 7 wonderful trainees beginning this journey with me on Monday and I already know that this group is going to be pretty special 💖

Feeling my own version of the excitement and anticipation that such a course brings and can't wait to see what unfolds this year 🌱

Beyond grateful to be able to do what I do 💗💗💗

🌟Brand New Beginners Yoga Course starts THIS SUNDAY

🌟12.30pm
🌟£60 for the 5 week course

New to yoga?

Want to try yoga but don't feel comfortable to go along to an established class?

This beginners course has been running for the last few years and is designed *specifically* for people who feel a little intimidated by the idea of a yoga studio or even the whole idea of yoga.

The course is super friendly, relaxed, down to earth and build gradually week on week to get you comfortable with the basics of postures, breath control, mindful awareness and relaxation.

It is the perfect way to take your first steps in yoga, and with an experienced yoga teacher (also a physio - me! 👋) who will look after you well ☺️🩵

🧘🏽‍♀️ Please note that this beginners course is mat-based (the chair yoga class on Wednesdays is perfect for those who have difficulty getting up and down off the floor🪑)

If you have any questions about your suitability for the course, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Counting my blessings after an absolutely beautiful weekend yoga retreat - my very first one ever as a guest and not a host!! ✨🛖✨

Huge thanks to 2 truly wonderful teachers and for the teaching, the space, the learning, the insights, the poetry and the adjustments (also my first hands-on adjustments for YEARS!!!* 🤗🙏)

Beautiful location on the west coast at and with the sublime food and chats from my pal Shona 🤌😍

And such a gorgeous group of women who I loved chatting to over the meals and practicing with. And in the spare time between sessions I slunk myself off for some alone time in the woods and by the water with a sketch pad, and my own quiet company. A rare and precious commodity for me ☺️

After some strange, unexpected, mild anxiety and the unfamiliar feeling of leaving the family of something that wasn't 'work', I soon settled into myself, and loved every minute ❤️

✨✨✨

Feeling restored revitalised for my new term of classes starting tomorrow, and for the YTT starting next Monday! (And will look forward to seeing again as she comes to contribute to that with some of her beautiful yin, restorative yoga & chanting 😌🙏)

Starting back tomorrow with all my regular classes, Ashtanga, Beginners/Improvers, Yoga for Energy and Men's Yoga. is going to cover Chair Yoga this week 🪑🙏

Looking forward to seeing all my lovely regulars back and on the mat this week 🥰🙏✨💙

I have absolutely loved teaching the 'Just Yoga' classes this winter - I hope my students have loved them too. A little longer on the mat, some different kinds of practices, and an intuitive way of teaching, feeling and responding to the energy of the moment ✨

This is the last week of these classes 🥲. I even considered keeping them going in some way into the next term, but I think many of us like the familiarity and predictability of our regular classes. And all good things must come to an end (until next year!).

I am swanning off on a yoga retreat for myself for the second part of this week 🦢 so a couple of the classes will be left in some very capable hands 🙌

Remaining classes this week:

✨Tues 6pm - 7.15pm

✨Wed 9.15am (🌟please note the slightly earlier start time 🌟)

✨ Thurs 6pm - 7.15pm - covered by

✨ Sunday 10am - 11.15am - covered by

And then we return to regular class schedule from next Monday! (with a week break w/ 19.1.26 for YTT) 🧘🏾🤸‍♀️
