It was wonderful to see so many people at today's Sun Salutation Workshop. We investigated how to optimise the technique for our individual body, then practised the full vinyasa of 3 different sequences before coming to stillness.
What did you learn that you will take into your future practices?

Especially for those who are less familiar with my classes, did you know there are some free sample classes available on my website? There's a 20 minute Beginners class and a 15 minute Intermediate class.

Well that's a clean sweep! Every face-to-face class cancelled this week due to the snow. This is where online classes come into their own! If anyone would like an online one-to-one class this week please get in touch.

Looking forward to seeing you in a Yoga or Fit4Life class, whether you are fulfilling your New Year's Resolution, or continuing where you left off in 2025.
There's something on the timetable for everyone (teenagers to centenarians!), of all fitness levels.

Happy New Year 2026!🎊
After the wonderful sunshine that we had for much of 2025's Festive Season, we now have 2026's Winter Wonderland.
After looking at Sunday's forecast and chatting it through with the Speyside Centre, we have sadly taken the decision to cancel this Sunday's classes. As always, I prefer to take a 'safety first' approach - those who drive to the class would likely have experienced challenges on the roads, and there will be lots of work required on the road into and car park of the Speyside Centre. Everyone who had booked has been notified.

That's classes finished for 2025. Thank you to everyone who's attended one of my classes this year.
Those who attended a yoga class in the past week, with the theme "The Dancer on the Christmas Tree", might recognise the poem below, written by AI, which sums up the warmth of feeling in this year's classes.

High on a branch of evergreen,
Where winter's whispers roam,
A tiny dancer made of glass
Calls the lamplight home.

Her skirt is spun of candle-gleam,
Her shoes from frosted dew,
She pirouettes on needles green
As snowflakes drift anew.

Each step becomes a memory,
Each twirl a shining thread -
Of laughter hung on tinsel strings,
Of words once softly said.

She spins for those who gather close,
For those who cannot stay,
For every heart that flickers bright
Along the holiday.

And when the midnight hush arrives
With warmth for all to see,
She bows - a spark of wonder -
The dancer on the Christmas Tree.

Quote of the year thanks to Professor Dawn Skelton: "Just as you wouldn't give someone only half a dose of chemotherapy, we should ensure older people receive the full, evidence-based prescription of exercise."
The evidence is clear.
Gentle, seated exercise does not maintain independence or reduce falls.
To be effective the prescription is for an exercise dose of 50 hours over 6 months, involving 2-3 increasingly challenging strength and standing balance sessions per week lasting at least 30 minutes.

Explore weekend at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) is the most inspiring experience. If you know anybody who would like to find out about the part they could play on an expedition or completing fieldwork, however small or large, whether inexperienced or experienced, this is the place to network and learn. Oh, and there's even a yoga session to start the Sunday 🧘🏻‍♀️
