An invitation to step out of your head and into your body.
There’s room to explore challenge or to slow things down, depending on what you need.
Your practice, your way - always in your control.

There’s a particular kind of tiredness that seems to show up around this time of year.
Nothing dramatic - just there in the background.

I’ve been trying to be a little kinder with it lately, leaning into the things that help me recharge: yoga, time in nature, reading, and lots of play time with my fur babies.

How are you taking care of yourself this month?

Little impromptu flow at Yoga Studio Sattva Waterlooville…wobbles and all…because yoga isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence ❤️

💭 For most of my life, I thought I had to prove myself.
So I did. I built a career in academia — PhD, publications in top journals (even Nature), a doctoral prize, senior lecturer, programme lead, research lead. On paper, it looked like I had it all together.

But yoga? Yoga didn’t care about any of that.
It didn’t ask me to publish more or climb higher. It asked me to breathe. To move. To listen.

That’s why I teach the way I do now. My classes aren’t about “advanced” or “beginner” poses — they’re about you. I give options, I encourage exploration, and I believe in your ability to discover what feels right for your body.

I won’t tell you you’re fragile or that you should be afraid to try. Because yoga isn’t about proving anything. It’s about being. 💜
