Happy Healthy Life

The reason that I teach ways to focus and be present is because I struggle with it so much myself 🤯

Even recording videos like this, I have to edit out the silences (thank goodness that is possible now) because otherwise half the time I am staring into space, getting sidetracked 🙃

Focusing isn’t natural for me.
Being present isn’t automatic.

And when I’m stressed, it becomes even harder.

And that’s exactly why yoga has been such a lifeline.

Because what Yoga has taught me is that when my mind is everywhere, my body helps to bring me back.

Yoga doesn’t ask me to concentrate harder, it gives me anchors:

⚓️the breath,
⚓️the body,
⚓️the senses,
⚓️the ground beneath me.

Presence doesn’t always mean calm.
It means connection with what is here and now.

And that’s a skill we can practice.

Save this if you struggle with focus and being present and need this reminder 🚀

If you have ever quietly wondered “am I good enough to teach yoga?” then I have something for you…

💫I’ve created a free reflection guide for anyone curious but unsure.

It’s not a checklist. It’s not about flexibility, confidence or having it all figured out.

It’s a gentle, body-based inquiry to help you listen more closely to what YOU need right now.

No pressure, just space to reflect.

Comment GUIDE below and I will send it over ❤️

I hope that you are enjoying your Festive break. I always love this time of year for looking forward and making plans 🎄💫🌈

Is 2026 the year that you take a leap and do something for YOU?

If yoga already plays an important role in your life but you’re feeling uncertain about what’s next, I have something for you - a FREE 1:1 vision planning session for 2026

Whether you’re:

💫 thinking about becoming a yoga teacher

💫 already teaching but feeling unclear, stuck, or stretched thin

💫 craving more balance, purpose, or sustainability in your work

💫 sensing a shift but struggling to put it into words

This free session offers space to pause, reflect, and find direction.

This session is especially supportive if…

You’re thinking about becoming a yoga teacher but don’t feel “ready” or confident yet

If you are already a yoga teacher but feel stuck, scattered, or unsure about direction, feeling burnt out or underpaid.

You don’t need clear answers before you come.
Clarity often emerges during the conversation.

I come to this work with a background in yoga, somatic practice, and trauma-informed coaching.

That means our session isn’t about pushing for answers or forcing decisions. We move slowly, listen to the body as well as the mind, and let clarity emerge in a way that feels safe and supportive.

Comment VISION below and I will send you more details 💌

Wishing you a year filled with purpose and passion 🎇❤️

Yoga has never been about mastering poses.

It’s about finding a sense of stillness in the mind.

Moving with awareness and kindness.

When we let go of perfection and follow what feels good for our bodies, the practice becomes resourceful rather than depleting.

If you’d like to experience yoga without pressure, pain, or push…

I’m running a FREE Calming + Grounding class next Wednesday at 7.30pm

When life feels like too much, you don’t need to do more.

You need a moment to stop.

To breathe.

To come back to yourself.

And this is what inspired me to create the Happy Healthy Yoga Membership -

It offers gentle structure, accountability and community support to help you:

✔ Feel more energised

✔ Build strength safely

✔ Move more easily and freely

✔ Reduce stress + feel calmer

✔ Sleep better

✔ Establish a routine that actually works for real life

But rather than tell you all that…I’d much rather you experience it.

It’s a gentle, accessible class designed to help you feel relaxed, centred and supported💓

Flexibility is not a requirement.

So much of yoga is about awareness, balance, and energy flow and Traditional Chinese Medicine can offer a beautiful, complementary lens to our Yoga practice.

That’s why our training includes:

🌿 Qi Gong- to explore gentle, embodied movements that calm and balances the nervous system.
🌿 Meridians- to understand energetic pathways in the body from another perspective, and how they connect with health, mood, and vitality.
🌿 Yin Yoga- to support deep rest, release, and parasympathetic activation

This is all taught alongside our focus on accessible, inclusive, and trauma-sensitive Yoga, so you learn how to guide practices that honour the wholeness of body, mind, and spirit 🫶

We want to give you tools to see the body (and your teaching) through a rich and integrative lens. ✨

If this calls to you, drop me a DM and I will send the details for the next round of training 💌

Before I trained to teach yoga, I was on the verge of burnout🔥

I had no idea how to take time for myself. The thought alone felt terrifying. So I kept busy—trying to be the perfect mum while working like I didn’t have kids. I was exhausted.

Bone-tired. Falling asleep as soon as I sat down—but waking at 3am with a racing mind.

I wasn’t looking after myself. Deep down, I didn’t think I deserved it.

Something had to change.

I’d been going to a slow-paced yoga class at my local gym. It felt awkward at first—but something about it helped. And then came a lightbulb moment: slowing down was the whole point💡

After years of practice, I finally got what yoga was really about.
And I wanted to share it.

So I signed up for yoga teacher training—even though I couldn’t really afford it and didn’t think I was “sporty” or “bendy” enough.

But I did it.
And I taught my first class.
And then… reality hit.

My training hadn’t prepared me for real students with real bodies.
I was faced with my first student who couldn’t get up and down from the floor, and I froze.

I promised myself that wouldn’t happen again.

So I started again—this time with the intention of making my classes as inclusive as possible.
Less about perfect poses.
More about people feeling safe, grounded, and seen.

Now I teach yoga rooted in:
✨ Embodiment
🧠 Yoga philosophy
💛 Breath, meditation + functional movement

It helps my students—and it helps me.
I feel more present, more grounded, more me.

If you want to teach yoga with compassion and authenticity…

📩 DM me YOGA and I’ll send you all the details for the next training.

This is for the seekers, the over-givers, the quietly brave.

You don’t need to be bendy.
You just need to care.
Because the world needs yoga teachers who teach from the heart. 💛
