Holding the fear, rage, despair and utter sadness today, whilst knowing that LOVE is still my answer. 💔

This week marked the end of an era. We held our final class for our Online Yoga Community.

This amazing community, created during the first lockdown, has been a thriving space for movement, breath, and connection for 4.5 years. What a journey we've all been on. And, as my journey continues onto a slightly different path, I feel so utterly grateful, my heart feels so full of all the love, joy, support, fun, and friendship we've experienced together.

I've dug out this old photo, the original photo I used to advertise the classes in March 2020, featuring my beautiful Gemma.

It was a privilege and joy to be a part of our Trauma Informed Immersion teaching team last month.

It was my first time delivering formal training to yoga teachers (usually, I tend to work with third sector staff), and I loved it thanks to Lorraine for her continued support and mentoring.

Sharing and learning from 18 other passionate teachers was very special.

Weekend spent supporting the inspiring and knowledgeable delivering day one of the Edinburgh Community Yoga Trauma Informed Training for Yoga Teachers

It was a pleasure to meet so many amazing folks passionate about social justice, health equity, and creating more inclusive, safer yoga spaces.

Followed with Sunday afternoon selfcare... late Summer walks through woodlands with friends, and an evening spent preserving nature's bounty.

I've been very, very quiet here on socials lately, but that's because real life's been pretty full.

Summer was spent settling into my new role at Lauriston Farm, where you'll find me running land based groups and courses, building community relationships, and loving being a part of such awesome workers co-operative.

I've had to say goodbye to a few regular yoga classes, but I've held on to a couple of socially prescribed groups, one corporate, and my weekly Granton community class.

Big love ❤️

Settling into life at Lauriston Farm this summer has been wonderful. This week we were baking bread from wheat grown on the farm, harvested just last month. Milled in Granton Community Gardeners and cooked in our outdoor oven.
