The Yoga Being, Gosport (2026)

What an incredible few days training to become a funeral celebrant, shared with such a beautiful group of people.

We were guided by the phenomenal Terri Negus, whose many years of experience brought depth, wisdom, and care to every moment.

We all arrived from different paths that led us here—from retired police officers to grief counsellors—each bringing our own experiences of personal loss. Together, we learned how to be of service to the full spectrum of lives, the many causes and circumstances of death, and supporting families at a time that matters most.

It was an incredibly humbling experience, a gentle reminder of how precious life is, and an invitation to reflect on how we might wish to be remembered when we are gone.

A truly enriching week. So much gratitude x

Time to rise… and keep rising.

I’ve said this before, and if I’m honest, it hasn’t quite gone to plan.

This past year, I’ve fallen more times than I care to admit. I’ve repeated lessons, felt stuck, and at times, I’ve been the very thing standing in the way of my own next chapter.

But through it all, I am so deeply grateful.

Grateful for those who’ve sat with me in the darkness.
Grateful for the ones walking a similar path right now (you know who you are).
Grateful for the new souls who have entered my life at just the right time.

Moments like this show you who your true friends are, where you feel safe, and who truly supports your never-ending evolution.

There will be no classes next week as I’m away on a course… and I can’t wait to share more about that with you soon.

To my beautiful yoga community — please know I’m not going anywhere. There are many more classes, offerings, and new experiences to come.

Thank you for being the kindest, most loyal community I could ever wish for while I step into something new.

With love, always 🥰

What a lovely treat — being Lucy’s model for the day in my own studio ✨

Lucy offers the most incredible aromatherapy massages, with a real passion for supporting women through hormonal changes. It was pure bliss from start to finish.

Lucy is incredibly knowledgeable, with many years of experience in her field.

What I’ve always loved about Lucy’s treatments is how much care she takes to truly understand what’s going on — both emotionally and physically. She listens so thoughtfully, then creates the most perfect bespoke blend of aromatherapy oils.

Honestly, I swear she has magic hands.

I drifted into such a deep sense of calm and left feeling relaxed, centred, and lighter in both mind and body. The most beautiful way to start my Wednesday 💫

I’m a woman who has always worn her heart on her sleeve, and it’s something I’ll never apologise for.

Sometimes life has to shake everything we thought we knew in order to bring us home to ourselves.

With awareness comes responsibility, and that’s where I’ve often been hardest on myself. I know better. I can do better. And here’s to putting those words into action.

My amazing therapist and teacher often reminds me of a quote by T.S. Eliot:

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”

These past 12+ months have felt exactly like that. A deep exploration — and mostly, a battle with myself. So many of my less healthy traits rising to the surface more times than I can count.

After embarking on a psilocybin retreat last month, something landed. When we truly surrender — when we stop grasping for answers — something shifts. The answers begin to appear. And in that space there is love. Not romantic love. Not conditional love. Just love.

Soon it will be the anniversary of my brother’s passing. After the deep grief of losing both Mum and Craig slowly moved through me, it created space. Space to step into another chapter of my life. Of course, it didn’t unfold how I imagined — life rarely does. I’ve been reminded that life isn’t happening to me, but for me.

This last life-quake has tested me beyond what my thinking mind can comprehend. I’ve had many dark days. I’ve reacted from emotion. I’ve lost my way more times than I can remember.

And yet somehow, here I am — arriving back where I started, but seeing it for the first time. With more wisdom. More awareness.

The one thing we can rely on is change, and with that comes uncertainty. I’m learning to be okay with that. I am finally taking care of myself. Returning home. Choosing what lifts my vibration rather than what drains it.

So for anyone who feels in between what was and what is — remember, we only truly have the now.

Tonight I’m back teaching, with deep gratitude for finding yoga all those years ago when life felt very similar to how it has recently.

An opportunity to come home, sit in stillness, and experience the quiet bliss that can arise when we truly surrender.

I am really sorry lovely yogis, but yoga this evening is cancelled.

My wonderful student, who has also become a dear friend, is embarking on her coaching journey.

Leslie is currently looking for volunteers to receive complimentary coaching sessions as part of her training.

I have no doubt she is going to be absolutely fabulous—not only throughout her training, but far beyond it.

If you’re seeking support in any area of your life right now, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a session with this incredible woman.

Words from Leslie -

I have invested in a year long Diploma in a Transformational Coaching Course. Its run by Animas Centre for Coaching Nick Bolton, if you'd like to do some reading around it.

Im looking for volunteers who think they may benefit from free coaching.

You will be benefitting me too; every hour providing coaching, helps me achieve acreditation with a recognised coaching body.

It draws on principles rooted in Phenomenology ie your lived experience, existentialism ie you are what you do and systems thinking ie an interconnectedness. Its an opportunity to hold space for you.

Whilst it draws on counselling theories, coaching is not counselling, nor is it mentoring.
Animas defintion: It is a collaborative, non directive developmental relationship that enables a person to explore, reflect and act in service of greater self awareness, growth and intentional change.

I am encouraged to record all sessions so I can be mentored through sessions.
Ive invested in Zoom Pro and the Otter ai to facilitate.

As a coaching student I would still be obliged to adhere to my current registered body, Social Work England, to act safely and not bring my current profession into disrepute.

Thankyou so much (in anticipation) ✨

I sometimes forget just how beautiful this wellness space truly is.

There is a humble simplicity within these walls. A softness. An exhale.

Most days, I get to hold sessions here — surrounded by extraordinary healers, teachers, and practitioners — each of us tending to this quiet sanctuary in our own way.

Here, people are invited into safety — into healing, into expansion, into deeper awareness.

Into growth.
Into presence.
Into simply being.

This space is more than a studio. It’s a gentle remembering of who we are beneath the noise. ✨

With just days to go until Georgie and I host our deeply nourishing day retreat at The Queens Hotel, I felt called to share a gentle reminder 🤍

Lately I’ve been reflecting on true abundance — not financial gain, but connection, shared growth, compassion, and love. After a long, heavy winter and a challenging year for many, this feels like the perfect moment to gather as women, lift the heaviness, and rise beyond the limits of the thinking mind.

After a recent psilocybin retreat, I was reminded of what truly matters: forgiveness, compassion, and unconditional love. We are not simply who we think we are. So often the mind limits us — but our truth lives far beyond it.

Between us, we each bring 15+ years of inner work, healing, training, and lived experience. This day is a safe, intentional space for you to return to yourself — to release limiting beliefs, rewrite old stories, nurture self-worth, awaken confidence, and reconnect with your inner voice.

Together, we’ll turn that quiet whisper into grounded, powerful truth.

You’ll be guided through:
✨ Movement
✨ Gentle flow yoga
✨ Coaching prompts
✨ Cacao ceremony
✨ Sound healing / gong bath
✨ Hands-on healing

A sacred space for connection, expansion, and embodied transformation.

Investment- £111
Venue - Queens Hotel Southsea
Sunday - 22nd February | 10am–5pm

Light lunch included

We can’t wait to share this empowering day with you.

We are absolutely thrilled to share that we’ve secured a stunning venue for our upcoming retreat.

More details are coming soon… and we cannot wait to share what we’ve been creating for you ✨

I still don’t quite have the words to fully express my experience at the retreat, or the shift that continues to unfold. What I can name is the feeling I’m deeply grateful to have embodied: unconditional love 💕

My heart feels wide open. There’s a bubbling excitement ready to move through me, alongside a deep, steady desire to be of service.

I’m back teaching now, and I can feel this love flowing through everything I do — how I listen, how I hold space, how I show up. There’s a new softness and clarity, and with it a quiet trust that nothing needs to be forced.

It’s a significant shift from where I’ve been over the last 12 months. It feels a little wild to be this expressive about the experience — almost bonkers — and yet it’s the truth. It’s the levelling up I was hoping for, without expectation.

I can see now that I wasn’t fully showing up this past year, living as a shadow of who I am and, at times, consciously sabotaging my own expansion.

Now, I’m allowing what was awakened to integrate — moment by moment — and to gently guide me forward.

I’m choosing to trust the process deeply.

Surrender carries an entirely new meaning ✨🙏
