As we begin our first full week of classes in 2026, our weekly sessions return as a familiar, steady rhythm — a gentle place to land, move, and breathe your way back into the body after the festive swirl. There’s also a nourishing evolution to share 🥰: our fortnightly somatic classes are becoming a once-a-month offering called ✨ Somatic Sanctuary ✨. This 90-minute space allows us to slow right down and fully arrive, giving time for a complete full-body somatic release that supports deep health, healing, and nervous system regulation. A slower pace, deeper listening, and a true sanctuary to start the year.
Join me this week:
🌸 Monday
10–11am | Hatha Yoga // Gomersal Public Hall
🌙 Tuesday
7–8:15pm | Gentle Hatha Yoga // Birstall Community Centre

As we tiptoe into a Happy New Year, the PRANADI way — no sudden lunges, no forced resolutions, and definitely no “new year, new you” nonsense.
Ayurveda gently reminds us that nature doesn’t rush… and neither should we. A new cycle isn’t about reinventing yourself by Monday - it’s about clearing a little space, warming what’s cold, grounding what’s scattered, and remembering that rest is not a luxury, it’s part of the practice.
This year, may we:
• stretch without striving
• rest without explaining ourselves
• listen to our bodies before our to-do lists
• and remember that balance is something we return to — not something we achieve once and tick off ✔️
Yoga teaches us that wobbling is part of the pose. Life agrees.
✨ Ayurvedic reflection for the year ahead:
“Live in rhythm with nature — she is patient, forgiving, and never expects you to get it right the first time.”
Wishing our lovely PRANADI community a year of steadiness, warmth, nourishment… and the wisdom to lie down when needed. 🌿💛
See you in 2026 my beautiful friends. 🙏

✨ Thank You for a Beautiful End to 2025 ✨
Such a joyful way to close the year. 💛 Thank you to everyone who came along this morning to the final class of 2025, and heartfelt thanks to everyone who has stepped onto the mat at any point this year, or trusted me with their care through massage. Your presence, energy, and commitment mean more than I can say. 🙏
This morning we flowed through our festive “12 Days of Christmas” yoga sequence — full of movement, balance, a few wobbles, and lots of laughter. I’ve attached the graphic if you’d like to have a go at the sequence at home — my advice is to approach it with playfulness, curiosity, and a sense of humour. 🎶🧘♀️
Everyone went home with a little goody bag of love, including:
🐘 an elephant (Ganesha-inspired) tissue holder to help remove obstacles and guide us into the new year with positivity (and catch the snot 😂)
🌿 a lovingly nurtured Purple Passion plant (please keep talking to it!)
🍊 a traditional orange, carried on from my mum’s Christmas stocking ritual
✨ plus a few other festive treats to nourish body and soul
As we step into 2026, I’m also happy to share that massage appointments are available from 2nd January, and for the first time ever, I’ll also be offering massages on a Sunday – 4th January. 🙌
Thank you for being part of this community — for your trust, your laughter, and your willingness to show up just as you are. I’m so grateful to walk this path with you my beautiful friends.
Wishing you a peaceful, joyful end to the year and a beautifully supported start to the next. ✨💜
I still have appointments available on:
🗓️ Thursday 18th (evening now available due to yoga class cancellation)
🗓️ Friday 19th

Don’t miss your chance to relax, restore, and finish the year feeling amazing. ✨

Part of my Art of Gathering series, where the food is simple and quick so you have more time for the important connections. Here’s a cosy, nourishing favourite straight from Kate O’Donnell’s Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook—adapted perfectly for the Instant Pot. It’s one of those recipes you can pop on in the morning and return to at lunchtime for something warm, soothing, and deeply satisfying. Ideal for busy days when you still want an Ayurvedic, grounding meal.
🥄 Red Pumpkin Dal 🍵
Ingredients:
1 cup red lentil or split mung beans
3 cups water
1 can coconut milk
2–3 cups cubed pumpkin or butternut squash
1–2 tbsp winter spice mix (ingredients in a post earlier today)
Directions:
🌱 Pressure cook for 5 minutes in your Instant Pot (or rring to a boil in a pan, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils and squash are soft)
🌱 Hand-blend if you want it really smooth.
🌱 Serve with a sprinkle of toasted coconut.

✨ The Art of Gathering | Winter Spice Mix ✨
This is part of my Art of Gathering series — where we spend less time in the kitchen and more time with friends, conversation, and connection. Simple food, thoughtfully prepared.
Welcome winter spices. ❄️
In Ayurveda, winter welcomes salt, sweet, and sour tastes, and this warming blend brings all of that together beautifully. Winter is the season to be generous with spices, and I always keep a jar of this one close by.
It’s perfect sprinkled over potatoes, roasted vegetables, or stirred into a nourishing red pumpkin or butternut squash dal (which I’ll be sharing later this evening).
🌿 Winter Spice Mix (adapted from Kate O’Donnell, with a couple of tweaks)
Ingredients:
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp fennel seeds
1 tbsp turmeric powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp brown sugar
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp black pepper (optional)
Directions:
Dry-roast the coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat until fragrant. Allow to cool completely. Add the remaining ingredients and grind to a uniform powder using a spice-dedicated coffee grinder or mortar and pestle. Store in a small glass jar.
A little jar of warmth that turns everyday meals into something grounding, nourishing, and shared — just as winter invites us to do. 🍂

As we settle into mid-December, there’s a natural pause in the air — an invitation to soften, to slow, and to notice what truly matters. 🫶
You don’t need to have everything figured out right now. Just keep showing up with gentleness, for yourself and for the people you love.
This month, let the noise fall away a little.
Add warmth where you can.
Let simple rituals feel restorative.
And trust that rest is not a delay — it’s nourishment. 🙏

PRANA – Is a Sanskrit word that translates as ‘vital life force energy’. This is also known as Qi, Ki, Chi and other names across different cultures and is the Universal consciousness that links us all. Think of ReiKI and Tai CHI.
Prana rides on our breath, so when we breath in, we take in prana. In Yoga, Prana is the practice of expanding and improving this life force energy by completing postures (known as Asanas) and by implementing the breathing technique known as Pranayama. When the energy flow is blocked then this is when disease can manifest. So by practicing Yoga regularly and being Reiki attuned or going for a Reiki treatment; these can combine and assist with your wellbeing on emotional, spiritual and physical levels.
NADI – Running throughout our physical body are the nadis (nadi, singular), which ultimately form the energy transportation system of the physical body. Like a river flows through the banks, prana flows through the nadis. The Sanksrit word ‘nadi’ derives from the root ‘nad’, which means ‘flow’, ‘motion’, or ‘vibration’. The word itself suggest that the fundamental nature of a nadi is to flow like water, finding the path of least resistance and nourishing everything in its path.
In yoga, the practice of asana and pranayama is intended to cleanse the nadis, thereby allowing prana to flow freely throughout the body.
So that is why I merged the two words into PRANADI as a concept of what I do, by bringing together my energy work and offering a way of bringing Mind, Body and Spirit together in a Holistic approach to living.
This is also shown in my logo that has meditation as the centre in a lotus flower and is surrounded by the five elements of Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Space (Aether).
I’m passionate about PRANADI and are aware we are all on our own path and take ownership for our own healing and health, but want to build through REIKI & YOGA a COMMUNITY that supports the WELLBEING of self and others.
My online interactive Yoga classes are hosted via Zoom on a PAYG basis or through one of our membership options. Anyone with an active membership can join our private Facebook group where we regularly interact and support each other (details of free events are also posted here).
