Why commit to a full 12 weeks of yoga?

It provides the right amount of time to see tangible progress in your flexibility, focus, and overall well-being.

Neuroscience supports this timeframe:

The brain needs consistent reinforcement to rewire patterns.

Repeated action over 12 weeks strengthens this identity loop:

Cue → Routine → Reward → Identity reinforcement

Studies show it takes 66 days on average to form a solid habit.

12 weeks = ~84 days, giving ample time to reinforce, repeat, and internalise the behaviour.

After ~8–12 weeks of regular practice, neural pathways (especially around movement, mindfulness, and regulation) become more stable.

A 12-week yoga block is not only realistic — it’s ideal for moving from external motivation to internal identity. With consistency, you’re not just doing yoga — you’re becoming a person who lives it.

Ready to transform your next 12 weeks? Our next block starts the week of the 29th of September. Get booking!

✨My Superpower is My Sobriety✨

September is Recovery Awareness Month, I’m choosing to share my story to help remove the stigma. In a few weeks, I celebrate 24 years of sobriety.

I am a big believer in the 12-step model. It is the foundation of my sobriety and a daily practice that, after over two decades, is just part of how I think. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. I continue to practice the steps, continue to be humbled, and continue to learn more about myself. I make mistakes and have learned how to amend them. At 53 I am still learning and growing.

My recovery toolkit also includes yoga and meditation (beautifully aligning with Step 11), but they are supporting players to my core foundation. This journey has given me my greatest superpower: stability and the ability to be of service, and live a full life. I weave these tools into my teaching as a gift to my students.

If you are struggling, please hear me: A new way of life is there waiting for you. It is possible to live fully and happily. Please seek help. You won’t regret it.

Your Vinyasa flow’s best kept secret? It’s called Ashtanga.

Ever heard that Ashtanga yoga is “so hard”?
🥵

What if we told you that you’re already doing it?
That’s right! Your Vinyasa flow is born from the Ashtanga tradition. It’s all about linking breath to movement (that’s your Vinyasa!).

Think of it less as a new style and more of unlocking the core essentials you already practice!
I teach Ashtanga with a mindful, modern approach—it’s disciplined but never rigid. It’s the perfect next step to deepen your Vinyasa foundation.

Your personal practice is about to level up. You’ve got the flow, now let’s add the foundation.

Why a 12-week term?

…..It’s the sweet spot! 💫

A 12-week journey is designed to gently but powerfully build your strength, flexibility, and most importantly, a habit that LASTS.🏆

Habits become traits when the behaviour aligns with identity — e.g., “I am someone who practices yoga,” not just “I do yoga.”

Satya is more than just “not lying.” It’s the profound practice of Truthfulness. 🕊️

They say that when you commit to Satya 100%, your words align so completely with reality that they carry the power of manifestation. This isn’t magic—it’s integrity. It’s the safety and comfort you feel in the presence of someone who is radically honest, because you know their word is their bond.

Ahimsa (Non-Violence) | The Radical Power of Kindness

To embrace ALL with compassion in every moment—this is the essence of true practice. Live this fully, and nothing more is needed. When kindness guides our words, thoughts, and actions, even the ordinary becomes sacred.

Yet kindness shouldn’t feel radical. In a world that often defaults to judgment, division, or indifference, it does. So pause and ask: Are my words and thoughts truly kind? Can I soften—release condemnation, loosen judgment, let go of hostility?

Here’s a practice so simple it’s revolutionary: Meet strangers with a smile. Offer a “HELLO”… or a genuine compliment. These small acts are like stones dropped into water—ripples you may never see, but they travel far. Someone’s heaviness may lift because of you. A lonely heart may feel seen.

This comes naturally to me as a West Coaster from the states and having a dad that was a hippie 😊—greeting strangers, sharing warmth—it’s effortless kindness that reminds me we’re all connected. In more reserved cultures, it might feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable at first. That’s what makes it so special! Give it a chance - your heart will thank you.

Go on… The world is waiting. 💛
