Menopause Wellness My passion lies in guiding individuals towards reconnecting with their mind, body, and spirit, enabling them to evolve into their best selves in physical, mental, and emotional aspects. I tailor my approach to each individual's unique goals and needs, employing a range of techniques. By empowering people to rediscover themselves and forge ahead to live their fullest lives. I operate from the belief that many of the body-mind's tensions arise from identifying with thoughts and behaviours misaligned with our true selves. My programs are designed to consciously unravel these patterns, using guided transformative loving awareness.

What a week! I’ve just returned from the most colourful and vibrant Morocco yoga retreat, and my heart is so full. 🇲🇦✨

We moved, breathed, and explored together through asana, pranayama, meditation, workshops, and philosophy, all woven around the wisdom of the gunas. There was journaling, reflection, laughter, and a whole lot of magic.

Beyond the mat, we wandered through souks, hiked in the Atlas Mountains, visited the YSL Museum and the Majorelle Gardens, enjoyed hammam treatments and massages, and were nourished by the most incredible food from our lovely chefs.

All shared with 19 beautiful souls. Connections were made in the shala, on mountaintops, during sunrise coffees, and even over a drink or two.

Thank you to everyone who joined me on this journey. I’m feeling deeply grateful and truly honoured. 💖✨

🌅 “The attitude of gratitude is the highest yoga.” – Yogi Bhajan

This week I received the most beautiful message from a student and dear friend:

“We both really love your yoga teaching. I use what I learn in my daily practice, which you invigorate and improve I am sure. You have been life changing for me. I realised only recently it was your yoga class which began my spiritual journey, it helped me into meditation and a much greater consciousness. I say all that to remind you of your value. As a friend and a regular teacher sometimes all of that is left unsaid. It is important for me to say and you to hear.”

Reading this filled me with so much gratitude. Yoga has a way of opening doors, not just to flexibility and strength, but to inner peace, self-awareness, and connection.

If you’ve ever been curious about where yoga might take you, this is your reminder that sometimes a single class can be the start of a whole new chapter. 💛🙏🫶

✨ Surrender, letting go - going with the flow✨

Isvara Pranidhana - the practice of surrender and devotion, invites us to let go of control and trust the journey of life. It’s about recognising that sometimes the greatest strength comes from letting go, trusting the process, and believing that everything is unfolding exactly as it should.

🌿 Whether it’s in yoga, in life, or in relationships, we are constantly called to release our attachment to outcomes, accept the present moment, and have faith that the universe is guiding us. 🌿

This Monday, as our new term begins, we will dive deeper into this practice - letting go of what we can’t control and finding peace in surrender.

Join me for a transformative practice where we flow through postures, breath work, and meditation, all designed to help you trust and surrender to the higher power that’s always with you.

💫 Are you ready to trust the flow? 💫
