Em yoga

27/01/2026

Moving through January, I've been reminded how much my yoga and mindfulness practice gives me far beyond the mat. There will always be moments that challenge us, create doubt in our minds and shake our sense of certainty, yet every time I return to a pose, to my breath, towards stillness, I feel something quietly rebuilding - a sense of steadiness, trust and patience.

As we move through 2026, I'm feeling more and more that it's these small, consistent moments that become the foundations we walk through life with.
Not perfect. Not rigid. Just steady, supportive, and there when we need them.

Strong foundations aren't built in a day - they are both built and tested in moments like these.

This is the spirit behind Find Your Foundations and Build Your Brilliance this year - both created through my own experience of cultivating strength, awareness and steadiness through yoga, mindfulness and breathwork. They're here not only to help us build our foundations, but to return to them with ease whenever life asks us to.

I would love to see you there.

Feeling festive?
Feeling worn out?
Feeling all things merry and bright?
Or feeling all the above and more?

Join me on Friday for an hour to settle down, ease overwhelm or simply to treat yourself to an hour of yin, nidra and peace and quiet.

Then when rested, when we are out on the other side and into the vastness of the new year come back for Align Your Year ~ a mindful session to create a sense of direction and possibility without the pressure of doing too much.

There is so much to that simple lighting of a candle. Having a candle at home, perhaps when practicing yoga, has many benefits and especially with these gorgeous ones as part of the Em Yoga range.

What these scented candles so popular? They are relaxing due to the soft, flickering light which lowers stress hormones, triggers melatonin for sleep, and creates a calm, meditative state by reducing brain activity.

AND they are infused with essential oils to relax mind and body. The good news is that there are three types in stock - Radiance, Lunar and Meditation and all smell amazing!

A perfect gift for yourself (or a loved one of course!). £15 each plus postage. Pop me a message to order yours!

There’s something deeply soothing about lighting a candle – it is a ritual that invites us to slow down, soften, and arrive in the moment. The gentle flame, the beautiful scent, and the intention behind it all helps to shift the nervous system into a state of rest. When we light a candle with pure essential oils, it becomes more than fragrance, it becomes a practice of self-care.

All of my candles are handmade in North Yorkshire with ethically sourced soy wax, blended only with pure essential oils. Each one contains a tiny crystal bead chosen to support the intention of the blend.

Whether you are exploring the beauty of Scotland, soaking up the view of the mountains in Morocco, dancing with fireflies in Italy or soaking up the sun by a blissful pool in France I have got you covered 💚

One of my values and intentions with my retreats, in the uk or abroad, is connection with nature ~ I find that this, along with deeply restful yoga classes, morning meditation, delicious food and great company create the most brilliant effect on the mind, body and soul.

Which retreat will you join me at?

Contemplation. Quiet time. Journalling. Walking. Resting. Meditation. Mindfulness. Many ways to connect back to the Self 🧡

I love the sound of pen to paper. The gentle sound of bird song. The swish of trees in the breeze. Sunlight. Stillness.

It’s finding these then learning how we can come back to our Self even in the loudest, darkest times - when the birdsong and light may not be there.

Ultimately it’s the focus on the breath. Our most constant companion. The brilliance of our yoga asana practice helps us find this breath!

Where will you find your breath and practice this week? I hope you can join me at class in person, virtually or by booking a future event 🧡
