💜 There’s something truly special about holding space... Not just guiding movement or breath, but creating a safe, peaceful container where people can show up exactly as they are.

💙 Whether it’s someone’s first time on the mat or their thousandth, my intention is always the same: to offer calm, to offer care, and to hold space with presence and love.

🩵 This studio isn’t just a place to practice yoga; it’s a place to exhale, to soften, to reconnect, to rebuild resilience. And every time I see someone settle into stillness, find their breath, or simply feel safe… I’m reminded of why I do this.

💚 It’s an honor to guide... It’s a joy to hold space.

💛 And it fills my heart more than I can say.

🧡 You are always very WELCOME here.

❤️ With love & care!

Ashleigh Smith is one of the local mothers and business owners with whom I had the pleasure of connecting a few years ago. She has numerous ideas, parent-related projects, and a noble cause that she is passionate about advocating for, and I am delighted to support such a noble cause about food allergies. Thanks to her for bringing this significant matter to our attention and inspiring us to take action. Please visit her Justgiving page and help Ashleigh to fundraise £3500 to have a Kitt Medical anaphylaxis kit installed at her son's school, Shorne C of E School. Every little contribution matters. Let's show our solidarity with her as a community! Link is below.

‼️Please put your great deal of effort into teaching your children how to REST and RELAX from a young age, rather than how to turn them into a "perfect (?!)" person - or even a "good (?!)" girl/boy.‼️ ... and join them along the way! ❤️

🎈Forget about the timetable or the ABC - they'll learn that in school. I never saw any kid or adult who went school and doesn't know the timetable or the ABC. They have all the capacity to learn fast and steady as long as they enjoy what they do.

🎈Please stop teaching them manners in EVERY SINGLE occasion - Rather focus on yourself. Trust that you give a great foundation to them when you become an example. They'll naturally pick up on what you do and what they see in the family. Manners come when internalised naturally NOT with hundreds of "Learn Your Lesson" moments forced in every single occasion.

🎈Don't push them to compete for "success" - life's tough enough as it is in these days (and probably will not be any easier in near future). They can ONLY feel motivated and learn to set their goals and achieve them when they feel RELAXED.

🎈And forget about the "hard work wins" motto - it's actually counterproductive. When they know how to relax, they'll be more productive. Science says so!

🎈Multitasking is a killer. It stresses them out and leads to burnout. Our brains and bodies don't like multitasking. Mindfulness is the way to go - it boosts their thinking skills and helps them relax.

🌟 Relaxation should be a habit, and the body's natural response to rest & digest can be well-known only when practiced often and with sincerity. Otherwise, when people need it most, like during exams, in further education, or in adulthood when life gets more complex, their bodies and minds might resist relaxation at first. It can take months or even years for some people to learn how to relax, and they might give up along the way before mastering this skill. This can lead to mental health issues, depression, trauma responses, and a lack of resilience in social situations.

☎️ If you are interested in learning more about becoming a mindful parent or caregiver, get in touch. I would be happy to work with you all.

“No Man Is An Island” by John Donne

🪷

No man is an island,

Entire of itself,

Every man is a piece of the continent,

A part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe is the less.

As well as if a promontory were.

As well as if a manor of thy friend’s

Or of thine own were:

Any man’s death diminishes me,

Because I am involved in mankind,

And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;

It tolls for thee.

🪷

Happy Saturday everyone! 😘
